PHILADALPHIA. 
Price to Single Subscribers, ONE DOLLAE—To Clubs 
still less.

copies; $30, forty-two copies ; $35, fifty copies. 
It is a Newspaper for the Farmer, the Mechanic, the 
Merchant and Laborer. 
T HE publishers spare no efforts to make the “Newspaper” 
an instructive as well as an entertaining companion for 
the Farmer and his family. It contains, weekly, about two 
columns of original articles on Agricultural subjects, and as 
they are mostly from practical farmers, are highly appreci¬ 
ated by all classes of readers. Much profit, we learn from 
all quarters, has been derived from the perusal of this depart¬ 
ment of the paper. In the course of the year the Agricultu¬ 
ral matter of the “Newspaper,” if bound up together, would 
form a good sized book volume, worth more than the cost of 
a year’s subscription. 
As a vehicle of the latest news, the Newspaper is be¬ 
lieved to be without a rival among lhe weekly Press. It is 
published on a pair of mammoth machines capable of printing 
20,000 impressions each per hour. By the use of these ma¬ 
chines the columns of the paper can be kept open to the latest 
have for news, and until within a few hours of the date of the 
paper,whereas most other Family papers beingprinted by slow 
presses go to press several days before the day of their date, 
thus of course omitting the news. To maintain the excellence 
of its literary department, the proprietors
