.ESn OF rHr VoLuME.-The present number
ends the XIV volume of The Cecil JVhig.
Looking back to tn" time when without any
experience in such mnttcrs and with some
fear as 70 the result Of the experiment, we
commenced its publication, we cannot but
feel sraticd at its present extent of circula-
ton and the local popularity 1t has attained.
It's list Of subscribers now is more than
double that which sustained il the first seven
years, ot-its--xistances and at no former time
has it increased 50 rapidly rs during the past
year. But it has not yet attained half the
circulation ii ysNoutl thayc in the county.
Our aim is to make it more particularly u
local newspapcr--rot neglccting at the same
time the important general news of the times
and as such We believe We know of no
county paper which cxccls it. 1t is in this
point that its main Recommendation to the
people Of Cecil consists. though We fAtter
oulsclf that it is not,wthout interest in other
departments. Certain it is that no county
paper we have seen has an original literary cor
respondencc equal to Or nearly qpproachingi t..
Writer'S whose articles, are sought after by
the leading papers and magazines Of tile
cities are no Strangers to- its columns; and its
news correspondents reach not only over thc
whole county but almost the whole country
These arc the things that have secured its
prcsent-for Il village iiournal-cXtensive cir
culatioii; and7for the future We have plans laid
ont which will not tail, II VIC meet WITH no
misfortune, to add its interest aud useful
ness. This is n more lengthy notice than we
usually give to the ending of a volume--it
being our practice to ''.lv" rather than to
''say''-and, VIC ,loseHit by thanking the
friends OF theipsper for their Indulgence of
its faults and their steadiastncsS to its inter
cSts. -.- ,.
