therefore, will be held engaged to take the second or 
any other subsequent number, if the preceding one falls 
short of his just expectations. On the other hand, as 
the Editor never learned book-keeping, and truly has not 
the least talent or taste for accounts, he expeéts that his 
readers will send the price of each number, Fifteen 
Stivers (a quarter of a dollar) with their messengers for 
the papers—which will be deposited for sale at conve- 
nient places, to be hereafter pointed out. 
The first number will further develope the plan of the 
different branches of the Work, and will also contain as 
much of the Lz/e and Opinions of the Editor as he deems it 
necessary tocommunicate to his readers at the commence- 
ment of their acquaintance and by way of introduétion. 
Subscriptions will be received at the Store of Messrs. 
CHAMBERS and PATTERSON, Druggists, in Cumingsburg ; 
at the Guzana Chronicle Office, and at some place in 
Mahaica Village, to be appointed by JAMES SHANKS, Esq.”

same volume which are at least curious, the first, probably 
a “skit,” being as follows :— 
“In a few days will be published, A RECENT CORRES- 
PONDENCE between those late Literary Champions the 
ROUGH AND PLAIN PLANTER, with copious Notes, which 
contain Anecdotes respecting the copper-nosed Captain, 
and other Worthies——From the known ability of the 
parties, the public may expeét something curious and 
entertaining at least, 3
