Our exchange list numbers half* dozen or more daily newspapers and between fifty and sixty weeklies; they are published in New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Kansas.

They are on sale for ten cents a dozen. There i| a great demand for them, consequently they never accumulate until stole. Hereafter we cannot engage to preserve copies of any particular paper for anybody. Nor do wo have any old paper* to give away. Five cents for half a dozen or ten cents for a dozen of those papers, is certainly cheap enough, and the sum is *o small that it can be paid at the time of purchase.
