A quantity of first rate cheese, from Lima, for sale by the subscribers, at 9 cents per pound. S. GRAVES. * Brooms. The Subscribers are receiving a large quantity of Flat and Round Brooms, of a superior quality--which will be afforded to Merchants by the dozen or hundred at a low rate. S.M. & J.S. SMITH. Rochester. * Writing Paper, Of a superir quality, Nos. 1 & 2, just received and for sale at the Times Office. * Wanted. A situation as Clerk in a Store. I can cite references and produce vouchers, certifying to my temperance, honesty and sobriety. I flatter myself that I possess the art of selling Goods, with that ease and activity which necessarily constitutes a first rate salesman, if they are not marked at too great an advance from cost. I claim just as much relation to dandyism, as common decency requires, am not stiffened with such an extra quantity of buckram, as to prevent me from accomplishing any thing that is necessary to be done about a store. It is doubtful whether I come under the stamp of 1815, '16 & '17, or not. I presume however, that I don not, if I have a just idea of the opinion of the person, who proclaimed his wantage in the People's Press of last week. He undoubtedly is of opinion that clerks of the present day are not possessed of as many good qualifications, as they were of an older stamp, they are deficient in numberless good recommendable things, therefore, I have not the presumption to assert, that my abilities (in the estimation of that person) are adequate to the counter hoppers of his good old stamp; but still I possess numberless good qualities, such as chewing a quid of tobacco in a very decent, genteel and becoming manner, smoking a cegar in Lafayette style, and sundry other good qualifications to numerous to mention--I have no business of my own to attend to, excepting the necessary calls of nature, eating, drinking, sleeping, &c.&c. I have calls, I should want the privilege of attending to, when absolutely requisite; in every other respect (Sunday excepted) I would endeavor to busy myself constantly in the store, and make that my home. A line addressed to A.B. and left at the Post-Office will be attended to. A Clerk. Batavia. * Mrs. Colton's School.
