enty-hve cents a square for the first inser-
ton, and thirty-scyen and halt cents for
each subsequent insertion. For a single
insertion, one dollar a square. BY refer
ence to our back numbers it will be seen
that such has ever been our custom. We
are but adopting the same custom of other
country journals in charging a dollar for
single insertion. This is mentioned,
merely because some have thought we
were in error in charging more for sim
