TIL E SU N.
DAILY AND WEEKLY FOR 1876

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 attain
ed circulation of over seventy thous-
and copies. It's readers are found in
every state and Territory, and its
quality is well known to the 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 thorough newspaper. All the
news of the day will be found in it,
condensed when unimportant, at full
length when or moment, and always,
we trust, treated In clear, interesting
and instructive manner. 1t is our
aim to make the WEEKLY Sun the
best family newspaper in the world.
1t will be full af entertaining and APP
propriate reading of every sort, but
will print nothing that will offend the
most scrupulous and delicate taste.
1t will always contain the most inter
esting stories and romances of the
day, carefully selected and legibly
printed.
The agricultural department is q
prominent feature in the WEEKLY
SUN, and it's articles will always be
found fresh and useful To the farmer.
The number Of men independent in
politics is rapidly increasing, and the
WEEKLY SUN is their paper espec-
tally. 1t belongs to no party, and
oheys no dictation, contending for
principle, and for the election of the
best men. IL exposes the corruption
that disgraces the country and threat
ems the overthrow of republican in
stitutions. 1t has no fear of knaves,
and seeks no favor from their sup
rorters.
The markets of every kind and the
fashions are regularly reported in its
columns.
The price ofthe WEEKLY Sun is one
dollar year for a sheet Of eight pages
and fifty-six columns. AS this barely
pays the expenses Of paper and print
ing, we are not able to make any dis
count or allow any premium to friends
who may make special efforts to ex-
tend its circulation. Under the new
law which requires payment Of post
age in advance, one dollar year, with
twenty cents, the cost of prepaid
postage added, Is the rate Of subscrip-
ton. 1t is not necessary to get up a
club in order to have the WEEKLY
SUN at this rate. Anyone who sends
one dollar and twenty cents will get
the paper, postpaid, for a year.
We have no travelling agents.

Arsenic and Hogs.

The SACRAMENTO, CAL, Onion gives
an account of the feeding OF arsenic
20 hogs, prefacing reinstatement with
the partially accepted belief that
hogs are inocuous to the effects Of
the poison of rattlesnakes. The case
in point relating to feeding arsenic
will perhaps prevent those who be-
sieve that arsenic will not kill hogs
from using it. The statement is
that a ranchman named Burke, re-
siding on the Freeport road, few
miles below Sacramento. who was
the owner Of eight or nine hogs, in
Guiding two that would weigh 800 or
100 mounds each, found that one Of
the latter was ailing, and was advis-
ed to give it a dose of arsenic. He
came the city, purchased four bits
worth Of the poison, and, on return
ing home, gave the animal a large
dose-a dose so large that the porcine
could not keep it down. Another
dose was administered In trough
full of food, and after the sick hog
had been satisfied the trough was
placed in the next pen where the
other animals were.
Our contemporary remarks that,
singular as it may appear to some,
the effect Of the arsenic was to kill
every hog the man had, but the sick
one died last, which may show per-
haps. that the sick hog was too near
its end to be affected with the ar
seine, and SO died from disease, i'm
spite of it.

The Secretary of Treasury says the
estimate of the mint shows gain in
specie and bullion in the last two
fiscal years, of $50, 900, 600, and the
stock of specie in the country to be
about s166,O00,0OO. This with the
annual product Of our mines, $780,
Oeo, Oo0. affords hope that in reasona-
BILE time, by proper legislation, suf-
ficient coin may be accumulated to
enable us to resume specie payments.
But that time is not yet at hand, and
the better plan is to wait until we
have sufficient coin on hand, and
then resume, instead of setting day
to resume, no matter whether we
have the specie on hand or not.-Ln-

AS q Council Bluffs woman was
doing her washing, one Of her chill
dren fell into kettle Of water. The
mother siezed the infant, whose heart
rending cries indicated the terrible
nature of its injuries and deposited
iton Il bed, while she ran to neigh
boris to get him to run for the Doc
tor. Before the doctor arrived all
the neigh bors had gathered and
among them had undressed the
screaming child-very carefully, so
that the scalded skin should not peel
off-and sprinkled it with flour. AT
length the Doctor arrived, reaching
the door at the same moment with
the terror stricken husband whom
also the messenger had found and
hidden to ego home and prepare for
the saddest news" The doctor
made careful examination of the
infant, and promptly advised the
mother to put shirt or something
on the child, so it might not freeze
to death. The assembled neighbors
one after another felt of the water in
the kettle, found it ice cold, and quiz
city departed.
