Reneaoed Subscriptions. subscribers are renewing their subscriptions to the NEWS for another year, with an alacrity that is indeed encouraging to us, and IS an assurance that they approve of our efforts in making home newspaper, and that they intend we shall continue to live if 8 liberal patronage will do it. There are quite a number who have sent the NEWS to friends in distant parts of the country, and if they choose to continue those subscriptions for a longer time, we shall feel obliged to them if they will inform us to that effect at their earliest convenience. Remember that aaeet soeeE, July 9th, will be the date of the fifty second paper. or the end of the first years subscription, although the last paper will be numbered fifty one, which is owing to the fact of our Holiday Supplement, which we issued Holiday week, not being num- bered. We thank our patrons for these tokens of their approval, and can only say that if experience and our best efforts will make the NEWS for the coming year bet ter paper than it has been the past, they will find it will constantly increase in in- terest and value.
