The LittSe Corporal 
PUBLISHING HOUSE 
with all its contents, hut notwithstanding this terrible “ bap¬ 
tism of lire,” the gallant little 
Juvenile Still Lives, 
to be more attractive and charming than ever before. 
The Little Corporals, 
“The Little Corpoeal Magazine, for boys and girls, 
is the very best juvenile magazine published. It employs 
the best and most entertaining writers for children in the 
country, and furnishes more valuable reading matter for its 
S rice than any other magazine.”— Medical Journal, Elmira, 
T . Y. 
The Little Corporal. 
“ In selecting reading matter for the family, the children 
should not be overlooked. It is quite probable that the im¬ 
pression they receive from books lias as much influence 
upon their lives as any other. This neat and well-illustrated 
monthly is so well adapted to the wants of the class, that it 
is rapidly taking the place of all others.”— Enterprise, 
Earnesville, 0.

TO ALL WHO CAN HEAD. 
Tire Weekly Sun Doubled In Size with¬ 
out Increase in Price. 
With the beginning of the yearlS72 The Weekly Sun 
will he double its present, size, and will contain eight 
pages instead of four, making it equal in dimensions to 
any other weekly secular journal published in this coun¬ 
try. At the same time its price will not be increased. It 
will be furnished to subscribers at the uniform rate of 
one dollar a year for each copy. To this rate no excep¬ 
tion will he made, and no reduction will he possible, 
either to clubs or agents. Every subscriber who sends a 
dollar will receive a copy for a year. 
While The Weekly Sun will thus furnish 2s much 
reading matter as other papers published at double or 
treble the price, it will contain new features which will 
add greatly to its interest and value as a family news¬ 
paper. Its independence of opinion, and its unqualified 
hostility to Tweedism and Grantism, and every form of 
public robbery, bribery, and corruption, will be main¬ 
tained, while in point of political news its readers may 
rely upon always receiving the most accurate as well as 
the freshest intelligence that can possibly he obtained. 
The enlargement will enable us also to devote additional 
space to valuable agricultural intelligence, and to print, 
interesting stories and romances more extensively than 
hitherto. For miscellaneous reading presenting the 
quaint and humorous aspects of life, and for useful in¬ 
formation respecting not only what takes place in this 
metropolis and this country, but in all other parts of the 
world, we shall now have ample room. 
In its new form, The Weekly Sun will he the cheap¬ 
est paper of its class in the United States; and we appeal 
to such of onr readers as approve its ideas and objects, 
and find it interesting and valuable, not only to renew 
their own subscriptions, but to recommend the paper to 
their friends and neighbors. 
The coming year is destined to be a memorable one in 
the history of the country. We are on the ove of a most 
significant Presidential election, and political movements 
wilt for many months he watched with unusual interest. 
As a journal, free from the trammels of party, The 
Weekly Sun will continue to uphold the principles of 
true republican government. Its readers are invited to 
sustain it in that work. The truth, irrespective of party 
prejudice or official influence, will always he told in its 
columns. 
Terms of the Weekly Sun—

The principles of their construction and use ; with sim¬ 
ple and practical explanations of the laws of motion and 
force as applied on the farm. By John JT. Tlioraas. 
With 2S7 illustrations. Price $1.50. 
Tiie basis of this admirable work was an essay published 
in 1850, in the Transactions of the N. Y. State Agricultural 
Society, which was enlarged, and in 1S54 published by the 
Harpers. It lias been, and remains, the only work in which 
the principles of Natural Philosophy, namely, the mechani- 
cal powers, and the powers of water, wind, and heat, are 
systematically discussed as applied to the operations of the 
farm. This work lias now been most carefully revised by 
the author. It is much enlarged, and a great part has been 
re-written, while the illustrations, before abundant, now 
number two hundred and eighty-seven. There is not an agri¬ 
cultural writer that could lie named more respected than 
Joint J. Thomas, or one whose judgment and freedom from 
personal bias in discussing new implements could he more 
implicitly relied upon.
