GERMANTOWN TELEGRAPH,
THE MODEL FAMILY AND AG-
RICULTURAL PAPER.
PUBLISHED AT
GERMANTOWN, PHILA'IA CO., PENN.
EVERY WEDNESDAY MoRNING.
BY PHILIP r. FRE.AS.
PRICE-Two DOLLARS PER ANNUM-

We take this occasion TO announce TO Farm
ers throughout the country, that ii is the in
%tention of the Editor and Proprietor of the
"Germantown Telegraph" not only to con-
tinue as heretofore the Agricultural Depart
ment of his paper, but sedulously to add to
its character and value by all the means at
command. All necessary space shall be pro-
vided for a full Irecord of Agricultural Details
and a full development of every branch of the
Farmers Pursuit. He will in future, as he
has always heretofore, aim to be practical,
and to be Of real and substantial advantage
to husbandry. His course, also, will continue
to be thoroughly independent, and wholly un
biassed by any other motives than those he
conceives to be promotive of the true interest
Of Agriculture in its broadcast meaning. Neither
individuals, cliques, societies, or any other IN
fluence shall swerve him from the path of
right and duty.
Farmers, throughout the country, who de-
sire a Newspaper, issued weekly, and equal
to any other family news and literary journal
published, which makes Agriculture a speci-
atty, will find the Germantown Telegraph"
to fulfill every condition, and to render it en-
tirely unnecessary for them to subscribe for a
periodical exclusively agricultural.
Practical Horticulture, Pomology and Car
dening, generally, will meet with particular
attention.
As a Literary and News Journal it shall
not be surpassed by any In the country.
Neatly printed on good paper, of the largest
class, it shall continue to be one Of the hand
soonest newspapers of the day.
Every Family, in town or country, whether
they take other papers or not, will find the
Germantown Telegraph to be worth, in lit
eral benefit, twice the amount of subscription.
No subscriptions received without the cash.
Price WI Dollars in advance. Subscriptions
not paid within the year, $3.50. Mail sub.
scribers will have the cash postage deducted
when not exceeding % cts. per annum, pro-
vided the subscription be paid strictly in ad.
vance. Postage stamps to this amount will
be returned as change with the receipt.
Any person sending five new subscribers at
one time, with the cash, will be entitled to tina
paper for one year.
Specimen numbers sent on request. "
