WEEKLY EDITION between so, 00O& so 900.
In issuing their Prospectus fer 1896 the
propriclurs of the Post take it for granted,
that the public are already tolerably wei, ac-
quainted with the character of n paper .hat
has grown strong during the storms and sun
shine of THIRTY FOUR YEARS. Their
object always has been, as it remains to be,
to publish weekly paper fol the family cir
Gle, which shall not only amusc, but also in
struct and improve, those who may iead it.
To accomplish this object, the best articles
are selected or condensed from foreign and
domestic periodicals, and original articles Of
an instructive character procured, when pos
siblc.
Letters from Foreign Lands the most in
tcrcsting portions Of the Weekly News of the
World Sketches of Life Adventure and
Character; Selected and Original Articles
upon Agriculture; Account OF the Produce
and Stock MARKETS; and n Bank Note List
are included among the solid information to
be constantly found in the Post.
But the mind rcquircsa wider auee-t
has facl,ltics which delight in the humorous
and lively the imaginative and political
These faculties also must have their appro
pirate food, else they become cnfeCblcd and.
As a consequence, the intellect becomes mar
row and one sided, and is not able to take AN
enlarged aid generous view of human nature
aud its destiny. To satisfy these hcavcn-im-
planted cravings Of our mental being, we de-
vote a fair proportion OF the Post to Fiction.
Poetry and llumor.
Among our contributors in the first two Of
the above Departments, are several of the
the most gifted writer's in the land. Wcalso
draw freely for Fiction and Poetry upon the
best periodicals in this country and Great
Britain. We design commencing n NcwStory

NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
This is one Of the few large papers filled
with life and thought, instead Of numbering
trash Its management is mai kcd by liber-
atty, courtesy, ability and tact II employs
the best literary talent and ST ares no pain
or expense As family paper, one of lit
crary and general intelligence we cordially
commend it.--Cayugo ChieLAHbHrR,N y.
Our readers may rely upon it, that Deacon
& Peterson will be as good as their word So
far as we can judge by years of observation,
these publishers DO rather more than they
promise; and their paper is edited with very
marked ability. 1t is singularly free from
silly scntlmcntalism and buster, but it is of
a healthy tone on all subjects, always mod
crate in language but always advocating the
right. We find it one of the most generally
attractive papers in our exchange .Safnr-
