choicest tales, &c, from the popular foreign maya
zines, as they arrive monthly. We are determined
to render the ''Visiter' the useful paper in the
country. To this end, will avoid the re-pubca-

circle and therefore, has business family paper,

natives OF Baltimore, and Others desiring TO take a
paper containing the city news, we shah constantly
keep eye 10 news about town, and shall do what
the daily prints cannot accomplish, viz: give full
record oil all hymenial and obituary news.
