Since the publication Of the May number,
the demand for the LADIES' COMPANION has
been unprecedented and beyond the most san
guine anticipations. AT the commencement OF
the volume an additional number of copies were
printed, which was considered at the time ade-
quate TO satisfy all the orders which might be
received, and leave a considerable number on
hand Tor subsequent calls. The publisher is
more than gratified in stating that the whole
edition was nearly exhausted before the issuing
Of the seventh number of the volume; and at
this time but very few complete sets remain on
hand, to supply the numerous orders which are
daily received from every section of the United
States.
In consequence OF this great unforeseen in
crease of new subscribers, be has determined
to double the number of impressions for the
subsequent year; while he most gratefully ap-
precistes the unprecedented encouragement ex-
tended to the Ladies' Companion, and at the
| same time he begs to assure the readers of the
magazine and the public in general, that it is
his ardent resolution to meet il with a cores
ponding liberality on his part to merit its con-
! tinuance.
| SPLENDID STEEL ENGRAVINGS
by our best artists, accompany each number
illustrated by Tales and spirited Sketches
| The Ladies' Companion contains q larger
I quantity threading than any other magazine
issued in this country, and its subscription price
/ is only three dollars year.

Townshend, Jan. 30, 1888.
Mr. RYTHER,-The Young Lady, so
unexpectedly introduced to your columns as
the author Of an "Original Hymn" sung at
the dedication Of the Meeting House in
Townshend, desires through your favor 10
decline the honor prepared for her by the off,
cious patronage Of the gentleman who com
municated said hymn for the PhGnx. Like
certain Congressional resolutions, it had be-
come so changed by reason Of amendments
and additions as scarcely to be recognized by
the young Lady"
But, sir, since lin these our days" certain
gentlemen's brains are better trained in vul-
gar Wittieisms and ignominioas eajoyments
than in great and honorable exertions, either
for themselves or others, it would i'll become
the character Of lady or Christian to har-
Dor malice against your "Communicator" ;
and will close my remarks by modestly re-
questing that he would not again offend the
dignity of the female sex by assuming its ha-
biLimenfs! CT nc
(Since the publication of the counterfeit
hymn, thought it not improper to tax your
forbearance with the particulars OF the Ded-
ication alluded to and true copy OF the
Hymn, for publicacion.)

Mr.. Breediove, rho Collector Of the Port OF New
Orleans has threatened to turn out any officer who
should vote tbs Wing ticket; he has thus laid
himself lable to the penalty Of the 9Th section Of
an act of the Legislature Of Louisiana, entitled an
Act to support the privilege Of free suffrage in
elections, &c, which provid-s-
'sIf it can be made to appear to the satisfaction
Of the proper court, that At any election held or to
be holden under the laws of this sae any intinai-
dattons, THREATS, or violence shall have been used
or practsed, with design to influence usduly, or to
overawe such election, or to restrain the freedom
Of choice, &C. &c. on conviction thereof shall be
fined in sum not exceeding one thousand dollars,
and be i'm prisoned not exceeding three months.
Now, Mr.. BreedIove has been guilty Of intina'-
dahng, of broadening, of using .ssde,nuenee, and
that TOO as a salared officer Of the United States.
and is therefore only subject to the penalties
above prescribed, hut ia moreover guilty towards
the general government.
