we add, this week, few more Of the
many comments on ting G51isfsF
TRANSCRIPT, indulged in by our ex-
changes:
The Christmas number ofthe MiddletoWn
Transcript was received on Tuesday last
It is an unusually bright and interesting
number, and reflects great credit on Its en-.
ergetic and humorous editor, W. Scot'
Way.-Denton (lId.) Democrat.
The Christmas number Of the Middle,
town Transcript is q gem. 1t IS printed
on good glazed paper, and contains numer-
Gus poems and original stories from some
Of the best and most witty writers IN the
country. Bro. Way is full Of enterprise
and deserves a large measure OF success

The AIiddletown Transcript, an ever
welcome exchange, came to us this week
clad in all the glory Of anew dress for 1881.
1t bears the undeniable evidence of genu-
inc prosperity. The Transcript is an eX-
cellent weekly, and our friend Way de-
serves his success. Long may 1t Way-aYe'

The Middletown Transcript issued the
handsomest Christmas paper on the Shore
Most of the matter was prepared express
ly for its columns by the leading humor-
lists of the day. Itsnew suit oftype is well
fitted to a form replete with spicy reading.
Bro. Way certainly outdid himself. "A
Happy New Year to the Transcript

The Middletown transcripts Christmas
number, together with half sheet supple
ment, was printed on delicately tinted
book paper, from new type, and was filled
with contributions both in prose and poet
ry by a dozen humorous newspaper wrl-
ters who enjoy a national reputation. The
transcript is always good; last week 1t
was perfect. Georgetown Inquirer.
The NIiddletown (Del.) Transcript IS
sued siXteen-column supplement-, which,
with its regular issue for the week, was
printed on heavy, cream-tinted paper. It's
literary contents were of high order, en-
bracing contributions, in poetry and prose,
from dozen or more Of the humorous
photographers, with other choice contrlbu-
lions. It's readers find that where there is
Way there is sure to be a good paper

The Christmas number Of the Middle
torn Transcript came to hand, racy,
bright, scintallant, as a white heat from a
blacksmith's forge. The Transcript is al
ways sparkling; (it is a Way it has,) but
OH this occasion it was unusually so, being
decked out in an entire new suit, printed
on a cream-tinted paper, and filled with
the creme de la creme of current litera-
ture, original and selected. We have never
ceased to feel a lively interest in the Tran
script from the date of its first issue, bear
ing our own imprimis. It's worthy Of the
highest success in the field of journalism.
1t is the most spicy and original paper on
our exchange list. Its topographic neat
ness is owing to the cunning hand of Mr..
J. Edgar Newson, son of Joseph NJ. New
son, ESQ, Of this CITY, Westminster Md. }
Democratic Advocate.
Scott Ways promised Christmas edition
of the Middletown Transcript is smiling
upon us as we write. Scott has every rea-
son to feel proud of such a worthy publi-
cation. In addition to a sulnptuous feast
of selected articles appropriate to the occa-
sion it contains original productions from
the pens of the Woodworking journalists
whose (alleged) humor is keeping the
continent in happy frame of mind. It's
Eastern contributors are hampton, of the
Herald; Hubert, of the
Waterloo Observer; Kissinger, of the
Rome Sentinel; Fitzgerald, of the Phila-
Qelpnla Item UrSeuSlGG, Ol inc Ddulel-
Sentinel; Ed. I. Torialle, of the
Yonkers Statesman; Gwynne, Jr., Of the
Salem Sunbeam; Ed. L. Adams, of the
Nfarathan Independent; and Smith (not
John) of the Syracuse Sunday Times.
Pitted against this solid phalanx of cele-
brated eastern humorists we find from the
West but two names: Garrett, Of the Keo-
kuk Gate city, and Adams, of the ArgO.
Of course they outnumbered us-and
licked us. In addition to these a number
of contributors outside of the press helped
to make up most excellent holiday pa
