THE DOLLAR NEWSPAPER, 
PHJLADELPHIA, PA., 
CIRCULATION ABOUT 40,000 COPIES WEEKLY , 
And the only Family Newspaper of its character afforded to single subscribers 
AT ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR, 
A ND is primed on a large imperial sheet of white paper, with fair, new type, of full face and small body, by which the largest amount 
of reading may be crowded into the smallest space. As a vehicle of the EARLIEST NEWS, it has no equal anion * the weekly 
press, and to maintain its well earned reputation as the medium through which the best ORIGINAL STORIES are given fo the public, 
the proprietors were induced last fall to offer 
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS AS PREMIUMS 
For the Eight best stories submitted in competition. This offer drew cut a large number of stories from gifted authors, and the five hun¬ 
dred dollars were awarded and paid. The series of stories are now in course of publication, and will be continued through the winter 
and spring. In point of merit they are believed to be unequaled by those published in any other family paper. A feature peculiar to the 
“ Dollar Newspaper,” and one which greatly enhances its value with the farmer and his family, is 
AN AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT, 
In which about two colums of original articles are weekly published, on subjects connected with the practical business of the farm—the che¬ 
mical properties of soils and manures ; the most approved modes of cultivation, etc., etc. 
The Newspaper is, in a word, perhaps more utilitarian as well as more original in matter, than any other family paper in the country, and 
while one dollar per year is considered very low to single subscribers, the terms to clubs are still lower; and it is to these that we especially 
call the attention of postmasters and all other friends of the “Newspaper,” who may feel an interest in increasing its circulation. This is 
the season for making up clubs. The following are the club terms: 
Club of Six Copies, ...$5 00 
Club of Thirteen Copies .. 10 00 
Club of Twenty Copies, . 15 00 
Club of Txventy-seven Copies, ... 20 00 
Club of Thirty-four Copies .. 25 00 
Club of Forty-two Copies, . 30 00 
Club of Fifty Copies, . 35 00 
Club of Seventy-five Copies, . 50 00 
The amount of subscription in every instance must be paid in advance, and in no case will a subscription be received for a shorter period 
than one year. Will our friends , the Postmasters , show the paper to such persons in their neighborhood as may wish to become subscri¬ 
bers. 
THE MAEMET§, 
Wholesale asset Sletail—JPriees of Produce, of Cattle, etc., etc. 
The important subjects which come under this head are minutely attended to, and more fully reported than in any other Weekly Family 
Paper in the country. In connection with this matter, a Bank Note List, the Rates of Discount, a notice of all new counterfeit and altered 
notes, with the Rates of Domestic Exchange, are weekily puplished, after undergoing careful revision and correction. Besides these, the 
prices of the staple products of the country, in all the principal markets, as well as the price of cattle in all the Atlantic cities, are condensed 
into a brief space in each number. 
No subscriptions continued for a longer period than ordered and paid for.

Great gale of Dairy Stock. 
T HE subscriber will offer for sale, without reserve, at Public Auc¬ 
tion, on TUESDAY the 25th day of March , 1851, at 12 o’clock, 
on the farm on which he resides, at Morrisania, Westchester comity, 
New-York, upwards of 
100 Head of Cows and Heifers. 
About 50 head of them are Native and Amsterdam Dutch Cows, se¬ 
lected by the subscriber with reference to milking qualities. The 
remainder, about 50 head, are grades—half, three-fourths, and seven- 
eighths blood Heifers, from 1 to 5 years old, bred by the subscriber, 
out of the very best Cows, and got by the celebrated imported short¬ 
horned Bull “Marius;” and so far as they have come to maturity, 
they appear to combine, with most faultless symmetry, nearly every 
point indicative of perfection in a Dairy Cow. 
Taking the whole dairy together, it is perhaps the best selected in 
the United States. The Cows, with a few exceptions, are all young, 
and in calf by the fine Bull “Amsterdam.” 
The many premiums I have been awarded, by the State Agricul¬ 
tural Society and by the American Institute, give evidence of success 
as a breeder. 
I will also sell my short-horned Cow, that took the first premium at 
the American Institute Fair, in October last. 
Two 2-year old Heifers and one yearling, all thorough bred. 
Two yoke of very superior WORKING CATTLE, with several 
fine HORSES. 
One BOAR, of the Russian grass breed. 
One imported improved (white) Berkshire SOW and PIGS. 
One Suffolk SOW and PIGS. 
The number of hogs in all, will be from 50 «.o 60, and some of them 
are as fine as can be produced. 
All the Farming and Dairy utensils, which are numerous. 
0=* A Catalogue and description of each animal, Mull be given on 
the day of sale. Stock purchased to be sent to a distance, will be de¬ 
livered by the subscriber on ship-board or railroad cars, in the city of 
New-York, free of risk and expease to the purchaser.
