...have received the Vox Humana, a musical journal published by George Woods & Co., organ-makers in Cambridgeport. The music is well selected, and much of the reading matter is interesting...

The best article in the Courant is the one on the Iconoclast. It demolishes that crazy sheet pretty thoroughly. We give a specimen: "The article on base ball is marvellously weak. The author has been so kind as to sum up his argument in syllogistic form, as follows: 'All men want...
