I ? its columns bus always been found a mirror of passing events, and tue careful chroni? cling of the history of what is going on in th< world has ever been its aim. It is always welcomed in the household, while in the counting room :md workshop it ha.s become invaluable. The gazette has better facilities lor oh taining news than any paper outside of the national capital. Situated m< i! is so close to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily the benefit of the Associated Press dit patches from every part of the world : hence its patrons ran read from its columns in the evening what h;*.s transpired that day every portion of our own domain aa well a from every part of tho habitable globe Consequently it is an every day occurrence for the gazette to publish telegrams from the various European capitals twelve nud fifteen hours earlier than the morning pers. Another feature that serves to make the gazette ? great desideratum with met chants is its afternoon market reports fron New York, Baltimore, Chicago and othei centres. Tbe iocal department furnishes a full am! complete history of everything that occurs in and near tbe city, and this feature will, as ever, receive careful attention. Correspondence from Washington, Kiel: mond and every section of the State, is pub' iished reguiarly, and all eveuta of interest occurring within the bounds of.the Com? monwealth are to uo fouud in the columns of tiro Gazette. Tho Gazette's circulation is steadily in i-reasing, especially among peopie who con? sult its advertising columns before purcha ? se. That this is self-evident may be infer? red from the fact that a large country edi ;ion?nearly as large as the daily?is sent til over this section of country three times i week, and is read by thousands, most o( shorn send here or to contiguous cities to nake purchases. The advantages of ad? vertising \p the Gazette are, therefore, np >arent. rates of subscription. )ai!y Gazette, per annum, - - - So 00 [to-weekly Gazette, for country, ? -100
