PROSPECTUS FOR 1864.
NOW IS THE TIME TO SUBSCRIBE

oUK TERMS.
There is great deal of talk among our CO.
temporaries about the 'great rise in the price
of paper" and the necessity for corresponding
rise in the price Of newspapers. We do not
agree with our friends as to the last proposition
1t is true that paper has gone up frightfully-
fifty per cent. at least, and is "stlI on its way
up But what of thatl Publishers have for
years had good time with low priced paper,
and made large profits; and now that times ha e
changed they should pay the enhanced price for
paper without whining, and without attempting
to get it back nut OF their subscribers. The in.
crease in the price of paper will make differ
ence Of tens Of thousands of dollars to us wear.
"; but We shall NOT increase the price of the
LEDGER. That will remain as is. We can af-
ford it. The retail price will continue to be four
cents; and our club terms will remain as they
always have been. Onr subscribers have stuck
to us when paper was cheap; and we do not in
tend to increase our rates to them now when IL
is dear. ''It is poor rule that won work both
ways"
All our old contributors have been re. aped
for the ensuing year; our corps will be go large,
and will embrace such variety of eminent
talent, that every department of literature will
receive the particular attention Of some one
competent to do il ample and special Justice.
In fact, our contributors will send us from week
to week much more matter than We can possi-
bly, use, so that we shall always have fresh and
superabundant supply from which to select THE
VERY BEST.
The LEDGER's great success is owing to the
fact that We spare no expense in getting up the
BEST FAMILY PAPER--a paper of high moral tone.
The exalted reputation Of its contributors, the
practical and invariably pure and healthy char
acter of all its articles, the care which is taken
that not even one offensive word shall appear in
its columns, and the superiority of its Tales and
Sketches, have gained for the NEw YoRK LED.
GER position that no literary paper has ever
before reached.
The following are the names Of some of our
leading contributors for the new year--Ie64.
What other paper ever presented such an array
of distinguished and popular names: en- 80

PROSPEROUS
OF THE
KANSAS EDUCATIONAL JOURNAL,

At the organization of the "Kansas State
Teachers Association which took rlace in
Leayenworth City the lst of October 1863, the
necessity of the aid of the Press in forwarding
the interests of Education in our new State
was deeply and fully discussed. 1t was finally
resolved, that the Executive Committee should
wait on the publishers of the "kansas Farmer
and do The best they could to secure an EJuca-
honal APARTMENT in that paper. The Commit
tee, In conference with the publishers, found
that in acknowledgement no such department could
be obtained in that paper as would meet the
Imperative demands of Education in this State.
The Comittee then waited on the different pub
fishing houses in Leavenworth CITY. and learned
tina. monthly periodical, of thirty two octave
pages, would pay expenses at fifty cents vol
ume, provided il could secure five hundred sinh
scribeTs, PAYABLE IN ADVANCE.
This will make neat volume of three hun
dred and eighty pages, and ought to be in the
hands of every County Superintendent, Teach
ers an friends of Education in the State. No
Teacher or School Director should be without
it. We hope all the County Superintendents
and Teachers especially, will interest them
selves to secure and send us subscribers rs
soon as practicable. The First Number will
be issued on the LIST of January, 1864.
The journal will be edited by the Execu-
1--WE committee, Tree OF charge, until the next
Annual Meeting of the Association.

The publishers Of the SCIENTIFIC AME
RICAN respectfully give notice that the
TENTH VOLUME New Series viii commence
on the first of January next. This journal was
established in 1915, and is undoubtedly the
most widely circulated and influential publica-
ton of the kind in the world. In commencing
the new volume, the publishers. desire to call
special attention to its claims as u
A JOURNAL OF POPULAR SCIENCE.
In this respect il stands unrivalled. 1t not
only finds its way to almost every workshop in
the country, as the earnest friend of the me-
chalic and artizan. but it is found in the coun-
ting room of the manufacturer and the mer-
chant; also in the library and the household.
The publishers feel warranted in saying that
no other journal now published contains an
equal amount of useful information; while 1t
is their aim to present all subjects in the most
popular and attractive manner.
The Scientific American is published once a
week, in convenient form for bindings; and each
number contains sixteen pages of useful read
ing matter, illustrated with r.ai-
NUMEROUS SPLENDID ENGRAvINGS
OF all the latest and best inventions Of the day
This feature Of the journal is worthy Of special
note. Every number contains from five to ten
original engravings Of mechanical inventions
relating to every department of the arts. These
sngravings are executed by artists specially
employed on the paper, and are universally &C
knowledged to be superior to anything of the
kind produced in this country
! The publishers of the Scientific American
promise to present. as during preceding years
all the latest improvements in Steam Engin
eering, War Vessels. Ordnance-military and
navsl-Fire-arms, Mechanics Tools, Manu-
featuring Machinery, Farm Implements, Wood
working Machinery, Water wheels, Pumps anG
other Hydraulic Apparatus, Household Uten
sils, Electric, Chemical and Mathematical In
! s.ruments, Flying Machines, and other Curious
t lnventions-besides all the varied articles de
signed to tighten the labor of mankind, no
| only in the shop and warehouse, but In ever,
place where the industries of life are pursued
! From its commencement, the Scientific
American has been the earnest advocate of the
rights of American Inventors, and the
REPERTORY OF AMERICAN PATENTS
In this important department, so vitality con
nected with all the great interests Of the coun
try, no other journal can lay any claim whatev
I er; as in its columns there is published week
/ ly Official List of the "Claims" of all patent
granted at the U. S..Patent Office.
