known as the largest Family Newspaper
in the United States, with a list of near
TWENTY-SJX THOUSAND SUB
SCRIBERS. The new feature recently
introduced Diminishing their readers with
new books oftbe best literature ofthe dav,
having proved so eminently successful,
the plan will be continued. Six volumes
Of the celebrated writings of Captain Mar
ryatt, and sixtyfve of Mr. Brooks vaIua-
bic Letters from Europe, have already
been published without interfering with
its news and miscellaneous reading. The

For this small sum subscribers get yalua-
bic and entertaining matter, each week
enough to fill common book of 200 pa
ges, and equal to 81 volumes year, and
which is estimated to be read, weekly,
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. The paper has been now
so long established as to render it too well
known to require an extended prospectus,
the publishers, therefore, will do no more
than refer TO the two leading daily political
papers Of opposite politics. The Pennsyl-
vanian says-"The Saturday Courier is
the largest, and one of the best family
newspapers in the Union;' the other, the
Inquirer and Daily Coulie Ter, says, ''It is
the largest journa! published in Philadel-
phia, and one Of the very best in the u.
States" The New-Yorh Star says
eve know ofnothing more liberal on the
part Of the editors, and no means more
etficacious to draw out the dormant talents
Of our country, than their unexamped
Iberality in offering literary prizes"
The Albany Mercury OF March 10th,
1886, says, ''he Saturday Courier, is de-
cidedIy the best Family Newspaper ever
published in this or any other country,
and its value is duly appreciated by the
public, we may judge from its vast cir
culatlon, which exceeds $4,000 per week
Its contents are agreeably varied, and each
number contains more really va liable
reading matter than is published in a
week in any daily paper IN the Union
Its mammoth dimensions enable its enter
prising proprietors, Messrs. woodward
f. Clarke, of Philadel phia, to re-puhllsh
IN its columns, in the course of a year,
several of the most interesting new works
that issue from the British press; which
cannot fail to give to it permanent inter-
est, and render it worthy Of preservation.
To meet the wishes, therefore, of such of
their subscribers as desire TO have their
numbers bound, they have determined on
issuing an edition Of the Courier in the
quarto form, which will render it much
more convenient for reading when it is
bound in a volume, and thus greatly en-
nance it's value"
THE QUARTO- EDITION.
Under the title of the Philadelphia
Mirror, will commence with the publica-
ton Of this Prize Tale, to which was "a
warded the prize of$lOO, written by Miss
Leslie, editor ofthe splendid Annual To-
ken, and author of Pencil Sketches and
other valuable contributions to American

poems, tales, &c, offered in competition
for the $500 premiums, will add value and
interest to the succeeding numbers, which
