r We commend tbe anpexed .sD.

~ We commend the annexed sen, sible article from Boston paper, to the attention of the people of this county and would here take occasion, at the expiration of the first half. year of our administration, to thank the patrons of the ENoU1RER for the liberal patronage extended us during that time. Though tutoring under the disadvantages incident to one hitherto entirely unacquainted with the local affairs of this section, we have endeavored to keep our readers advised of such matters of home interest as have occurred since the paper passed into our hands. The increase of our subscription list >and various evidences of good will on the part of our patrons forbid any cause of complaint from us, and yet there are very many men in good circumstances within the county who take nc focal papers, nor by their patron. age or influence do anything towards their support: As the season approaches which affords the most leisure to the majority of the county people, we hope to add still more to our list of subscribers, promising to.spare no exertion to improvei the paper, as circumstances shsM permit. But while desirous of extending it's cir~. culation, we would have no nsan take the paper merely to " sustain it," as is; sometimes remarked by newspaper pat- rons; we intend to give an equivalent for the subscription price, and desire the. money of 10 man unless he fedls that it; is received. The ENQUIRER is furnished subscribers in the county, free of post., age, for ONE DOLLAR per annum if paid iN advancs;; or one Dollar and a quarter at the close of the year.
 But here is the article anudei to:
 Take your County Paper.
 People do not know how much they, loose by not subscribing for their county paper. There is always certain matters, of local interest, in which it behooves, every good 'neigHbor and citizen to keep duly posted up. Instead of sending away, fifty or 8 hundred miles for miscella. neous paper, suited only for the general. reader. every man should take first. the paper. published in his county, and pay for it in advance; then if has got any money to spare for mere amusement or qualification of his own taste, let him subscribe for a good city paper contain. ing able reports of popular and scientific lectures, Legislative and congressional in> telligence, with a general summary of foreign and domestic news to the latest 1noment1of going to press. Now if this /, eis not good advice, we hardly know what is. It is the way s0e shall do; and we are'not so selfish as to mourn the loss cfl dozen subscribers, if we should come to that, who are perhaps leaving fellow towpsrnan, some poor but worthy printer, to work on in weariness of split for the want of that generous support, which woGid not only cheer lis heart, but enable him to make his paper all that his patrons could desire. We know some> thing of the sad experience of chose who have the control of country papers, from our own connexion in years gone. with a journal of that class. 1tbecomes man to be just before he is genel ous. and 10 remember that charity begins at home.' Never subscribe to newspaper without puying Jo, it in advunce. The man that does his duty in this respect, reads his paper weekly with increased satisfaction. Every one knows that his greatest com. fort is derived from the consciousness of having done or tried to do right. Pay the printer who is constantly incurring large outlsys for paper and composition. and who almost invariably pays for every article set up for his paper, even before. it passes into the'hanGs of the subscriber. Again we say take your coanty paper. and pay for it'in advance.
