THE MASSACHUSETTS NrSNERY INSPECT,

The MASSACHUSETTS NrSNERY INSPECTION
Many good people were at first disguised
and indignant at the outrages committed by
the famous nunncry committee of the Mass
achusctts Know Nothing legislature, but
the whole thing had so many points about it
of the purely iarcical and ridiculous, that
instead of grave dcnunciation, We believe the
press have generally relaxed into broad
grin, and are now engaged in mcrcilcssly
pokins fun at the whole proceeding. We
give, on the first page, from the Boston pa
pcrs rich jeot TeslrA in the shape of re-
port Of the nunnery committee, and another,
in rhyme, immortaizing the acts of one
Joseph Hiss in the affair. Such of our read.
crs who can enjoy hearty laugh will find
them cminently provocative in that way.

The purchasers of the lands Of the Com

some arc returned Kansas cm.glailis, who
haye been deferred from settling in that new

committed by the Missouliaas upon their

that the greater portion Of the purchasers
have commended active operations for the
purposc Of settlement, and that soon there
will spring UP along the entire line Of the

country, conveniently interpreted with
thriving cities, towns crd villages.
