No MORE PRINTERS WAErED.-For
the information Of printers throughout the
country, we would state that no more
printers are wanted In the newspaper 9th
ces in this city. The situations vacated
by the recent strike were all filled on
Friday. We received over twenty appli-
cations on Friday, which we were obliged
to reject and many Of them were from
first class compositors. This fact shows
that the supply of printers is largely in
excessof the demand. owing to causes to
which we have already alluded.-[ Boston
