JURISDICTION OF CouRrs," &c.-We this
week, present our readers with the temperate

on the jurisdictions of the Federal and State

ness cards of the principal Dealers. We trust
our patrons will look them over carefully, and
not forget the advantages when they visit OF
send orders to Boston, The papers should be
preserved with this object for future reference

VERMONT BoY.--The Boston Traveller, in
giving brief history of some of the leading
Publishing Houses of that city, has the follow
ing sketch of the house of L. P. Grown & Co.
Mr.. Crown was IA Green Mountain boy born and
brought up in Orange county, poor farmer
son, but like undreds of other young men, en-
tertained too much respect for his mother Earth
to spend his life in scratching her face, conse-
quently at the expiration of his minority left
his native State, for Massachusetts, detcrmin-
ed to do something in the world, and has sue
ceeded in building up one of the most extensive
publishing houses in their particular line in the
United States:
The young and enterprising firm of L. P
Crown & Co., was established in l849 Their

most prominent of which has been sour Parish"
and the next in rank Arthurs "Ten Nights in
Bar Room Their sales have averaged SO, 900
volumes a year, at an average cost of one dollar

during the past year have exceeded one hundred

Gov. Clark in his message to the Legislature,
recommended the employment of counsuls to de-
fend the interests of this State, involved In the
appeal taken by Virginia from the decision of
Judge Pain in the case of the Lemon slaves The
question has been the topic of exciting discussion
between the Hunkers and the anti slavery men in

by the two Houses -
