The entertainment given by the
ladies' of the Congregational Socie-

evening, March 18th was decidedly
pheasant and profitable affair. The

a little smack at the last of the first

The approach of the Presidential election
| gives unusual IMPORTANCE to the events and
DEVELOPMENTS of 1875. We shall endeavor to
describe them fully. faithfully and fearlessly,
THE WEEKLY sun has now attained a
| circulation of over seventy thousand copies.
Its readers are found in every State and Ter

public. We shall not only endeavor to keep
| it fully up to the old standard, but to improve
| and add to its variety and power.
THE WEEKLY SUN will continue to be a
| tborough newspaper. All the news of the
day will be found in it, condensed when I'M

the best family newspaper in the world. 1t
| will be full of entertaining and approprlat
reading ofevary sort but will print nothing

and for the election of the best men. 1t ex
poses the corrup ton that disgraces the coln-
| try and threatens the overthrow of republican
institutions. 1t has no fear of knaves, and
seeks no favors from their supporters.
The markets of every kind and the fashions
are regularly reported.
| The d rice of the WEEKLY SUN is one
dollar year for sheet of eight pages, and

penses of paper and printing, we are not able
| to make special efforts to extend its circula-
ton. Under the new law, which requiees
! payment of postage in advance, one dollar q
| year, with twenty cents the cost of prepaid
postage added is the rate of subscriptions. 1t
| is not necessary to get up a club i'll order to
to have the WEEKLY SUN at this rate. Any
one who sends one dollar and twenty cents
will get the paper. postpaid for year.
