THE HERALD FOR isos.

The publishers OF the HWALD encour.
aged by the liberal patronage awarded
them in the past, and approaching the
importance which Rutland is fast assup-
ing among her sister towns In the State,
feel inspired to renewed exertions on
their part 70 meet the wants of an en-
lghtened and generous public by doing
81 within their power to make the HER
AID first class paper.
In accordance with these views they
have made arrangements to materially
improve the mechanical appearance OF
the papers, and would announce that on
the first day Of January the Daily will
be presented on new type and enlarged
by an addition OF matter equivalent to
over one-fourth It's present size. The
Weekly will also be enlarged in the same
proportion. The new dress and enlarge
ment will make the mechanical appear
snce all that could be desired, and place
the paper in 3 favorable position for
comparison with our city cotemporarles.
The editorial department will be in
the hands of an able corps Of editors,
who will spare no pains to oil Its COL
umns with fresh and interesting matter.
The latest current news Of the day will
be given, and especial attention paid to
the publication Of local, town, county
and State items of interest. Arrange.
ments have been made at great expense
for the latest telegraphic news, and this
feature of the HERALD will give It's
readers the same dispatches that sppear
in the Boston and New York dailies, and
place them in possession Of the latest
intelligence from all sections. Reports
Of the proceedings of all the religious,
historical, literary and agricultural socie'
ties, and other public meetings and gath
erings, will be made special depart
ment. A series Of biographical sketches
Of the eminent men Of Vermont, and
historical sketches Of towns and events,
written by some Of the most competent
gentlemen in the State, will be pub
lished. A series of letters from Europe
also from the Western and Southern
States, will appear weekly, thus making
the Daily and Weekly HERALD the fresh
est and best newspaper in Vermont.
1t will be our earnest effort to give
the paper high tone, and present sub
jects that will commend themselves to
the taste and judgment OF its patrons
The position we occupy in one OF the
most prosperous towns of the State
gives us an opportunity to make the HER
AID a leading and influential journal
which will be constantly improved, b.
all the efforts that lay in our power t
meet the progressive tendencies anC
spirit which are daily making demand
upon our energies to promptly perform
the duty due to the reading public.
Our prospects for the coming yea
could hardly be more fatterlng and sat
isfactory than at present, giving us con
fidence, that in making arrangement
for enlarging and re.modeling the HEB
AID, we shall be literally sustaine
in largely increased subscription lis
and in return be able to give our patron
the most readable and attractive shet
in Vermont. Now is the time for thos
whose subscriptions are about expirin
TO renew for 1868. Each one OF OF
present subscribers, with little ef'or
can send US another in their neighbo
hood. We would present our thanks
those individuals in the county and Sta
who have furnished US items and con
munications during the past year, al
ask continuance of their favors,
