The Opini on News Depot
has been largely patronized since ii
was commenced a few months ago.
Its patrons appreciate the advan
tages it offers for procuring maya.
zines, newspapers, pictures, sheet
music, &C., without the trouble OF
writing to the publishers, and the
risk Of sending money by mail, or
the expense of post Office orders or
express charges. Many persons
who cannot really spare % or a. at
a time for reading matter, can pay
6 or s cents a week without incon-
vcnience. Another advantage of
the News Agency plan is. if a per-
son is not satisfied with the paper or
magazine he is taking he can
change it for some other, or discon-
tinue it altogether. This is far pre-.
ferable to the old style Of yearly
subscriptions, when the subscriber
is obliged to take the paper q whole
year or lose the money paid in ad-
vance. We furnish books, periodi.
icals, music, pictures, &C., at pub
hshe,'s' prices.

nv. Editor-I see you are criticiz-
ed about some remarks made in the
OPINION respecting some persons
who attended some of your meetings
OF Bradford the past season and
without stopping now to inquire
whether it was your duty to notice
such things in q paper it is we'll to
warn those who attend meetings
that good manners will be expected
by all who attend, instead of going
to make a little twn for the low and
vicious who seek nothing better than
fun and folly. 1t is to be hoped
that most all who get up such meet
ings do it for public improvement, in
morals, manners or knowledge and
not to make fun for fools or fools for
fun. 1t seems to me it may be we'll
to inquire whether persons attend
ing meetings Of any kind had not
better stay at home and study self
respect, manhood and good manners
till they can resoLve they will do
nothing mean; or if they 60, go
for Improvement. There is and al.
ways will be great difference be-
tween persons who scorn to do a
mean thing and one who is kept
from it by fear of exposure or of
He'll. The young man that tries to
make him self q man will do it, and
he that tries to make hlmselfa mon.
key will succeed, but there will he
but little fun in it for him in the
end. The tone of Bradford morals
never was 80 high as to be the envy
OF other towns and now if the Brad
ford OPINION is to have it's mouth
stopped for exposing rowdies 1 fear
it never will, 50 l say, 60 Oh Mr..
Editor rebuking sin in every form
and give us healthy moral atluos-
phere all around. G.
