Our Own First-Class Clipper sends us the following from the
_Manchester Guardian_, Dec. 11th:--

GROCERY.--Wanted, a live Sugar Wrapper. Apply, &c.

SHOE TRADE.--Wanted, good Hand-sewn Men. Apply, &c.

DRAPERY.--Wanted, for the first three weeks in January, several
Men, for sale. Apply by letter, stating experience, &c., to ----.

Would a Spirit Rapper be accepted for the first? and a man who had got
a stitch in his side for the second? As for the third, there are so
many people sold at Christmas time, that to provide a few men for sale
would be no very difficult task.
