Grant being the Repub Roan candidate for President in 1880, and in looking over the field for a competitor it thinks that Gen. Hancock is the man to lead the Democracy out of the political wilderness. Hancock would not afford common amusement for the Republicans in the coming Presidential contest. EIGHT columns of the inside pages of last week's Bellefonte Republican is taken up with Hon. Seth Y. Yocum's answer to the "War Governor's" allegations made in his contest for Mr. Yocum's seat in the next Congress. There will be some rich developments in the course of this contest, and some of them it is said will be very damaging to Curtin and his supporters. We will wait and see. AND now Peter Herdic, of Williamsport, turns up among the missing, and his where. abouts is a mystery. One theory is that in disguise he boarded a midnight train for Philadelphia, and from there took pas sage in the steamer Illinois for Liverpool. His family insist that he has gone to Flor ida for the benefit of his impaired health. Another rumor has it that on account of his financial troubles he has become insane and is now an inmate of an asylum. PROF. FROBISHER, who claims to have had twenty years experience in teaching, has established a college in the city of New York in which elocution, vocal cut ture and dramatic art are taught in con nection with other branches of learning. Clergymen, lawyers, teachers and artists for the stage can fit themselves in this in stitution for either of these callings. Any information desired will be furnished by addressing J. E. Frobisher, New York City. THE late labor riots in this State cost the people of Pennsylvania one million of dollars, and yet we have men who set themselves up as educators of the people, who wink at such lawlessness and write columns of stuff laudatory of the ruffians and outlaws who murdered, robbed and burned during that reign of terror. The man who sanctions such lawlessness is no better than the black-hearted fiend who cuts the throat of his fellow or applies the torch to his neighbor's property. DO YOU WANT TO GO BACK 7—Now, then, gentlemen of the Greenback persua sion, greenbacks are up to gold. Do you want to reduce their value ? They are re ceivable for customs duties. Do you wish to degrade them so that they shall not be so receivable ? They will pay the matured coupons on the bonds of the United States. Do you wish to re-establish one money for the bondholder and another and inferior money for they. people at large ? Now is your time to disband your ridiculous Green back party and join the nation in its march on the old specie basis to renewed and solid prosperity.—Cincinnati Commercial. THE Greenbackers at Harrisburg have nominated that superanuated political fos sil, ex-Judge Daniel Agnew for United States Senator. They have addressed him a letter, notifying him of his nomination and propounding a series of questions, which he is expected to answer satisfactor ily to both the Greenbackers and Demo 0.-ats, in which case he will very probably b 3 the candidate of both parties ; but un less there are fourteen Benedict Arnolds in the Republican delegation in the Leg islature, his nomination will prove an empty honor. There is no republican who can afford to cast his vote for Agnew in stead of Mr. Cameron, the caucus nominee of the party. While Agnew has turned traitor to the party that has kept him in once nearly all his life, Mr. Cameron has sod by Republican principles and con anues to battle for the success of the party •that carries the flag and keeps step to the music of the Union." TIIE INAUGURATION —Programme of the Inaugural Ceremonies at Harrisburg, January 21.—The indications are t%at the inauguration of Gen. Hoyt, which will take place on the 21st of this month at Harrisburg, will exceed any similar event in the point of brilliancy and the numbers in attendance. Editor. The programme for the inaugural core monies has been announced as follows : en Monday night, January 20, a full dress reception and hop. tendered to Gen. Hoyt by the Young' Men's Republican Club of Harrisburg, will take place in the Opera House. Gov. Hartranft and staff will be present with Governor-elect Hoyt On Tuesday morning at nine o'clock the military and civic organization will form on Market street ready for parade, under direction of the Chief Marshal, whose headquarters will be at the Lochiel Hotel. At ten o'clock precisely the parade will move, passing over a short route to West State street, where the line will be reviewed by the outgoing and iu coming Governors on their way to the grand stand at the main entrance to the Capitol building. Here the inaugural ,cr vices will be concluded with the inaugural addess and the administration of the oath of office to the Governor-elect by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. At three o'clock in the afternoon the Senate and Howie of Representatives will vote for United States Senator in their respective halls. In the evening a grand display of fire works will take place in the Capitol park. after which Gov Hoyt will hold a public reception at the Executive Mansion. ' WAITING FOR THE VERDICT."—Tho only case tried this week, in which there was much interest manifested, was the one brought by Hon. it M. Speer against Al. 'Tyhurst, esq., editor of the Globe, for Ebel. In the heat of the last campaign Mr Tyhurst published an article, under the caption of Who Robbed Jimmy Walls ?" in which he made some grave charges against Mr. Speer. An action for libel was brought, and the case was tried on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Messrs. Speer and Bailey representing the prosecution and W. H. Woods, esq , and Gen Beaver, of Centre county, defending Mr. Tyhurst A number of witnesses were examined on both sides. The case was given to the jury wn Tuesday night. and after a brief deliberation a verdict was agreed upon which, under inAructions of the Court, was sealed and brought into Court at 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning. The finding of the jury was that the de fendant was not guilty and that the costs be paid jointly by the prosecutor and the defendan t THE January No. of The Pe,insy!va nia ,School Journal is received. The leading article upon "Stars and Star Groups of Our Winter Heavens," embracing some ten or twelve pages, is very suggestive and satisfactory. With the aid of the numbered Star List, the diagrams, and the lines of direction and distance which it contains, any person of average ability may learn all the leading stars and constellations now above the horizon. To many persons this article alone will be worth much more than a year's subscription. It is a matter of surprise that people, of ordinary intelli gence, should live all their lives "under the stars," and be content to know noth ing about them. The practical report of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction is also found in this number. The sub scription price of The Journal is $1 60 per year, postage prepaid. Address the pub lishers,J. P. Wickersham & Co., Lancaster, Pa. THE National Monitor is the name of the paper presided over by our old friend B. F. Fries, esq., formerly of the _Nation alist. It is published at Reading, and is after the style of the paper he started here, half of it printed on the 'patent outside" plan, and part of it in Reading. We hope our old friend may prosper financially. He received scurvy treatment while in this town simply because be would not consent to play clown in the Democratic side-show, but friend Fries was a Greenbacker from principle, and no amount of promised Democratic "assist ance" could induce him to betray his party into the support of the Democracy. The new paper is quite readable, and a liberal amount of advertising patronage seems to be extended to it. THE publisher of that embodiment of nastiness and filth, known throughout the county as the Natio/az/id, and used as a tail to the Democratic kite, would like to place us among the same species of ani mals to which he belongs, and therefore he calls us a ''monkey." There's richness for you. Had he glanced in his mil r3r he would have called us a babboon. When you Fee this fellow scan his countenance closely, and if you don't see more ape than human in it we will agree that we are not much of a physiognomist. To be "branded as a liar" by such a creature amounts to nothing. If forced to do so we can "give the circumstances, the price and details," and in addition, the place, the (late, etc., for not doing certain things. To THE exclusion of our usual large and varied assortment of miscellaneous reading matter, we this week give up the outside pages of the JOURNAL to the last annual mes sage of Governor Ilartranft, a careful reading of which will amply repay any one. It is a document which every citizen can read with profit, and we hope every reader of the JOURNAL will not fail to peruse carefully the utterances of a man who understands thoroughly the questions treated, THE fall campaign will be rather flai this year. The only State of4cer we wii have to elect will be a Treasurer. Buy wait until 1880, and then there will -'music in the air." THE Fulton Republican hits the bull's eye when it styles " advertising agents, "Sharks." As a general thing they are "dead beats," who live off country publish- IT is expected that five thousand troops will be in line on the occasion of the ivau guration of Gov. Hoyt, on Tuesday next. A SPECIAL dispatch to the Uarrisburg Telegraph front Washington says that a letter has been received by a gentleman in that city who was intimately assw,dated with General Grant when President. that the accounts from Springfield or the wove went to wake Grant a United States Sen ator from Illinois, has woe in it than some people are willing .to almit, and in the event or the friends of Logan, Ogeisby and Gtrwell kilinz to succeed after a fair test of strength, that they will unite on Grant and elect him, which they claim can be done, as the Republicans in the Legislature are not hostile to the move went as a final settlement of the cohtest. TUE New York Tribune calls attention to the fact that in the first number of John W. Forney's Progress a biography of Louis A Godey appeared and soon after Mr. Godly died; in the second or third number a biographical sketch of the Hon. Caleb Cushing was given and now he is dead Last week a sketch of Morton McMichael appeared in the Piogress, and now that gentleman is dead. These coin cidences, will make men, and especially old ones, fight shy of biographical notice in Progress.

Instead of getting a cheap thing. as the price would seem to indicate, they will receive a very hand some work of 100 pages, and perhaps 500 illustrations—not cheap, but elegant illus trations, on the very best of calandered paper, and as a set-off to the whole, an elegant Colored Plate, that we would judge cost twice the price of the book. STRANGLED TO DEATH. Flung With a Reprieve at the Prison Doors. HUNTER, SHARPE. MCDONNZLL AND DOWD PAY THE PENELTY OF THEIR CRIMES. The execution of Benjamin Hunter for the murder of John M. Armstrong took place in the county prison at Camden, N. J, on Friday last. His was a shameful and cruel death, owing to a blunder by some one who had arranged the rope Oa Sunday night, the condemned seeing no earthly chance to escape the ignominious end in store for him attempted to commit suicide by cutting the veins in his ankles with a piece of tin. From the wounds thus inflioted he lost about two pints of blood, and from the loss of which he be came so weak, that by some it was believed the gallows would be cheated of its victim. The parting with his family was a most distressine , scene. His poor wife, utterly heartbroken, evidently, cried and sobbed like a child, and all the others were simi larly affected. Even the keepers, used as they had been to disheartening scenes, were moved to tears, and were obliged to show how they felt the terrible pressure. Brit Hunter showed neither affection nor emotion. Stolid and cold, he saw them de part without a pang, and it was only when one cf the keepers took the prisoner's drooping arm and placed his hand on that of his wife that the last clasp was given. and Hunter separated from his wife and family to meet no more on earth. Revs. Dr. Allen and Kunklewan, were with the prisoner in his last hours and administered the consolations of religion, but he seem ed indifferent to their ministrations. The scene of the execution was in the jail, the corridors of which cross each other at right l angles, and in the square formed by the intersection of the corridors was the spot where he met his end. Immediately over this spot is the court room where Hunter was tried. One hundred and sixty people— embracing officials, reporters, and friends of the Sheriff—filled the wings of these passage ways, to witness the hanging. The rope dangled through an auger hole in the ceiling and was carried along the upper floor, then down again into the corridor, ten feet away, where was attached a weight of about 400 pounds. This weight was held up by a second rope, the cutting of which would permit it to descend, thus jerking the doomed man into the air. At 25 minutes past eleven o'clock, Sheriff Calhoun entered Hunter's cell to tell him his hour had come. But Hunter made no reply ; his head had fallen on his breast; his hands hung idly by his side and his form was limp and almost lifeless. Upon a given signal from the Sheriff, four men entered, and seizing the poor, almost un conscious man, carried him down two flights of stairs to the passageway below. But he could not or would not stand, and the poor, wretched, almost lifeless victim is supported in an upright position. He does not stand so. He cannot But those men hold him, and grasping the noose it is put about his neck. The scene is shock ing, sickening, and nearly a minute elapses before the noose is adjusted. Hunter's ashy-pale face shows no signs of life. His eyes, half closed, are glazed and glassy, and what appears to be foam appears on his clinched lips. The slightly bald and iron-gray haired head falls helpless to one side, while not a muscle moves nor a sign of recognition or feeling is given by the inanimate mass of poor fallen humanity, held upright by the prison keepers. This man is insensible to all that is going on around him. He is either drunken or drugged ! He knows nothing—happily so—of his position. The Sheriff then asks the form before him twice—"have you anything to say ?" There is no answer, the white cap is pulled over his head, and Benjamin Hunter's liv ing face is forever screened from mortal eyes. It is now twenty seven minutes past eleven ; the Sheriff with axe in hand sev ers the rope supporting the weight, and a heavy thud is heard, hut Hunter's body merely straightens, it does not rise from the floor ! A terrible blunder ! Then taking the situation at a glance the Sheriff springs to the rope and with the help of several deputies, pulls desperately at it and Hunter's body rises three feet from the . ..ed bricks that form the floor. The body swings around a minute, but there is no signs of life. Is the man dead ? No ! There is a convulsive shudder; not vio lent, but yet marked through the frame. A man who has witnessed twenty execu tions cries out : "Good God ! This is ter rible. That man is choking to death !" and covering his face moves away. And so he was; Hunter died of slow strangulation, although his death was intended to have been instantaneous. At fifteen minutes past twelve, exactly, the body was cut down and carried into the room adjoining the Sheriff's office. Thus ends this terra ble crime. MAucp CIitTNK, Pa., January 11.—The execution of Sharpe and McDonnell, con victed of the murder of George K. Smith, coal operator at Audepreil, on the night of November 5, 1863, was expected to be : a quiet affair but has proved most exciting. A reprieve from Governor Hartranft ar rived one-half minute after the drop fell, just thirty seconds too late to save the lives of the men adjudged guilty of the murder. The doomed men slept peacefully • last night. . McDonnell, when retiring, . asked to be called at midnight for prayer. At that hour Sharpe was fast asleep. Neither ate any breakfast this morning. The priests, Fathers Bunco and Heiner, arrived at 7, and mass was said in MeDon, lien's cell in the presence of a number of relatives. At 0:30 the doors of the prison were opened to those havitig passes, and the corridors were soon well filled with a crowd who examined the ropes and looked on at their being fixed to the scaffold beams and other preparations. The Sheriff had given strict orders to his assistants to al low no levity. At 10:25 o'clock the Sheriff knocked at the doors of the cells, as the signal that he was ready. The condemned men did not appear for some time, but when they came forth did not show the least sign of fear. Sharpe and McDonnell, priests, policemen and the Sheriff, at once went upon the scaffold. After a short ser vice the Sheriff said : "James McDonnell" have you anything to say before I proceed further '!" McDonnell replied in a firm voice : "I am as innocent of the murder of Smith as the child unborn I have al ready told of the only crime I was engaged in (referring to the But ns murder). I am sorry I ever alienate.' myself from the holy Catholic Church. I forgive every body." In reply to the Sheriff's question, Sharpe said he was innocent of the murder of Smith He said he had intended te have read a statement written fir him by Mr. Boyle, of the Gout Gazette, but he would not, and asked that gentleman to be sure to publish it. The men were then shackled and the priests kissed them good bye. The Sheriff was about to put on the white caps. when Sharp: said he wished to leave his thanks with the Sheriff and officers of the jail. McDonnell said the same The men then kissed their crucifixes, and the priests whispered in their ears. As the white caps were drawn over their heads every one hut the victims left the scaffold. The Sheriff took hell or a rope attached to the spring and awaited the signal from Father Mince Iu a moment a white hand kerchief fell from the latter's hand cud the Sheriff pulled the drep. The fill was over three feet and the men came down heavily. McDonnell seemed to die in stantly, but Sharpe struggled viohoitly. A reprieve was received in Mauch Chunk by telegraph at 10:37, and the man ager of the office rushed to the jail with it. He rang the bell violently about half a minute before the drop fell and shouted for the doorkeeper. Mrs. MeDonnell and her children were at the door weeping loudly, but the doorkeeper did not seem to understand that the despatch was a re prieve. It was from Governor Hartranft and granted a reprieve until Monday There was great excitetn,mt in tire town when the news of' the reprieve was mode known. The friends of the prisoners took charge of the bodies, which were put into coffins in the jail The Sheriff said he had no idea a reprieve would be granted by the Governor, nor did any of the authorities anticipate such a contingency. Sr. Jou.at, N. B , January 14.—Thomas Dowd was hanged at St. Andrew; Char lotte county, at 8:15 this morning for the murder of Thomas Edward Ward, at New River, on the Bth of September last. Death was instantaneous. There were about sixty persons present. Martin Bergin, the nineteenth Maguire, was hung at Pottsville yesterday. When asked by the Sheriff if' he bad any thing to say he replied : "I have nothing to say. I will die a game man is all I have to say " He put his hands behind his back fur the officers to tie them, and when it was done he replied, "That 'Atli! right." About one haudred Paople witnessed the execution. Our Washington Letter WASUINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15, 1879, I have already written you about the rich trade with Brazil and other South American countries, the reason for our small proportion of it, and the means pro posed to improve it. All clases of business will be interested in the following facts extracted from official reports on the sub ject : The following figures show the amount of general imports and exports of Brazil from 1870-71 to 1875-76 : Imports Exports Daring that time the imports of the United States from Brazil amounted to And the exports of the United States to Brazil amounted to only 45,553,555 00 The foregoing statement shows the mere nothingness of the United States exports to Brazil, while the imports from that country indicate that we are the purcha. sers of more than one half of her entire ex ports. Instead of paying for the same in products of our own, we are compelled to send our gold coin to Europe in payment for Brazilian produce, and with that gold the supplies of Brazil are purchased, every article of which could and should go from our own eountry and be of our own pro duction. And why is this? Simply be cause of the superior commercial and postal facilities furnished by the European gov ernments. There are at the present time nine regularly established steamship lines between Europe and South America, and all are receiving compensation under long contracts for carrying the mails, amounting to five or six million dollars annually from each government, while the trade of the United States until last year had no direct steam communication, and the new line now in operation, and which has develop ed a good deal of valuable trade, has not the aid even of a postal contract from our Government. A late report contains ex tracts of Brazilian trade statistics, showing the per tentage of imports from the exports to other countries, as follows: Germany United States. Prance „, Great Britain Portugal And while the Brazilian trade with Great Britain has been all the time in creasing, that with the United States has suffered in proportion. Let us see what articles Brazil imports, and what proportion is derived from the United States Among the imports for one year were the following": Boots and shoes Cod and other fish 1.714,703 74,929 Butter Cheese. Flour Straw rate 5,537,405 197,582 ..... 1,037,334 65 981,427 522 ,„ , 245,452 5,345 Coal Earthenware Iron and Steel Iron and steel rails Other manufactures of iron and steel Agricultural iin pitmen ts, machinery, etc 2,374,736 258,688 Cotton, cotton fabrics and clothing Paper for printing, writing, walk, etc.. Wool, woolen fabrics, cloth ing, eto. 10,337,409 978 Thus of' the products and manufactures which we can supply most cheaply and plentifully, Brazil buys limit largely in . . Europe, simply because of the great su periority of Commercial facilities. We have but one line running to South America, and that the British monopolists are trying to crowd off, and probably will, unless Congress shall see fit to give it a postal contract as a partial support to the enterprise. The Senate has voted in favor of it, and the merchants, manufacturers and producers from all parts of the country are urging the House to do likewise. The Yellow Fever Commission will re 7 commend to Congress several measures of prevention against the return of the scourge next year, and the subject is of national interest, since the. ravages would be much wider spread skull(' the disease return. Surge in Gen. Woodworth has directed special attention to the dangers of its spread even throughout the while north west if its germs remain dormant till the hot weather in the houses that have been kept close and warm during winter. Prof Joh n Glinge,, of London, England, has proposed not only to provide means for subjecting all articles of furniture, but if necesary, an entire dwelling to the action of intense frost. At the request of Dr. Woodsworth an able draughtsman has been placed at Mr. Gamgee's diPp)sal by the Secretary of the Navy to design a handy steamer which may be situated at any ex posed p'rt for the purpose of overhauling and disinfcciing by cold air and freezing mixture all ships arriving frlm infected ports. _ _ _ - This practical method of freezing out yellow fever ships even in the Gulf of Mexico is likely to reconcile the differences between sanitary authorities and ship owners. With one or Mr. Gawgee's theme glacial engines on board this life saving ship can clear out the whole of the air of a 1,500 ton shin in 20 minutes, and whilst is passengers and crew are being ex amined and disinfl.eted, in the refrigerating ship itself, the entire cargo can be purified.. This steamer will carry a machine and special reserves of refrigerating mixtures to deal with 150,000 cubic feet of' air at a time, and in addition to a complete re newel of the air and the lowering of the temperature in the vessel to 20 or 30 (1,3- grecs below the freezing point of water,. the bilge will be puliped out and replaced by 11-,z •n uoehangeable liquid so as not to (rave a trace of pollution anywhere By this means any ship can be tulde safe to unload its cargo in a few hAurs into suit able warehouses on shore which can like- wise be kept at a proper temperature cal culated to preserve perishable provisions, fruits, &c., and effectually destroy any germs of disease. Congress will be asked to ap priatt sufficient money to make a thorough trial of this promising syste;.n. It is an ticipated that sem , : action will be taken in the matter on tie re-asseinbling of the Yellow Fever Committee in Washington, and it is well to remember that prompt action is desirable in order to got this in valuable means at our c nnuland in May, or at the latest, early in .June, and thus do all in our power to limit the chance of an epidemic in the ensuing summer. The startling information already gath ered by the Blaine Committee relative to outrages in Louisiana has astonished many of the confiding Democrats, and n it a few of them are disgusted with their fellow Democrats of the South who seem ready to perpetuate and excuse all excesses to achieve political control. The offences of past years arc exceeded by those of the tate election, and it is past dispute now that nobody can live in many Louisiana parishes without abandoning all hope of taking part in politics against the bull dozers. Senator Blaine says that more startling evidence of crime and disloyalty is yet to come. He has many letters which give a very dark picture of Southern life. • VOLUNTEER. $5OO REWARD !—They cure all diseases of the Stomach, Bowels, Blood, Liver, Nerves, Kidneys and Urinary Organs, and $5OO will be paid fur a case they will not cure or help, or for any thing pure or injnrious found in them—Hop Bitters.

General News Depn;•tnncnt —As heretofore, THE WEEKLY PRESS will publish the latest Asscciated press despatches from all parts of the world, and, in addition, will contain special telegraphic news from our own correspondents in all sections of the Union. State News Department —Our State Department, which has attracted so much attention, and been so warmly received during the past year, will be greatly improved for 1879, and all events of im portance will be faithfully chroni?led by corres pondents in every city, town and hamlet in this Commonwealth. This feature will be fully ap preciated not only by Pennsylvania readers but by others who formerly resided in this State. Our Correepoudeuce.—Arrangements have been completed for the receipt of weekly letters from New York, Boston, Washington, and other cities, and our numerous correspondents in the West and on the Pacific Cost will continue their interesting contributions. Our regular European letters will also be a prominent feature of THE WEEKLY PRESS for the coming year, several distinguished writers have recently been added to our already large st a If. Incidents of City Life.—This always interesting department will be greatly extended, and is to in clude, in addition to the regular local news, spe cial articles to be furnished by the best descrip tive writers on the eity staff. All phases of life in a great metropolis will be reflected in this de partment, and should prove both entertaining and instructive. Literary and Mi•cellaneona Department.—The Literary Department of THE WEEKLY PRESS will be under the control of DR. E SHELLTON MAC KENZIE, Literary Critic of THE PRESS, who will be aided in the miscellaneous selections by exper ienced members of the editorial corps. Our aim will be to furnish the very best original and selec ted matter that can be obtained, such as stories, poems, sketches, etc., etc., thus giving many col umns of matter of interest to all classes of readers. The Agricultural Department.—Mß. THOMAS MEEHAN, the editor of this well-known and very valuable Department of THE WEEKLY PRESS, will remain in charge during the coming year, and the mere statement of this fact will be sufficient to commend this journal to all who are engaged in Agricultural pursuits. Financial and Commercial Department.—Nearly all classes of readers will find our Financial and Commercial reports of inestimable value in their business relations, for this news can always be relied upon as unbiased and authoritative. The farmer, the manufacturer and the merchant can not afford to be in ignorance of events constantly occurring in the business world, and to them the information given by THE WEEKLY PRESS is a necessity. Our quwations are always the very latest that can be obtained, and are telegraphed from all the business centres of the globe. • Our Little People —Since this department was started we have received many letters of congrat ulations from both parents and children, and in the future this feature will be made even more prominent than in the past. It is to be placed in charge of a talented lady, whose love for the little folks cannot fail to guide her hand aright in the selection of their weekly feast. The Puzzler's Realm, which has proved so popular, will remain in charge of its well-known editor, MR. WM. 11. GRAFFAM, of West Scarboro, Maine. The Editorial Department.—lt will be seen that not only one page, but the entire paper will be carefully edited, and nothing that could possibly add to the value of the journal will be omitted. The editorial page, proper, will include leading articles on all the current topics of the hour, and though THE PRESS is Republican in principle, it will be found that in great questions its influence will ever be cast in favor of the right, irrespective of partisan or other influence.

Clerk's Office, Dec. 23, Is7S 1879-THE NEW YEAR-1879 In entering upon a now twelvemonth, which begins with every sign auspicious for all the ac tive, literary and artistic interests of the country ; with every indication of an immediate future as favorable to the advance of liberal enterprise as the immediate past has been adverse; the pro prietor of the THE :NEW YORK MERCURY proposes to have a new life, as it were, infused into this so long representative metropolitan weekly repository of Literature, Dramatic and Musical specialities and general news. Always a pungently original and endlessly varied epitome of the most attractive literary novelties, artistic information, social saliencies, ehoieestregular con tributions and brighest journalistic department of the day, it is intended that it shall be made yet brighter and more comprehensive in general by the addition of striking new features and the aid of an increased force of first-class writers. Any current number of the paper now will serve to show the progress of these invigorating and re juvenating improvements, at once recalling to thousands of readers the most brilliant past epochs of their favorite weekly's veteran career and eclipsing all precedents therein. The New YORK MERCURY fur the year 1879 will be far stronger than ever in its great standard specialities, SPLENDID SERIALS, OFFICIAL DRAMATIC INTELLIGENCE, COMPLETE STORIES AND POEMS, SFRIKINt} SOCIAL NEWS, and its usual unrivaled array of the beat of con tributions and fresh ideas in every line of inter esting reading ; and it is designed that inimita ble new specialities in ORIGINAL HUMOR, THE ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE, SOC [ETV'S WIT AND SPARKLE, LITERATURE'S NATIVE STRENGTH, and the grandest work that liberal inducements can obtain from the most celebrated foreign, as well as native, pens, shall be among the future characteristics, of the paper. Better times seem' to have come, indeed, at last, to encourage fresh outlay in the interests of public instruction and amusement, and the NEW ]oati. MERCURY will be found FOREMOST IN THE VAN of institutions recognizing and acting upon every encouragement to fresh and generous enterprise that the New Year promises to afford. A goodly, loyal army of old frienad and new are already subscribers, in every part of the Union and in many parts of Europe; but an even greator con stituency yet needs just such a combination of all the choicest Literary and Artistic attractions of the whole newspaper world in one great weekly, as they may find in the New York Mercury for 1879. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. The NEt YORK MERCURY, with its fifty-six col umns of sterling, original matter, will continue to be issued at Eight Cents a copy, and sold by all newsmen and periodical dealers in America. To mail-subscribers our terms for 1579 will be (cash in advance): Single copies (postage paid), TiIREE DOLLARS PER ANNUM. Write plainly the name of post-office, county, and State.
