06 28       Tom Moore — the great Confectionary of Watertown—has made arrangements that will please the young, middle aged, and old.  He is now ready to accommodate all who want a cool and refreshing glass of ice cream in the afternoon or evening.  Call at his establishment at any hour after 12 o'clock, and you will be accommodated with just what you want, at any price you can afford, as will be seen by referring to his advertisement in another column of this paper.  Read it, and give the brilliant Irish Poet's name-sake a benefit!   WD
