A" DOUBLE PAPER.

The Courier of this week is a doable paper, jiisfe twice its usual size: or, two papers printed and

gent out at the same time. Sub

scribers and others will not have

the paper complete unless they

receive ' both sheets, and if any

mistakes are made we should be

jtotjjied. This eclipses anything

xa the way of newspaper enter-

&vise ever attempted? in this

couatv.
