Rare and lovely. The first thing you see when you open it is a reprinting of Mark Twain's speech at Boston Dinner honoring Whittier, and it only gets better from there. Filled with important stories and important ads illustrative of both local and national life at the time. Each issue is 4 pp., no Sunday issues printed. Begins with Vol. 21, number 129 on January 2, 1878. Feb. 4, 1878 is Vol. 21 No. 157, and Feb. 5 is Vol. 22 No. 2. No. 48 (March 31, 1878) missing. Large stain on front page of No. 54 makes reading it difficult, and extends through to two other sheets. Continuous to April 9, 1878 (issues 56), then next issue is May 24, 1878 (issue 95). Then discontinuous, followed by issues 98 (May 28), 106 (June 6), 108 (June 8), 111 (June 12) to 117 (With two engravings on front page, one of a portion of the Montana Territory and a smaller Birds-Eye View of Helena) to issue 126 (June 29, 1878). 103 issues in total from the first 6 months of 1878.
