 Changed To Thursday Morning.-We have for long period of time in the past found 1t Inecessary to print and send out TIE NEWS at an earlier hour than Friday morning, in order that the paper should reach large proportion of it's readers be- fore Sunday, and therefore we have con- cluded to change the day of the week in the date it will bear, from Friday morning to Thursday morning, and have thought best to begin the new year with the new order of things. The NEWS will hereafter be dated Thursday morning. Our cores pondents and advertisers will please bear in mind, their communications received as late as Wednesday will be almost always too late for insertion that week. Meyer send later than Tuesday, and those who can do so. we should be very glad to have send in their favors on Monday, for if all wait till | Tuesday, it sometimes throws upon us too much work for one day. We repeat. 1 Never send later than Tuesday, and if you can, send Monday.

 it is.
