WEEKLY THf ES.
ATTRACTIVE ENTERTAINING INSTRUC
TIVE. THE FAMILY JOURNAL OF
AMERICA.
STORIES OF THE WAR ILLUSTRATED IN
EVERY ISSUE.
APAPfR FOR THE HOMES OF THE LAND
SPARKLING AND ORIGINAL IN EVERY
FEATURE

On the first of January next, departure
in every feature of the Weekly TIMES will be
made. Every number will be literally illustrated
in its War contributions, which have so long
been speciality in its columns and in its Stories,
which will be greatly enlarged from the pens Of
the beat writers, and in current History, Bio
graphy, Politics, Art, Science and the leading
events OF the day.
The time mas passed for the weekly Journal of
the city to ill the place of newspaper. The
daily newspaper ffum the great centres OF news
now reaches into every section of the land.
Every inland city and every town of Importance
have their daily newspapers, and the local week
ly, with the wonderful progress in provincial
journalism, meets every want that the daily news
paper fails to supply. The metropolitan weekly
of day must be much more than a newspaper;
it must be magazine of family reading; it must
lead the magazine in popular literature; it must
lead in popular illustration, and it must meet
every requirement of the intelligent reader Of
every class.
STORIES OF THE WAR will be published in
each number from the ablest writers who partic-
pated in the bloody drama Of civil strife, and
each will be profusely illustrated. The most en-
tertaining and instructive STORIES from the
best writer's of fiction will appear in each issue,
with illustrations.

A committee of eminent physicians has been
appointed by the international Medical Congress,
which lately met in Copenhagen, to inquire into
the causes of cancer, and to investigate particu-
larly the supposed association between the disease
and the use of certain foods, the influence of wor
ry and depressed state of the health in produc-
ing the malady, and the extent to which it is
hereditary. A report is to be made at the Wash
