TESTIMONIALS. 
From Hon. J. T. Headley, the Historian, Author of 
“Adirondack, or Life In the Woods," &c. 
It is admirably written, and has just, enough of hn- 
mor, sentiment, and description of scenery mixed, to 
make u delightful. The illustrations arc well chosen 
and very effective, while the instructions rcspecitn" 
routes, localities, distances, outfits &c embrace 
everything that can be desired. Taking Rail in all 
it IS the most complete book that has btc-n published 
oil the Adtrondacks, not excepting even mv own—a 
compliment that I trust will be properly appreciated 
for Us extraordinary disinterestedness. ' 
From Allicit B. Street, the Poet, and Author of 
"Woods and Waters,” ‘ The Indian Pass," Ac. 
I think it is the bed work on the foieet that has ap¬ 
peared— snpeuor in word-paiminr to Murray's arid 
full of wood pictnres and vivid scenes of camp-life. 
We realize that we arc in the forest, are living with 
you in the scenes described, and that the trees are 
waving and the waters flowing over and byns. This 
I think, the time test of a good haok, impressing its 
reality and distinctive life on tile mind. As a “Guide 
Book," it is most creditable and valuable. Indeed it 
is the only tiling of the kind that has yet been pub¬ 
lished—the very thing that has been so long wanted 
and watted for. It must Save cost you intense apnll- 
catton and labor. You may well ho content that you 
have produced a good book. 
From Benson J. Leasing, the Historian. 
I have read those portions dcscriplive of the placeB 
which came under my personal observation, with the 
deepest interest, and most cheerfully testify to the 
general accuracy of your pictnres as I recall impres- 
sions made of them at Ihe dates of my visits i re¬ 
gard your “Descriptive Guide” and the “Appendix” 
as a most nseful--nay. Indispensable, manual for tour¬ 
isty to that wonderful Wilderness. A tour In that 
region is eminently a oraclical matter, and for Ihnt 
reason I regard your "Guido” as ail important, uscrnl, 
and Umely publication.

From Seth Green, Supt..V. Y. State Fisheries. 
I fiDd Vanity Fair to be the best article of tobacco 
adapted to the wants of the sportsman. Have used 
your tobaccos for many yea.B, and know them all to 
be first-class. 
For Sportsmen. 
A trusty friend, in weariness or trouble; a solid re¬ 
source in Winter and rough Weather, is a sweet pipe 
with Vanity Frir. Best dealers havo it. 
From V. II. Lnmlierton, Rochester. • 
Having smoked your tobacco. Vanily Fail, by the 
camp fire and by Iho hearth, I helleve.' it in point of 
fragrance anil taste superior lo all brands known to 
me. Being in search of a tobacco that would not lire 
the tongue and month, I was made acquainted with 
Jdur \ unity Fair, and found it to he the ne plus ultra 
of natural leaf. 
For Cigarettes. 
A cigarette is an iuiertudc to the serious habit: a 
graceful make-believe for spare hours. For eiuar- 
eltes Vainly Fair has no equal. Best dealers have It. 
From Forest aud Stream, N. Y. 
We have received rmm Messrs. Kimball * Co of 
Rochester, some choice specimens of their celebrated 
Vanity Fair tobacco in neat metal cases holding a 
pound each; and, uflet-must thorough trial, do uot 
hesitate to concede to it ail Ihe good qualities which 
its manufacturers claim for it. It Is a most superior 
article, and a great com Tort to diecriminaliniz 
smokers. "
