 At the starting of the paper last Spring there were many who predicted that 1t would not live; but since then they have altered their minds. We have never doubted the success of the paper, because we have had shown us, in many ways, by the citizens of this town and friends scattered abroad, an unusual amount of sympathy and encourage ment. To all of these we return our heartfelt thanks.
 In the establishment of this office, from which the paper is to be issued in the future, we havo been substantially aided by gentlemen of means, who, be- lieving the paper to le success, have generously lent helping hand.
 In view of these facts, and the ill., creased cost of meeting the expenses consequent to the increased size of the paper, we shall have to request of sub- scribers and advertisers, prompt pay. ments for subscriptions and advertise ments. The subscription price will re- main the same-s1.00 per year; sent, free of postage, to any part of the Uni. ted States or Canada. Our friends will please remember this. and give us theil aid and assistance, should our humble efforts to serve them continue to be, as in the past, devoted to the conducting of paper for the interests of the town
 Before concluding, We return oul thanks to all those who have, in any way, assisted us in preparing our office and lessening our labors during the pas week and this. Though your modest, will not permit us to make your namet public through these columns. still W, have them engraved on our heart, ant shall always remember them with grati tude, and ever be ready to return thu kindness when opportunity presents 1t self.

If haddock could be fat cd on onions. we think 1t might inl- poe their flavor, but onions in the stuillng has sickencd us of fish. What we have ever done to our favoritc ped. dlcr, that he should prescribe that dish for u", We can't imagine. And then the head must be left or,- too, in order that the more onion could kc put n! That fish, with the cyc-Sockcts not stuffed
