DITION AL' COLUMNS
Hitherto we have frequently been under the necessity of
excluding various article.i.of local interest, and a large
proportion of general news, in consequence of the great
press of advertisements with which we have been fa 7
mitred. We have often, also, been forced to the alter-
native of materially curtailing- our reports as well as
our editorialreMarks, on the same account. The pro-
posed enlargement will enable us to embody a greater
share of such -intelligence as may be" generally useful,
and to extend our reports
.of the various public•meet7
ings, Oc., which may be held in the neighbourhood,
as well as to present to our readers a mass of amusing
and instructive extracts. from modern publications,
which latter we intend to make a prominent feature in

the STANDARD. • - 7
