The writings of Mr. Shaw, under bis familiar nom de plumc, have been widely read in this sección, and there is much anxiety to both see and hear hira as a Wcturet.

Aeksey, on Detroit ítreet, where they will flnd an assorjent froiu whicii they cannot fail to select éne to giye satiifaction. Mr. Aeksey has shown great mechanicftl sicill and taste as a tnanufictnrer, and his can-iagea are made of the best material, and are elegantly fimiished. That this is so is proved by his ha?ing fieqíiíDtly taken premiums at our Couuty f airs. Gond examine his stock.
