Professor,Read puts forth a counter advertisement, in which he states, that although he has no special agencies in Califor- nia, Havana, and otbersimall places, he is fully Beaty to post bills on the shortest notice in China, the Sandwich Islands, Jerusalem, Bra- zil, at the sources of the Nile, on every peak of the Alps, and allover the North Pole.
