publican, we won't trade a certainty for an
uncertainty.

who haye the pleasure of that gentieman's
acquainance. lie will shortly take up his
residence in Penu Yuu, N. Y., where he will

no doubt will become quite as popular there

the best wishes of this entire community :
To whom this may come— The bearer, Mr.
REED <i. MILLER, has been in my employ tor
the past nine years and has frequently had
the entire charge of my business, lie volun
tarily severs the pleasant business relations
which have existed between us, to embark in
trade elsewhere. Iu reluctantly parting with
him it affords me pleasure to* testify to bis
business capacity, correct habits and unswerv
ing fidelity. 1 most unreservedly commend
him to the entire confidence of the public.
