PROSPECTUS FOR 1877.
The Sentinel.

Every reading and thinking man in the state
who can afford to take a newspaper ought TO
subscribe for al least one of the editions OF the
Sentinel FARMERS, MERCHANTS AND Law
YERs, without respect to party, particularly
stand in need Off, for, in addition TO its poiti-
cal and literary merits, the Sentinel is con-
fessedly the
Commercial Paper Of Indiana.

Market Reports are fuller and more accurately
compiled, and its monetary and general busi-
ness articles ADLER and more thoroughly
treated than those of any paper in the central
west.

can but commend it to the legal fra
ternity throughout the state, for they embrace
a most careful digest of the pertinent points
of every decision rendered in our Supreme
Court. The public is familiar with the

strengthening and inspiring ALTO these the
Sentinel shall in the future as in the past, hope
fully and persistently point as the props of
constitutional Hberty-the PILLARS OF RE-
PUBLICAN INSTITUTIONS. The Sentinel, how
ever, does not propose to conine itself TO ex-
