THE SU N :.
WEEKLY, SFMI-W WEEKLY, AND DAILY

TIE WEEKLY Sun is too widely known
to require an extended recommendation: but
the reasons which have already given il fifty
thousand subscribers, and which will, we
hope, give it many thousands more, are
as follows:
II is iirst-ratencwspaper All the news
OF the day will be found i'm it, condensed
when unimportant, at full length when OF
moment, and always presented in Il clear,
ineligible, and interesting manner.
1t Is rst-rate family paper, full Of en-
tertanIng and instructive reading of every
kind, but containing nothing that can offend
the most delicate and scrupulous taste.
1t is iirst-ratc story paper. The best
tales and rOmances of current literature arc
carefully selected and lcgibly printed in its
pages.
1t is frst-ratc agricultural paper. The
most fresh and instructive articles on agri-
CULTURAL topics regularly appear in this
department.
1t is an Independent political paper, be.
longing to no party and wearing no collar.
1t fights for principle, and for the election of
the best men to office. II especially dcvotes
its energies to the exposure of the great
cOrruptions that now weaken and disgrace
our country, and threaten to undermine
republican institutions altogether. 1t has
no fear of knavcs, and asks no fayors from
their supporters.
II reports the fashions for the ladies' and
the markets for the men, especially the cattle
markets, to which it pays particular atten-
ton.
Finally, it is the cheapest paper published.
One dollar year will secure it for any sub
scribcr. II is not necessary to get up Il club
in order to have THE WEEKLY Sun at
this rate. Any one who sends single
dollar will get the paper for a year.
TEE WEEKLY SUN.-Eiaht pages,
