PROFITABLE EMPLOY¬ 
MENT for WINTER. 
While thousands are looking for employment during tlie 
winter months, we would call the attention of such as arc 
located in villages, country towns and farming communi¬ 
ties everywhere, to our Catalogue of hardy grape-vines. 
We have a largo and well-grown stock of vines of 
THE EUMELAN GRAPE, 
which is everywhere acknowledged as the earliest, hardiest, 
and best, and lias been awarded First Premium at leading 
Fairs in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and many other 
States. 
These are the strongest commendations of its quality, and 
the universal success ot this grape proving everywhere hardy 
and vigorous, as well as productive of an abundance of fruit 
of first quality, entitles it to the first place in every collec¬ 
tion, either in garden or vineyard, for family use, for 
market, or for wine. 
We havo published a pamphlet giving a more complete 
history of this grape which will be sent with Price-List of 
vines lo all applicants. 
AGENTS AND CANVASSERS WILL FIND VERY PROF¬ 
ITABLE EMPLOYMENT selling Eumelan viucs, our terms 
to canvassers being very liberal.

TEE TOLEDO BLADE, 
A large quarto sheet, containing fifty-six columns filled 
with News irom all parts of the World ; choice original and 
selected Tales, Sketches, Poetry, Wit and Humor. Besides 
tliis, every number contains a Voting Folks Department, 
an Agricultural Department, a Religious Department and a 
Commercial Department, all prepared expressly for tho 
Blade, rendering it tlie ninsi complete and perfect 
Family Newspaper published anywhere. 
The Nasby Letters! 
These inimitable Letters are written expressly for tho 
Blade and will lie continued in its columns during the year. 
Oppression, wrong, and corruption, wherever found, are ex¬ 
posed by tlie trenchant pen of tlie great humorist. “Tlie 
Nasby Letters.” says a distinguished statesman, “ have done 
more towards tlie correction of some of the greatest evils in 
our government, and tlie spread of sound political princi¬ 
ples among the people, than all the speeches politicians ever 
made.” 
ORIGINAL STORIES. 
Tlie first week in March, 1S71, we will commence tlie pub¬ 
lication of a charming original story, written expressly for 
the Blade by one of tlie most popular writers in the coun¬ 
try. Tlie high reputation of the author warrants us in pro¬ 
mising our readers a story of surpassing beauty and interest. 
Other stories by distinguished writers will be published dur¬ 
ing tlie year. 
Remember that the Blade is a truly TV a tional 
Newspaper— not a paper for either tlie East, t he West, the 
North or tlie South alone, but for Tlie Whole Country. 
TERMS.— Single Copies, ®3 per year; Clubs of live, 
SI.75 eacli; Clubs of Sc* and over. §1.50 each, and an
