added so much to the dignity of humanity, Messrs.
YOUNG & O’ROURK would ask the discerning
citizens of this enlightened republic—and particu

a well dressed man. In order to place within the
reach of every man the opportunity of adding this
fourth requisite of a perfect man—they have just
returned from the city of Philadelphia with their
Fall and Winter Goods of the choicest selections
ever brought to Lancaster, consisting of black and
various colored Cloths, Pilots, Beavers and English j

Satin Floreutine Silks, Ball Vestings, Fancy Silks I
of all description ; Woollen Goods suitable lor 1
winter’s ware. All the above of the very richest j
French styles, in fact every thing to deck the outer
man, twenty per cent, cheaper than ar>y other Es
