Besides articles from regular Contributors the Pub
Usher will be prepared TO give republicaons of the
choicest tales &c. from the popular foreign maya
zines as they arrive monthly. We determined
to render the Visern the most useful paper in the
country. To his end we will avoid the re-publica-
ton of every thing like the poisonous trash some Of
the mammoth sheets forced to print, merely to fill
up in time. Such matter is untitled for the family
circle and therefore, has business in family paper
Our aim is to do good not harm
In order to render the Vsitern appropriate for
natives of Baltimore, and others desiring to take
paper containing the city news, shall constantly
keep an eve to news about town. and shall do what
the daily prints cannot accomplish, viz give full
record of all hymenial and obituary news.
