VIM. North, an English author, who committed sui.

out interest. The author was evidently man OF
education and feeling, and one who thought deeply,
but who lacked settled principles of action or any
religious belief worthy of the name. Still there is
strength and earnestness about the book which places
it out of the class of trash.

The Commercial of Tuesday has a long yarn
about the letter of Mr. George B. Loring to Henry A.
WISE which was enormously attributed by the Rich
mond Enquirer to Judge Loring of Cambridge. The
Commercial is rather behind the times. The Enqui.
rer corrected the mistake the next day after it was
made and the Journal in referring the letter which
it copied from the Enquirer, called attention to the
letter of Mr. Loring-not Judge Loring. The long
story from Concord Fusionst paper amounts to this
that at some former time-how many years ago, Mr.
Loring had been wing and a5oliicnist but having
