Many years previous to Hannah's death, however, her mother died. This must have

commemced small, becuse there was a risk; to run in getting subscribers; and as we have before said, not knowing whether we could find such matter as would be inter- esting and acceptable. But as our sub- scription list is filling up so rapidly, we have engaged the services of many able and experienced writers, who will com. mence their labors on the enlargement of this paper. We have, at considerable ex- pense obtained the assistance of an Author of some note to furnish us, every week with an ORIGINAL STORY.

Our friends will bear in mind that to do this, it will require much of the "where- with,"and will not be slow in giving us a list of subscribers unequalled by any other paper in Essex County,

We are having an ( Bagla" engraved expressly for the head of the paper, which will cost as much as forty volumns of the paper.

We furthermore assure our Readers that at that time the Eagle will be Edited by an Association of individuals, who will sparc no pains to make it as interesting a FAMILY NEWSPAPER as can be found:
