The 1li- Weekly ApYcnl,-Many

The 1Ii- Weekly .Appcul.-Many
of our contemporaries have, within the
last few months, been compelled to
suspend publication. ON account Of
the greatsimpossibjlity Of obtaining
paper to print their articles upon.
Many of them have had the support
of a wide aud liberal circulation, but
the patronage that i'll other circum-
stances would have brought prosperi-s
ty, only had the effect Of increasing
their difficulties, and the more surely
rcndered suspension necessary. 10
escape such contingency in their
own case, the proprietors of tho Ap-
peal have been, and are compelled to
make cNertions OF no ordinary char
acter, and personally to travel over
hundreds of miles to obtain a supply
of the material upon which that journ-
al is printed. But what is more than
this, they are obliged to pay very
much higher price than was formerly
charged. This change in price to
them, compels a rise i'll price to their
tri-weekly readers. That edition of
the Appeal costs for the blank paper
alone, all that is now charged for :he
printed sheet; from this date we shall
be compelled to raise the terms OF
subscription, and the price of the tri-
weekly Appeal will, for the future,
he six dollars Il year.
The above, taken from that valua-
bic paper, contains volumes Of truths,
| of which it appears very difficult To
convince the readers of newspapers
aud The paper that now has Il small
circulation is infinitely better off than
one which counts it's subscribers by
thousands instead of hundreds. We
publish this notice for the benefit OF
such as may wish to subscribe to the
Appeal, or renew their subscriptions.
