VOLUME I. HANNIBAL, MO.: SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 19, 1353. NUMBER 6.
The largest Family Journal in the United
States, encouraged by the very liberal pa
tronage bestowed upon his Paper for the
'last seven years, and believing that the
great reduction ol postage will materially
-aid in extending the circulation of the fa
vorite family newspaper, has spared neither
pains nor expense to make his popular
.journal still more worthy of public patron
age. He has just put up a new steam-power
printing-press, which was manufactured to
order with an especial view to improve
the mechanical appearance of the Paper,
lie has contracted with a new firm to fur
nish a better atticle of paper than has here
tofore been used. It is to be manufactured
on Fourdrinier's machines expressly for
"Scott's YVeekly Papur.' He has decorat
ed the Paper with entirely new type, a new
heading, and new vignette cuts, increased
the widteof the columns, and extended the
size of the paper. It Is now pronounced,
by all who have seen it, to be the handsom
est and cheapest paper in the union. The
contents of the paper will continue to be
of the very hignest order of excellence.
Preparations have been made which ena
ble the publisher to assure the public that it
will never be behind with important News?
and anangements have been cllectcd with
some of the ablest story writers in the coun
try, both male and female, for a Scams op
First-Hat. Stories on a variety of subjects,
in which, however, incidents connected
with the Revolution will constitute a prom
inent theme. There are new on hand ori
ginal articles from the first writers in the
United States, several of which are illustra
ted Nouvellettes, a new feature one that
the publisher trusts will meet with the
views of the reading public. The selected
articles from foreign magazines are gener
ally the very same which appear in the
New York magazines, our weekly issues
giving us grent advantages in this respect.
Scott's Weekly Paper has won wide fame
as an fnteresting and instructive family
newspaper, devoted to all the interests of
trade and business, to light literature, and
to the various matters which contribute to
the formation of a complete family fireside
companion, in which amusement and in
struction predominate. Its original domes,
tic stories have acquired for it a wide popu
larity, and, as a vehicle of the earliest news,
it possesses a worth not exceeded by any
other paper of its character in the United
States. It publishes Valuable Recipes and
Useful Hints for housewifery, cooking, pre
serving, cleaning Furniture, &c, &c. It is
a moralinstructor for youth, and contains
more really useful information than any
other journal. Chronological tables of his
torical events, scintillations of history, bi
ographies of distinguished men of the past
and present century, valuable essays on im
portant Scientific, phillosophic, and useful
subjects, records ol new inventions, $-c,
&c, form part of its regular contents.
Scott's weekly paper has reached a cir
culation unparalleled in the history of simi
lar udertakings. It owes its success to the
fact, that It presents more reading matter,
(Of a better quality, in a more elegant style,
,and at a cheaper rate than any other publi
cation j and that its literary and news con
sents have met the wants of the great mass
fit the American people, by combining In
terest, instruction, and amusement to a de
cree hitherto unequalled. Every possible
.effort .will be made to increase its merit in
.proportion to its constantly increasing cir
'eulation and success. It is only by publish
lng a very edition that a journal of th size
And character of Scott's Weekly Paper can
be afforded at its extremly low price, and
.this large circulation the publisher intends
to maintain.

l ive Great Novelettes. Great
Attraction 1 1
Some five or six weeks ago, we an
nounced that we would publish five first-
class novelettes, written expressly lor the
"Dollar Newspaper." Four we had in
hand at the time, and tho fifth has since
come into our possession. The first is now
nearly half through, and has everywhere
been pronounced a story of great merit.
The following is the order of publication:
The Emigrant Squire, by P. Hamilton
Myers, Esq.; the Mad Artit,:J)y John S.
rsTsnsows magazine.
Greatly increased in size, and improved
in elegance and merit. Edited by Mrs.
Axn S. STr.rMir.ss, and CiiAiti.ns J. Peter
son. The great increase in the circulation
of this Magazine for 1852, has determined
to sparo no expense for the
in order still lurther to in
crease its list. 11 j will therefore, add,
greatly to the number of pages, without, as
other Magazines have done, decreasing the
quantity or elegance of the embellishments.
The price, too, will remain a dollar less
than its cotemporaries. As the postage
also, is less, he looks for 100,000 subscribers
in 1852.
The fashions exclusively in this Maga
zine. This is now the only Magazine which
publishes colored steel-plate fashions regu
larly. To each is added a full letter-press
description, giv'ng information on all tho
Latest-Styles, received direct from London
and Paris. All who wish to know the real
fashions, must take this periodical. In our
Eastern cities, it is tho only authority. To
the dress-maker, milliner, etc., it is invalu
able. Most readable and original of the maga
zines. The literary department will be
entirely criginal, instead of being made up,
as are all the other magazines, of second
rate English stories. During the last two
years, this magazine has been conlessedly
the best in the country for Ladies. It has
published more brilliant tales and novels in
that period, than all its cotemporaries to
gether. During 1853, it will be better
than ever. Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, the best
romance writer in America: the author of
"Dora Atherton," and others, will contrib
ute exclusively for 1853. The domestic
stories for which this magazine is famous,
will be continued from the pens of Ella
