N. Y. san This weather is all very
well now but how about the price Of ice
next summer? After all, it is better that
the well-to-do should pay little more for
their ice, few months hence, than that the
poor should shiver for want Of the coal they
are unable to buy.

cess of the leading literary paper ofthe West.
The Chicago Ledger, is truly remarkable.
Since its introduction to the reading public,
six years ago, The Ledger has steadily ad-
vanced in favor, and is now acknowledged
second to no paper of the kind in the coun-
try. Its circulation is national, and has
been obtained through the efforts Of its pub
fishers to produce paper of high moral
character, and at the same time sell it at a
price consistent with the present hard times.
That they have succeeded, and well, too, the
thousands of readers of The Ledger scattered
from Maine to Texas and from Oregon to
Florida will bear testimony. The Chicago
Ledger is large forty-eight column weekly
paper, which contains stories both complete
and continued, in each number, written by
the best authors of the day, and great
variety of information interesting to every
one. The subscription price of The Ledger
is only $3.50 per year, postage paid, and il
is equal in every particular to other paper;
of the same character which sell for s. Q
year. Three copies of this valuable paper
will be sent to any one who sends 10 cent;
and their address to The Ledger, Chicago
Illinois.
