New Guessing Contest.

Do moi fail TO read carefully the details OF
our ewGuassing Contest fully setforth on
the first page of this issue.
The time is short now. Remember thai
you have chance at the prize for every
subscriber you send in. and notice also. that,
these cash prizes are given as an extra
premium without reference to the regular
premium which the club-raiser may choose
from our list.
AS an example of what amount of money
is being received by the Treasury, day by
day. we publish below the respective
amolnts according TO the official rep rts for
last week.

The receipts for last week ran unevenly,
contrary to the usual course. because in
many of the States the 18th was observed
as holiday. being Lincoln's birthday, and
no business was transacted. There is no
public holiday. however, in the middle week
of March, when our contest closes, so that
the receipts for that week may be expected
to be about the average for the month.
