The new firm will now be known as Carl Decker & Uo., and its place of business is on West Randolph street, on Haymarket square. The house handles -poultry, eggs, butter, produce, also furs and pelts. The proposition made Mr. Fendig was so good a one, he thinks, that he could not afforjj to turn it down, and while we all are sorry to have him and his family leave Rensselaer, yet the best wishes of the people of the community go with thdni to their new home.

He will retain his business here, and Charles Stevenson, who has been his trusted assistant for some years, will have charge .of same.
