that W ought to publish some extracts
from their f.vorite journals ths+ our
readers might see Of what kind Of stuff
they arc composed. The Muscstine
Courier has one or more enlightened
correspondents hailiug from Rochester,
10 this county. We doubt whether tho
villsRs Of that name contains all the
msauness that 6nds vent through the
Courier but 50 it appears 10 that paper.
