Mr.. Willis will continue his usual editorial abors
writing on the passing topics of interest, as they
occur. He will also give, from time to time, pass
ages from his Travels in the Tropics, and in the
South and West. His entire time being devoted to

are among the necessities of the time to which we
shall endeavour to attract public attention.
