Besides articles from regular Contributors, the Pub
Usher will be prepared to give re-pubications of the
choicest tales Sc. from the popular foreign maya
zines, they arrive monthly. We are determined
to render the sterN the most useful paper in the
country To this end, we will avoid the re-pubca-
ton of every thing like the poisonous trash some Of
the mammoth sheets forced to print merely to fill
up in time. Such matter is untitled for the family
circle and therefore, has no business in family paper
Our aim is to do good, not harm!
In order to render the ''Visitern appropriate for
natives of Baltimore and others desiring to take a
paper containing the city news, shall constantly
keep an eye to about town. and shall do what
the daily prints cannot accomplish viz; give full
record of all hymenal and obituary news.
