Mr. Kerr called to Philadelphia—A Game of Poker on Brooklyn Heights.—Both Killed in a Street Fight.”—This really looks like the skeleton of an interesting item, but it is only an excerpt from the New York Times* bulletin board of Jan. asth, “Do you know,” Said an infatuated youth to a young lady who preferred his room to his company— “*do you know that the comet of 1812, now visible, is travelling away from us at the rate of many millions of miles a day?” ‘No, I didn’t know it; but I wish a certain young man would imitate the comet and travel off at the same rate.” He travelled—but not quite so rapidly as the comet.— Norristown Herald, Tue New Haven Morning News insists that adver- tising pays.

Hundreds of professional and business men whose offices or counting-rooms are north of Franklin and Bromfield streets had for years called there daily to obtain their supply of current literature. Mr, Loring appeared smiling, and to all outward appearances as happy as ever in a store op- posite the Boston theatre, but for many of his old customers he was too far out of their accustomed walk. All these will be glad to hear that he is coming back. On and after Feb. rst he will be found in the new marble building just round the corner on Bromfield street, and A. K. Loring will be himself again as he hangs his magenta sign close by the spot where he won a world-wide reputation as a publisher and book- seller.—Boston Paper. IMPORTANT.
