It is unneeessary to protract th . s conversation ;
sue it so say, in furtherance of her plot, the lady
consented ,to an immediate union, and the parties

EINE
ANY:4OIB. - z - , With the tcenustamment mithelf
teenth volume of the Miners' . Journal, we have en
larged its sire materially, and added in part a new
fount of %re. We have by this .arrangementabout
two columns more to devote to'otrr rulvertiaing frienchw
to whom, slid we not conceive it superfluous, we
might point out the many advantages to be derived
from promulgating their cards- of business in a Jour
nal, which.airculatesperhaps more than any other,
among these interested both- in the tral and iron
trades, as well as that of general inland business.
Of these branches, we shall endeavour to be the
faithful chroniclers; and at all times will use alacri
ty to lay the earliest information before our patrons,
which may prove of j business or general interest. We
think the present size of the Journal will answer to
tarry .out our.puiposes for the present year, and as
there will be no increase of subscription price, we
must again request our friends to usetheir endeavors
to procure us an additional patronage--let each pre.
sent subscriber endeavor to get us another, and try
this means, our outlay will be reimbursed, and y our
editor receive an additiMull test for future improve
ments. -
o• The present number will be-sent to er i ane who,'
are not on out list, whose names-have beim, f urn ished
by friendly, if they are unwilling tia sub scribe,- they
can notify us, by 'returning the paper t ottl. address.
The NeW Year.—The fifth day o 4; the fear 1839
has arrived, and it is not yet too Late to wish a
"happy new year" to our friends. We are .con
strained to differ froze that sacred writer who said
"there was nothing new under the .sun." Here we
have a new year,a new volume of the Miners' Jour
nal, a new fount of type, a retoNconstitution, a new
Governor, new hopes to please.our patrons, and the
anticipation of many new subscribers. Now if Mr.
Job, or whoever it was made the above remark, "some
where between Genesis and Revelation," as a certain
friend of ours is wont to say, when telling his pathetic
story of "Miss Nancy Bell, the heiress," could read
such an array of new things, it would made him de
ny the truth of his position. We therefore again
cordially reiteat the salutations of the season, and
may pleasures be as plenty as blackberries—by the
•vray, we nztver knew why that fnnt was so uslrd,
having as much right to the name of three colors as
one, for we all know black-berries are red, when they
are green !
SAIIIIIIM Late, of Pottsville, to be an Associ
ate Judge for Schuylkill County, in the place of
Judge Yost, resigned.
Pottsville Institute. The ezervises of this-Insti
tution will re-commence, after the Christmas vaca
tion, on Monday nezt,under the continued raper:in
tendance of Mr. Charles - IV. Pitman.
SchuyAill Ravin Grays.—Capt. Denieer's fine
company paid us their. anticipated visit •on Neag ,
Year's Day, and made a decided impression by their
neat and martial appearance. The honors of escort
were perfonned. hy,Capt, Wynkoop's Company of
Cavalry, and Capt. - Baird's Infantry. Their ap
pearance was every way creditable, and the whole
ceremonies of the day passed off delightfully.
Market Lazo.—On the first of the month our
Borough Ordinance regulating markets went into
operation. Mr. Daniel
. 14111 has been appointed
Clerk, and we trust he Will do his duty firmly, us on
his conduct rests the 'redress of many grievances,
which Live heretofore been severely felt by our citi
zens.
Newspaper Support.—On the occasion of ma
king-our bow to our 'patrons in an enlarged farm, it
had been our intention toy a few words on' the
subject of newspaper patronage. Much has hereto
fake been argued on the mutual' duties of an editor
and the public, but no remarks have been, in our es- -
timation more:pertinent to the subject, than a recent
article from the .Albany Evening Journal. After
showing' the untiring exert*, and rigid economy,
which a gauntry editor must eisteise, to prevent en
tire prostration, aril that even Nirith these, success is
not always obtained, it proceeds to state that when
at last the -field is abandoned in despair, "those whose
flag he has supported through the years of vicissitude
and strife, take credit to themselves that they have
paid their yearly subscription, and complacently re- .
mark that they have done their duty to support him..
Now this way "of supporting the Press" will not
answer. Many a good paper has been starved out
by it, where it ought to have been suirtained. If men
in came, men in business, men of leisure, squires,
doctors, lawyers arid generals, think they do their
whole dip by their country paper in taking a copy
and paying their two dollars for it when they are'
dunned, they are certainly laboring under a most
pernicious mistake; At this rate, farmer A. black- ,
smith B; shoemaker C. will think they do enough
by merely borrowing of those functiOnaries or snatch-
ing a glance a tit in the village tavern.
41
The result will be that a dozen or twenty copied
will be taken in a town where there shoncbe two
hundred, and demagogues will be enabled to,pervitn.
the minis of honest meninto the support of knavery
and misrule, when a proper diffusion of intelligende
would be sure to prevent it.
There are many very goat people who,are riot
aware of the value of a creditable and well conducted
journal Yo a country independent of its political -in
fluence. , That,no family ,. can afford to do without a
newspaper. simply as matter of economy,of its
thousand valuable items of pradtical inf o and
its importance as en aid to the education of child
ren,. is undoubted. But this is not all. The value
of land and property , generally in a country village,
is enhanced by a good sized and good looking jourL
nal. Ai country or village so 'privileged is constant
ly in the public eye, abtoad and at home.--Citizens
may obtain any article they need by simply locking
m the newspaper to see where it-is sold. Thiseoon
attracts from abroad and creates a quicker demand
for all products. In a hundred ways advantages. {

and farMers 5 and we do not hesitate to drum that
if every !merchant, manufacturer, and professional
man, wire obliged to tulvertise to the amount of ten
oVlifty dollar's per annum; aCeording to his business
so as;ply to support the best kind of a paper,, it

milted at 200,000 tons; this may probably supply the

It has been- co' ntinumniy winking - With great ease
and advantage for some time past:

These gentlemen under many discouraging cir

and uncommon perseverance, thus accomplished an
improvement in the arts—tmsurpassed by the great
and useful efforts of ingenuity and enterprise within
the past thirty years. In this state and the United
States the result of this successful enterprise will
prove of the highest importance to the mechanic arts,
to Agriculture, to _Commerce, and to public and irri
