••I Guess tou can Com* im tx m a Chance. ”
—Some good lady at the outset of Universulr

who contended chat all would be snvcci. She
kept a boarding house,, and applied a test of be

first who offered was a sea captain, and she be

“No, Madame,” said he.
“ How many do'you think will be damned ?”
continued she.
Ob K’ replied hif, “ I don ? t know—perhaps a
million.” ’
“ Well,” the old lady remarked “that’s better
than none nt all, 1 guess you can come in for
a chance.”
A few days afterwords another old co.lgcv
made application. The .some: tost wits applied
to him ;
“ Wow many do yoj} thjuk will be saved I”
*• Not u d d one!” replied the old fellow.

With the present number, thp 7ristnth&n ML
tered upon IU tl>!rd volume. Commenced ata
time when the confidence of the citizens of AI-'
toon.i in newspapers imfi - hcwspijper.pnblUhe**
wan considerably if hot totally umlhila- ,
ted, it has slowly but surely restored that con
fidence, and now stands upon a sure foundation,
and is universally acknowledged to bo one of
the fixed institutions of our town. But this re
sult has not been .achieved without a hard strug
gle, and considerable expenditure of t»;ue an I
means on the part of its editors. The. steady
increase of patronage, however, hss afforded in-
dubitable evidence that their labors have been ap- ,
dated. '
In entering upon the new volume it
unnecessary to say that the TVibune will contin
ue ,U» be •* is Everything,’’be- '
ing biassed neither by fear, favor nor auction,
in favor of parties or sects. In this respect it ■
is Only necessary to say' that the past, affords a ■
fair index as to our future course.
It has always been our aim to make the Tri
bune, a reliable first-class Local Paper,. as we
believe that in that character alone, country pa-
pers can successfully compete with their, flashy ;
city,neighbors. To this end wo have secured
correspondents in various ports of the county,
who furnish us with all the items of local inter*
eat in their vicinity. We purpose addingotlsr&
to oar list as soon as we can obtain them. Du
ring the next year we abrill redouble our efforts*
to make the Tribune a perfect compendium of •'
Home News —\ reliable, Local :
Paper, second to none in the ommtry, and as.
such a welcome weekly visitor to our patrons, ■
whethcr' at home or abroad.
■ But while t\ie‘Local Department shall bo our

our contributors. We have made arrangements
also to have a weekly letter from Philadelphia,
and judging from the reputation our correspon
dent sustains ns a popular writer, these letters
will be a rich treat to our readers.
As we are decidedly journalists .of the pro
gressive school, we liuve concluded to adopt the
cash system jin pur business. The neglect of
quite a number of our patrons to pay up prompt
ly ■ and the rascality of others, has compelled
us to adopt, this course. Time and experience
has fully proved to our satisfaction th* t the
credit system will not work with newspaper
publishers.. From this date no paper will be
sent from this paid for in advance,
and at the eapjration of the time paid for, if
nut renewed, will he promptly stopped.' TLli
arrangement does no iiyuatice to our patrons,
while, it will protect us from the impositions of
soulless scoundrels, and enable us to devote
more attention to our paper.
Recognizing, the principle that contracts to
he satisfactory should bo fraught with mutual
benefit to both parties, and as mopoy in large
amounts/ 1 in advance, la of uiore value to ns than.,
