Complim entary.

On entering our fortieth volume sew
eral weeks ago, many of our confreres
of the State press were kind enough to
make favorable mention of the
COURIER's anniversary. We had laid
the papers containing such notices
aside, but it ia probable that some
have been overlooked among the fol
lowing extracts. However, they all
have our assurance of the sincere ap-
probation of their kind words and
+ wishes for the COURIER

rise of the eurtain for the third act
