"A CHANGE IN THE sENTINEL-TO
OUR READERS.

Having just completed the third volume
of our Daily paper, we ore enabled to carry
out tomorrow purpose which we have
for some time past entertained. That pur.
pose is the suspension of our Daily paper
until few weeks before the meeting of the
Thirtyfourth Congress. Of course the Tri-
Weekly and Weekly Sentinel will be unchanged.
They will be issued as regularly as they have
been from the establishment of our enterprise.
Most of our subscribers take our Tri-W eekly
issue. They live at distance from the Me.
topolis and get the Tri-Weekly paper with the
same regularity and frequency with which
they would get the Daily. Moreover, in the re
cess of Congress, particularly in the long nine
months recess, there is really little, if any ne
cessity for daily newspaper here. Everybody
knows that Washington is not commercial
place, and hence there is no business necessity
for daily paper. If there we're, the daily pa
pers established here, before we entered the
arena, would be amply adequate to meet the
exigency.
From the beginning we have sought to estab.
lish for the Sentinel, not local, but general
character. We have not looked to this city to
sustain us either by subscription or advertising.
Of course we acknowledge with gratitude the
kindness of those who have contributed to the
support of our enterprize-but the generous
help we have received here was more an incident
than an aim.
The City of Washington is known to be, to
a great extent, under the influence and control
of the Federal Government, which, under the
present administration, has withheld from US
the encouragement and support that, as a
Democratic Journal, we had right to expect
an encouragement, and support which it has
rendered to other Journals of opposite and
conflicting politics.
We desire to be useful to the country al
large. We desire ample time for the prepare
ton of our editorial articles, and as we have
none of the Government advertising, which
three of the daily newspaper here enjoy; a
the expense of Daily paper in. Washington
is immense, and as we can perhaps make the
Sentinel more interesting and useful, by chang
ing it from Daily to Tri-Weekly paper, we
have determined to do SO. We propose to
issue it on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday
Of every week. Our readers will bear in mind
that this is but supervision of our Daily paper
A few weeks before the meeting of Congress.
we win resume, and with additional force, our
Daily issue.

NJ Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for

III Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
TO- the public, is attracting great attention. not only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials to
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are so great number of people who are af-
dicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DR..
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his ''rem-
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed has attractedthe attention
ofall sufferers from headache who have heard of it,
From our own knowledge of DR.. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have doubt that the med
icne deserves the favor il receives and that it will
prove to be great benefit TO all who may give il
a trial.-Lymn Nesrs, December 90, 1853.

Gift Enterprises seem. 10 be everywhere
popular. Showmen charge specified amount Of
money for ticket, which secures the purchaser
chance TO draw something valuable, while the pro-
prietors Of the exhibitions draw large profits from
the creduliiy and pockets OF their patrons.
Several nights ago. eight hundred or more per-
sons, OF both sexes, adventured, each, "a quar-
ter in the scheme of the "Dissolving Views.'
While but few OF them found in the little boxes
which they had severally purchased, articles Of
value worth speaking OF and showing, the others
were provided with soap, or perfumery, or incon-
siderable irifes.
On Friday night, the scheme was repeated and
hundreds of people again tried their fortunes
A number of Yankee clocks were among the
ar-iickles, for prizes. As the supply Of soap was
nearly exhausted on the two former occasions.
other things were substituted. The contents OF
four OF the boxes which we saw opened were,
first a bone mustard or salt spoon secondly. half
dozen chain links made OF thread and tin foil !;
thirdly, a brass chain; and fourhly, dozen shirt
buttons. The last fell 10 the lot Of an old bachelor,
who laughed heartily
The scheme, for aught we know TO the contrary,
was conducted fairly Every one who buys
ticket is assured he shall receive SOMETHING, and
so he does.
