HARPER'S WEEKLY

The best publication ofits elassin America,

Its columns contain the finest collections of

Its illustrations are numerous and beauti-
full, being furnished by the best artists in the
country.-B0stOa Traveller.
Harper's Weekly deserves its primacy in
this class OF. publication, alike for the value
of its matter as the excellence of its illustra-
tions. The spirited and telling pictorial sat
Tres of Mast are a power in society, and are
dictated in aid of a sound public opinion, and

No more delightful travels are printed in

equal interest and satisfaction by boys of
every age, from eighteen to eighty
Its scientific papers, willie sufficiently pro

lar understanding and Designed as much to
diffuse correct information concerning cur
rent scientific discovery as it could be ii it
was the organ of the ''Society fog the Diffu-
sion OF Useful knowledge" Ne .asE
The great design of Harper's is ia give cor
rect information and rational amusement to
the great masses of people. There are few
intelligent American families In whicN HAIR
per's Magazine would not be an appreciated
and highly welcome guest.
There is no monthly magazine that an, in
telligent reading family can less afford to Ne
without. Many magazines are ACCUMULATED.
Harper's is edited. There is not a cheaper

While fully maintaining its position as a mir

spared no labor or expense necessary toalake

The plank walk on Cabahanoosse
has been completed and is great
public convenience. 1t is matter of
some regret that the finances of the
town are at such a low ebb as to pre-
vent making the walk as wide as at
first intended by the addition of an
other plank. But let us not complain,
for the present walk is far, far superior
to no walk at all.
