to render the Nisiter the most useful paper IN the

ton OF every thing like the poisonous trash some of
the mammoth sheets forced % Drlnt merely to fill
up in time Such matter is untitled for the family
circle and therefore, has no business in family paper

natives of Baltimore, and others desiring to take
paper containing the city news, shah constantly
keep an eye to news about town." and shall do what
the daily prints cannot accomplish, viz give full
record of all hymenial and obituary news.
