take newspaper or two, they would be
better informed as to what was going on
outside the immediate neigh hborhood, and
in many instances save themselves from
the numerous little swindling games prac-
ticed upon them by sharpers travelling over
the country peddling patent plow points,
hay forks, &c. Nine out of every ten who
get caught up by investing in worthless
speculations do not take a newspaper
Their excuse generally is, "that they can
not afford it," Yet the first fraud who

will find out, sooner or later, that you are

How to Make Newspapers.

There are great many readers who are
quite sure that the editors don't know how
to do it. If these sagacious and critical
readeres could only do the editing, how
many blunders and libel suits would be
avoided, how many able articles would be
written. what tone the paper would have,
many shining hatchets would be ground!
The newspaper which these critscal readers
are like old bachelors children-the best

A Whife-and-Tan "Scrimase. .,

Last Saturday night there was "little
misunderstanding" between Joe Kelly and
the younger of the Tonsorial artists whose
place of business is on the North East cor
ner of the square. Joe was considerably
agitated over the news from Washington,
and was determined to have "eieher Tilden
or scalps" 1t happened while Joe was
delivering his Grafton that the Tonsoralist
interrupted him; wherenpon Joe called
him an "Ourangotang." This insulted the
dignity of the Tonsoralist, and he let fly
with his right and planted "sockdolager"
on Joe's left "peeper." Joe struck out from
the shoulder with his left, but missing his
antagonist. The bystanders then interfered
and prevented which bid fair to be the
bloodiest encounter of the age.

The different editions of THE SUN during the
next year will be the same as during the year

week days be sheet of four pages, and on sun
days sheet of eight pages, or Sc broad columns;
while the weekly edition will be sheet OF eight
pages of the same dimensions and character that
are already familiar to our friends.
e. THE SUN will continue to be the strenuou
advocate of reform and retrenchment, and of the
substitution of craftsmanship, wisdom, and IN
tegrity for hollow pretence, imbectllty, and
fraud in the administration of public affairs 1t
will contend for the government OF the people
by the people and for the people, as opposed to
government by frauds in the ballot-6ox and IN
the counting OF votes, enforced by military vio-
lence. 1t will endeavor to supply It's readers
a body not for from million OF souls-with the
most careful, complete and trusSwortny &C
counts of current events, and will employ Tor
this purpose numerous and caretnlly selected
staff of reporters and correspondents Its re-
ports from Washington, especially, Will be full,
accurate, and fearless; and it will doubtless con-
tinue to deserve and enjoy the hatred OF those
who thrive by plundering the Treasury or by
usurping what the law does not give them, while
it will endeavor to merit the confidence OF the
public by defending the rights OF the people
against the eneroachments of uni justified power.
The price OF the daily Sun will be So cents s a
month $3.50 year, post paid, or with the
Sunday edition S7.70 year.
The SUNDAY edition alone, eight pages, S1.2O
year, post paid.
The WEEKLY sun, eight pages of Sc broad
columns, will be. furnished during 1877 at the
rate of 81 q year, post paid.
The benefit of this large reduction from the
previous rate for THE WEEKLY can be enjoyed
by individual subscribers without the necessity
of making up clubs. At the same time, II any
of our friends choose to aid in extending our
circulation, we shall be grateful to them, aid
every such person who sends us ten or more
subscribers from one place will be entitled to
one copy of the paper for himself without
charge At one dollar a year, postage paid, the
expenses of paper and printing are barely re-
paid; and, considering the size of the sheet and

people will consider THE WEEKLY SUN the
cheapest newspaper published in the world, and
we trust also one of the very best.
