Since the price ofsubscription has been reduced
from FIVE to THREE 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's now offered aseheap as
any of the magazines, all things considered. In
stead of making any new and prodigiOus proIni-
ses, submit few extracts from notices of late
numbers, which We might extent to q number of
pages;
sip with his Readers, have doubtless, with our
selves, admired the perennial source ofts pleasant
wit and joyousnesS. In this number The Cos
sip holds on its way like some fair riyuet glanc
ing and dancing in the sunshine ofa May morn
ing. Ne 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 Intelligencer, Washing
ton. ~ ID.
6. Pleasant, genial, delightful Old KNlckr Thy
name is suggestion of all things delectable; the
sight of thy modest fresh cover, balm to spirit
ual 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 q friendly door open
ed to them, but refusing to be comforted for the
loss of their old dear hOme."-L Courier, Burllng-
The great care evinced in the selection of arti-
clcs that adorn its pages, is sufficient guarantee
that contribution meets the eye of the reader
but those which are known to be worthy of his
perusal. When storms and wild tempests
sweeping O'cr our hillside village in these chill
winter hours and all is drear and deSolate without
we ask for no more agreeable companion than the
Kniekerbocker; for, while its contents impart val
liable information, its sallies of genuine wit
sovereign specific for all fits of the blues attacks
of the horrors, and time passes merrily on"
Democrat, Doyleston, Pa.
