PERRYsBURG JOURNAL.
SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1855.
Publishers Notice.


Scriptions will be adopted, and the shape Of
the paper changed to the common folio. The
present quarto form involves entirely too
much care and labor for the patronage en-
ioyed or expected. We have large press,
and shall make the paper as large as we can
upon it, so that both the outside and inside |
forms of type may be placed upon it and
printed at one impression-the sheet raised
and turned over and another impression ta-
ken, then torn in two-two newspapers will
have been printed at two impressions instead
of the four commonly required. The four
pages of the paper will contain 5 columns
each, IL inches in length. The paper will
be small and cheGp-large enough TO contain
great deal of news, if we'll filled. There
are but few here who advertise, and but lit
tie room is needed for that purpose We
often hear objections from those living away
from the village to paying more than dol
lar for small country newspaper, when
they can get large city paper for that price.
We aim to obviate that difficulty, and offer
a paper at 2 cents week, so that every man
in the county can afford to take it, if he aoiU.
We hope to keep our columns clear of dead
or non-paying advertising, (Which is some
thing that never has been done here yeti and
present clear, we'll printed fresh and read
able paper, which subscribers shall consider
worth what they pay for it. Heretofore all
our own time has been required upon the
mechanical department, leaving no time for
the proper performance of editorial labors.
The new arrangement is intended to afford
some relaxation in this point Of hard servi-
tude. and enable us to sometimes pick up a
few local items. We intend that the Jour
nal shall contain as much reading matter as
any other dollar country paper in the west,

patronage will justify.
TERMs.-sl per year, cash in advance, or

for. and all papers stopped at the end of the
time paid for. Any person sending US five
subscribers, with the cash, shall have the

Quoted by any one acting as agent for us.
Those who owe US for two years, and who
come forward at once and pay up ayrearages
and for one year in advance, will save half
dollar, as we will charge them but $4 so for
the three years. Where we have to present
accounts, our published terms will be ad

ag~We will commence the issue of the
new form of the Journal as soon as 600 sub
2lth) the paper will be suspended, except an
advertising sheet or extra, which will be is
sued every Saturday till further notice.
We hope that all those who feel an inter-
est in establishing and sustaining paper
here, devoted to liberal sentiments and op-
posed to the tyranny of demagogues, the
kingly veto. and party rule, will Immediate
ly manifest their good will by getting us a
list of subscribers. We assure them that we
have published this paper as long as we can
under present arrangements, and that we
prefer to stop entirely rather than 60 forward
any longer with so few paying subscribers
Give us reasonably fair list, and we will
do our best to make readable paper. But
with our present meagre list it is an uphill
business, tiresome and unsatisfactory. We
await the pleasure of our friends, the public,
with whose decision we shall be content.
