Ik was found impossible with our labor and material to issue two editions separate. We then issued two papers a week one on Monday and one on Thursday. The two together were 'numbered and counted as a semi-weekly paper, and the Thursday's issue had an addition al number, and counted as a weekly. The Thursday's paper contained mud) matter that had appeared in Monday's paper, as our force and type were not suScient to fill both papers anew. The old OLsarer was conducted some time in this war. As soon as the new type was reccivcd.Monday'a paper was made as larre as Thursday's. This semi-weekly publication continued thus regularly until 1st January, and only the weekly has been published since tjea. One number of the scmi-wcckly was omitted for the Christmas holidays, but another was supplied in January in its place. There were in all 37 numbers of the semi-weekly embracing nearly 4 months; and in the same time and for two weeks previous, 21 numbers of the weekly or Thursday's paper, nearly 5 months. We have had the use of but one direct mail the whole time the daily line to Warsaw. We began without any prospectus, cir culars or agents. The time r(t a great many subscribers to the News expired in June and July, and only 1C9 were turned orer to us to supply with the Hi a ix for the balance of their time. The time of near half of theso expired in a month or so, and nearly all of them by the 1st of January. For sev eral weeks at first, we received about 100 new subscribers a week, and our circulation Las gradually increased ever since, and is now as large as at any one time heretofore. During the whole year we, have tent papers to probably HOO or 1500 persons, though 'not so many at any one time, as some mbscriptions were out before others began. So, independent of the News ubscribera, we have certainly received an average of over 100 new subscribers a month for the past 12 months. We have given employment to five or six men with large families, and as taany others without families, in all from six to ten regularly, and perma nently. Our current expenses with the semi-weekly paper, were over $500 a month, and with the weekly paper about $300 a month. We have met our expenses and will bo able to have something besides.' We 'have thus paid out several thousand dollars, a raong conservatives and radicals, and "copy." . We had hardly put on a clean shirt beforo we were called on to read proof." We had left our law practice nght in the middle, and letters and messages continued to flood onus about administrators, bankruptcy, dower, the . scran ants of imaginary estates.

Hut we have paid our way through, although we spent a few hundred dol lars that might have been saved, had we known more of the newspaper business. Capitalists, both of the fickle and old fogy Kind, put in their enor mous share of stock, in the original purchase, and they have not darkened our door with their money or their hideous iaces, from that day to this. So financially, we have had to "root hog or die." When we came here a year ago, it was or course uncertain whether we would be with the EaaxJE unless first approved by a vote of the Counties and Townships may make new debts and special appro priations outside of current expenses, if approved by the people of tho coun ty or township. This decision gains but little for the tax-payers. The Legislature can maneuvre through almost any tax they wish. We well remember how radicals proclaimed, before the adoption of" the constitu tion, that that instrument would place a final limit and proportion between polls and property that would bear tay the march of the desolating elerient were put forth, and happily croped with suc cess.
