and gardeners.
GR. GARRETSON, ha* removed hi*
• wholesale and retail Agricultural and
Garden Seed Wharehouae, to Flushing, L. 1.,
New York, where he intends dealing exten
sively in the above business, and will be at all
times enabled to furnish dealers and others with
every Article in his line of business. And as
the greater part of his stock of Seeds is raised
under his personal attention or direction, or
where it is necessary to import from Europe,
they are procured from the most respectable
Seed establishments there, and their qualities
being tested to his own satisfaction, their accu
racy and vitality are expressly wsrranted.
The vending of Seeds is a business deserv
ing much greater attention from the mercan
tile community than is at present bestowed up
on it. There is scarcely a fanner or planter
who would not purchase an assortment of su
perior Garden Seeds if they could procure them
easily. And as they yield a handsome profit,
some explanations may be requisite in regard to
making sales, Slc. They are usually supplied
by the pound or bushel, and will afford a profit
of 100 per cent, or more, at the New York re
tail prices. For convenience they can be neat
ly papered and labelled and assorted into boxes
(or put up in strong papers, thereby saving the
expense of box) each suitable for a family gar
den, which will be supplied at from $1 to $25
—the latter being sufficient to crop a garden
of one acre. Or they can be put into G 1-4 and
12 l-" 2 cent papers, neatly labelled, and assort
ed suitable for a retail dealer, each of which by
the quantity will be charged so as to allow a
profit of 80 per cent, on the New York retail
prices. Any one wishing to engage in the
vendingof seeds, and not having experience,
by addressing the proprietor will have the ne
cessary information given, and they may. feel
confident they will be served with none but ar
ticles of the very best quality.
The Proprietor has further to state, that he
is enabled to furnish all kinds of Books on Ag
riculture, Horticulture, Floriculture, Aboricin
ture, Rural Economy, 6tc. &c. Also, Agri
cultural Implements of Husbandry and Garden
Tools of every description. Also, Fruit snd
Ornamental Trees and Herbaceous Flowering
Plants, Roses and Green House Plants of a very
great variety; all of which can be packed so
aato be transported to any part of the United
Status, West Indies or elsewhere. Great at
tention has been paid to obtaining both from
foreign countries and at home, the finest agri
cultural seeds, all of which can be furnished in
large quantities, and where the purchase is
made for cash a discount will be allowed. A
liberal credit will be given where a good under
standing is established. There will be no dif
ficulty in arranging this point to mutual con
venience, and on this, and every other subject,
the suggestions of correspondents will receive
the fullest consideration.
MULBERRIES FOR SILK WORMS.
60,000 PLANTS of the Chinese Mulberry
or Monti mult icaul is, for sale. Os all the va
rieties of Mulberries for silk, this appears most
eminently entitled to preference, and since its
introduction into France seems destined to re
place every where the common White Mulber
ry for the nourishment of silk worms, such is
its ,suueriority over all others. The tree is
beantiral snd ofa rapid growth, and will thrive
well in almost say situation, and a few years
ars sufficient to raise considerable fields of them
in full vigor, sufficient to support an immense
number of silk worms. The raising of silk is
as easy as the raising of wheat and much less
laborious. For a number of years past it has
been a regular and profitable employment of
many of the farmers of Connecticut, during the
early part of the summer, and is emphatically
a business of the farmer—of the cottage—a
simple labor, in which females and children
who do not essentially aid in supporting a fam
ily may turn their services to profit. Every
family of the most limited means can raise the
mulberry and produce cocoons, and for a trifle
can procure a pamphlet which will give them
the necessary information of reeling, Acc. The
plants can be packed so as to be transported to
any part of the Uniou and will he furnished in
quantities to suit purchasers, and at very mod
erate sates. Nov. 16
TO PRINTERS.
E WHITE <Jt WM. HAGER, respectfully
• inform the Printers of the United States,
to whom they have been individually known
as established letter founders, that they have
now formed a co-partnership in said business,
and an extensive experience, they hope to be
able to give satisfaction to all who may favor
them with their orders.
The introduction of machinery in place ol
the tedious and unhealthy process of casting
Hrpe by hand, a desideratum by the European
fibunders, was by American ingenuity, a heavy
expenditure of time and money on the part of
our senior partner, first successfully tccoin
plished. Extensive use of the machine-cast
letter, has fully tested and established its su
periority in every particular, over those cast
by the old process.
The letter foundry business will hereafter
be carried on by the parties before named, un
der the firm of White, Hager & Cos. Their
Specimen exhibits, a complete series, from
Diamond to Sixty-four Lines Pica. The Book
and News type being in the most modern style.
White, Hager & Cos. are Agents for the sale
of the Smith and Rust Printing Presses, with
which they can furnish their customers at man
ufacturers'prices; Chases, Cases, Composing
Sticks, Ink, and every article used in the print
ing business, kept for sale and furnished on
short notice. Old type taken injexchange for

■WALDIES LITERARY OMNIBUS.—
W Kovel and Important Liter ary Enterpnze!
Kovels, Tale*, Biography, Voyages, Travels,
Review, and thsKews of the Da y.__lt was
one of the great objects of “Waldie s Library,
«to makegood reading cheaper, and to bring
Literature to every man’s door.” This object
has been accomplished; we have given to
books wings, and they have flown to the up
permost parts of our vast continent, carrying
society to the secluded, occupation to the lite
rary, information to all. We now propose still
further to reduce prices, and render the access
to a literary banquet, more than two fold ac
cessible ; we gave, and shall continue to give,
in the quarto library, a volume weekly for two
cents a day ; we now propose to give a volume,
in the same period, for less than four cents a
week, and to add, as a piquant seasoning to the
dish, a few columns of shorter literary matters,
and a summary of the news and events of the
day. We know, by experience and calcula
tion, that we can go still further in the matter
of reduction, and we feel, that there is still
verge enough for us to aim at offering to an
increasing literary appetite, that mental food
which it craves.
The Select Circulating Library, now as ever
so great a favorite, will continue to make its
weekly visits, and to he issued in a form for
binding and preservation, and its price and
form will remain the same. But we shall, in
the first week of January, 1837, issue a huge
sheet, of the size of the largest newspapers of
America, but on very superior paper, n\no, fill
ed with books, of the newest and most entertain
ing, though, in their several departments of
Novels, Tales, Voyages, Travels, &c., select in
their character, joined with reading, such as
should fill a weekly newspaper. By this meth
od, we hope to accomplish a great good; to en
liven and enlighten the family circle, and to
give to it, at at expense which shall be no con
sideration to any, a mass of reading, thut, in
book form, would alarm the pockets of the pru
dent, and to do it in a manner that the most
sceptical shall acknowledge the power of
concentration can no farther go.” No book,
which appears in Waldie's Quarto Library, will
be published in the Omnibus, which will be an
entirely distinct periodical.
Terms. Waldie’s Literary Omnibus, will
be issued every Friday morning, printed on pa
per of a quality superior to any other weekly
sheet, and of the largest size. It will contain,
Ist. Books, the newest and the best that can
be procured, equal every week, to a London
duodecimo volume, embracing Novels, Travels,
Memoirs, &c., and only chargeable with A’ews
paper postage.
2d. Literary reviews, tales, sketches, notices
of books, and information from “the world of
letters,” of every description.
3d. The news of the week, concentrated into
a small compass, but in a sufficient amount to
embrace a knowledge of the principal events,
political and miscellaneous, of Europe and A
merica.
The price will be TWO DOLLARS to clubs
of five subscribers, where the paper is forward
ed to one address. Tiie clubs of two individ
uals, FIVE DOLLARS ; single mail subscrib
ers, THREE DOLLARS. The discount on
uncurrent money will be charged to the remit
ter; the low price and superior paper, absolute
ly prohibit payings discount.
[p“ On no condition well a copy ever be sent,
until the payment is received in advance.
As the arrangements for the prosecution of
this great literary undertaking, are all made,
and the proprietor has redeemed all his pledges
to u generous public for many years, no fear of
non-fulfilment of the contract can be felt. The
Omnibus will be regularly issued, and will
contain, in a year, reading matter equal in a
mount to two volumes of Rees’ Cyclopedia, for
the small sum mentioned above. Address (post
paid,) ADAM WALDIE.

PHILADELPHIA SATURDAY COURIER
rruiE vast patronage which has been awar
-L ded the Courier is the best evidence of
its approval. It has the largest subscription
list in this country. It is the largest and chea
pest Family Newspaper ever issued in the U
nited States, containing articles in Literature,
Science and the Arts ; Internal Improvement,
Agriculture, in short every variety of topics
usually introduced into a public Journal. Giv
ing full accounts of sales, markets and news
of the latest dates.
Without interfering with the usual variety,
the Courier has presented ten (volumes of the
most popular literature'of the day within the
last year. This feature puts into the hands of
its patrons the most entertaining and popular
current literature, amounting each year to six
times the price paid for subscription—in addi
tion to the immense quantity of other matters
which appear in its columns. In the contin
uation of this feature we shall endeavor to pre
sent new and popular works w ith such expedi
tion that tire publication cannot be anticipated
in other sources. In the future numbers we
shall draw from the pens of such writers as
D’lsraeli, Miss Mitford,
Capt. Maryatt, Leitch Ritchie,
Miss Landon, J. R. Buckstone,
Charles Dickins, Barry Cornwall,
Cornelius Webb, Douglass Jerrold,
Theodore Hook, Crofton Croker,
Thomas Campbell, Mrs. S. C. Hall,
Haynes Bayly, Mrs. Gore,
And, in short, from the whole range of the
current literature of Europe, with which our
arrangements will supply us at as early a mo- ,
ment as they can be received in the country, j
Besides we have the pleasure of numbering j
among our contributors many of die most dis
tinguished writers of our country, from whose
pens ORIGINAL TALES, POEMS, SONGS,
NARRATIVES AND SKETCHES , will con
tinue to add interest to its columns.
The Architectural beauty of many of the
PUBLIC BUILDINGS of this city is prover
bial. Believing it will be acceptable to our
numerous patrons to be presented with EN
GRAVED ILLUSTRATIONS of those edi
fices, we are engaged in bringing out a com
plete series, which will form a collection that
may well be termed, THE LIONS OF PHIL
ADELPHIA. Where it is expedient, we ac
company the engravings with 6uch descriptions
of size and tacts of history, as may be of inter
est.
The Courier is published at the low price of
Two Dollars. For this small sum subscribers
get valuable and entertaining matter each week
enough to fill a common book of two hundred
and fifty pages, and equal to fifty two volumes
a year, and which is estimated to be read, week
ly, by at least two hundred thousand people,
scattered in all parts of the country, from
Maine to Florida, and from the sea board to the
lakes.
This approved Family Newspaper is strictly
neutral in religiousvid political matters, and
the uncompromising opponent of quackery of
every kind.
O'As a trifling expression of our regard,
we shall print the whole series of the Engra
ved Illustrations, at their completion, upon fine
white paper, in uniform style—forming a beau
tiful collection of Views, and present them to
such of our Country Brethren as may oblige

CAREY’S LIBRARY OF CHOICE
LITERATURE.
TO say that this is a reading age, implies a
desire for instruction, and the means to
gratify that desire, on the first point, all are a
greed ; on the second, there is diversity both
of opinion and practice. We have newspa
pers, magazines, reviews, in fine, pamphlets of
all sizes, on neatly all subjects, which have
severally their classes of readers and support
| ers. And yet copious as are these means ol
| intellectual supply, more are still needed. In
j addition to the reviews of the day and passing
| notices of books, the people in large numbers,
j in all parts of our great republic crave the pos
session of the books themselves, and details,
j beyond mere passing allusion, of the progress
|of discovery in art and science. But though it
| be easy to ascertain and express their wants, it
jis not so easy to gratify them. Expense, dis-
I tance from the emporium of literature, engross
ing occupations which prevent personal appli
cation of even messages to libraries and book
sellers, are so many causes to keep people ill
way from the feast of reason and the enjoyment
of the covered literary aliment. It is the ob
jectofthe publishers of the L ibrary to obviate
these difficulties, and to enable every individ
ual, at a small cost and without any personal
effort, to obtain for his own use and that of his
favored friends or family, valuable works, com
plete. on all the branches of useful and popular
literature, and that in a form adapted to the
comfort of the reader.
The charm of variety, as far as it is compati
ble with morality and” good taste, will be hold
constantly in view in conducting the Library,
to fill the pages of which the current literature
ol Great Britain, in all its various departments
of biography, history, travels, novels and poe
try. shall he freely put under contribution.—
W ith perchance occasional exceptions, it is in
tended to give entire the work which shall lie
selected lor publication. When circumstances
authorize the measure, recourse will be had to
the literary stores of Continental Europe, and
translations made from French, Italian or Ger
man, as the case may be.
Whilst the body of the work will be a reprint,
or at times a translation of entire volumes, the
cover will exhibit the miscellaneous character
of a magazine, and consist of sketches of men
and things, and notices of novelties in literature
and the arts throughout the civilized world.—
A full and regular supply of the literary, month
ly and hebdomadal journals of Great Britain
and Ireland, in addition to home periodicals of
a similar character, cannot fail to provide am
ple materials for this part of our work.
The resources and extensive correspondence
of the publishers are the best guarantee for the
continuance of the enterprize in which they
are about to embark, as well as for the abun
dance of the materials to give it value in the
eyes of the public. As far as judicious selec
tion and arrangement are concerned, readers
will it is hoped, have reason to be fully satisfi
ed, as the editor of the Library is not a strau
ger to them, but has more than once obtained
their favorable sutfrages for his past literary
elforts. TERMS.
The work will be published in weekly nuni
bors, in stitched covers, each number contain
ing twenty imperial octavo pages, with double
columns, making two volumes annually, ol
morn, than 520 octavo pages, each volume ; and
at the expiration of every six months, sHtriscri
hers will be furnished with a handsome t ile
page and table of contents. The whole amount
of matter furnished in a single year, will be e
qua! to more than forty volumes of the com
mon sized English duodecimo books. The pa
per upon which the Library will be printed,
'will be of the finest quality used for book work,
and of a size admirably adapted for binding.—
As the type will be entirely new. and of a neat
appearance, each volume when bound, will
furnish a handsome as well as valuable, and
not cumbrous, addition to the libraries of those
who patronize the work.
The price ofthc Library will be Five Dollars
per annum, payable in advance.
A commission of 20 per cent, will be albrwed
to agents; and any agent or postmaster, fur
nishing five subscribers, and remitting the a
mount of subscription, shall be entitled to the
commission-of 20-per cent. or a copy of the
work for one year.
Editors of newspapers, to whom this pros
pectus is forwarded, will please insert the a
bove as often as convenient, and Bend k copy

A I¥ew Advertisement,
A .Yetc Year, and a JVew Inducement, for sub
scribing to the Weekly Messenger!
THE cheapest and decidedly the most pop
ular Family Newspaper in the U Slates,
with a circulation of many thousand subscrib
ers The American Weekly Messenger is
published every Wednesday, on beautiful white
paper, of the largest class, at $2 per annum, or
ten subscriptions for $lO.
Its contents are adapted to the wants of the
Farmer, Mechanic, Tradesman, Agriculturist,
Merchant and Manufacturer,
j'' This Journal was commenced on the first of
January last, and, without any previous effort
to herald its success, went into immediate and
rapid circulation. Such was the unprecedent
ed popularity which attended its projection
that, in about six months from the period it
was first issued, not less than fifteen thousand
names were embraced on its subscription lists!
which have been ever since constantly and
rapidly increasing, and now bid fair to super
cede in extent and stability every other pub
lication which has existed in the literary world.
It is generally conceded that the contents of
the Messenger embraces as much ofigimal
matter as any other periodical of the present
day. The diffusion of useful and wholesome
information, with a view to the cultivation of a
correct knowledge of Polite Literature, is the
chief object at which it aims. Arrangements
have been entered into, by which the publish
er will be assisted in the editorial department
by the talents of three or four gentlemen of
distinguished abilities—and it is intended to
introduce several important improvements,
which will bespeak additional popularity for
its columns.
As the character and leading features of this
Journal are well known throughout the United
States, it will be superfluous to enter into a
recital ol the same. The season is approach
ing, however, when the reading public are ex
pected to make their selections for the next
year, and we deem it advisable, therefore, to
furnish a brief and explicit statement of our
terms, which we hope will prove satisfactory,
and be implicitly observed :
A ten dollar bill, forwarded by mail, postage
paid, will pay for ten copies of the Messenger
for one year ! A five dollar bill, forwarded by
mail, postage paid, will pay for four copies for
one year ! Two dollars, paid in advance, is
the price of an individual subscription for one
year One dollar, in advance , will pay for a
single subscription for six months only.
A five dollar note will pay one year's sub
scription to the Weekly Messenger and also
the Gentleman’s Magazine, edited by W. E.
Burton, Esq.
[Q J Remittances from Clubs, to be entitled
to the full advantages of the liberal terms here
offered, must be made in sums of five’s and
ten's of current Bank notes—any lesser a
mount, forwarded by mail, will be classed a
long with individual subscriptions.
A premium of FORTY NOVELS, neatly
and appropriately bound, containing the pro
ductions of many of the celebrated writers of
the present day, will be presented to any Agent
forwarding .forty subscribers, and the pay in
advance, as heretofore stipulated.
At the expiration of the term subscribed for

HAVING received a number of communi
cations from individuals, making enquir
ies respecting my Brick Machine, invented by
Calvin Waterman, and non in successful ope
ration in this place, I take Ibis method of an
swering them—l invite all who feel disposed
to purchase rights, to come and see the opera
tion of the machine, and if there be anyone
who says' he is disappointed in his expectations,
I bind myself to pay the expenses of his trip.
I do not expect to sell a right to any one with
out their first having seen the machine; but in
order to afford an idea of its value, I annex the
following certificates, one of them signed by
two of the most experienced brick masons in
the Southern States. In my absence from
Macon, the editors of the Messenger will act
as my authorized agents-
T. L. SMITH.
We having witnessed the performance ot Mr
T. L. Smith’s new Brick Machine, invented
Calvin Waterman, now in operation in this
place, take pleasure in recommending it to the
public. The fact of its performance is its best
recommendation. We timed it, and find that
with new moulds and inexperienced hands, it
made at the rate of two thousand three hund
red and sixty-eight brick per hour. By mould
ing ten hours in a day, it would therefore turn
out twenty-three thousand six hundred per day.
It requires six boys to bear off. and four to sand
the moulds, &c.—together with four grown
men. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to
make the above named quantity’ of the most
beautiful brick per day. .

I have witnessed the performance of Mr T.
L. Smith’s new Brick-making Machine, just
put into operation in this place : and have no
hesitation"in pronouncing it a great and useful
improvement on any other method of brick
making 1 have ever seen, both as to the quality
ofthc brick and expedition in making. By re
quest I timed the machine for half an hour ;
the result of tb*strial shows that with 14 hands
the machine will turn out of beautii'uf and well
tempered brick, 2,3G8 in one hour, or about 40
to the minute. JNO. RUTHERFORD.

THE subscribers tender their thanks to the
gentlemen of Glynn County for the lib
eral patronage they have received and hopd by
their continued exertions and untiring*ttention
to business, to merit further patronage. They
intend in the fall to open as splendid an assort
ment of GOODS in their line, as will b<? found
in any other establishment-of the kind in the
city of Darien. They again invite the public
to call and judge for themselves.
Their establishment will remain open during
the Summer and all orders punctually attended

PROSPECTUS
or the •
SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
THIS is a monthly Magazine devoted chief
ly to Literature, but occasionally find
ing room also for articles that fall within the
s ope of Science ; and not professing an en
tire disdain of tasteful selections, though its
matter has been, as it will continue to be, in
the main, original.
Party Politics and controversial Theology,
as far as zealously excluded. They
are sometimes so blended with discussions in
literature or in moral science, otherwise unob
jectionable, as to gain admittance for the sake
of the more valuable matter to which they ad
here : but whenever that happens, they are in
cidental, only ; not primary. They are droßs,
tolerated only because it cannot well be ser
ved from the sterling ore wherewith it it incor
porated.
Reviews, and Critical Notices, occupy
their due space in the work : and it is the Ed
itor’s aim that they should hare • threefold
tendency—to conv<js, in a condensed form,
such valuable truths or interesting incidents as
are embodied in the works reviewed, —to direct
the reader’s attention to books that deserve to'
be read, —and to warn him against wasting time
and money upon that large number, which mer
it only to be burned. In this age of publica
tions that by their variety and multitude dis
tract and overwhelm every undiscriminating
student, impartial criticism, governed by
the views just mentioned, is one of the most
inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries, to
him who does wish to discriminate.
Essays, and Tales, having in view utility
or amusement, or both— Historical sketch
es—and Reminiscences of events too minute
for History, yet elucidating it, aad heighten
ing its interest, —may be regarded as forming
the staple of the work. And of indigenous
Poetry enough is published—sometimes of no
mean strain—to manifest and to cultivate the
growing poetical taste and talents of our coun
try. *
The times appear, for several reasons, to de
mand such & work—and not one alone, but
many. The public mind is feverish and irri
tated still, from recent political strifes : —The
soft, assuasive influence of Literature is need
ed, to allay that fever, and soothe that irrita
tion. Vice and folly are rioting abroad : —They
should be driven by indignant rebuke, or lash
ed by ridicule, into their fitting haunts. Igno
rance lords it over an immense proportion of
our people : Every spring should be set in
motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to in
crease their number ; so that the great enemy
of popular government may no longer brood,
like a portentous cloud, over tjw destinies of
our country. And to accompltm all these ends,
what more powerful agent can be employed,
than a periodical, on the plan of the Messenger;
if that plan be but carried out in practice r
The South peculiarly requires such an a
gent. In all the Union, south of Washington,
there are but two Literary periodicals ! Nortli
ward of that city, there are probably at least
twenty-five or thirty ! Is this contrast justified
by the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or
the actual literary taste, of the Southern peo
ple, compared with those of the Nothern ?
No : for in wealth, talents, and taste, we may
justly claim at least an equality with our breth
ren ; and a domestic institution exclusively
our own,beyond all doubt affords us, if we
choose, twice the leisure for reading and wri
ting, which they enjoy.
It was from deep sense of this local want,
that the word Southern was engrafted on the
I name of this periodical : and not with any de-
I sign to nourish local prejudices, or to advocate
| supposed local interests. Far from any such
thought, it is the Editor’s fervent wish, to see
| the North and South bound endearingly togeth
er forever, in the silken bands of mutual kind
ness and affection. Far from mediating hostil
ity*to the North, he has already drawn, and he
hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest
matter thence : and happy indeed will he deem
himself, should his pages, by making each re
gion know the other better, contribute in any
essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds
that now threaten the peace of both, and to
brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fa
ternal love.
The Southern Literary Messenger has
now reached the 19th No. of its third volume.
How far it has acted out the ideas here uttered,
is not for the Editor to say. He believes, how
ever, that it falls not further short of them,
than human weakness usually makes Practice
fall short of Theory.
No subscription will be received for less than
a Volume, and must either begin with the cur
rent one—or may commence with Vol. IV, the
first number of will be issued on the Ist
January, 1838.—The price is $5 per Volume,
which must be paid in all cases at the time of
subscribing. This is particularly adverted to
now, to avoid misapprehension, or future mis
understanding—as no order will hereafter be
attended to, unless accompained with the price
of subscription. THOMAS W. WHITE.

TIIE HERALD AND STAR.
IT cannot be denied that the present state of
our country demands peculiar and well di
rected activity on the part of the press to make
known the features of the various topics which
are now agitating the various portions of the
national confederacy. To supply, at a low
price, the inland towns with information, at a
little delay only, after it has been received in
the Atlantic cities, is praiseworthy’, and should
in the end- reward such persons as exert their
ability for the successful furtherance of this ob
ject.
The Editors and Proprietors of the Boston
Daily Herald, convinced of the importance ol
a carefully conducted press to disseminate in
formation throughout the country, some weeks
since issued the first number of the Semi
Weekly Herald and Star, which they have
fcund 'to be suiU.bb>.. to the .wants of Gy inland
community, as it furnishes over one hundred
newspapers in a year, at the very low price ol
two dollars This paper is made up from the
Daily Herald with such additional matter, in
the shape of stories, legends, poetry, statements
of the markets, and such information respecting
sales as may be deemed advantageous to the
yeomanry of the land.
The peculiarity of the Herald and Star will
be found to be in the fact that while it is not
engaged in party politics, it reserves to itself
the liberty of speaking boldly and openly on
every subject which concerns the weal of the
whole country—and summons to aid, besides
the constant supervision of the Editors, valua
ble assistants, who are industriously and hour
ly exerting themselves to give strength and a
bility to their various departments.
The Herald and Star is published every Tues
day and Friday morning, and mailed on the
night previous in order to ensure its speedy
transmission by the mails.
The price is Two Dollars a year payable in
advance; $2,25 in three months; $2,50 in six
months ; $3 at the end of the year. The best
method to ensure the reception of the paper is
to enclose $2 in a letter addressed to the Pro
prietors. HARRINGTON & CO
