expressly for his peculiar talent and pro-
pensties. The parts Of Osmond, Hassan
and Angela, were sustained with peculiar
spirit, and received from the audience great
and well deserved applause. - ..ti-

GRlEVOUS.--We believe that no man Of
common sense will deny that money is Just
as essential to printer as to any other person
in the world. Ho can't eat either his types,

by an occurrence, which, we thank heaven. is
not an every day affair Being somewhat
pushed for cash we sent a very polite state

to certain Of our subscribers who like TO pay
their bills when thoy become due. The re

ceptable and welcome. But one Of these :

apologies, and unfeigned regrets. The IDan
was determined TO cut all connec ton with US,
and we were obliged to submit when no other
alternative remained. Now if any Of our
friends will point out 20 us some way Of get
