Rochester. n Y

About sixty million copies Of THE SUN have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col
umns of all THE SUN printed aud sold last year
You would get continuous strip of interesting
information, common sense wisdom. sound
doctrine, and sane wit long enough to reach
from Printing House square to the top Of
Mount COperniCus in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then three-quar-
ters of the way back to the moon again.
But THE SUN is written for the inhabitants
of the earth; this same strip of intelligence
would girdle the globe twenty-SeVen or
twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of q copy Of THE SUN during
the past year has spent only one hour over il.
and if his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper in 1883 has af-
fOrded the human race thirteen thousand years
Of steady reading, night and day.
1t IS only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea Of the circulation of the
most popular of American newspapers. or of
its influence on the opinions and actions OF
American men and women.
The sun Is, and will continue to be, q news
paper which tells the truth without fear Of
ter how much the process costs, which presents
the news all over the world without waste OF
words and in the most readable shape, which
. Is working with all its heart TOR the cause OF
honest government. and which therefore be
Geves that the Republican party must 90, anC
( must go IN this coming year OF our Lord, 1854
If you know THE sun, you like it already
and you will read it with accustomed diligence
and profit during what is sure to be the mos
interesting year in its history. If you do no
know THE Sun, it is high time to get into the

The Wizard Concert.

On Monday night was a perfect sue
cess, thanks to the boys who managed
it. ':Faint heart never yet won fair
lady" and if their hearts were faint
on taking hold of the Wizard Enter
tainment no sign of faintness was seen.
They took hold of it with vim and an
energy which carried it right straight
through, and lesson might here be
learned while will prove of future ben
eft. We have pretty opera house,
and capable of seating just such 4
crowd as was induced to enter it
Monday night, and we cannot sec
the reason why it is not oftener
so filled, unless it is that the proper
efforts are not made. Over five hum
dred persons enjoyed the treat fur
nished them this time, and the eX-
preston of opinion is universal that
never before was such splendid en-
tertainment afforded. We regret that
this versatile and talented troupe see
reason to change their base and leave
US, and we sincerely hope that New
berry will be in their rounds once
again. The concert was indeed the
best ever rendered in Newberry, and
the gentlemen making up this troupe
are generally and individually artists
in instrumental and vocal music.
Mr.. Burt in his character impersona-
ton, particularly as Aunt Betsy was
''consoling" TO Us. he or she hoped to
to be to Miss Cornelia." As Farmer
Magee he is unapproachable and laugh
ter exciting. Childs in his character
songs, as were all the others, displayed
equal talent and vocal power. We
have never heard Rocked in the
cradle of the deep'' so we'll rendered
as on this occasion. Take this con-
cert in its entirety we were never bet
ter pleased, and We do hope that it
will be repeated in the near future.

The America rmer

For February u IS number replete
with valuable matter for the husband
man. AS usual in this old and practi-
cal farm journal, the reports of pro-
gressive farmers clubs are conspic-
uous part of its contents, and the ex-
periences Of skillful and successful ag-
riculturists are thus passed around to
thousands Of readers. The subject of
fertilizers and manures is also a con-
spicuous topic, as are live stock, the
dairy, fruit-growing, poultry raising,
bee-keeping, etc. An attractive por-
ton of the paper is the Home Depart
ment, in which the ladies of the farm
household always find something pleas
ing and instructive.
4 new contribution to the Farmer is
announcedin this number, DR.. B. Pur-
year, Professor of Chemistry in the
Richmond, Va, College, one of the
most lucid and practical writers on
agricultural topics in the South, who
begins a series of articles on topics of
every day interest, and with the ap-
plication thereto of scientific principles.
Another distinguished writer is the
associate editor, DR.. Thos. Pollard, eX-
commissioner Of Agriculture of Vir-
ginia, who in this number treats on
commercial fertilizers.
The Farmer is published twice a
month, by Sam;l Sands & Son, Balti-
more, at $3.50 year or 81 to clubs Of
five or more.
