Iesdes articles from regular Contributors, the Pub
Usher will be prepared to give re-pubcations OF the
choicest tales, &C., from the popular foreign maya
zines, as they arrive monthly. We determined
to render the Viser'' the most useful paper in the
country. To this end, we will avoid the re-publica-
hol OF every thing like the poisonous trash some OF
the mammoth sheets forced to print merely to fill
uI in time. Such matter is untitled for the family
circle, and therefore, has business family paper
Oar aim is to do good, not harm
In order to render the ''Visiier" appropriate for
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 full
record Of all hymenal and obituary news.
