THI sun.

TAd Sun for 1882 will make Its fifteenth
annual revolution under the present manage
ment, shining as always, for all, big and
little, mean and gracious, contented and
unhappy, Republican and Democratic,
depraHed and virtuous, intelligent and
obtuse. The Sta's light is for mankind and
womankind of every sort but its genial
warmth Is for the good, while It pours hot
discomfort on the blistering backs of the
persiatently wicked.
TN San of 1868 was newspaper OF new
kind. 1t discarded many of the forms and a
multitude of the superfiuous words and
phrases ofancient journalism. 1t undertook
to report In a fresh, succinct, unconventional
way all the news of the world, omitting no
eyento of human interest, and commenting
upon affairs with the fearlessness of absolute
Independence. The success Of this expert
mentwas the success of The San. Iteffected
a permanent change in the style of American
newspapers. Every important journal
established in this country In the dozen
years past has been modelled after The Sun.
Every important journal already existing has
been modified and bettered by the force of
The dua's example.
INV Sun oflS82 win be the same outspoken,
truth-telling and interesting newspaper.
By liberal use of the means which an
| abundant prosperity affords, we shall make
it better than ever before. We shall print all
the news, putting it into readable shape, and
measuring its importance, not by the
| traditional yardstick, but by It's real interest
to the people. Distance from Printing House
| square is not the first consideration with
The S'In. Whenever anything happens worth
reporting we get the particulars, whether II
happens in Brooklyn or Bokhara.
In politics we have decided opinions and
we are accustomed to express them In
language that can be understood. We say
what we think about men and events. That
habit is the only secret of The SIMS political
courae.
The Weekly Sun gathers into eight pages
the hest matter of the seven daily issues. An
| Agricultural Department of unequalled
merit, full market reports, and a liberal
proportion ofliterary, scientific and domestic
intelligence complete the Weekly S,s',, and
make 1t the best newspaper for the farmers

Who does not know and read and like the

aiter witnesses had been examined a ccrtif
eate oi death from accidental drowning was
issued. Warwick was single man about
30 years of age and was much liked bv his
employer and fellow-workmen. While
wheeling load Of coal from Hilles & Co.'S,
wharf ON plank his barrow struck most
and threw him into the dock. He evidently
struck his head as he fell, as he only rose
once. The body was recovered in about
half an hour. Only week ago Mr.. Saddler,
agent for Hilles d Co., was thrown into the
dock by the breaking of plank, badly
bruising his arm from the hand to the
elbow. He did not get under the water,
however, saving himself by catching a
board.
