of this city. They will also have occa-
sional contributions from Otway Curry
and Harvey d. Little, Esq; and from
number Of other ladies' and gentlemen,
whose productions have heretofore given
interest to the pages Of the Mirror, and
to those Of various eastern and western
periodicals.. The character Of the paper

Orieinol Tsles.-The e-eminent tai
ents Of Mrs. Dumont for this species Of
writing, ARE acknowledged, east and west.
The specimens Of Mr.. Dillon's powers in
this way, are cred,table not only to HIM
self, but also to the rising literature OF
the west. Other pens, that arc favorabiy
known, will also contribute to this de-
partment Of the Mirror; and we do not
hesitate to promise, and we presume the
public will not hesitate to believe, that il
will occasionally contain gems Of rare
excellencc.
i OviGisal Essays.-Ths prolix and the
|ahstruse will be kept aloof from this de-
Ipartment, for which We shall endeavor to
procure the familiar aud interesting.
Il Early TsMcs u tie Wess.-Under this
head will be presented occasional sketch
es ofevents Of interest, which happened
during the early settlement aud frontier
wars Of this western country. The mat
tier for these sketches will be drawn from
lauthentic sources
Brief orixisal Sketches. These will
be mainly illustrative Of western peculiar
ities-scenery, character, history, aud
Icustoms.
Original Poetry.-The names OF "
way Curry, Harvey d. Little, and john
b. Dillon, amongst others, are suihcieo'
guaranty that this department Of the nsir-
ror will be respectfully filled.
In addition, the paper will contain lit

esting Foreign and Domestic News

~The publishers, determined to make
a fair trial TO ascertain whether q weekly
Literary paper can be % supported in the
west, as to warrant the expenditures OF
time and money which are necessary to
make such a work good, have made ar
engagements TO publish the Cincinnati
Mirror, and Western Gazette Of Litera-
ture and science. for At least one year /,
upon the plan stated above. AT the ex-
piration Of that time, they will feel them
selves at liberty 10 abandon the field,
should the support extended to the work
be insufficient to warrant them ih con-
tinuing it, but for that period, It will be
continued at all hazards. As their ex-
Penses will be heavy, and as the proposed
publication will not come directly into
with any other paper in the
western country, the publishers expect
with some confidence to be amply coun-
tenanced and supported by the Western
Community.
