patronage and support necessary to put il

The Directors have therefore resolved t
call upon every English-speaking Catholi

and by the Rev. Clergy Of the Diocese.
/ We have1ong wished to have first clas

gether. The individual contributions want
ed will be small, but when united will, No
doubt, be amply sufficient, 1t is the union
of small rivusets that forms the swollen, the
resistless torrent. Every person wishing
to contribute to the support of the paper
+ can do SO in three ways:
Firstly becoming a stockhoIder in the
Company. The stock is only twenty dol

able would take but one share, we would
very soon have, not only an unsurpassed

The second way to support tue paper and
derive the greatest benefit from its publ

four dollars year, or a little over one cent

be one to make up the number?
The next way to patronize the paper aud

merchant, professional and business man, ,
