Wood’s Household Magazine.— Two years ago New¬ 
burgh gave birth to her sixth publication by S. 2. Wood. It 
was first issued as a prospectus of a general book agency 
business, and lias since been twice re-christened—first to 
“Wood’s Household Advocate,” then to “ Wood’s House¬ 
hold Magazine,” its present title. The first number was in 
a small eight-page form at ten cents a year. It lias since 
been enlarged four times, with subscription prices twenty- 
five cents, fifty cents, seventy-five cents, and one dollar. 
Wc learn that the hack numbers arc all soon to be repub¬ 
lished in the present Magazine form. The success of Mr. 
Wood’s enterprise is one of the marvels of periodical liter¬ 
ature in these United States. From comparatively nothing 
it lias grown to be one of the most extensive and important 
concerns of the kind in the country. The circulation cf the 
Household Magazine is, we believe, exceeded but by or.e 
montlily in the country—Harper’s. It is largely taken in 
every one cf the thirty-six States, in all the Territories, iu 
Mexico, Canada, Furopc,- etc., etc. 
Wc attribute Mr. Wood’s success largely to his attractive 
and novel way of getting before the people. The following 
card from the July number of his Magazine will illus¬ 
trate : 
“A Fap.tnek Wanted either wiTn or. Without Cap¬ 
ital.— The business includes publishing and printing offices, 
and ‘WOOD’S HOUSEHOLD MAGAZINE ’ (formerly Ad¬ 
vocate), which has an edition of over one hundred thousand 
copies, and is the largest and best dollar monthly in the 
world! No individual of Hie male persuasion need apply, 
as I am a bachelor. For full particulars address S. S. 
WOOL). P. O. Building, Newburgh, X. Y. Post-masters 
and News-dealers throughout the United States arc fur¬ 
nished with Specimen Copies.” 
Now to the best of our knowledge and belief, the lady 
who secures tins partnership will be very fortunate indeed. 
Wo are personally acquainted with Mr. Wood, and know 
him to tie an industrious and strictly temperate young man,

fect order, and that I need have no fears but that It would 
prove a good time-keeper.
