to render the Vsiter" the most useful paper in the

ton OF every thing like the poisonous trash of
the mammoth sheets are forced to print merely to fill

In order to render the 'Visitern appropriate for
natives of Baltimore, and Others desiring to take
paper containing the city news we shall constantly
keep an eye TO ''news about town. and shall do what
the daily prints cannot accomplish, viz: give a full
record OF all hymenal and obituary news.
