THB HEW BBPASTPEEI Advance Payment for the gentlnc AH RXTBKBIOrl OF ONE MONTH. As all are well aware, several weeks since wi offered the Sentinel for 1879 for $1.60 if paid advance. The plan works admirably. Ithoa doubt been observed that the greater por- tion of our lone lists of weekly receipts hai beentoJan. 1, 1880. Now, what for the future ? Shall those who neglected to avail themselves ef this liberal offer, and who choosetopay for their paper any time along daring the year, or "when It U convenient," be allowed the same reduction certainly not. It would be a gross injus- tice to those who come forward so promptly, ip old scores and pay for their paper In :e. Many have pot themselvestocon- siderable inconvenience and made no riflce in order to meet our conditions ofad- ince payment And shall those who choose to •gleet our offer, and pay for their paper when It suits tbelr own convenience, reap the same advantage that they do ? Every reader will concede that this would not be fair. Farther- more, it would entirely defeat the plan of ad- vance payments. It will bo remembered by many that onr original terms for the Sentinel $3 a year in advance. These terms will he found still printed In our card on the flrsl page, the same as they have been for the lad ten years. Bnt one class of our subscribers have held that we could afford to wait a few months; another class have held that If we could wait a few months we could wait a year and another class that If we could wait oae we could wait two, and another class that could wall two we could wait three, and so on Indefinitely, until, In spite of our frequent irgent solicitations for money, our accounts un uptoabout fTTOOO. This is more of a load ban we can carry conveniently, and we have resolved that advance payment in the future D what It says, and that those who put themselves out to comply with our terms •hall reap the benefit. do not make these remarks In a spirit of censure or complaint, but onlytoshow that we owe it bothtoonrselvea and our patrons tc see that we carry out as nearly as possible what we advertise. TIME EXTE5BBD ONE MONTR. A« this Is a new departure, and many of om readers may not have fully understood the situ- Ion, we have decidedtogrant one montfaV .-tension of time. We do this to remove the slightest cause for complaint. It shall not bo id to our charge that we have been exacting, have taken any unfair advantage: There- fore, all accounts settled to Jan. 1, 1880, during the month of January, will be treated the same :o payment. If not paid daring the month of January, ourtermsfor tho Sentinel for 1879, will be *3.00 a year. These conditions will be strictly enforced. Of course there Is nothing compulsory In this matter. Our subscribers can take their choice between the old plan and the new. A WORD TO OUR OX.D PATRONS. To the old friends and supporters of the Sen- tinel, who have always or usually paid prompt- ly, we wishtosay a word. We ask youtoaid in making this newplan of advance pay- nit, which you know is the true pla plete and triumphant success. The aid which many have rendered us would prompt deal In the most liberal manner, and the matter of fifty cents would be utterly insignlflc* compared with their kind regard and good wi weretobreak over tbe rales out of ;lon or deference for a class of oui readers, the whole plan of advance pay mem would be frustrated at the outset and rendered complete failure. We therefore appeal to onr friends nottoplace us in this embarrassing position, but to come forward, every one, and place themselves in line, and by their example and iDfluence, help ustomake this plan, which they certainly approve, a complete success. It will benefit us and you. It will enable publish a better paper, by giving as a third ore timetodevotetoour paper which we now »vetogivetocollecting old acconnU. It will ive you the annoyance of reading frequent ans in the paper, which we are often absolute- r compelledtomake in order to raise the indstomeet oar current expenses. Next week we shall state definitely our pi Met la regard tooar large account* which ha yet received no attention. Finally, we wish you all a Happy New Tear, and hopetosee all of your names in or ' umn of receipts before the month of Ji "iall pass away. ITEKB FB0M THE EBB E l 00.

Mr. Albert Vanarnam, aged 20 years, son of.ewis Vanarnam, went ont hunting foxes onMday last, and aa he did not come bom*

night Immediate search was made for him, andwas continued till Monday morning, when hewas found In tbe woods northeast of the Catho-lic Church, dead aud frozen, with a frightfulgun shot wound In his thigh aad abdom«n. Hi

i, a double barrel, was found on one tide cump and the body on the other ride, andsupposition is that he reached over tbemp to not bis gun and hit the hammer on theup, and this accidentally discharged It.

Coroner Baker summoned a jury that after-and a verdict was rendered In accord-1th the above facts. Drs. Woodward,

fliyte and Ru!|t are of opinion that death fol->wed In six minutes after the discharge of the

i. The gun was a doable barrel, one bar-for shot and tbe other for ball, and tbe barrel

or shot was empty when found.Some others were out hantlng for foxes at

same time young Vanarnam was, and it Ulittle surprising that some one had not dls-vcrcil the body before.

AH RXTBKBIOrl OF ONE MONTH.

As all are well aware, several weeks since wioffered the Sentinel for 1879 for $1.60 if paidadvance. The plan works admirably. Ithoa

doubt been observed that the greater por-tion of our lone lists of weekly receipts haibeen to Jan. 1, 1880.

Now, what for the future ? Shall those whoneglected to avail themselves ef this liberaloffer, and who choose to pay for their paperany time along daring the year, or "when It Uconvenient," be allowed the same reduction

certainly not. It would be a gross injus-tice to those who come forward so promptly,

ip old scores and pay for their paper In:e. Many have pot themselves to con-

siderable inconvenience and made noriflce in order to meet our conditions ofad-

ince payment And shall those who choose to•gleet our offer, and pay for their paper when

It suits tbelr own convenience, reap the sameadvantage that they do ? Every reader willconcede that this would not be fair. Farther-more, it would entirely defeat the plan of ad-vance payments. It will bo remembered bymany that onr original terms for the Sentinel

$3 a year in advance. These terms willhe found still printed In our card on the flrslpage, the same as they have been for the ladten years. Bnt one class of our subscribershave held that we could afford to wait a fewmonths; another class have held that If wecould wait a few months we could wait a yearand another class that If we could wait oae

we could wait two, and another class thatcould wall two we could wait three, and

so on Indefinitely, until, In spite of our frequentirgent solicitations for money, our accountsun up to about fTTOOO. This is more of a loadban we can carry conveniently, and we have

resolved that advance payment in the futureD what It says, and that those who

put themselves out to comply with our terms•hall reap the benefit.

do not make these remarks In a spirit ofcensure or complaint, but only to show thatwe owe it both to onrselvea and our patrons tcsee that we carry out as nearly as possible whatwe advertise.

TIME EXTE5BBD ONE MONTR.A« this Is a new departure, and many of om

readers may not have fully understood the situ-Ion, we have decided to grant one montfaV.-tension of time. We do this to remove the

slightest cause for complaint. It shall not boid to our charge that we have been exacting,have taken any unfair advantage: There-

fore, all accounts settled to Jan. 1, 1880, duringthe month of January, will be treated the same

:o payment. If not paid daring themonth of January, our terms for tho Sentinelfor 1879, will be *3.00 a year. These conditionswill be strictly enforced.

Of course there Is nothing compulsory Inthis matter. Our subscribers can take theirchoice between the old plan and the new.

A WORD TO OUR OX.D PATRONS.To the old friends and supporters of the Sen-

tinel, who have always or usually paid prompt-ly, we wish to say a word. We ask you to aid

in making this new plan of advance pay-nit, which you know is the true pla

plete and triumphant success. The aid whichmany have rendered us would promptdeal In the most liberal manner, and the matterof fifty cents would be utterly insignlflc*compared with their kind regard and good wi

were to break over tbe rales out of;lon or deference for a class of oui

readers, the whole plan of advance pay memwould be frustrated at the outset and rendered

complete failure. We therefore appeal toonr friends not to place us in this embarrassingposition, but to come forward, every one, andplace themselves in line, and by their exampleand iDfluence, help us to make this plan, whichthey certainly approve, a complete success. Itwill benefit us and you. It will enablepublish a better paper, by giving as a third

ore time to devote to our paper which we now»ve to give to collecting old acconnU. It willive you the annoyance of reading frequentans in the paper, which we are often absolute-r compelled to make in order to raise theinds to meet oar current expenses.Next week we shall state definitely our pi

Met la regard tooar large account* which hayet received no attention.

Finally, we wish you all a Happy New Tear,and hope to see all of your names in or 'umn of receipts before the month of Ji"iall pass away.
