Tlie best article on Fish Culture appeared in tlie March 
number. 
Haney's Journal is carefully edited, and numbers among 
its contributors the ablest writers on the various subjects 
treated. The author of the celebrated work “Rogues and 
Rogueries,” is employed to investigate and show up nil 
humbugs and swindles, and this department of Haney’s 
Journal keeps tlie reader fully posted on all deceptive and 
fraudulent schemes. Our large circulation enables us to 
spend more in making Haney’s Journal a first-rate, relia¬ 
ble journal, than is expended on many high-priced papers. 
That Haney’s Journal gives satisfaction, is proved by tlie 
fact that of tlie many new subscribers received this year, 
only one expressed himself disappointed witli tlie paper and 
desired his subscription money returned in accordance witli 
the offer made to our subscribers. 
We have received many highly complimentary letters 
from all parts of the country, hut have no room to publish 
them. We thank tlie writers, however, for their kind words, 
and we feel greatly encouraged to know our effort to make 
a good paper at a price all "can aff ord, is so popular. The 
success of Haney’s Journal lias been even greater than 
we had expected. 
The following is hut a sample of many letters received 
by us. We select it merely because tlie writer is so widely 
known. It was entirely unsolicited, and, we doubt not, ex¬ 
presses tlie writer’s unprejudiced opinion :

following persons: * * * Your second number is capital 
—even better than your first. In fact, Haney’s Journal 
is tlie best two cents’ worth of periodical reading that I ever

and how a man earned it. Mr. Alexander T. Stewart, tlie 
New York millionaire, is tlie subject of the biography in the 
present number, in tlie series of "Rich Men of the World 
and how they Gained their Wealth.” It is the first entirely 
authentic biography of the “ Dry Goods Prince” that lias 
ever been published. No young man can fail to derive profit 
from reading how the Successful Men of tlie World acquired 
tlieir Fortunes. 
In tlie April number will appear a brilliant sketcli of the 
Railway King, Cornelius Vanderbilt ; and tills will he fol¬ 
lowed by one of II. B. Claflin, the Representative 
American Merchant. 
These sketches are very INTERESTING and USEFUL to 
all young men who have tlieir way in the world to make. 
Many of tlie Agriculturist readers will he interested in 
knowing that AUNT SUE, a lady whose articles are al¬ 
ways read with pleasure, and whose charming and peculiar 
style is excelled by no other writer—is a contributor to Ha¬ 
ney's Journal. In the April number she has something to 
say to young men who are, or who expect to he, in love, 
which every young man so situated, or so expecting, should 
be sure to read. Perhaps in the next number Aunt Sue will 
take the girls in hand in the same manner. 
Haney’s Journal is a moderate sized, illustrated month¬ 
ly, handsomely printed on fine, heavy, white paper. 
In order to place it within tlie reach of all, and secure an 
enormous circulation, we have put the price at only 35 cts. 
for a Whole Year. Single copies may he had of any news¬ 
dealer. No gratis samples under any circumstances, and no 
orders received for less Ilian one year. 
Remember, only 35 cents for Raney’s Journal for the

remember, its low price is the least of the attractions of 
Haney’s Journal. Send along your quarters to

The Extraordinary Success of this popular Family Paper 
is owing entirely to the fact, that it comes up to the expec¬ 
tation of every family. Tlie stories are by the most distin¬ 
guished authors. Its sketches are full of life and vigor,—its 
editorials brilliant,—its illustrations tlie best in the country, 
and its reading matter so varied and interesting, that tlie 
paper is pronounced by all who have examined it, as the 
handsomest and best family paper extant. 
In No. 24, to be issued April 4th, we shall commence the 
publication of tlie best Indian story—without exception— 
that has ever appeared in America. We have procured tlie 
exclusive right of publishing it at an immense expense—and 
tlie readers of tlie FIRESIDE COMPANION will agree witli 
us as to what we have said of it. 
That the public may have an inkling of the story, we give 
a few extracts below. 
“ What’s the matter, Tom Bruce?” said the father, eyeing 
him with surprise. 
“Matter enough,” responded the young giant, with a grin 
of mingled awe and delight; “the Jibhenainosay is up 
again!” 
“ Whar?” cried the Senior eagerly,—“not in our limits ?” 
“ No, by Jehoshaphat!” replied Tom; “hut nigh enough 
to be neighborly,—on the north bank of Kenluck, whar Tie 
lias left liis mark right in tlie middle of the road, as fresh as 
though it war but the work of the morning!” 
“ And a clear mark, Tom ?—no mistake m it ?’’ 
“Right to an iota!” said the young man; “a reggelar 
cross on tlie breast, and a good tomahawk dig right through 
the skull; and a long-legg’d fellow too, that looked as though 
he might have fou’t old Sattan himself!” 
“ It’s the Jibhenainosay, sure enough ; and so good luck to 
him,” cried the commander; “ thar’s a liarricane coming!” 
“Who is the Jibhenainosay?” demanded Forrester. 
“Who?” cried Tom Bruce; “Why, Nick—Nick of tho 
Woods.” 
“ And who, if you please, is Nick of the Woods?” 
“ Thar,” replied the Junior, with another grin, “tliar. 
Stranger, you're too hard for me. Some think one tiling, 
and some another : hut tliar’s many reckon lie’s the devil.’ 1 
“And liis mark, that you were talking of in such mysteri¬ 
ous terms,—what is that?” 
“ Why, a dead Injun, to he sure, with N ick’s mark on him, 
—a knife-cut, or a brace of ’em, over the ribs in the shape of 
a cross. That's the way the Jibhenainosay marks all tlie 
meat of liis killing. It lias been a whole year now, since wo 
h’ard of him.” 
“Captain,” said the elder Bruce, “j-ou don’t seem to un¬ 
derstand the affa’r altogether; but if you were to ask Tom 
about tlie Jibhenainosay till doomsday, he could tell you no 
more than lie has told already. You must know, thar’s a 
creatur’ of some sort or other, that ranges the wood round 
about our station h’yar, keeping a sort of guard over ns like, 
and killing all the brute Injuns that ar’ onlucky enough to 
come in ins way, besides scalping them, and marking "them 
witli liis mark. The Injuns call him Jibhenainosay , or a 
word of that natur’, winch them that knows more about 
tlie Injun gabble than I do, say means tlie spirit-lhat-icalks, 
and if I can believe any such lying devils ns Injuns, he is 
neither man nor beast, but a great ghost or devil, that knifa 
cannot harm, nor bullet touch.” 
“But,” continued the Colonel, turning to his son, “who 
brought tills news, Tom?” 
“ Captain Ralph,—Roaring Ralph Stackpole,” replied Tom 
Bruce, with a knowing and humorous look. 
“ What!’’ cried the father in sudden alarm : “ Look to the 
horses, Tom.” 
By this time they were nearing the company, where Ralph 
was amusing the young men with tlie restlessness and grace 
of a jumping Jack. 
As soon as he saw the commander of the station approach¬ 
ing, lie cleared the throng around him by a skip and a hop, 
seized the Colonel by the nand, and doing tlie same witli tlie 
soldier, before Roland could repel him, as lie would have 
done, exclaimed: “Glad to see you, Cnnnel:—same to you. 
Stranger—What’s tlie news from Virginnie ? Stranger, my 
name’s Ralph Stackpole, and I’m a ring-tailed squealer!” 
“Then, Mr. Ralph Stackpole, the ring-tailed squealer,” said 
Roland, disengaging his hand, “he so good as to pursue your 
business, wiihout regarding or taking any notice of me. 
“ Tarnal death to me!” cried the Captain of Horse-thieves, 
indignant at the rebuff, “ I’m a gentleman, and my name is 
Fight/ - Foot and hand, tooth and nail, claw and mud- 
scraper, knife, gun, and tomahawk, or any other way you 
choose to take me, I'm your man! Cock-a-doodle-do.” See¬ 
ing that the company enjoyed tlie scene, lie continued, 
“Whar’s your buffalo-bull to cross horns with the roarer of 
Salt River? Whar’s your full-blood colt, that can shake a sad¬ 
dle off’? li’yar’s an old nag can kick off’the top a buck-eye ! 
Whar’s your cat of tlie Knobs? Your wolf of tlie Rolling- 
Prairies ? h’yar’s tlie old brown b’ar can chaw tlie hark off' a 
gum-tree! H’yar’s a man for you, Tom Bruce! Same to 
you, Sim Roberts! to you, Jimmy Bignose ! to you, and to 
you, and to you ! Ar’nt I a ring-tailed squealer ? Can go 
down Salt on my hack, and swim up tlie Ohio! Wliar’s the 
man to fight roaring Ralph Stackpole, ?” 
" If you’re ralely ripe for a flglit, Roaring Ralph,” cried 
Tom Bruce tlie younger, “here comes tlie very man for you. 
Look, boys, tliar’ comes Bloody Nathan !” 
“ Whar’s the feller ?” cried Captain Stackpole, springing 
six feet into tlie air. nnrf uttering a whoop of anticipated 
triumph. -‘ I’ve lieerd of the brute, and, tarnal death to me, 
but I’m liis super-superior! Show me tlie critter, and let me 
fly! Cock-a-doodle-doo!” 
Tliis wonderful story will he commenced in No. 24 of the
