Connecticut "Election Goods."
THE Subscriber refers the generous Public to his late
advertisements to be informed of the articles he still
continues to sell by wholesale and retail; and also
respectfully informs them, that he has just come to hand, a
fresh assortment of Chintzes and Callicoes, Gentlemen's fancy
Waistcoating, silk Romal, buff and other Shawls, printed
Jeans, cotton and linen Handkerchiefs, a variety of Ribbons,
all of a late importation; Nankeens of a superior quality, and
cheaper by nine pence in the single piece than can be
purchased in New-York by the quantity. Among his fancy
patterns for ladies are, the Covent Garden Cross-bar, the
Renelagh full moon, the Prussian stormont, Harlequin's motto,
and an olive check inclosing four lions rampant and three
flours de Luce; and for gentlemen's waistcoating, the
Sportsman's fancy, the Prince of Wales's New-Market jockey,
and the modest pale blue. He doubts not in the least, but that
among the great variety of figures he has, every fancy may be
suited; and as for the prices, he makes not the least
hesitation to assert, they will be approved.--He also has
taken the greatest pains to procure for young masters and
misses such cloths and figures as will be durable, pleasing,
and well suited to the approaching general election.
THOMAS TISDALL.
N.B. A few pair of gentlemen's doe skin hunting Gloves, and
choice old Spirits by the gallon; a _little_ of which may be
used as a cordial. 9
