NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

The ayerincreasing circulation OF this ex-
eellent manthly proves its continued adap-
tation to popular desires and needs In
deed, when We think into how many homes
it penetrates every month. We must consider
it as one OF the educators as we'll as enter
tanners of the public mind, for its vast pop
uiarity has been won by no appeal to stupid
preiudiees or depraved tastes.-Bosfon Globe.
The character which this magazine pos
sesses for variety, enterprise, artistic wealth,
and literary culture that it has kept pace
with, if it has not led the times, should cause
its conductors to regard It with iustifable
complacency. 1t also entities them to u
great claim upon the public gratitude. The
MAGAZINE has done good and not evil all the
days of its ife.-BrookIya Eagle,

Superintendent Scranton has re-
duced the force of employees on the
railroad to the lowest possible num-
Der, in order to justify the contin-
uance of the daily train during the
dull summer season. But one pas
senger coach is now attached to the
train, and ladies who have occasion
to travel upon the road must, per-
force, sit in the smoking car, which is
doubtless exceedingly unpleasant.
Considering the small additional ex-
pense attendant upon the drawing of
another coach, we view the discon-
tinuaaee of the ladies' car as an act
of questionable economy, that will
tend TO injure the popularity of the
road with the travelling public. j. S.
Towers, Esq, the former conductor,
has been transferred to the Mobile
division, and Mr.. A. L. Connors now
officiates ia his stead and makes an
efficient and courteous officer. The
periodical rumor of steps about to be
taken to complete the building of the
railroad to Houston is afloat again,
but it has deceived us so often that
We take precious little stock in it
now.

The building known as Lefevre's
clubhouse, which stands at the low
er corner of Mississippi street and
Railroad Avenue, is about to be re-
moved to the vacant lot corner of the
Avenue and Iberville street. We be-
lieye that Mr.. Henry Loeb, who owns
the lot upon which the building now
stands, contemplates the erection of
a fine brick store, at an early period,
and we hope he may carry the pro-
ject into execution.

If the weather should prove favor
able, the lovers of the national game
will doubtless have am opportunity of
witnessing, tomorrow, as closely
contested and interesting match as
has been played in this section within
the past three years. The Invincibles
of New River and the Burnsides of
Donalelsenville are booked for con-
test on the grounds of the latter, and
considering the fact that the Invinci-
bles are the acknowledged champions
of the New River region, and the adj
ditional fact that that the Burnside
nine have had no practice for several
months, the friends of our town boys
must not feel surprised if they should
fail to score victory.
