 A-IagJilar correspondents sending items less ire qu .ntly than month will receive copy of the ffn nIn;rer snbiect to stoppage whenever may sid r their too few or of too little l- poctanee, to warrant its continuance.
 5-To regular and occasional correspondents extra copies Of the paper containing communications Of spe- cial importance, will be sent on request, withcut charge.
 Local items from reliable sources any part of the county will be received with pleasure but are par ,iculary desirous of increasing list of regular weekly and fortnightly correspondents, especially in places like New Milford Kent. Cornwall, Falls Village, Wolcottvile Harwnton and other localities not ade- ouately represented in columns aud we hope also to hear from persons now furnishing only occasional letters.
 Anonymous communications cannot expect publi- cation.
 The names of correspondents will be kept strictly secret, if desired
 Communications of a personal nature will not be published, unless the propriety of such publication IS manifest
 Manuscript should be written only on one side of the paper.
 Regular correspondents avoid all danger of hay ing contributions of others attributed to them by assnming signature, single letter being sum- cient.
 In case of two communications relating to the same event. the fullest will usually be published. Hence communications never come amiss, even from places where regular correspondents since they often give valuable additional information
 simple statement of facts is all that is necessary, and hastily written communications will be corrected before publication.

ACUr AT OUR CUTs.-MR. EDrToR:[I have been a reader of your excellent paper ever since can remember, and always find something to interest me in it. Last week my attention was drawn to an adver- tisement which commenced thus: .'The above cut represents the Hon. Daniel s. Dickenson, &c." Not seeing the ''cut" referred tu. of my friend, thought it had been cut out. but on turning the paper found it had either purposely or acciden- tally omitted for there was no cut there. This week find the '.cat. :" but ''the unkindest cut of all. :" A grinning skeleton with dull scythe is cutting at the legs of Uncle Daniel while he, in great distress, is either trying to escape or to pick up his hat and cane, can't really tell which. This is. as the advertisement goes on to say, 8 solemn and fearful warning. I am moved to tears every time look at it and often when think of it What cut too, for family, to stir up the spirit of en- quiry in children and to cause dreams anything but delightful For goodness sake, if such q cut must have a place in the paper let it come in ahead of the cut of the Death-Cart which is bad enough surely, but this should take the lead.

It seems that the Canal railroad people have not yet finished fighting the Plants vile depot. There is a section in the re- vised statutes which provides that no amendment of the charter of corporation shall be operative unless accepted by the corporation. The question in issue is whether this section applies to "open" charters, like that of the Canal railroad company, in which there is reservation of the right of repeal or amendment, by the legislature.

A queer case occurred in New Haven, last week. A man named Carol had a re- ligious discussion with one Hamilton which ended in row.

Much of that impor- tance was indeed accidental. but the part he played at the opening of the rebellion was one that entities his memory to the re- spest of loyal North, and gave him the second place on the Republican presiden- -tial ticket of 1864 His subsequent career as President made him popular among Southern conservatives and led to his re- cent election to the Senate, after many delays.

THE TRIBUNE FOR 1875.
Cheaper and Better than Ever,
Postage Free 10 subscribers.


TURING the year 1874 the position of The
u TRIBUNE as the "leading American news.
paper" has come to be generally recognized.
Politically it maintains with its old fervor its
old Gospel of Freedom and Equality, but main
tains its independence Of party dictation; and
has rarely in its whole histhry, found its polit-
ical recommendations 80 much needed by both
parties, or SO thoroughly vindicated by the peo-
pie as during the past twelvemonth. Its Bit
terest foes while assailing it as fiercely as of
old on political or other grounds, never now
question its pre- eminence as newspaper. 1t
is confessedly the foremost in the country. 1t
has won the position, and it means to hold it by
the employment of the best ability. by the
most watchful, conscientious attention, and by
the most lavish expenditure of money to pro-
cure whatever money will buy, in its readers
service. Its expenditures in this way, during
the past year were over One Million and Half
of Dollars For the results of this outlay it
asks from each single subscriber to the WEEK
LY, Two Dollars; from each subscriber in a
club Of thirty or more, One Dollar; and it pays
the postage itself Persons not familiar with
| THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE, or former subscribers
who may be uncertain about its present stand
ing and merits, are invited to take it short
time ON trial. Any one may order it between
now and the 1st of February next for one,two,
or three months at the rate of Ten Cents
per Month; and this, postage paid. .iitsi'i i
No extra charge is made for addressing
papers to each member of a club, and postmas-
ters who desire it receive packages with each
paper addressed to it's owner at the lO,cest price
-practically reduction Of thirty cents gear
from the previous lowest club rates.
The postage on all editions of THE TRIBUNE
is paid By the office Without Charge to the
subscriber. THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE thus be.
comes to subscribers in clubs the Cheapest,
as it has long been the best, paper published.
Agents wanted in every town.
