These will be followed by
HENRY C. WATSON'S
splendidly illustrated story, entitled
THE TWO-EDGED KNIFE,
the incidents of which are taken from the early history of the hardy Pioneers of Kentucky.
To these, we expect to add contributions from the following DISTINGUISHED FEMALE WRITERS, with whom negotiations are now pending:—
Mrs. Caroline Lee Hentz, Mrs. D. E. N. Southworth, Mrs. M. A. Dennison, and Lille Lilberne:
So that it may be fairly presumed and confidently promised that SCOTT'S WEEKLY PAPER, in excellence, variety, and originality of reading matter, will be acknowledged at once as
THE LARGEST AND BEST FAMILY NEWSPAPER OF THE WORLD.
The Paper will also contain the choicest selections from the best American and European publications of the day, together with Editorials on Current Events, Domestic and Foreign News, Graphic Letters on the Old World and the New, Interesting Outlines of Social and Political Life, and, indeed, every feature that can delight the reader and store the mind with useful and practical knowledge of the times we live in.
