superior and few equals among the daily
Journals of this Commonwealth. 1t Is con-
Quoted with a spirit and energy under the

our great State, and no man who wishes to
keep himself posted on the doings of the
Legislature the coming winter, as we'll as on
the current news and leading topics of the
day, should do without the Daily Patriot. or

for the weekly. Address B. f. Meyers &
Co., Harrisburg, Pa.
