We commend TO consideration the flowing

And more. Last week We SeceiVed print
ed prospectus from l. B. Peterson, publisher
Of the Saturday Evening Post" mammoth
weekly, asking Us 10 publish to the amount OF
hrO dOlLdrsi Well, as nigh as We cosld guesl,
,OithOut putting it in type the prospectus would
make about one column, Now, We could not
afford to have it composed for two dollars, let
|. alone giving it an insertion in our paper II We
did publish it, it would only serve to take away
our own circulation, therefore We Decline
Had Mr.. PETERsON offered us anything like q
, fair compensation for advertising and "puf-
} 6ng,' (which he also wanted) We would have
probably pGblishe it, but at his starving price
wx WILL NOT. We would sooner have done
it for Subscriber for nothing, than for this
,nan.nOih institution. W., for one, will never
give our aid in circuculating these mdmn'otA'
!, TO the exclusion OF our own circulation.
