NO eat,er ourselves the inside of our paper is sui
eo,ont earnest Of what we intend to do for the ben

we are anxious to give them the worth oil lhe'i
money, and that in the very best and brigh'e''
style.
1t is a melancholy fact that the times d" uo'
warrant us in this outlay nor VIII tue present
bu.iness of our off, e warrant it. but still we trust
to the uromptuess and patronage of our iriendst TO
carry ~ through this extra outlay, for the i'm
proveInent oil the appearance of our paper.
Through all the hard times-the double cost OF
paper and every other kind of printing mater al
we have made no change in our terms Of subscnp-
tjou or Job work. We have preferred to work a
little harder, live a little poorer, and content our
selves with a little less profit Heaven save the
mark Drather than place any additional burden
upon our subscribers. We are happy TO say mat
our efforts appear TO be appreciated. New SUD-
scribers mot only from this county, but from va
rious parts of the State are daily coming in, and
all unite in saying no better weekly paper can De
found in the State. 1t isi our determination 10

No pains or expense will be spared in ma"ing

tents and mechanical execution. we are ANXIOUS
to have it go into every family in this county ana
into as. many outefde the county, as possible. As

neatest and latest styles of the art, at the lowest
living rates. Hand bills, Circulars, Blanks OF eV-
ery description, Bank Checks, Bill heads, Cards

not help but please.
Mr. VAN Wyck's Last Leciure.-Tbe last
of the course by Mr.. VAS WICK was de-
livered on Thursday evening OF last week. The
subject, The Buried Cities Pompeii and Her"
culaneum-was full of interest and was treated
in a style to perfectly enchain the attention o. the
audience. any attempt to give even an outline
Of the Lecture would do it injustice. 1t abounded

D. the scenery of Vesuvius and the adjacent coun~
.ry, and those portions of The Buried Cities
have been brought to light, and the relics
therein;aLd interspersed with these were fine
i~istoriclpassages. We venture TO say, that all who
leard it came away with their historic imfOrma-
ION increased in no small degree.
The Hall was filled, aud all were thoroughly
delighted with The Lecture. Every one who ex-
pressed an opinion. regretted that it was the last.
Already, snch d taste has been created for the ra-
ionai and profitable recreation, that our citizens
will miss their regulur weekly lecture az the eve
hing comes around Cannot another course be
tarted? We believe there are many who would
ubscribe literally Tor about -four more Lectures
Previous to tine commencement of the Lecture, the
ludjencewas temporar lily organised by the election
ii Rev. John GrIdley as president, for the purpose
IF bringing up some questions relative to the sup
ply OF cur troops with Vegetables. During this
meeting, a motion of thanks to the speaker Tor his
able, interesting and valuable Lectures, was Of
rered and unanimously and enthusiastically adop.
ted.
We understand that the amount realized from
course Of Lectures, for the soldiers Aid Fund
after paying all expenses, is about one hundred
dollars. When II is remembered that during this
.ame time, we have had Festivals, Concerts and
other plans Of raising means for the same fund.-
from ell oi which more or less has been realized
t will be allowed that our citizens have not been
iur sick end wounded soldiers.
