The publishers OF the HERALD encour.
aged by the liberal patronage awarded
them in the past, and appreciating the
importance which Rutland is fast assum-
ing among her sister towns in the State,
feel inspired to renewed exertions on
their part 10 meet the wants OF an en-
lightened and generous public by doing
sll within their power to make the HER.
AID first class paper.


In accordance with these views they
have made arrangements to materially
improve the mechanical appearance Of
the papers, and would announce that on
the first day OF January the Daily will
be presented on new type and enlarged
by an addition OF matter equivalent to
over one-fourth It's present size. The
Weekly will also be enlarged in the same
proportion. The new dress and enlarge
ment will make the mechanical appear
ance all that could be desired, and place
the paper in a favorable position for
comparison with our city contemporaries.


The editorial department will be in
the hands OF an able corps of editors,
who will spare no pains to ill its COL
Umns with fresh and interesting matter
The latest current news Of the day will
be given, and especial attention paid to
the publication of local, town, county
and State items OF interest. Arrange
ments have been made st great expense
for the latest telegraphic news, and this
feature o. the HERALD will give its
readers the same dispatches that appear
in the Boston and New York dailies, and
place them in possession OF the latest
intelligence from all sections. Reports
Of the proceedings Of all the religious,
historical, literary and agricultural socie-
ties, and other public meetings and gath
erings, will be made special depart
ment. A series of biographical sketches
II the eminent men OF Vermont, and
historical sketches of towns and events,
written by some of the most competent
gentlemen in the Safe, will be pub
lished. A series of letters from Europe,
also from the Western and Southern
States, will appear weekly, thus making
the Daily and Weekly HERALD the fresh
est and best newspaper in Vermont


It will be our earnest effort to give
the paper high tone, and present sub
Iects that will commend themselves to
the taste and Judgment OF its patrons.
The position we occupy in one OF the
most prosperous towns of the State,
gives us an opportunity to make the HER
ALD leading and influential journal,
which will be constantly improved, by
all the efforts that lay in our power to
meet the progressive tendencies and
spirit which are daily making demands
upon our energies to promptly perform
the duty due to the reading public.


Our prospects for the coming year
could hardly be more fatterlng and sat
is factory than at present, giving US con-
ddence, that in making arrangements
for enlarging and re. modelling the HER.
AID, we shall be literally sustained
in largely increased subscription list,
and in return be able to give our patrons
the most readable and attractive sheet
in Vermont. Now is the time for those
whose subscriptions are about expiring
to renew for 1868. Each one OF our
present subscribers, with little effort,
can send US another in their neighbor-
hood. We would present our thanks to
those individuals in the county and State
who have furnished us items and COM
muncations during the past year, and
ask g continuance of their favors.
