 Our fair correspondent has told. in her chauling way, some of the thoughts we desired to express, and for which she will please accept. our sincerest thanks. We desire to call attention to the fact once more that with this uumLer the first year of the NEwTOwN BEE closes. We have every reason to feel thankful for the kind words and actual aid eX- tended to us since we came to this town, and the success of the BEE is what the people of this town aud the patrons of it in other places have done, and is not wholly our own endeavors, That our aim has always been to do what was pleasing and acceptable to an intelligent public is evidenced not only by the paper itself but also by our earnest efforts to right any wrong that may have been done to any one through it's col umns We started out with thGintentio1 of publishing a strictly neutral paper in everything pertaining to politics and religion. In matters concerning the peace of this town and the maintenance of law. and order. we are wholly onS- tain regardless of any and all personal consequences. We are for a respectful obedience to the laws of the State, and for the protection of person and proper ty: We do not assume any new virtue in this particular; we were such when we came here, and hope, by the mercies of provident God, to remain the same wherever our lot may be cast. In entering our new year we have the satisfaction of knowing that our efforts are appreciated, and that for the coming year we shall enjoy the patronage of all our old friends and add many new ones. To those who said year ago. "When we see the BEE established and printed in this town, and the success of it assured, we will subscribe" we will say that all thess.conditiens have been met. and naught remains but to subscribe aud adre,tise, and make glad the editors new year. -. We have printed extra copies of this number, and if you want to subscribe or send copy to friend, you can procure them at the post-offlce here or in Sandy Hook
