JENNY LIND Mr.. Barnum has published
a card in the New York papers, announcing

Lind will close with the lO0ih concerts, and
that nine more concerts only remain to be
given, The public will be glad TO learn that

she has never authorized the statement that
the concerts which yet remain to be given by
her, under her engagement with Mr.. Barnum
will be her last in America and that after a
season Of repose and recreation, she may,
if her strength permits, make a professional
tour in Western New York and Canada.
1t seems that the Commanders OF the

chain. On the persons of two others we have
seen from $4,000 to $4,000 worth Of pearls

OF rich lace, and yet, all were bare-footed,

-DEAR GENERAL Allow me to enquire
through your paper, what has become of our
" Street Commissioners ?" Never, since my
remembrance, have our Streets been in worse

Echo answers where!

Speaking of the adjournment of the
Massachusetts Legislature, the New York Tri

if any such article found its way through tn
House, the Senate took good care oft.
