H-It will be seen by reference to the
Prospectus Of The New York Ledger, which
will be found in another column, that the
proprietor Of that popular weekly has Sc.
cured an array Of distinguished contribut-
ors for his paper for the New Year such as
has never been cqualed by any publication
in the world. The Ledger is always char
acterized by high moral tone, and has a
circulation larger than that of any other

as Chicago houses, freights added. They
also keep tho best article of Kerosene Oil

North of Dubuque, We get the highest price
for subscriptions, the best price for adver-
Using, and yet we never personally solicit
patronage. Our success is attributable to
Winding our own business and working in
dustriously for the commercial benefit and
social harmony Of those who surround US.
We.pretend to no talent or scholarship-we do
not claim orthodoxy for our paper-nor is
it great moral exemplar editor is not
saint, nor even church member. This
paper is not owned or edited by county OF
town clique; it asks no favors on the score
Of Democratic or Republican politics, and
it nerer did. If the paper is not worth
four cents a week, no one need take it. i
our exchanges don't like t,they can "mani

not live quarrclling life with man, woman
or newspaper, and those who desire tho
notoriety which results from that system o.
coarse sparring too common with the jour
nails Of both country and city, will save
time and oblige us by turning their cannon
in some other direction, and leaving tht
writer of this long, unreadablc article e
the task of informing the public about thu
current events OF the day, aud doing what
he can to promote the good nature, and
consequently the happiness, Of all who
NAV take the North Iowa Times.
