NOTICE. subscribers have reduced the

lax ition, in order that wo m iy resume our several parts, with invigorated strength and energy. Hut nt'iat is thi rcv.v of amusement with which we stand chugcd r How could we have avoided the dif fiv'tiities under which we lab.n ? Where and when, have we expended monev and time improperly ? U'c need scarcely glance at our cet. duct two years jgo, to iied an answer to all those questions. Several thousand dollars were expended by our good citizens, in a few months upon a dancing master, a portrait painter, and a theatrical company Mich of those soir ees of expenditure, are w lien U nited to our means, proper inough but to lay out suc't vast sums of monev, at a time when the deepest peouniaiy em barrassment was fast appioching when many other ways of laying out this money to public advantage, presented, w as certainly improper. Instead of supportinga dancing school, why did we not lend our aid more effectually to support a school, teaching the rudemem of an engiish education ? Instead ol paying I 2 or S'5v)0 to a portrait pointer, why was not that sum appropriated to support a cleryvnun, whose character, whose intctest, and whose hopes was identified with our own? Instead of expending 3 or SP'(0 upon a theatric d comp nv, w hy did we not erect a house of pub ic worship.

which, to the disgrace ot Vincennes. we are without; except, indeed, an oil Honinn chapel, erected by the French ? Instead of our numerous dancing, ant' card pa ties, why was not mori- attention paid to the Sunday school, which was founded bv private exertions, much to the honor pf its projectors ? and lastlv , why do we not curtail our expenditui e for amusements, and endeavor to improve our town, so as to preserve the h- tilth ot our ei-i-zens, which is theprinetpil thing in cv ssarv for its prosperity I 1 he answer to
