T1 Will 81 
Is prepared with great care especially for country subscri¬ 
bers. The news of the week, in every department, is con¬ 
densed for it by experienced and skillful editors, so that its 
readers will be able to learn in a brief space of time, every 
event of importance that has happened in any part of the 
globe. A selection from the most interesting editorial arti¬ 
cles of Tiie Daily Sun will form one of its constant fea¬ 
tures, while the most instructive and entertaining miscella¬ 
ny will also occupy a large portion of its columns. 
The features and fluctuations of the markets of cattle, 
produce, and general merchandise, will be accurately and 
carefully exhibited in our columns; and while Tiik Weekly 
Sun is thus especially adapted to fill a place occupied by no 
other of our journals as a 
General Family Newspaper, 
it will also furnish accurate and fresh reports of all matters 
of importance to 
THE AGRICULTURIST AND GARDENER. 
This department is under the supervision of Andrew S. 
Fuller, who will not only write on the subjects in question, 
but will also attend the meetings of the Farmers’ Club, and 
will daguerreotype their proceedings for the benefit of our 
subscribers. We shall also be glad to receive and print in 
this department of The Sun the results of the practical ex¬ 
perience of our readers in agriculture and horticulture. 
Communications on these topics maybe addressed to the 
Agricultural Editor of Tiie Sux, New York City. 
A Liberal Offer. 
We have received the following note from Mr. Fuller, 
which speaks for itself: 
To the Publisher of The Sun. 
Sir : One of the great pleasures of an editor is in knowing 
that his labors are appreciated by his readers. 
As I have taken editorial charge of the Agricultural and 
Horticultural Department of The Sux, I am desirous of 
ascertaining bow many of its readers take a special interest 
in these subjects. 
For the purpose of obtaining the desired information, I 
make the following proposition; 
To every subscriber to Tiie Weekly or Semi-Weekly 
Sux, who shall send in his name, with the full subscription 
price, before the 1st of May next, I will forward by mail, 
carefully packed, and postage paid, six root cuttings each of 
the Wilson’s Early and Kittaunny blackberry, or two good 
vines of the Concord grape. The one-year old plants of 
these new and most excellent blackberries are now being 
sold by our nurserymen at, prices ranging from $1 to $!) per 
dozen: and the cuttings which I offer will make equally as 
good plants the first season, besides affording stock for their 
further propagation. 
I do not offer these cuttings or vines as a premium, but 
having a quantity on hand, which I know to be genuine, I 
tender them to the agricultural readers of the Weekly and 
Semi-Weekly Sun. as an earnest of m.v good will, and the 
pleasant relations which I hope to establish with them. 
A. S. FULLER. 
The price of The Weekly Sun is fixed at 
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR, 
and while it is offered at this low rate, our friends will hear 
in min 1 that it is only by a very large subscription list that 
we can be enabled to derive from it anything like a fair 
compensation for the trouble and expense involved in its 
publication. It is true that it is printed upon a sheet of more 
convenient form and dimensions than most of the other 
general weekly newspapers of this city; but the very con¬ 
densation and point which give it value, and make its con¬ 
tents so quickly and easily accessible to every reader, are 
gained by unusual care and labor on the part of its editors. 
It is comparatively easy to fill a big blanket paper up with 
long and uninteresting articles; tiie work of condensation 
requires labor, talent, and continual watchfulness. 
Twenty copies of Tiie Weekly Sux will he mailed to 
one address lor $17, and fifty copies for $37.50, invariably 
in advance. Address THE SUN, New York City. 
THE SEMI-WEEKLY SUX 
Will he of the same size and general character as Tiie 
AVeekly, hut will have space for a greater variety of mis¬ 
cellaneous reading, and will furnish the news to its subscri¬ 
bers with greater freshness, because it will come twice a 
week instead of once only. Its subscription price will be only 
TAVO DOLLARS A YEAR, 
which is tiie ordinary price of a New York weekly. AVe 
confidently recommend this edition of The Sux to all our 
friends in tiie country who wish to receive their paper more 
frequently than once a week, and keep themselves more 
freshly posted with regard to tiie news. 
Subscriptions to THE SEMI-WEEKLY' SUN will now be 
received; but tiie first number will not be issued until The 
First AA’eek ix April, as it is entirely a new paper; the 
editions of The Sun having hitherto been Daily and Weekly 
only. 
Clubs of ten Subscribers, who have their papers sent to 
one address, will receive The Semi-AVeekly Sun on pay¬ 
ment of $18. Twenty copies will be sent to one address for 
$35 ; and fifty copies for $80, always in advance. 
Address THE SUN, 
New York City. 
The Weekly Sun and American Agriculturist will 
be furnished together for $2.00. 
The Semi-Weekly and Agriculturist for $3.00. 
THE 
The best Weekly Newspaper published in the AA’est, will bo 
issued as a Campaign Paper from tiie meeting of the Nation¬ 
al Republican Convention, May21st, to December 1st, for the 
Yea°y ILow Fa'ice of 5© ceaats. 
It will contain the fullest political intelligence, general 
news, commercial reports, choice selections of reading mat¬ 
ter, and able editorials oil all important current topics. It 
must commend itself particularly to Republican Clubs and 
Campaign Committees as tiie cheapest, most entertaining, 
and most effective campaign document issued. Every Re¬ 
publican should take it and see that his neighbor has it.
