He is in great tribulation. F ie, fie, sir !just try milking one teat at a time, as the calf does, and see if that won’t make her give down. We have known this to answer the purpose, many a time.

The geographical position of tho City of Hamilton, with its superiorRailway oon' nection, affords great facility for the speedy trans mission of the Daily Spectator to the numerous thriving towns and villages between the Niagara- and Detroit Rivers,â€"an advantage of which thy proprietors have not failed to avail themselves- The Semi-FVeekly and W'ccklu editions (made up from the reading matter in the Daily) containing a great amount of news, at an extremely low price, enjoy a large and extended circulation among the agricultural classes, and those not immediately engrossed with the cares of politics or commerce, to whom the stimulus of a daily paper is not; necessity. The Spectator (Daily,Semi-chkly and Weekly) is therefore an excellent medium for advertising. The rates charged are the same as the published rate, generally adopted by the Canadian press, except for the weekly edition, for which double the usual rate is charged on account of its large circulation being confined almost exclusively to the farming communitx, thereby admitting only the profitable publication, 1n its columns, of ad- vertisements suited to this particular class. 213’ The. rates of subscription, payable in .111- Da 11y, per annum . . . . ...... $5.00 per copy.

The Credit. System, however advantageous in other departments 0! business, has nothing to recommend its application to ".1"! spapm s, for while the individual Subscrip- tions are so trifling that neither hardship or diffi- culty can 1esult from payment in advance, tht ageregate amount is a. matter of serious conse- quence to the publisher, and the expense of collec- tion and losses form a heavy item which he is compelled to levy on the honest subscriber who takes the henel‘ t of the credit: hence the public can understand Why newspapers rscost 20 or 25 per cent mme at the end than at the beginning of the 1'e ar.
