of tlit' great newspaper whose name
it Urnix, but is fully the equal in
most respects, nixl in some the sn

irinted volume of over .r()0 Ja'es,
ind eontains inforniatioii on all top
es whieh the student, the profes
sional man, or the workman can
ossihly desire to consult. It will
ie esjxrially intcrest'in;', lw:auie of
U lKiil statistics, to every resident
f rennsylvunia, Xew Jersey, Del
ware and Maryland. Special ut-
iiition has Imimi civen to matters of
ital importance to the farming and
rricultural interests. The l'hila
lphia "Press" altnnnac is, in brief,
comprehensive and exact supple
ent to the great encyclopedias aud
ctionaries of the country, bringing
;ir wealth of information up to
e. It will answer any question
the scope ot an almanac, whi?h
ly lie placed before it. Ito loSv
