Up to going to press, two persons have paid their bills, and two more have promised. Four people out of five hundred ! And yet some think that we ought not to dun our subscribers through the paper. If we could live on wind, and pay our bills with promises never fulfilled, we wouldn't have to dun anybody.

It is hoped that attention will not have to be called to the matter again. 36tb Annual Fall Opening and Exhibition of Importations, The great mercantile house of Jonas Long s sons, whose weekly Chats are so eagerly read by the readers of the Columbian, announce their Grand Fall Opening of millinery goods, dress novelties, silks and carpets.
