$4,000


The AMERICAN ATISTS' UN.
ION would add that these premiums
are to be considered only in the light
of free gift to their patrons, as the
EngravinGs are furnished them 6eloao
their market value, and as the cost of
engravings, after the plates are procur,
ed, is very trifing, they can easily afford
to make the distribution as large as it is.
We trust that our numerous friends
throughout the country and Canadas
will use their utmost exertions, so that
if possible, the distribution may bo
made soon, and it can be done if they
are at all active. Ladies have often
made excellent Club Agents, for us.
and we solicit their kind efforts, which
will not 90 unrewardeG' Let one or
more energetic persons in every town or
village in the country commence as soon
as they see this, and get up as large
Club as possible. BY so doing they
will be the means OF introducing ele-
giant engravings into families, and thus
aid in cultivating a taste for the beauti-
full and refined. Address Orders

THE History OF Elk COUNTY
With the present number closes this in
teresting little work. Numerous inqui-
ries have been made to know if it would
pay us to put into book form. We
have gave the subject some thought and
have arrived at the conclusion that it
won't pay, unless we should charge
pretty high price per copy; and unless
we could dispose:ol at least 500 copies, it
would not pay then. We, however, are
willing 70 make the effort, provided we
get proper encouragement from some of
our leading citizens, Beside what the
author has written, we would add to it
map of Elk county, list of unsoated
lands, with names of owner and warran.
tee, business directory OF the county,
&c, with other valuable information
which would be useful to everybody.
