Circulation or the Day Book
To Advertisers.

We have been absolutely compelled by the
vast increase Of our subscription list,
and our inability to supply cur patrons un-
der our old arrangement. even with our
Mammoth Fast Press and other facilities and
with our army o newsboys and carriers-to
change our hour Of going to press to an ear
licr time or day. Our advertisers will there
lore govern themselves accordingly, by han
ding in their favors seasonably, i! they wish
them published the same day.
Our change Of hour enables us TO gige the
news both Northern and Southern, from
Seventeen to nstteiesn hours in advance of the
other papers printed in Nor folk, which is q
material consideration to our readers, while
it benefits our advertisers BY bringing their
wants before the larger audience. which we
can now accommodate.
The Day Book was not established az a
specially "advertisng sheet" nor has Il de-
generated to any such. As a general thing
mere advertising sheets are the poorest pos
sible channels Of communication with the
public. We believed that feRny pres
would succeed IL this city, if properly con
Quoted, with weIl-ee!ected MISCELLANEOUS at
ter-moral, sentimental, humorous, serious,
poetical, practicai-having every day one or
more good sketches and poems, the latest
news, both home and foreign, Hotel Arrivals,
report Of the state of the Markets arrivals
and ciearances Of vessels at this port, a cogn-
plete and minute local record OF both cities,
and sprightly and interesting eorrespoR-
dence. Our eXpec; atoms have been amply
realized, and the Dag Book has jast entered
upon barely the strth poa'h OF the existence,
as alrealy a permanent institution, with a
circulation greater than that Of all the ether
Norfolk dailies for city and CO lntry circula-
ton combined, with an established popularity
amongst all classes Of the community, and re-
joicing in the best prospects for the future.
The advantages which the Dag look Of
fe,'s to the advertising public hardly need =
statement. The "unoon.idered tritie,'' only
O.pe Cent, that bays copy oft, carries il III
to the hands OF everybody. Our scores OF
newsboys scatter themselves, each afternoon,
into every corner aud lane and alley Of both
cities, visit the steamboat landings, The rail
road ears, the harves, the hotels, the pack
cts, the country carts; SO that the paper flies
daily in every direction-in the back ooun-
try and abroad npon the water. Each days
issue Of the Day Booh is read by at least
from lttcen to twenty thousand persons; and
its reading matter is SO arranged, upon every
page, as inevitably to bring every advertise
mcnt directly under the eyes Of this vast
multitude Of readers. Fefbam sa.

A STROLL Up-Tows, PeKTsMoU TIL,

A STROLL UP-TowR. PGRTsMoU TIL
On Saturday evening last We took a
stroll up Town, to take a look at the
improvements in case that We were 50
lucky as to find any in construction.
We were pleased to notice a large brick
building and store, having been erected
on the corner of County and Chestnut
streets, by Mr.. S. LOOMS. Also several
other Improvements in that neighber-
hood, which we have not space to no.
tice among them we noticed number
of new stores, on lands over which, but a
few years ago, the broad old oak with
its branches waved-iands, which
but short time ago were covered by
thick woods: thus the business of Ports
mouth israpidly extending. We con-
tinued our stroll down Chestnut street
and soon reached the Portsmouth Union
Gar Works We WALKED in and took a
look through the Factory and found
about thirty mechanics there employed.
They are building, we noticed among
others, two cars for the Norfolk and Pc
tersburg Railroad, one second class pas
senger car and one baggage car, both Of
which are nearly completed, and for
beauty, strength and durability of these.
as we'll as all the work "turnel ont"
from this Factory, we believe that we
can safely challenge every Factory in
the United States to excel them.
On our return home down High street
we were struck with the improve
ment lately made on that street, Just
above the Catholic Church. 1t will be
remembered that upon account Of a sink
ia the land, running through this part of
the Town, that High street just here is
damned up, minus a sidewalk and jast
where passers have t. cross from the
side walk in she street, tie gutter has
been cnt by the large quantity Of
water descending through it remarkbly
wide, and the steady Stream has turned
itinto quite a little brook. 1t is Just
here that some one has made an i'm
provcment, by placing rock IN the
middle Of the gutter upon which passers
may step and cross dry footed, perhaps,
As Portsmouth is now city, We would
Suggest an AL tiitional improvement be
made at this point, which will be b ut
small expense to the city, viz: That
plank, say six inches wide be lax! across
the gutter, the middle Of which yes;ng

THE SABBATH IN PROFESSIONALISM
though the streets were covered with
snow to the depth oftwo or three inches,
there were services at most of the Church.
es. odd Sol came forth at morn with
such warmth, that the day Overhead
was unusually beautiful, and most of the
snow which covered the earth at morn
ing, was melted and gone ere the God
of day sat down behind the western hills
st evening.
In the morning we went to hear the
Rev. J r Finley, of the Didwiddie street
Methodist Il Church, and think that we,
as we'll as all others who wadcd through
the snow to hear linn, were well repaid
for their trouble.
Dr. Finley is an easy and pleasant
speaker, cliciting the full attention of
every hcarcr, and possessing, we believe,
the power of investing almost any sub
iect with eloqucnee; and we think that
every one can be but well pleased with
his style. He preaced an able and in
structive discourse from Psalms, LINK
/: Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
thou that leadest Joseph like flock,
thou that dwellest between the cherubims,
shine forth
The DR.. reasoned to his hearers that
though portion of the Church may
sometimes grow cold, it was only ne
cessary for its members to pray ear
nestly to their Shepherd, and trusting
ly-their faith equalling that with which
David cried unto Him, and the miseries
ofthe Church would be removed, that
their heavenly Shepherd would lead
them. as the children Of Israel, beside
still waters and green pastures where
their spiritual desires might be supplied
and they might feast unmolested by the
prowliug wolf and hungry beasts.
Though the world may throw numer-
oas temptations around each Of the flock
to induce them to stray from the fold that
the deceptive world would harm them not
so long as they followed closely the
voice of their Heavenly Shepherd, for He
is infinitely powerful infinitely willing
and ever ready to relieve, assist and bless
all those who cry unto him in faith, and
that He will take all, who live unto him
thus, ere long to a Heavenly pasture,
which will ho ever draped in ''llvinS
green"
The day passed away quietly, aye re-
markedly SO for Portsmouth and such a
day; but as usual the "corncr supper
ters' paraded IN considerable strength,

Hail honered ages of grand progression,
While each one clings to his profession,
And science moves with onward motion,
no suit each wayward thought and notion,
bringing to light, some new invention,
More strar ge than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true endeavor,
Though making graphic strides forever,
While reason urges proud ambition,
To strive for wondrous competition;
Yet in this ageof glorious Art,
We can the need of praise impart,
When meritorious efforts claim
4 modest puff to gid the name.
And thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side,
Two men who bravely know their calling,
Whose works are worthy OF extolling,
Two model artists of the day,
And most obliging in their way,
Noreland Il Jakeman--mark the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop number one,
You'll get the best Of Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend, or neighbor,
THEY'LL charge but moderate for their LABOR,
So now invite each one and all,
So walk around, and give them call.
