wrapped up, is there and strikes with telling
force to the very foundations Of disease.-1

OH the first Monday of next December, when shall
re-commence publishing the above named papers
They have been published so Icing, that most public

The Daily Globe will contain report of the De-
bates in both branches of Congress- as take down by
reporters equal at least, to any corps OF shorthand
writer's in this in pny other country. majority
