vJNHE number for January, 1856, begins the
l. Forty Second Nollme of the knickcrbock-
er Magazine.
Since the price Of subscription has been re-
duced from five to three dollars a year., the
circulation of the KNicKERBocKER has been
increased nearly -four TO one. In many places
ten are taken where there was but one before,
and through the year II has been steadily in
creasing. II il 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.
"Those familiar with the Editors Monthly
Gossip with his Readers have doubtless,
with ourselves, admired the Parental source
Of its wit and ioyonsncss. In this number
The Gossip holds on its way like some fair
rivulet glancing and dancing in the sunshine OF
n Nav morning. We used to wonder how
Mr.. Clark could hold out, expecting he must
certainly 'ct down in the coming number I;
but this number gives no sign of exhaustion"

pheasant, genial, delightful 'Old knickH y
Thy name is a suggestion OF things delectahle
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 delineatlon, ana
To side-splitting fun, a local habitation,
without which they might 20 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 tIelI
old dear home."-Courier, Burlington, Vt.
.The great care evinced in the selection OF
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 hlll-sldt
village in these chill winter hours, and is
drear and d~esolate without, we ask for M
more agreeable companion than the 'KN1cK'
ERBocKER'; for while its contents impair
valuable information, its sallics OF genuine
wit are a sovereign specific for all fits OF tn
blues or attacks of the horrors, and tim
passes merrily n."-Democrat, Doylestown
