Besides articles from regular Contributors, the Pub

choicest tales, &C., from the popular foreign maya
zines, as they arrive monthly. We are determined
to render the Nsiter'' the most useful paper in the
country. To his end, we will avoid the re-publica-
ton of every thing like the poisonous trash 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 fmdiy 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 a
paper containing the city news shall constantly
keep to about town. and shall do what
the daily prints cannot accomplish, viz: give full
record of all hymenial and obituary news.
