GT TIE True AMERICAN, daily evening pa
per. was started Yesterday by II. S. Bartlett, c.
K. Thompson and R. Croker. 1t is By far the
best paper yet issued in the Native interest,
and gives promise of advocating the principles OF
It's party without devotlng its columns to black
guarding personally its opponents. We can't go
the Native party any how, but we prefer to see
even our adversary's journals conducted IN such
way as not to disgrace the Press.

U "THE HARE BELL, a Token of Friend
ship a neat little gift-booh for the approaching
Holidays, will be published by G. Robins Jr.
Hartford, CT. Just before Christmas. It's edited by
Rev. C. w. EVEREST, and will be similar in char
acter to The Moss.Rose, prepared by him some
years ago, which was deservedly a favorite. The
vicious habit of publishing the coster ANIMALS
50 early that they are no longer novelties at the
Holidays will greatly favor The Hare Bell
II THE GARLAND OF Hops, translated from
the French, has Just been published. 1t is very
neat pocket volume OF Stories designed, we be-
lieye, to inculcate the value of Religion. We be-
lieye the writer is of the Catholic Church. E.

THE AMERICAN AGRICULTURlsT for DeCem-
Der has full description Of the processes OF
Grating also lucid papers on Wheat, the use of
Sea Mud, Red Mari, on Poultry, Southern Agr-
culture, Observations in England, &c.-How can
any man farm without taking an Agricultural
paper We would as soon think Of ship going

NJ WANDER1Nes ON THE SEAS AND SHORES OF
AFRICA, No. VII, has been issued by ]. ". Har-
rison. The author, Mr. D. +. Bacon, wields
powerful pen. He went out to Liberia under the
direction of the Colonization Society, returned
and now gives most dolelul de-
scrpton of the country and its people. Oppo-
nents Of Colonization cannot fail to relish 1t.
IL The HUTCHINSON FAMILY gave their Fare
we'll Concert in our City last evening to an i'm
mensc audience-not less than fifteen hundred
Niblos great Saloon was most uncomortably
crowded above and below, and even standing
room inside the door was obtained and retained
with difficulty. These native Vocallsts have do
served and achieved popularity.
And yet we must repeat that they have done
this in spite of their persistence in most pre-
posterous selection of metro. How can they
choose so badly Excelsior is a fine poem, but
no song-you might as we'll attempt to sing the
Ten Commandments. The Maniac has been
made popular by Russell, but the fact reflects no
credit on the Musical taste of our audiences
and Russcll's pieces always lose in other hands
Ior mouths) MY Mothers Bible is rather
pious than melodious. The Old Granite State
is very well for once, but wiN wear out and
The Lords Of Creation is ditty which no
young lady Of feeling and decacy should be
asked TO sing before thousand people 1t is low
in sentiment, and unjust to Woman.-We heart
lily rejoice in the popularity and good fortune of
these deserving Vocallsts; we hope they will
command success elsewhere as they have done
here but they must sing better Songs.
