zines, as they arrive monthly We are determined
TO render the "Vsiter" the most useful paper in the
country. To this end, we will avoid the re-publica-
tion Of every thing like the poisonous trash of

up in :ime: 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 ''Visiter" appropriate for
natives Of Baltimore, and Others desiring to take
paper containing the city news, shall constantly
keep eye to news about town." and shall do what
the daily prints cannot accomplish, viz: give full
record Of allhymenial and obituary news.
