keepers are beginning to wear a holiday

Quite a heavy rain and wind storm set in
at a late hour on Sunday night, which pre
vailed until about five o'clock on Monday
morning, when it cleared off and the sun shone
out with a warmth and brilliancy which would
have done no discredit to the balmy days of
October.
A polar wave struck this place on Thanks

arrangements for having a good time.
Mrs. Margaret Harris, a colored lady who

expiring. Her death was cause, we under
stand, by hearr disease.

On the fourth page of this week's JOURNAL
we publish an article from the Bedford In
quirer, giving the result of an investigation,
by a representative of the State Board of
Agriculture, into tue causes, of hog
cholera, now prevailing to an alarming extent
n that county, to which we ask the attention
jot' every farmer in Huntingdon county. Read
it, and if your neighbor is not a patron of the
"handsomest and best paper in the county,"
hand it to him to read.
John McClure, warden of the Blair county.
prison, treated the prisoners confined therein
to a big feed on Thanksgiving day. It re
quired three large turkeys, two bushels of
doughnuts, twenty-five mince pies, and other
etceteras to do it. Mr. McClure and his good
wle are in the habit of giving the unfortunate
under their charge a dinner of this kind once
a year, either on Thanksgiving day or Christ
mas, which shows that they have hearts to
feel for the wayward ones of earth.
Our farmer friends have their patience and
good nature sorely taxed when they come to
town with apples fo‘r market, by the bad boys
who crowd their wagons as thick as flies
about a molasses barrel, watching their op
portunity to fill their pockets with the tempt
ing fruit. We have a half-dozen of boys
about town who seem to be professionals in
this business, and unless they mend their
ways we make the prediction that before
many years hence they will be incarcerated
in some prison.
The tramps are already becoming very bold
in their acts of lawlessness. The other night
as Galbraith's omnibus was on its way from
the railroad station to Lew . istown, three or
four tramps stole a satchel from the baggage
cart attached to it, and was making off with
their booty, when the driver gave chase, and
coming too close upon them the nomads sat
the satchel down and made their escape. If
they are thus bold in the early fall what may
we expect of them when the weather grows
more severe? They will require the closest
kind of watching.
We assure Brother Lindsay that we are not
ashamed of letting the amount of our bill be
known for publishing the election proclama
tion, unless it should be through fear that
other members of the craft should charge us
with "ratting," for the sum paid was not
enough for the amount of work done. An
officer of the Law gave us the matter to pub
lish, and we did not "take pay for more than
the law allows." But if Bro. Lindsay only
"had the type and the room he would show
those fellows who would publish the election
proclamation." Sour grapes.
The ringing of the court house bell, at 5
o'clock on Saturday morning, caused many a
sleepy citizen to reluctantly and hurriedly
leave his comfortable quarters under the belief
that the bell was sounding a fire alarm. Par
ticularly was this the case with the "Hunting
don" boys, one of whom had donned his heavy
boots, fireman's shirt, etc., and was leaving
his room on a double-quick, when his wife
informed him that it was the court house bell,
ringing, she presumed, to convene the Court
to receive the verdict of the jury in the case
of the Houtz heirs vs. the Kittanning Coal
Company.
The Lewistown Sentinel, of last week, after
publishing and commenting on the out-of
place and ill-timed article which appeared in
the Local News of the 25th ult., on the peni
tentiary question, gives the gentlemen compos
ing the Commission a left-handed-slap and
insult by intimating that "unworthy motives''
prompted them in selecting Huntingdon as the
site for the proposed institution, has the im
pudence to ask the Commission to discard
Huntingdon and select Lewistown as the site.
For "cool" things, this request surpasses the
breezes that are wafted from the region where
repose the bones of Sir John Franklin.
LIABILITY OF ROAD COMMISSION ERS•
—The Supreme Court of this State has re
cently decided a case of interest to Road Com
missioners and Supervisors. The case was
appealed from the Common Pleas of Schuyl
kill county. The plaintiff brought suit to re
cover damages for the death of her husband,
the same haying been caused, as alleged,
through negligence of defendants in not pro
viding a safe road. The evidence was that
where the accident occurred the road was
barely of sufficient width to allow two vehicles
to pass. A wagon was standing on oue side
of the road and on the other the end of a log
protruded, and in attempting to drive between
the two the husband of the plaintiff struck the
end of the log and was thrown out and killed.
lu the court below a verdict was rendered
against the township, which was appealed to
the Supreme Court on the ground that, as the
supervisors had let the road out for repairs to
the lowest bidder, who had given bonds to
fulfill his contract, that fact relieved the su
pervisors from responsibility; the bond having
stipulated to save the township from all ac
cidents. The court, however, decided against
this view of the case and held the township
liable on the general principle that if a jury
believe a road to be unsafe for travel, let the
cause be what it may, it is evidence of negli
gence and the township is responsible.
A HEAVY VERDICT.---The jury in the
suit of Dr. D. R. Good, Trustee under the will
of Dr. Houtz, deed., brought against H. 11.
Shillingford, rendered a verdict on Saturday
morning last for $29,034.25 for the plaintiff.
This case occupied the time of the Court from
the 18th to the 30th ult., and as a large sum
of money was involved the result was looked
forward to with a great deal of interest. A
motion for a new trial, with permission to
file reasons, was immediately made by Mr.
Bailey, one of the counsel for the defendant.
As a matter of course the case will go to the
Supreme Court.

SPORTING NOTES
John McCoy gobbled five rabbits on Satur
day last.
Partridges sell at $2 per dozen in the Har
risburg market.
On Saturday last ilon•ard Decker, of this
place, killed a sixteen-pound wild turkey - , 2
pheasants and one rabbit.
Quite a number of our sportsmen spent
Thanksgiving day in the woods, but we bare
received no report of the amount of game
taken by them.
A gentleman named Zeigler, residing in
Buffalo township, Perry county, shot two wild
turkeys at one shot, a day or two ago, weigh
ing respectively 19 and 19i pounds. Ile made
this extraordinary good shot with an old army
musket.
A turkey which attempted to make his
escape the other day, to avoid the axa of
the executioner, and took refuge on the roof
of Dad Lewis' grocery, was brought from his
perch by a well directed shot from Frank W.
Stewart's doubled barreled fowling piece.
John Henry, of Ilarree township, on Thurs
day evening of last week, killed a four-pronged
buck, weighing 132 pounds, on Warrior Ridge,
Mr. Henry is a crack :hot and a good hunter,
this being the second deer which he has
brought down this fall, besides a number Of
wild turkeys and smaller game.
[Toward floltzworth, of this borough, who
had been on a ten days' hunt in the lower end
of the county, returned home, on Saturday
last, loaded down with trophies of the chase.
During the ten days he killed 120 partridges,
7 rabbits, 5 pheasants, 1 ground-hog and 1
wild turkey. A pretty good showing this, for
an amateur.
A writer in some of the eastern papers rec
ommends the sowing of wild rice in our rivers
as a protection to fish against the depreda
tions of the pirates who still persist in fishing
with seines, notwithstanding the law strictly
prohibits it. If rice were sown in the Juniata,
in a few years it would grow so thick that it
would be impossible to pull a seine through
it, and whilst it would protect the fish it
would also afford food for all kinds of water
fon l, and would be the, means of bringing them
to our river in innumerable numbers, thus
giving the poor cheap food and at the same
time affording any amount of amusement for
our sportsmen. The idea is respectfully re
ferred to the members of the .Game Associa
tion of this place.
Rev. McMurray, of the M. E. church, last
week returned from his annual deer hunt.—
The party was composed of gentlemen, who
every year, meet at Philipsburg, and under
the leadership of Mr. J. F. Steiner spend a
week in the mountains. One deer was killed
by the party, but it did not this time fall to
the lot of Rev. McMurray. He shot at one
and it dropped as though it was dead ; he
stood still a moment with the other barrel of
his gun in readiness and then concluding
that it was dead started to walk carelessly
toward it. All of a sudden it gave a bound
and away it went unharmed by the load of
buck shot that followed after. It had been
struck on the head at the first shot and stunned
and if Mr. McMurray had not felt so certain of
its being dead he could easily have secured it
before it came to so far as to be able to escape.

DEATII OF COL. E. L. EVERHAR.T.—On
Friday morning last a telegram, announcing
the sudden death of Col. Everhart, at Harris
burg, the night previous, was received here,
and the sad intelligence cast a gloom over the
community, as the deceased had many warm
personal friends in this place who were pained
and shocked at the intelligence of his sudden
and unexpected death. For a number of years
Cbl. Everhart was a resident of our town,
where be was esteemed and respected by all
who knew him. The Patriot, of Saturday,
says :
Col. Everhart was taken ill about a week
ago, the result of a severe cold contracted a
short time previously while ou a visit to Hun
tingdon county. The cold culminated in
ulceration of the bowels. lie was attended
by skillful physicians, but his recovery was
net within the power of human agencies. Col.
Everhart bore an excellent reputation as a
citizen of Huntingdon and was always re•
garded as one of the staunchest democrats of
the above county. On assuming the duties of
auditor general Lion. W. P. Schell -selected
him as one of his clerks, a position for which
he was eminently adapted. He performed his
duties faithfully and well, as his books show,
and won the esteem of all with whom he came
in official and social contact. The deceased
was born in Mifflin county. but passed most
of his life in Huntingdon, from which he was
appointed a clerk iu the auditor general's de
partment. He was a brother of Hon. J. C.
Everhart, who represented Blair county in the
legislature in 1875 and 1876.
A meeting of the clerks and employees of
the Auditor General's department was held on
Friday afternoon, and after a brief speech by
Auditor General Schell, recounting the many
good qualities of the deceased, the following
resolutions were adopted :
WHEREAS, Death has suddenly removed
from among us Col. Eli L. Everhart, registry
clerk in this office:
And whereas, By his integrity and sterling
moral worth he won the confidence, esteem
and friendship of all his associates, we, who
were intimately connected with him socially
and officially, desiring to bear testimony of
our appreciation of him as a man and citizen
and to give expression to our sentiments ; it is
Resolved, That in the death of the deceased
the State has lost a faithful public servant, his
associates a true friend and wise counselor
and the community a valued citizen.
Resolved, That our heartfelt sympathy is
extended to the griefstricken son and relatives
of the deceased in this their sad bereavement.
Resolved, That the desk of our deceased
brother be draped in mourning for the space
of thirty days.
Resolved, That we will attend the funeral in
a body and invite the other departments in
the state service to join with us in the solemn
obsequies.
Resolved, That a committee of six of the
employees of this office be appointed to ac
company the remains to their final resting
place at Martinsburg.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the son of the deceased and that a
copy be furnished the Harrisburg city papers
and the Huntingdon papers for publication.
The remains were taken to Martinsburg for
interment, and were consigned to their final
resting place on Sunday forenoon. A number
of the clerks attached to the Auditor General's
office accompanied them to Martinsburg,. At
this place the cortege was joined by Col. John
S. Miller and daughter, and John 0. Murray,
esq., and wife. The funeral is said to have
been the largest ever seen in that place.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT —An esteemed
correspondent writes us from Robertsdale,
this county, under date of Nov. 28th, as fol
lows:
A terrible accident occurred here yesterday,
to an old woman, Mrs. Branigau. She had
been drinking pretty freely, and is supposed
to have spilled some of the liquor on the stove,
when it took fire, burning her to a crisp, from
the neck to the waist. Her clothes were en
tirely burned off her body, and all the skin
fell off that was not burned off. She laughed
and talked while the Doctordressed the burns,
and did not know until five hours after, that
she had been burned at all. She suffered
severely for an hour after she became sober,
when death relieved her. She was eighty-five
years of age, and it was the first time she had
ever had a professional call from a physician.
She was hearty, did all her own work, and
might easily have lived to be a centenarian.
It is bad enough to sell whiskey to men, but
it is an outrage to sell to a Voroan of that
age, in her second childhood. And it was not
only sold to her, but delivered at the house by
the liquor dealer.

THE BOARD OF TRADE AND THE PENI
TENTIARY.—A meeting of the Board of Trade
was held on Saturday evening last to devise
ways and means to raise the amount of money
necessary to purchase the site for the peni
tentiary at Huntingdon. Mr. Lindsay, who is
Secretary of the Board, gives the following
report of said meeting :
lion. Alex. Port, who had been present at
the meeting of the Penitentiary Commission
in the city of Pittsburgh, last Tuesday, report
ed that the Commission adopted a resolution
confirming the decision made in Philadelphia
locating the penitentiary at this place, and
that they had decided to accept the second
preposition, which was for the citizens to
purchase the site, etc., at a cost of $8,500.
This sum Mr. Port pledged himself to raise.
H t also read a letter from Capt. Hart, the
Secretary of the Commission, dated on the
29'th, in which he said Mr. McPherson, the
Attorney, would be in Huntingdon on Decem
bar, 9th, and advised our people to go ahead
that the transfer of deeds may be made.
Remarks were made by Messrs. Blair, Brown,
Henry, Fisher, and others, when on motion of
Hon. H. G. Fisher it was unanimously resolved
that a committee of fifteen citizens be appoint
ed to secure subscriptions throughout the
county.
The following gentlemea were appointed
the Committee to take subscriptions : H. G.
Fisher, J. Hall Musser, A. Kennedy, H. C.
Weaver. Geo. B. Orlady, J. R. Simpson, Geo.
W. Garrettson, A. Elliott, of Huntingdon ;
S. P. Brumbaugh, James Creek ; A. G. Neff,
Porter twp. ; John S. Warfel, Henderson ;
David. Weaver, Hopewell ; B. R. Foust,
Milleek : James Foster, Oneida ; Benj.
Heffner, Walker ; John Merely, Union.
On motion of Dr. R. A. Miller. Messrs. David
Blair and John M. Bailey were appointed to
draw up the subscription paper.
The gentlemen appointed to solicit sub
scriptions have been busily at work, and up to
the time we close our forms have raised about
$6,500. We think we are safe in saying that
the whole amount will be raised, and that the
penitentiary will be built at Huntingdon,
notwithstanding the efforts made by some of
our citizens to throw cold water on every
measure looking to this desirable end.
TEACHERS' INSTITUTE —Huntingdon
County Teachers' Institute will hold its next
annual session in the usual place, December
16th to 20th, 1878. We have not a full pro

7. Moral training in public schools.
8. General Information.
9. Should principles of civil government be
taught in our public schools?
10. What kind of an education is necessary
to make good American citizens ? •

to forming and cultivating in their pupils
habits of cleanliness and neatness—tidiness ?

CURE FOR HOG DISEASE.—In view of
the fact that a fatal disease has broken out
among the hogs in several parts of the State,
we give place to the following remedy, as we
find it in the Altoona Tribune, of a recent date.
The writer is Mr. S. L. Shaw, general agent
of the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad,
who is extensively engaged in raising hogs in
the west, The letter is dated at our town
and says :
"I would state that so far as my experience
and observation in hog raising goes not one
in ten of the hogs that die of 'hog cholera'
ever had such a disease. It is simply a species
of quinsy which is caused by cold or chills,
and gradually extends to the lungs and often
terminates in a kind of diarrhoea. If one of
your physicians will open the throat of a dis
eased hog I am satisfied he will find this to be
the case. If the farmer will mix up the fol
lowing dose and feed it to hogs, scattered over
gone-coal (bituminous) they will chew it and
set it well in the mouth and throat, and it
will cure nine out of ten if taken in time :
One-third spirits of turpentine ; one-third
kerosene oil - '
one third sweet oil. If well
along give a dose of boneset in feed. I feed
well hogs the same, and also copperas water
in moderate quantities. If you will add to
the above an equal proportion of spirits of
ammonia it makes a fine liniment for the
throat. I have not lost a single hog in three
years (by using the above) from this disease.
It nearly always begins with a backing kind
of throat cough. The old saying, 'an ounce
of prevention,' etc., is very appropriate here:,
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-011 Thursday last
a colored man who resides with his wife at
Jack's Spring, near this place, returned home
from hunting, and requested his wifs to re
move a coat from the gun, which he had
wrapped around it to keep it dry. In doing
so the hammer was accidentally struck against
the door which caused the discharge of the
gun, the contents entering the woman's leg
near the knee, causing a fearful wutind. M
last accounts she was lying in a critical con

AN EXTENSIVE ESTABLISHMENT.—
A correspondent writes us as follows :
Lately, while in Philadelphia, after visiting
various places of note, we were advised by a
lady friend to spend an hour in inspecting the
great dry goods establishment of Messrs.
Strawbridge & Clothier. Knowing this house
to be a very popular one with the people of
Huntingdon county, and thatour observations
would be of interest to our lady readers, we
concluded to do so.
the new structure (erected last summer) is
on 3 of the handsomest specimens of mercan
tile architecture we have ever seen, and, huge
as it is, we saw as we passed into the interior
that it no more than comfortably accommo
dated the army of buyers that besieged every
department on the first floor. Everything
about the room is plain and massive, and
adapted for its business use only. The gen
eral appearance is very effective. On this floor
are the many departments devoted to the sale
of Silks, Dress Goods, Black Goods, Cloths,
Hosiery, Underwear, Prints, Dress Trimmings,
Gloves, and numerous other articles.
We recognized many familiar faces in the
crowd, but, without stopping to converse, de
scended by a broad and spacious stairway into
a handsome room, a great part of which is
under the street, and ::!rowds of people daily
walk over one of the busiest scenes in Phila
delphia. By means of patent lights this room
is as well lighted as the one above. Here we
found Muslins, Linens, Iloosefurnishing Need,
Flannels, Blankets, Quilts, Carriage Robes,
etc., each being kept in a separate department,
and having a counter and sales people for its
exclusive sale.
In the pilotage of a gentleman connected
with the house we re-ascended the stairway,
and stepping into a handsomely furnished el
evator, in a moment were lifted to the second
floor. This room, handsomely carpeted and
furnished, is undoubtedly one of the finest
salesrooms in the United States. It is devo
ted to the sale of Ladies' ready made garments
of all descriptions ; suits, shawls, cloaks,
wraps, and numerous other articles of dress,
besides Misses',
Children's, and Little Boys'
Clothing and Ladies' underwear. This spa
dons and beautiful salesroom presented an
appearance of wonderful activity, and the
spectacle was one of great interest to the look
er-on.
Another story ascended and we are in a de
partment of more interest to us than anything
before seen—the Mail Order Department, thro'
which the wants of distant customers are sup
plied. The demand for samples of various kinds
of dry goods has grown to such proportions
that hand labor was found inadequate to make
the great quantity daily needed, and machines
are now used for the purpose. The rapidity
with which yards of fabrics can be converted
into samples, ticketed with width and price, is
astonishing. We saw innumerable yards of
si,ks and fine dress goods, as well as less cost
ly materials, ready to be run through the ma
clines, and as many more made into samples.
We were informed that thousands of yards of
all kinds of fabrics are annually converted in
to samples, and that requests for them are re
ceived daily from almost every State and Ter
ritory of the Union. The huge pile of packa
ges that we saw ready for the mail and ex
press, was evidence that a-large proportion of
the requests for samples come back orders.
Several of these bundles were addressed to
people in our county.
After witnessing the perfect system in this
department we are persuaded that it is almost
useless for ladies living away from the city to
visit it to do their shopping, so perfectly can
their needs be supplied by this firm's system
of attending to mail orders.
We have already occupied more space than
we intended, so we close, advising all who go
to Philadelphia "sight-seeing" to visit, as one
of the most interesting places, the vast estab-
Lshment of Strawbridge Clothier.
A CERTAIN HEADACHE CIIRE.—If you suffer
from sick or nervous headache, morning sick
ness or neuralgia, go to your druggist and get
a ten cent trial pack of Dr. Heisley's Victor
Headache Powders, or J. R. Heisley & Co.,
Salem, N. J., will mail them post paid. A sin
gle powder actually cures the most distress
ing cases in ten minutes. It is purely vege
table, entirely harmless, a physician's discov
ery and we guarantee it to do all we claim.
You can get the 50 cent packs or the 10 cent
trial size at J. H. Black & Co. in Huntingdon,
and at all other first-class druggists every
where. Convince yourself. [jan26-ly

THE LEADING AMERICAN NEWSPAPER.
The New-York Tribune,
For 1579 THE TRIBUNE hopes to continue with increas
ing soccess, the work and the methods which through the
year now ending have won such popular approval and
home such ample fruit.
A year ago Tun TRIBUNE pointed out the danger to the
tranquility of the country, to the Treasury, the currency
and the National honor, from the alliance then forming
between the Solid South and Tammany Hall. It declared
that against this danger, the old party of freedom, still
the party of the Churches and the Schoolhouses, was the
only bulwark; and in behalf of that party, it renewed the
old appeal to the National conscience, and the enlightened
self-interest of the tax-payers.
In all this events have justified it. The year has disclos
ed the danger TiH TRIBUNE predicted, and brought the de
liverance it promised. It now asks those who think well
of what it did in this eventful year to help widen yet fur;
t her its influence by increasing its circulation for the next.
It labored to harmonize the Republican party; to di
vert Republicans from attacks upon each other to attacks
upon the common enemy. It exposed Southern claims. It
denounced the Southern suppression of the negro vote. It
resisted debasement of the currency. It endeavored to
sustain the Treasury in advancing to specie payments. It
strove to promote a practical reform in the Civil Service.
It vindicated the legitimacy of the Republican Adminis
tration. It crushed assailants by demonstrating the in
famous efforts of the Democratic leaders to tiny the Presi
dency they had fairly lost at the polls. For these services
a distinguished member of the Administration has declar
ed that the Republican par.} , and the country owe Tam
TRIBUNE a debt of gratitude so great that, despairing of
full payment immediately, they must imitate the Treasury
and fund it Leading Republicans outside of and even
opposed to the Administration, are everywhere heartily
expressing similar opinions.
THE TRIBUNE now warns the country that inspiring as
the late elections have been, they do not end the danger.
The Democrats and theGreenbackera, if united, could have
reversed the verdict. They may lie united next time. They
already have the Solid South to begin with, as well as the
evidence of the control their union would give in many
of the Western States. To prevent such a union front
sweeping the country, we must keep the Republican par
ty in the highest state of discipline and efficiency, and
must educate the voters. If friends know any better agen
cy for such political education than THE TRIBUNE, by all
means use it; if not, they surely ought to make every ef
fort to push THE TsIBUNE'S circulation.
Tan TRIBUNC is now spending more labor and money
than ever before to deserve the distinction it has long en
joyed of the largest circulation among the beet people. It
is the only newspaper in the country maintaining a special
telegraphic wire of its own between its office and the Na
tional Capital. Its Washington dispatches are much the
fullest anywhere published. Its London correspondent,
Geo. W. Smalley, is recognised as the foremost in that field,
on the American Press. Its other foreign correspondence
ranks exceptionally high. Its scientific, religious and lit
erary intelligence is often fuller, and generally more new
sy than that furnished by journals expressly devoted to
these specialties. Its critical dedartments, all conducted
by the old heads, remain the acknowledged authorities

Art Clarence Cook.
TIDE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE
Is specially adapted to the large class of intelligent read
ers too far from New York to depend on its papers for the
daily news, who nevertheless want the editorials, corres
pondence, book-reviews, scientific matter, lectures, litera
ry miscellany, etc., for which the TRIBUNE is famous. This
is the cheapest, and, fur remote country readers, the best
edition of THE TRIBUNE published. It contains 16 pages,
and is in convenient form for bindinz. It is far the most
successful Semi-Weekly in the country—having four times
the circulation of any other in New York.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
Remains the great favorite for our substantial country
population. A high authority has maid of It that "Tag
WUKLY TRIBUNE has done moretn make good farmers and
good citizens than any other single influence thathas ever
existed in this country." It is now larger than any of its
rivals ; its new form (16 pages, carefully indexed and suit
able for binding), has proved exceedingly popular, and its
tarp, clear type, so different from that of most papers of
its class, is a special attraction. Its agriculture depart
ment, under the special management of an el,perienced
agricultural editor, with a staff of several assistants, and a
large corps of special contributors, is more carefully con
ducted than ever, and it has always been considered the
best. Its market reports are the official standard for the
Dairymen's Association, and have long been the recogniz
ed authority on cattle, grain and general country produce.
There are special departments for the young, and for
household interests ; while poetry, fiction, and humors of
the day are all abundantly supplied. During the ensuing
year there may also be expected, among many other feat
ures': (1.) Some Personal Reminiscences of Early A net-
Slavery Work, by Oliver Johnson ; (2.) Further aintribu
lions on Southern Agriculture, by Solon Robinson ; (3.) Oc
casional Pipers on Current Topics, by the Rev. Juo Hall,
D. D.; (4.)Occamional contributions by (tail Hamilton ; and
other attractive matter from writers of equal note,
TWO PAPERS IN ONE,
THE Wismar TRIBUNE is now no arranged as to make
TWO COMPLETE AND SEPARATE PAPERS of eight pages each,
the first containing the news amid politic.; the second. the
correspondence , fiction, poetry, household departments,
etc. Itovit SIDER or THE FAMILY can thus enjoy the paper
at the same time During the past year readers have lound
this a specially attractive and convenient feature.
NO RIVALS TO COMPARE IT WITH.
Both Weekly and Semi-Weekly Tribune are now entirely
unlike the corresponding tames from any other daily office
in New York—wholly different in form and appearance,
with larger type, and only comparable to the three and
four dollar religions or literary journals. The price, how
ever, remains 80 far below Skein as to defy competition ;
and the premiums are more valuable and substantial than
have ever been offered by other newspaper..

THE GREAT PREMIUM.
WEBSTER'S UNABRIDGED FREE.
Last year The Tribune offered to five years' single sub
scribers the unprecedented gift of Webster's raabridged
Quarto Pictorial Dictionary, which retails in all boot -
stores for *l2. The offer proved probably the greatest
success in the history of newspaper premiums. Tax
THOUSAND of these huge Dictionaries were distributed,
and not one single subscriber complained that he was
dissatisfied with his premium. We have at last succeed
ed in renewing the very favorable contract with the
publishers (which alone enabled us to offer this magnifi
cent premium), UNTIL APRIL 1, 1879. The publishers
positively reins to let it extend beyond that time. We
therefore urge all to avail themselves of the offer at
once, and to advise their friends and neighbors of the
opportunity. We are extending the terms of the offer,
this year, a little, as follows:
We will send Webster's Unabridged Pictorial Quarto
Dictionary (edition of 1879),) bound in sheep, the latest
and best edition, as a gift to any one remitting us

We believe this to be the most valuable and liberal news
paper premium ever offered. We cannot make it any more
liberal, and to avoid useless correspondence we give notice
that the dictionary will only be sent on exact compliance
with the above terms. It is not offered, under any circum
stances, to persona remitting for clubs at regular clui
rates. We do, however, make the fallowing liberal offer of
