THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.

EDITED BY LOUIS GAYLORD CLARK.
TIME number for January, 1855, begins the
Forty Second Volume Of the Knickerbock-
er Magazine.
Since the price OF subscription has been re-
duced from five TO three dollars a year, the
circulation Of the KNIoKERBocKER has peeh
increased nearly four TO one. In many places
ten are taken where there was but one before,
and through the year IL has been steadily IN
creasing. II Is now offered as cheap as any
of the Magazines, all things considered. In
stead of making new and prodigious promises,
we submit a few extracts from notices OF late
numbers, which we might extend TO a number
Of pages.
oThose familiar with the Editors Monthly
Gossip with his Readers have doubtless,
with ourselves, admired the Parental source
of its wit and ioyousness. In this number
'The Gossip holds on its way like some fair
rivulet glancing and dancing In the sunshine OF
a NAV morning. We used to wonder how
Mr.. Clark could hold out, expecting he must
certainly 'let down in the coming number ;
but this number gives no sign of exhaustion"
Irrational Intelligencer, Washington.
"Pleasant, genial, delightful 'Old KnickP'
Thy name is a suggestion of things delectable
the sight of thy modest, fresh cover, a balm
to spiritual sore eyes a glance within thee,
best antidote for the blues. Thou hast given
to kindly humor, to piquant delineation, and
to side-splitting fun, a local habitation,'
without which they might go wandering over
the domain of letters, calling now and then
where a friendly door opened TO them but re-
fusing to be comforted for the loss of tlleiI
old dear home."-Courier, Burlington, Vt.
"The great care evinced in the selection oil
articles that adorn its pages, is a sufficient
guaranty that no contribution meets the eye Of
the reader but those which are known to be
worthy Of his perusal. When storms anc
wild tempests are sweeping DER our hillside
village in these chill winter hours, and Is
drear and desolate without, we ask for M
more agreeable companion than the 'KNIcK
E~RBocKER'; for while its contents impair
valuable information, its sallies of genuine
wit are a sovereign specific for all fits of tn,
blues or attacks of the horrors, and tint
passes merrily on."-Democrat, Doylestown
Penn. .fH.
"The -cKERBocK has been and will b,
a fact of its own a genuine living thing, al
the more desirable now that the new crop o
magazines, filled with articles pirated from
English authors, makes fresh home creations
more conspicuous and welcome."- New
York Christian Inquirer.
