daily evening paper published by Taylor
Hite & Co., was made last Monday evening"
1t is six-column folio paper, and its hrs
number, dated Feb. 26th, was issued under
the great difficulties that usually attend the
first publication of new paper, and before
some of their type had been received, ane
among them the title head, in the place Of
which one had to be made with job type
which, however, looks very we'll. This new
paper commences with a good array of adver
tisements, which constitute the main supper
of newspaper, and without which it canno
exist. IL is conducted by experienced news
paper men and practical printers who viii
publish newsy and interesting paper.
The salutatory of the editor is IN good tast'
and is we'll written. 1t is modest, which is al
evidence of merit, and its policy, as indicated
will be conservative, and its manner, to it
contemporaries, friendly and courteous.

of the knife did not enter the cavity, and he
will soon recover.
