The PUBLISHER, in presenting each family in the City of St. Asaph and Neighbourhood for another year, with the Advertising Circular, begs to return his sincere thanks for the encouragement which he has received from the commencement. Advertisers and the public, as he is glad to notice, look out for its issue ; and the householders of " ye little citie " are glad to rank it as one, if not the most valuable, of their numerous Christmas Presents.
