WOULDST like to know, O gentle reader, of the pleasures and pains of Hare and Hounds? then listen to the mournful story of Ferdinand Van Rasselas.

...call attention to the announcement of the lectures on subjects of finance and political economy which are to be given by the Hon. Hugh McCulloch in Sanders Theatre.
