the country, this winter, and Lyceums and
Lecture Committees will do well to intersperse
their arrangements with one of his readings
We have heard many of the first readers IN the
cities, and were infinitely pleased with the life
like portraiture of scenes and characters, but no
more so than from listening to Judge Cults
readings during the session Of the Legislature.
Any one who is, or is not, familiar with Shaks-
peare, will find rich and indescribable treat in
these readings. We understand that arrange

Rutland st. Adams, and this place during the

tration paper, and printed by the publisher of
that paper, who uses the same matter in part
for both papers, complains that some of its sub
scribers are afraid the Messenger will become
merged in that Administration paper. All we
have to say to the Messenger is, it's position
looks suspicious, and we advise it to clear its
skirts of anything in favor of the Kansas int
putty.

publishing the Prize Historical Tale as fast al

while its Editor as Clerk, has made great pre-
tensions of favor to the several friends of Ties
measures. IF this report of double dealing il
incorrect, why does that paper refuse an ex
