paper in the country at the price It IS Sold 1T has
ali the merits and ohs of the defects Of the large
paters Of the day, for while the earliest literary
matter may lie found in its columns, ;udcious
compilation of domestic and foreign news, with the
usual variety Of wit and sentiment, will render it

the battle and the breeze for the last IWENTY-ON
YEARS, and has held its position in the midst of tot
