Particular Notice – My friends up the River, who expect to make me a payment in Grain – are informed that Richard HALSTED will start in a Boat on Monday the 9th inst. for Tioga-Point and Owego, and that he will be ready to return by the 28th November. They are therefore earnestly requested to prepare and deliver Grain to the amount of one year’s subscription, (2 dols. 50 cts.) at the following places, by the 25th of the month.
Tunkhannock – Isaac OSTERHOUT
Braintrim – Capt. James WHEELER
Wyalusing – Jabez HYDE, Rindaw

Those who consider the advanced state of the season, and the probability that Mr. HALSTED’S Boat will be the last which will go up and return before the close of the river – will undoubtedly comply with the above request; and thereby be entitled to the hearty thanks of Asher MINER

The subscriber having come to a determination of altering his present mode of doing business, it becomes necessary that all accounts whatever should be closed either by payment of Judgement Bond.

Zeb. BUTLER, Wilkesbarre.
