CHEAPEST FAMILY NEWSPAPER IN THE WORLD!

THE DOLLAR NEWSPAPER
AFFORDED TO SINGLE SUBSCRIBERS
AT ONLY ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR.

It is now in the tenth year of its existence, and printed on a large Imperial sheet.

AS A FAMILY NEWSPAPER,

It has won wide fame, being devoted to all the interests of Trade and Business, to
Light Literature, and to the various matters which contribute to the formation of a
complete Family Fireside Companion, in which amusement and instruction
predominate.

The Publishers of the “NEWSPAPER” challenge comparison with the largest of its
rivals for public favor, as to the amount of useful reading that it contains. Declining
to publish long advertisements, it manages, by the use of small, clear type, compactly
bestowed, to contain as much reading matter that is instructive and profitable, for
ONE DOLLAR, as the larger sheets give for TWO DOLLARS.

ITS ORIGINAL DOMESTIC STORIES

Have acquired for it a wide popularity, and to maintain favor in this respect, Five
Hundred Dollars have been offered by the publishers, in premiums, for the best
Original Stories that shall be sent in before the 15th of November, 1853—$300 for the
best; $100 for the second; $60 for the third, and $40 for the fourth. These premiums,
it is fair to presume, will call forth some very superior stories, so that we risk little in
saying that this department, the coming year, will at least equal what it has been at
the best period in the previous existence of the “Newspaper.”

AS AN ADDITIONAL PREMIUM,

The Publishers renew the offer originally made by them to Post-towns, as follows:

“That Post-office of any town in the Union, from which we shall receive the greatest
number of subscribers to the Dollar Newspaper, during the year, between the 1st
of June, 1853, and the 1st of June, 1854, (the papers to be mailed to such post-office,
or to subscribers through it, shall be entitled to a continuance of the whole number
of the subscriptions, gratuitously, for one year after the expiration of the year for
which their subscriptions shall have been paid. The papers will be continued on,
either to the subscribers themselves, or to the agents from whom we may receive the
orders for quantities, and to whom the package or packages may be directed, or both,
if there should be both in the same town, as the case may be.”

The following are its Terms per Year:

For $1, one copy, one year.

For $5, six copies, one year.

For $10, thirteen copies, one year.

For $15, twenty copies, one year.

For $20, twenty-seven copies, one year.

For $25, thirty-four copies, one year.

For $30, forty-two copies, one year.

For $35, fifty copies, one year.

For $50, seventy-five copies, one year.

OF INTEREST TO THE FARMER.

On AGRICULTURAL SUBJECTS, it has secured the services, as correspondents,
of a large number of intelligent Practical Cultivators in various sections of the Union,
who furnish, in the most acceptable form, results of the workings of various theories,
the improvement of Soils, the application of Manures, the most productive Crops, and
the hundred other matters that interest the Husbandman. In this respect “THE
DOLLAR NEWSPAPER” has no rival, and it is the intention of the Publishers that
it shall not lose any of the high reputation that it has earned.

THE MARKETS,
Wholesale and Retail—Prices of Cattle, of Produce, &c., &c.

The important subjects that come under this head are minutely attended to, and
more fully reported than in any other Family Weekly Paper in the country. In connection
with this matter, a Bank Note List, the Rates of Discount, a notice of all new
Counterfeit and altered Notes, with the Rates of Domestic Exchange, are regularly
published, after undergoing careful revision and correction. Besides these, the prices
of the staple products of the country in all the principal markets, as well as the price
of cattle in all the Atlantic cities, are condensed into a prief space in each number.
