to render the sVisiter the most useful paper in the

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

natives of Baltimore, and others desiring to take a
| 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 hymenial and obituary news,
