The NORTH STAR.--We intended to have
said before, that tho North Star, that excellent
paper at Danvile, has been both enlarged and
improved. For uniformly judicious selections
and plain, 0npretendin. commonsense editori-
ais, few papers in New England have, for the
last forty years, sustained themselves so well,
and cre1ltably, as the Star.
THE BosroN BEE also, has put on new
dress with the new year, and what is better, the
Bee can pay for it, We like these Bee folks for
their industry and enterprise. And the same
exertlons by which they have made a good
newspaper, must, we think, have made them
prosperous in their financial condition.
TIE BURLINGTON SENTINEL has been pur-
chased by John G. SAKE, who cannot fail, we
think, to make 1t an interesting and able sheet,
which we expect to be compelled 10 condemn Tor
its politics, but never Tor any want of manliness
in the manner in which it will be conducted
Mr. s. IS known mostly to the public as wit
and satlrist; but this, as excellent as it is in its
way, does not, by any means, give fair idea of
the whole man, who has an enlarged and cult
waited mind, and who may, if he will, make him
self known for high intellectual efforts.
THE WIG ALMANAC FOR 1851, by Greeley
& McElrath, is worth its price for the mileage
table alone, showing what each member Of Con-
gress receives for his travel; got up by the in
defatgable Greeley, who makes as good an Al
manac as he does newspaper,-ard who, with
all his occasional political derections, is n man
whom we in Vermont should be proud of.
INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE for Jan. is, lik'
its predecessors, excellent This magazine,
with its judcious intermInghng of the insruc-
tive and entertaining, is worth more than all the
pArlor magazines in America and we sincerely
hope it will supersede them all, till they can be
brought to believe that we in the country can
appreciate something else besides Della Cruscd
sentiment, aud more than "twice .told' love.sto-

ADDRESS BEFORE TINE HIsToRICAL So. AMI
LEGISLATURE, Oct, l650--We mention this bu
to correct small error In a name. In the ap'
pendx, the name of the member of the Councl
OF Safety, who deserted to the British is giver
as Abel Spencer. 1t should nave been Benla'
min Spencer. Ira Allen, from whose work the
extract, giving thi, name. was taken, wrote it ii
Londoo, from memory, and hence the mistake
for the correction of which we are Indebted tt
distinguished friend in RutIaRd County, who
is authority on these matters.
