best plan of subscribing is to send your money
direct to the publisher. Those who send
large amounts had better send drafts, hut
notes will answer if drafts cannot be pro

it is to take the Lady's Book at Three Dol
lars than any other magazine at Two Dollars.
We will take a late number of both. The
Two Dollar Magazine contained 30 articles,
the Lady's Book '12.
The Two'Dollar Magazine contained 32 en
gravings, the Lady's Book 5rt.
The Two Dollar Magazine contained 04 pa
ges, the Lady's Book 100.
Twenty-four more engravings, twenty six
more 'articles, and thirty-six more pages,
nearly double the quantity. The lowest club
price or the two uonar .tiagazuia is.i,c.;
lowest club price of Lady's Book $1,1)7, only
42 cents difference in the price, which is lluee
and a half cents on each number, and for that
sum (three aud a half cents), you receive
twentv-six more articles, twenty-four more
emrraVirics. and thirty-six more pages month
y certainly a very cheap three and a half
cents' worth. Tins view of the case has
probably nerer before been presented, but it is
a true statement, wliu h any laity can con

era throughout tlie country, that it is the in
tention of the Editor and Proprietor f ths
'Germantown Telegraph," not only to con
tinue as heretofore liie Agricultural xepan-.
ment of his paper, but sedulously to add to
Its character and value by all the means at
command. All necessary space shall be pro
vided for a ful irecord of Agricultural Details
and a full development or every Draucu or m
Farmer'a Pursuit. He will in future, as he
has always heretofore, aim to be practical,
and to be or real ana substantial auvamap
to husbandry. His course, also, will continue
to be thoroughly independent, and wholly un
biassed by any' other motives than those he
conceives to be promotive of the true Interest
of Agriculture in its broadest meaning. Neither
individuals, cliques, societies, or any other in
fluence shall awerv him from tlie path cf
right and duty.

sire a Newspaper, issued weekly, and equal

tirely unnecessary for them to subscribe fof a
periodical exclusively agricultural.

dening, generally, will meet with particular
attention.

not be surpassed by any In the country
Neatly printed on pood paper, of the largest
class, it shall continue to be'one of the hand
somest newspapers of the day. . M. -
Every Family, in town or country, whether
they take other papers or not, will find the

erai oeuent, twice me amount or suuscripuuu.
