New Advertnsenlents.

Broke Doaon. working off the papers for this week, and when about one third of the edition was printed, a vital part of our press gave out, and 1t W as not possible to repair it and get off the balance of the papers sooner than our readers will now get them. We expect soon to have another large press, so that if one fails us we will have another, and in case of acci- dent, no noticeable delay in the regular issue of the NEWS is expected will occur.
