Dr. Peters on Afrioan Wonders.
Lively news is received from Germett
Africa. Two expeditions are now on the
move. One intends to restooe the caravan

the Victoria Nyanza lake. It was got up by
the blest Af Hoe company with money reused

received with guest) con don, because tone 01
the numerous travelers that passed these

amount of inaccuracy, which lands color to
the doubts expressed regarding 1110 reports.
