Boston newspaper brings to Us the thrilling eA-

important information from that quarter We are
compelled TO rely upon our correspondents, one oil

the most diigent persal of all the Boston dlurnals
1t is Boston that is prominently local IN It's re-

upon what we may call sensation news, for sale aud
for profit. In view of this, it publishes the most
absurd items. Mr. Everett has the toothache.

in the world in which scandal is more eagerly
caught up by the press, and better improved for
the sake Of pennies, than in Boston. Nowhere
else could the nastness of the Dalton affair have
been so long, 20 assiduously and so nosOmely

Candidly, and in spirit of Christian kindness, We
are willing to admit that Boston is just wicked as
