TO SUBSCRIBERS.
The second half year of the Wheel*
Inc: Repository commenced on the
l-!»h of iSovember last, with the 27ih
number. Gentlemen who have received
from the beginning, will please to t.tke
notice that a second payment w as then
due.—T ic paper on which the R eposi
tory is now printed, costs in this place
about ninety per cent, more than paper
at Ch unbersburgh and other places east
of the mountains. The Editor mentions
this in the hope that it will he considered
a i urgent reason for punctuality in mak
ing payment. H acknowledges with gra
titude the attention of a number of his
Matrons, who have h< murably complied
with the terms of subscription.—But.
there are oih< rs, fa few of whom perhaps
have not had an opportunity) who have
yet paid nothing, although they have
been furnished with the Repository
from its commencement. These per
sons are requested to reflect, that a con
id. rable proportion of the amount of
th.-ir subscriptions, has been expended
for paper to supply them....They are re
spectfully and earnestly solicited to be
more punctual. 1 hey shall tht n, as real
patrons, have the sincere thanks of
