BA- We conclude in this paper, the excel
lent story of jacques St. Clair. 1t is much
longer then any we have heretofore given,
and it continuation for so great a length of
time, we were fearful would make it tedious
with our readers but the general expression
of favor with which it has been greeted, has
satisfied US to the contrary. It's thrilling mar
%rative, deep pathos, and wholesome lessons,
have made it a great favorite with all, and its
conclusion will generally be regretted. We
trust it's strong incidents and arguments have
convinced many of the dangerous consequent
ces resulting from dealing in the destructive
intoxicating beverages fact strongly ex-
emplifed by the graphic writer of this Story.
