the immense number Of our

always feel a particular pride
in the weeklles in our own
State. While many we'll edit.
ed. handsome weeklles are re

Jew perhaps larger and more
pretentious than any of ours,
yet upon the whole in point of
ability, variety, enterprise, me
chanical appearance, and every
thing which goes to make up
the hrst class country weekly,
Ohio is in our opinion far
ahead Of any other State. This
speaks weliior the general DIS
tribution OF intelligence and

shows that newspaper infu
ence is not con fined in Ohio to
the large journals of its larger
cities simply, as IN many other
States, and that the rural press
has a voice Of its own aside
