rake 1t TO Your Home.

1t is so much the fashion nowadays to
convey information, and moral truths and
sentiments in the form of stories, that even
some popular lecturers have adopted this
style of address. The mass of people, es-
pecially the young, demand stories to such
degree, that papers filled with sensational
novels and exciting trashy stuff, have a
wide-circulation. To forestall this taste,
and supply something better to the masses,
the publishers of HEARTH AND HOME, in ad-
dition to the usual variety of that paper,
have engaged a corps of first-class writers,
among whom are Jean Ingelow, Edward
Eggleston, Mary E. Dodge, Louisa NJ. Al
colt, Edward Everett Hale, Elizabeth Stew
art Phelps, Harriet Prescott Spofford, Rose
| Terry, Maria Il, Oakley, Lucia G. Runkle,
and many others, who furnish to this Jour
nal the best original stories. of the purest
character and highest grade-thus convey
ing much instruction in a pleasing FORM
Besides these, the weekly Hearth and
Home contains large amount Of first-class
reading, editorials, literature, art, science
amusement; instruction for the housekeep
er, the gardener, the farmer; a capital dc
partment for Children and Youth; the news
of the day; financial and market reports

The Railroad.

Whoever will take the map of our State
and examine the route of the proposed R.
R. between this place and Xenia, will at
once see the great importance of construct
ing this road at as early a day as practica-
ble 1t is link between the East and the
great West, and is but 80 miles in length,
and two-thirds of the grading of the road is
already done. Complete this link, and we
have direct line or outlet to the West
through Dayton, Indianapolis, &C.. and the
Dayton folks have almost an air line road
to the Perry county and Hooking Valley
coal mines. These are some of the advan-
tages which the completion of this link of
80 miles of Railroad, completing the great
chain of Eastern and Western communica-
ton, will afford the county. 1t is truly
an object worthy of accomplishing and the
object should be pushed forward to COM
pletion at the earliest period. 1t passes
through and opens to the best agricultural
section of OHIO, and considering the impor.
lance of the route, the wonder is that it has
not been completed long ago. Our friends

and at jamestown, Greene Co., as well al
of this place, Xenia and Dayton, shOulc
never abandon the effort until the object i

The CINCINNATI CommercIa1 For 1sz2.

1t is our purpose that the reputation
which this journal has as a newspaper
shall not suffer detriment this year; and it
is our ambition that its character for indie
pendence, intelligence and impartiality in
the discussion of all questions of public
interest, shall have constant illustration
and increase
The year will be one of fextraordinary de-
mands upon the daily press. 1t is the year
of the Presidential election. of the long
session of Congress, and of the Constitu-
tional Convention in Ohio; and the daily
newspaper will be in an unusual degree
important for the information of the people.
We propose that this journal shall CON
tain all the news, irrespective of its influ-
ence upon politicians and their organiza-
tions, the rule and object beng the publ
cation of facts that may be useful about
public men and measures, that the people,
knowing the truth, may be true to them
selves.
No expense or exertion will be spared
to make the record in the columns of the
Commercial complete as a history of the
year. Abroad, we have the best CORE
spondents who can be engaged in London
or Paris. At home, our Special Core
spondents located in New York and Wash
ington, at the State Capitals that most con-
Germ US, and travelling in the South, and
present at all points where their services
are thought available have celebrity as
news-g gatherers and fame as racy writers.
We are not in receipt of any official fa-
vors or patronage whatever. Our depend
ence is exclusively on the good will and
legitimate business custom of the people.
We have neither part nor lot in the scram-
bles for office or the schemes for the ap-
preparation of the spoils, but hold our
selves absolutely clear of selfish interest
in public affairs.
Upon this impregnable footing we pro-
pose to maintain ourselves, and hope, with
diligence, fair play and fit enterprise, to
enlarge the circulation, and better the influ-
ence, and augment the proftabIeness to
ourselves as well as to others of the Gin
cinnati Commercial in 1872
