BOSTON TRANSCRIPT.

DAILY AND WEEKLY.

QUARTO SHEET,—56 COLUMNS.

THE LARGEST, CHEAPEST, AND BEST FAMILY NEWSPAPER IN NEW ENGLAND.

THE DAILY EVENING TRANSCRIPT
has been carried on for nearly fifty-five years as an
INDEPENDENT JOURNAL,

discussing and considering questions of political and social interest, according to the best opinions and convictions of its conductors in advocating the good, condemning the bad, exposing the fallacies of mistaken policy, and promoting the general welfare of the people. It aims at promptness in giving the news of the day, and at completeness in all that should be features of a first-class newspaper; endeavors in every department of reading matter to maintain a judicious reputation for avoiding everything that may be considered objectionable to good taste; seeks to favor progress, promote public spirit, and to encourage enterprise. The perfect success of the Transcript as a favorite New England journal, conducted according to the above-sketched platform of ideas, gives its managers reasonable assurance in believing that faith has been honestly kept by the newspaper in meeting in those respects the expectations of its wide-spread circle of patrons.

The Daily Transcript is sent to mail subscribers for $9.00 per year in advance, and $4.50 for six months.

Single Copies, Three Cents.
