The present number closes the 18th vol
ume Of the "Sunbury American" 1t is
now twelve years since we set our bark
ahoat, and we say without the least exag-
geraion, that we have succeeded beyond
our most sanguine expectations. Within
the last four and half years, when the
"American" was enlarged, We have near
ly doubled our subscription list, and our
other patronage is greater than we had ever
hoped for, and not exceeded, perhaps, by
any Office in Northern Pennsylvania. We
have reason TO be thankful for all this,
whether it be the result Of our own indus
try, or the kind partiality OF our friends.
The expenses of our office are heavy,
and our Subscribers will testify that we
never dun them. But as number of them
are in arrears from five TO ten, and some
twelve years, this hint, we trust, will be
sufficient.
