WEAV VILE:
SATURDAY MORNING, AUG. 2, 1858.

SEND THEM PAPER.-Since the subscription
price is so reduced, you should not neglect to
send your local paper home. Your friends will
value it much more than you do, and will read it
with deal of curiosity and interest They will
read with amazement of occurrences, which, TO
you, are commonplace In this journal they will
find note of every occurrence of any Importance;
in the single column of Brief Reference there
is recorded more Of event than is commonly
found in all Of a country journal-no other
mountain paper contains so much closely con
ensed intelligence. To secure this distinguishing
caturc nothing is required but industry-somc-
times hundred, or more papers are attentvcly
perused to obtain the intelligence of that one
column. Original articles are carefully prepared
and We are gratifcd, to see many of them jour
neyng far from the quiet place of their beginning
But the most grateful reward of our labor is the
good repute in which our paper is held at home;
observation and report convince us that no local
newspaper is more generally and attentively read
than ours, and that none is received with greater
consideration away from home.
These facts attested by your own judgement,
should induce you to send the Journal to intelli-
gent friends, who thcrefrom may estimate, cor
rectly, the intelligence and cultivation of people
who require such local newspaper.

"Stood and gazcd and listened to The deep,
sulen roar of the ocean, thrilling the soul with
mysterious awe, suggesting its dread tragedies
and terrible secrets In that roar we heard the
shrieks of dying men and women the pitiful
moaning Of starving ones drifting upon the wild
waters after shipwreck; the hoarso shouts Of
excited mariners battling with the tempest, the
booming of artillery and the clashing Of sabre;
on hostile decks. As we listen and muse the
voice of Ocean brings the tones of dear ones that
sleep beyond its foods and of noble spirits buried
in its depths. 1t speaks of the happy, mournful
past, and looking far out upon its waters, until
vision is lost in distance, it speaks of the Infinite
Future"
