II First Rate Famiiy Newspaper
in every particular, calculated to meet the
wishes of The people from one end of the
Union to the other, the following are the
points TO with they invite attention, as en-
bracing the character Of the sheet.
THE GREAT SIZE.
1t is a sheet of the largest class-ls
printed on fair, clear type, with fine white
paper, and contains more reading matter
than amy weekly published.
POPULAR TALES.
1t is devoted to the highest grade of
light Literature, each number contains
three or four chaste Original and Selected
TALES; which, while they shall inter-
est the young, shall at the same time
point a moral. 1t also contains much
good, and never any bad POETRY. A
copious compound Of welI-told Anecdotes,
Rich llumor, Pointed Wit, Just Satire,
and sentiments the most touching. 1t
contains also, the greatest variety OF ORR
ginal Tales, Sea Sketches, Poetry, Songs,
Charades, besides the latest and best Sc
iections from the American and English
Magazines, and all other fountains OF
choice Original Literature.
In fine, the Post, upon which the con-
Germ is founded, has been conceded every
where to be the very first newspaper in
the country in the quality and quantity of
its Original 7aics, Essays, Poetry ant
other matter.
Here follows a list of names Of about I
fifty eminent writers, who are regular con-
ribuors to the paper, which we have not
room to insert.
Original Stories appear in every num-
Der of the paper, with original articles on
W subjects.
PUBLIC LECTURES.
A portion Of its columns viii be devoted |
during the Lecture Season, TO SCIEN-
TIFIC LECTURES carefully reported
at length-a feature possessed by no 9th
er weekly paper-by one ofhe best Re
p0riers IN IN the United States, Hence,
remote can have all the adyant-
age of these highly popular discourses
with but little cost. The great size of
the paper also enables us to give all inn
portant Congressional Proceedings at
length, and all reports and other publ,
documents in full, together with occa-
sional Congressional Speeches in full.
THE FARMERS.
1t is intended to make the paper one of
great interest to the Farmer, by giving the
Reports of the different Agricultural AS
the new inventions; late ex-
periments in tilling, and able papers from
every source entitled to confidence; so
hat the Agricultural portion Of the COM
nunity will find in its columns, without
,ntrenching upon other matter, all that is
desirable to know, without the expense of
sepcrate journal.
AS A NEWSPAPER.
As weekly newspaper, it is believed

S.ATURD4Y posi-" is not equalIed a

ccount of every matter of news up to the .
our of printing. This is great deside- :
alum to those who take only single Z
,eekly paper, and which means less ex- (
,nsive than those connected with the es- u
lblishment cannot accomplish. The =
lumber of persons employed, and the "
engaged in the publication Of
lis paper, altogether surPasses that Of
