THE number for january, 1855, win be the first
u of the XII Volume of the Kniekerbocker
Magazine.
from FIVE to.rHREE dollars year, the circulation
of the Knickerbocker has been increased nearly
four to one. In many places ten are sold where
but one before, and through the year has been
steadily increasing. It is now offered cheap as
any of the magazines, all things considered. In
stead of making any new and prodigious promi-
ses, we submit few extracts from notices of late
numbers, which we might extent TO q number of
pages c.,,,,or viii, the EDITORS ,ro,tb,v .cos
sip, with his Readers, have doubtless, with
selves admired the perennial source ofts pleasant
wit and ioyousness. In this number The Cos
sip holds on its way like some fair rivulet, glanc
ing and dancing in the sunshine ola May morn
n.y. We used to wonder how Mr.. Clarke held out
expecting he must certainly snow-brown' in the
coming number: but this number gives no sign of
exhaustion."-[ National lntelligeneer, Washing
Pheasant, genial, delightful Old KNlckr Thy
name is a suggestion of all things delectable the
sight of thy modest, fresh cover balm to spirit
ual sore eyes; glance within thee, the best anti
dote for the blues. Thou hast given to kindly hu-
mour, to piquant delineation, and to side-split-
ting fun, local habitatiOn,' without which they
might go wandering over the domain of letters,
calling now and then where friendly door open
ed to them, but refusing to be comforted for the
loss of their old dear home."-[Courier, Burling
ton, VT.
sThe great care evinced in the selection of arti-
clcs that adorn its pages, is sufficient guarantee
that no contribution meets the eye of the reader
but those which are known to be worthy of his
perusal. When storms and wild tempests are
sweeping DER hillside village in these chill
winter hours and all is drear and desolate without
we ask for more agreeable companion than the
Knickerbocker; for, while its contents impart val
liable information, its sallies of genuine wit are
sovereign specific for all fits of the blues attacks
of the horrors, and time passes merrily on"
