Ignorance and superstition-who pretend -

To Hotel keepers we recommend our paner

by exciting laughter against them. In this,
however, we shall endeavor TO avoid that icen.

A portion of our paper will be occupied with
comprehensive notices Of all passing events
giving the pith of the news of the day, With
out burdensome details.
We eschew partisan politics; yet we shall
continue to express our opinions impartialy
on all public measures. Follies in govern.

not spare them, on whichever party the cen

hitherto been so cordially extended to US.

shall be entitled to one copy gratis.
