FOur modesty forbids US expressing
an opinion as to the merits of the following compli-
ment from the llpton -10ceTttSeT:
THE DAILY MUscArNE JOURNAL has found its
way to our table for several days past, for which
the proprietor has our sincere thanks. The Jour
nal is go-ahead paper, and shows much spirit and
energy on the part of its conductor. 1t is not SO
large some of its contemporaries, but that it
soon will be, we have no doubt. 1t is thoroughly
devoted to Repubicanism, and the interests Of its
own city. The Weekly Journal is a large sheet of
just the kind that every body wants.

~The pavements on the sunny sides of
houses are becoming the theatre of exciting games
of marble among the embryo sovereigns. We

most expert at this ancient game venturing to play
it blindtolded in imitation of the champion chess
players who have recently become so famous.
