WEEKLY EVENING POST. 
^ HANDSOME EIGHT-DAY BRONZE 
CLOCK FOR, THE PARLOR 1V1AJV- 
TEL OF EVERY HOUSEHOLD. 
The Proprietors of the EVENING POST offer an EIGHT-DAY BRONZE CI*OCK, which the above cut 
illustrates, to every person who will obtain 
ONLY FIFTEEN SUBSCRIBERS FOR THE 
WEEKLY EVENING FO&T, 
At Two Dollars each, or for EIGHT SUBSCRIBERS to tlie 
KE?IMVi:i-;iil.Y EVEXI3TO POST, At Four Dollars each. 
The Clocks which we thus offer as a premium were first placed in the market some years since, by the AMERICAN 
CLOCK. COMPANY of this City and have won general approval for their accuracy as time-keepers, as well as their 
elegance of form, which makes such a clock an ornament fit for any parlor mantel-piece, and in beauty of design and fineness 
of finish they are equal to the French Clocks. The movements are made upon the French plan, have steel pinions, are 
finely polished, and dealers admit that they will run more surely and correctly than the French ; while they have the quali- 
ties which have always made the French clocks desirable, of noiseless ticking, and a pleasant, clear-toned bell, striking the 
hours and half-hours. Many thousands of these clocks have been manufactured, and the demand keeps pace with the sup- 
ply. The liberality of our offer will be appreciated when it is considered that these clocks cannot be bought at the stores 
throughout the country for less than TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS ; so that, as the regular subscription price for 15 
copies of the WEEKLY POST is S30, or $32 for eight copies of the SEMI- WEEKLY, the clock or the paper Is nearly an 
ABSOLUTE GIFT 
In order that all may be encouraged to make the attempt to procure this desirable Household Article, we shall allow, in 
the event of persons not being able to procure the requisite number of names, a commission of Twenty-Jive Cents for each 
subscription to our WEEKLY, or Fifty Cents for each subscription to our SEMI-WEEKLY, so that all may be rewarded 
for their effort, " it being understood that in every case the money must accompany the names" The clocks will be care- 
fully packed and sent by Express to any address ; and we have made arrangements with the Express Companies, which will 
cause their being forwarded at a much less cost to the receiver than their ordinary charges. 
The appropriateness of our premium as a 
HOLIDAY GIFT, 
will be apparent, and doubtless we shall be the medium of many pleasant surprises. 
The proprietors of the EVENING POST desire to add largely to the circulation of the WEEKLY and SEMI-WEEKLY edi- 
tions of their journals ; believing that the care with which these papers are made up, the unusual variety of their contents, 
their high literary character, fullness of news, both foreign and domestic, and interesting special features, contribute to 
make cither the WEEKLY or SEMI-WEEKLY E VENLNG POST the best family journal in America.

A new work on Market and FAnrn-r Gabdentno. It 
is finely illustrated, and is the first book of the kind 
prepared by a Market Gardener, in this country. Tha 
author is well known, and his successful experience of 
eighteen years, enables him to give a most valuable 
record. It is an original and purely American work, and 
not made up, as books on gardening too often are, by 
quotations from foreign authors. Everything is made 
perfectly plain, and the subject treated in all its details, 
from the selection of the soil to preparing the products 
for market. By Peter Henderson. Cloth, 12mo 358 pp.

Tim Bunker Papers- 
Although "Timothy Bunker, Esquire," writes in the 
Connecticut vernacular, there is more sound common 
sense, and real information upon agricultural matters, 
in this work than is to be found in many more pre- 
tending volumes. His old friends will gladly welcome 
the collected writings of Mr. Bunker, and those who 
are not familiar with them will derive not only instruc- 
tion but amusement from their perusal. The distin- 
guished artist Hoppin has tried his pencil on some of 
the inhabitants of Hookertown, and given a series of 
characteristic illustrations, cloth, 12iuo. 312 pp.
