n ARCH NUMBER OF OUR ADVERTISING SHEET.

We are now preparing the first edition oil
our Advertising Sheet for the month OF March
Advertising is now recognised As an absolute
necessity for success in huSincss--cvery city
has lis medium of reaching the buyers. the
great public at large; and we have undertaken to
supply this great necessity Tor the CITY OIL
Richmond. Our January and February num-
bcrs were emincntly successful, and we have
reason to know that our advertisers wSre
largely benefited By the money spent in al
vertising The Spring trade opens in New
York much sooner than in Richmond and
hence the Northern Cities were more largely
our patrons than Richmond-but we expect
the March number to receive patronage
much greater than heretofore from the mer-
chants of the city.
The merchants Of Richmond are not so fully
alive to the necessity Of advertising as are Their
quick. competitors Of the Northern rltlcs'
and our Advertiser is the very paper through
which Northern merchants reach Southern
customers. |, is well known ut the North
that the "Enquirer" has welcome throughout
the South which no Northern Advertising
Sheet can expect to receive from the Southern
peopl. In addition to this our valuable ana
interesting reading matter, selected IRON inc
other editions of our paper ensures to our isSuea
consultation and preservation greatly beneficial
to the advertiser.
The merchants Of Richmond dcsirous ol
availing themselves of our Advertising Sheet
should prepare their advertisements as soon as
noss;Ll. and send them to our office.

RIDING A HoBDY.-The Archbishop of
Dublin tells of horseman, who, having
lost his way, made complete circle;
when the first round was finished, seeing
the marks of horses hoofs, and never
dreaming that they were those of his own
beast, he rejoiced, and said, "This, at
least, show me that | am in some track p
When the second circuit was finished, the
signs of travel were doubled, and he said,
"Now, surely,I am in beaten way" and
with the conclusion of every round, the
marks increased, till he was certain that
he must be in somo frequented thorough
fare, and approaching populous town;
but all the while he was riding after his
horses tail, and deceived by the track of
his own error. So it is with men that
