speaks for itself:
Dnr Sir Yours OF the 10Th 10 receiv-
ed. in regard To the division OF this cir
cult, | expressed myself very decidedly
at the October term Of court, to the men,
bers of the bar generally, and recon-
mendei that action should he hal 10 Sc
cure the erection Of the four shore couu-
ties into new circuit during the ensu-
ing session of the Legislature. The cir
cult, AZ at present constituted, Is too
large, and / could not continue TO per-
form the duties il requires. Bay county
has more business for the circuit Judge
10 perform than several of the circuits in
the state, and with the counties Of Oge-
nav snd Otsego, will he a circuit quite
large enough, while il will be u great
public convenience to have \ Judge re-
siding at klpens. | hope prompt aud
energetic measures will he taken, both
here aud in the shore counties, to this
end. | have stated to the bar here, that
unless this is done, | cannot continue on
the bench.

1776. NEW YORK. 1876.

Eighteen hundred and seventy-si,
is the Centennial year. 1t is alst
the year in which an Opposition
House of Representatives, the frs
since the war, will he in session Al
Washington and the year of the
twenty third election of President
of the United States. All of These
events are sure to be of great inter
est and Importance, especially the
two latter; and all of them and
everything connected with them
will be fully and freely reported
and expOunled III The Sun.
The Opposition House of Repre-
sentatives, taking up the line OF
inquiry opened years ago by T :
Sun. will stelniy and diligently i'll
vestigate the eOrruptious and mis-.
this The Sun will contain com plett
and accurate accounts, furnishing
its readers witt, early and trust
worthy information upon these alb
sorbing topics.
The twenty-third Presidential
election, with the preparations foI
it, will be memorable as deciding
upon Grants aspirations for a third
term of power and plumber, and
still more as deciding who shall be
the candidate OF the party of Re-
form, and as elect',g that candidate.
Concerning all these subjects, those
who read The Sun will have the
constant means of being thoroughly
informed.
The Weekly Sun, which las at
tanned a circulation of over 0,OO0
copies. already has its readers in
every State and Territory, and we
trust that the year 1876 will see
their numbers doubled. 1t will
continue to be thorough news
paper. All the general news of the
day Will be found in it, condensed
when unimportant, at full length
when OF 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, and we shall continue to
give in its columns Il al sc amount
of miscellaneous reaC'n.s, such as
stories, talas, poems. scieni 'fic intel
iigence, and agricultural int0rma
ton, for which We are not able to
make room in Onr daily edition.
The agricultural department espe-
cially is one of its prominent tea-
lures. The fashions are also regn-
larry reported in its columns, aud
so are the markets of every kind.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages,
with fifty-sIx broad columns. is only
12O a year, postage prepaid. As
this price barely repays the C st OF
paper, no discount can be made
from this rate to clubs, agents, post
masters or any one.
