THE KNIoKERBocKER. last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely and beautiful type, in all Its de-
partments; and in its rich and diversified contents,
continues to vindicate its reputation IA the most
agreeable and entertaining Magazine published in

that of any American Monthly; fact which liter

which the work has been conducted No number
of the X. has been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear indubtabe evidence Of edi.
torial care, and anxious thought, and
labor enstamped upon it's pages. We have known
