has been more effectually done than usual, rs

half az much this, as no made last year. In

With the most favorable Fall, from all we can
learn, we are fully satisfied that tho general crop
cannot reach twc.thirds of what it did last year.

TIE Book TsApz--It is stated that the ag-

reaches tile extraordinary sum Of one million
two hundred thousand dollars. Tho American
people are great readers, and millions Of copies
of publications Of various kinds are distributed
throughout. the Union every year. Books on
all topics are issued, and VIC cannot but wonder
at times where the purchasers come from. And
vet, when we fceOllect that there are upwards Of
half million Of children in attendance upon the

surprise is apt to subside Give the people light,
improve their minds, and purify their morals,
