''rHE LAUREL: or Ladies Liierar,
Repository. The first number Of the
little sheet under this title was issued
from this press on Monday, and we have
the qualification of stating, that its re-
ception was more fattering even than
our highest anticipations of its success
previous to it's publication. We con-
Tess that we had not much faith in the
project Of starting work Of the sort in
this community, but nre happy to ac-
knowledge that we have found ourselves
most agreeably mistaken. TO a very
respectable list Of names which wei
obtained previous to the issuing of the
LIST number, we have since then made
numerous and constant additions, as
our subscription book will testify. =
There is now no fear as to tho papers
going ahead, we have come to the
conclusion that it shall go on, and it
only remains for those who would like

the end ofthc year make as neat and in

Those who would like to keep regu-

Of binding, had bettor secure the first

was in their power to obtain complete

Those who have subscription papers
for The Laurel, will have the goodness
10 forward the subscribers names by

them with tho first number before tho
edition is exhausted.
