It is reported that a young woman named
Lewis, residing in Barree township, committed
suicide, on Sunday night, by poison. We have
endeavored to get the particulrrs of the case,
but have been unable to do so. She had been
at church on the evening of her death, and
shortly after her arrival home she was taken
dangerously ill. Rumor has it that disappoint
ment in a love affair was the incentive for her
to commit the rash act.
At an early hour on Saturday morning the
vicinity of Fourth and Mifflin streets presented
the appearance of a market for the sale of
second-hand wagons and carriages. A large
number of vehicles of this description had
been hauled to that point during the night by
mischievous boys, and their owners were not
in the best of moods when they discovered
the joke and were compelled to pull their ve
hicles home with them.
The coal wharf in this place has been aband
oned, but old railroaders give it as their opin
ion that ere long it will be re-stocked with
coal and go into use again. An occasional
engine is forced to coal here, and when such
is the case the conductor of the train has to
telegraph to Harrisburg for the privilege to do
so, and when received the engineer and fire
man have to do their own coaling. This is of
frequent occurrence, and considerable time is
lost.
A twelve-year old lad, named Leonard, was
kicked in the stomach by a mule, one day lsgt
week, at some point along the basin, in this
borough, from the effects of which be died a
few hours afterwards. The deceased was em
ployed as a driver on one of the boats lying
at the wharf, and was working about his team
at the time of the accident. The parents of
the deceased reside at Lockport, a short
distance east of Mt. Union, whither his re
mains were taken.
The stockholders of the Janiata Valley Camp
Meeting Association at their annual meeting
on the 7th inst., elected the following direc
tors for the ensuing year : S. H. McCoy, Jno•
A. McKee, J. M. Bell, J. Steiner, Jas. Low
ther, John Hamilton, J. W. Webber, J. W.
Speddy, C. W. Ashcom, K. M. King, Ste
vens, Lewis and Heister. Mr. Speddy, of
Port Royal, Juniata county, takes the place of
Jonathan Boynton, esq., of Clearfield. A div•
idtnd of 2 per cent. on the dollar was declared.
Mr. McCoy was re-elected President of the as
sociation.
Capt. Wilson, a postal clerk on the Fast
Line west, met with a serious accident at
Mifflintown, on Monday of last week, which
may cost him his life. lu passing that point
the train was going at the rate of about forty
miles an hour. When in the act of throwing
out the mail bag for that point, lie lost his
balance and fell out of the car. The occur
rence was not, it seems, noticed by others in
the car, but his absence was soon discovered,
and in a short time after they learned by tele
graph what had befallen him. He was found
on the track by a woman living in the vicinity,
and at once received proper attention. The
latest information from him was that his in
juries were very serious, and but little hope
entertained for his recovery.
An old tradesman advances the following
views on advertising : The first utility of fre
quent and regular advertising consists in this.
There is at all times a large class of persons,
both in country and town, who have no fixed
place for the purchase of certain necessary ar
ticles, and are ready to be swayed and drawn
toward any particular place which is earnestly
brought under their notice. Indifferent to all
they yield without hesitation- to the first who
asks. Then in the country a considerable
number of persons, who wish a supply of the
article advertised, do not know of any partic
ular plaee where it is to be got, and being
thus furnished with the address of a person
who can supply it, the one sale naturally leads
to much ulterior business. People in the coun
try are also liable to be favorably impressed
by a frequent sight of a name in the newspa
per. The advertising party acquires distinc.
Lion in their eyes, and thus they are led, in
making a choice, to prefer him.

IMPORTANT TO SCHOOL DIRECTORS
There has been a general inquiry from all
parts of the county as to why the war
rants of the State appropriation do not come .
In answer to this inquiry I take this means
of saying to all interested, that I wrote to the
Department of publics Instruetion in regard
to this matter some time ago, and received
the reply (dated Oct. $,) that on September 6th,
the State Treasurer authorized that Depart
ment to issue warrants to the amount of $200,-
000, with a request, however, to withhold all
warrants from certain counties (among them
Huntingdon, - ) for the reason that they were in
arrears with their State taxes. -I then wrote
to our County Treasurer, Mr: O. A. Miller,
and stated the case to him,. &c: . He replied ,
that to his kuowiedge Huntingdon county
does not owe one cent of State tax, that he
paid all the taxes assessed against our county
before the Ist of August, 1878, as he has done
every year since be has been in office .
Learning of the return of Dr. Wiekershare,
I applied to him personally a few days ago,
stating the progress of my inquiry up to this
point, and to-day I received an answer, per
G. S. Jones, Finance Clerk, referring me again
to the above mentioned request of the State
Treasurer to withhold, &c. for the same reason
as above given, and that in the absence of Dr.
Wickersham they thonght proper to comply
strictly with this request, although satisfied
that the proceeding was entirely arbitrary and
illegal on the part of the State Treasurer.
Dr. Wickersham is now exerting himself to
have the appropriation paid at the earliest
day possible, without regard to whether the
State taxes have been paid or not.
Another matter. A great many Boards of
Directors have, so far, failed to forward their
"Report of Secretary to County Superintend
ent," showing the names of teachers employed,
&c. At least the reports have not been re
ceived yet. These reports should be forward
ed as soon as teachers are employed. The
blank furnished for that purpose, itself bears
the directions ["To be forwarded as soon as
teachers are employed, as per School Law Di
gest of 1876, Section xxxix, page 26."] 411
Boards that have not forwarded their Report
are requested to do so immediately. It would
be a great convenience for me to have them,
and it is a great inconvenience not to have
them.
Directors whose districts are in Want of
Teacher's Monthly Report books, should notify
me of the fact immediately. I have a supply
op hand And will furnish them dnriag my
visiting tour if advised of the schools in need
of them, W. R. BAKER.
CQ. SUPT.
REPUBLICANS JUBILATE !
A Magnificent Demonstration !
MUSIC, BANNERS AND TORCHES !
HUNTINGDON A SEA OF FIRE !
In view of the glorious victory achieved by
the Republicans at the late election,the mem
bers of the Iloratio G. Fisher Club of this
place deemed it meet that they should give a
Grand Jubilee and Torch Light Parade on
Friday night last. The idea of such a dem
onstration did not present itself until Thurs
day evening, consequently the committee of
arrangements had only a few hours time in
which to perfect its arrangements. In that
short time, however, a number of transparen
cies were painted, music engaged and other
minor details arranged. Early on Friday eve
ning the members of the Club met at their
headquarters' in Yenter's Hall, where they
were joined by hundreds of ardent Republi
cans anxious to join the victorious party in
the last parade of the campaign. A com
mittee was appointed to march to the Union
Depot for the purpose of receiving the Altoona
City Band upon its arrival on the Philadelphia
Express. It soon arrived and was at once
marched to the Club room, where the proces
sion quickly formed and took up its line of
march over the previously laid out route,
which embraced all the principal streets of
the town. Along the entire route the houses
of Republicans were brilliantly illuminated
and handsomely decorated with bunting,
which called forth cheer after cheer from the
enthusiastic hundreds in line. This was one
of the largest, most enthusiastic and respect
able processions that bas paraded our streets
for a decade. Hundreds of citizens of all par
ties crowded the pavements to witness the
last Republican parade for 1878, and all had
to admit that it was a grand ending of one
of the warmest contnts known in Hunting
don county politics. After going over the
advertised route the procession returned to
the Diamond, where, after counter-marching
several times, it was disbanded amid the
victorious shouts of the "good men and true"
who bad battled for the right during the long
and arduous campaign just closed.
At the close of the parade loud calls being
made for P. M. Lytle, esq., that gentleman
made his appearance, and in a brief speech,
delivered in his happiest style, he kept the
large crowd in the best of humor, and was
frequently interrupted by the wildest applause
when be made a telling hit on some of the
local occurrences of the campaign.
The music for the occasion was furnished
by, Jule Neff's Altoona Band and Gantz's Third
Ward Band. There was also in line a "Craw
ford County Fiddle" and a large circular saw,
upon the latter of which a number of jenior
'Republicans made noise enough to have sat
isfied a band of Comanche braves. Gantz's
Band did good service during the campaign,
being always ready and willing, in season
and out of season, to do what it could for the
success of the party to which its members be
long.
LEAVES AND FERNS.-I.IOW TO PRE_
SERVE THEM AND NEW USES FOR THEM.—This
is the season when autumn leaves are in
order ; when the yellow foliage of the hickory,
the red brown of the oak and the crimson of
the maples are gathered to give us their
brightness in the coming dark days. It is
rather late for ferns, though many people
prefer to gather them after the early frosts
have touched them with white and brown,
thinking both that they keep better and are
prettier then, as combining more effectively
with the leaves. For boquets in baskets and
vases, ferns, leaves and grasses mixed together
are most effective. Window transparencies
look well of delicate ferns with a few bright
colored leaves. Ferns are simply pressed and
dried between sheets of blotting paper or
newspaper. Varnishing or waxing gives them
a stiff look which is utterly at variance with
their simple beauty. The London Queen
recommends the use of linseed oil, rubbing
.the ferns lightly with it, and then drying be
fore using. This, it says, preserves their
freshness in a remarkable degree. Leaves
may be treated in the same way ; but the most
satisfactory plan we have ever tried was iron
ing them with a moderately warm iron, the
iron rubbed—not too thickly—with the end of
a spermaceti candle.
Varnished leaves look well for lambrequins
and any other uses high upon the wall—
close to the eye the varnish gives them a stiff ,
unnatural look. A pretty mode of using
autumn leaves is in lamp shades. Cut the
shades the proper shape in stiff white paper,
when the leaves, which have been previously
dried and pressed, are arranged on it in a
wreath, and fastened securely by gum. The
whole is then covered with very coarse net,
and the edges bound with gilt or colored
paper. The effect of the light shining through
this shade is exceedingly pretty ; and it is
one of the cheap decorations which all persons
possessed of a little taste and ordinarily skilful
fingers, may make for themselves.
In pressing leaves be careful not to mash
them. A string tied around a large book will
usually give pressure enough. Never put the
leaves away damp nor in a damp place to dry
—they are almost sure to mould and injure
the color.
A pretty fernery which will, keep all winter
may be made by piling mosses and wood ferns
into an old platter. 4 partridge vine with its
bright berries will add much to its beauty. A
frame of bark tacked on around the outside
of the platter makes it as pretty as a far more
expensive vase, and all winter, if kept moist,
your home-made fernery will develop new
beauties every day.

LLVING TOO FAST.—Men are living too
fast. Idleness and indulgence have begotten
pride and discontent. The age is thirsty for
luxury. The very paupers of our cities scorn
the patched garments and simple fare which
once satisfied the well-to-do; the young clerk
must live in a house about as luxuriously
furnished as his employer's, though he steal
to support his establishment; the servants
rival their mistresses in the costliness and
elaborateness of their attire, though they do
it, they waste the savings which they may
need to keep them from want and ruin. The
young couple who begin at home must have
it as richly decorated as that of those who
have labored for years ; and there is an utter
unwillingness on the part of too many to be
content with simple surroundings. We must
change our standards of Judgment, and learn
to rate the people at what they are, and what
they have. This is a money worshiping age ;
men of vicious principles, through the clink
of gold, summon hosts of admirers ; others are
tolerated for the baubles the mob scramble
for; and still others are permitted to occupy
posts of honor, in the Church and State, which
they only obtain by their wealth. Men live in
the fear of gold, and not of God ; and seek the
honor of man and not the honor that cometh
from above.
There should :be a return to more simple,
more honest ways of living. It should be
deemed dishonorable to live beyond one's
means ; no man should be pneouraged tq
spend a few feverish years in luxury at tbq
risk of breaking down and making a dis
honorable ending.—Ex.
COURT PROCEEDINGS. —Whether it, is
the result of the election, or sore other cause,
the fact is very apparent that the business of
the Court of Quarter Sessions in Huntingdon
countydwindles down to almost nothing about
every two years, and this week's term is no
exception to the rule. Court opened on Mon
day morning as usual, and after the transac
tion of a little routine business, adjourned
until 2r. m. At the latter hour the grand
jury was sworn and sent out to find bills of
indictment. Of the four civil cases on this
week's list, the first (Kennedy vs. Kyler) was
discontinued; in the second case (Mary Pheas
ant vs. Samuel Pheasant's Ears.) the defendant
confessed judgment ; the third (Mrs. Elmira
M. Dougherty et al. vs. Wm. McCarthy) was
continued by consent, and the last could not
be tried on account of the absence of an im
portant witness. The Court sent word to the
grand jury to hurry up. An hour passed by
and no word from the grand jury. Judge
Dean then figured up the expense to the county
of holding court for fun and announced for
the benefit of . the District Attorney and the
grand jury that it cost the county $136 for
jurors alone on Monday. At last a bill was
ground out and brought down by the grand
jury. This was case No. 1, Commonwealth
vs. David Walls, Indictment : fornication and
bastardy. The grand jury retired. David
submitted to the usual penalty, and the Court
settled down to another wait. Another hour
passed, and the grand jury entered again.—
This time they brought in two bills of indict
ment. Cases No. 2 and 3. Commonwealth vs.
Franklin Price (for the enormous crime of
malicious mischief, to wit : digging up three
pecks of potatoes without the consent of the
owner,) and Commonwealth vs. John V.
Schmittel (F. and B. again). Franklin Price
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to pay a fine
of $lOO and go to the county jail for 30 days.
Schmittel claimed a trial and a jury was
sworn. The prosecutrix, Hannah Smith, swore
that Schmittel was the father of her child,
and Schmittel swore that he was not, although
he admitted to having had carnal knowledge
of Hannah several months before the time
fixed by the girl. The jury found him guilty.
On Tuesday morning the case of Common
wealth vs. Thomas Phillips, (bigamy) was
tried. It was proven that the defendant was
married on Sept. 2, 1877, by Esq. Mountain, at
Broad Top City, to Mrs. Catharine Cutler, that
he left her shortly afterwards and, on the 3rd
of October, 1877, - he was married by Justice
Jno. O. Murray, of this place, to Mrs. Lock l i
-
man a widow. The defense was that Mrs.
Cutler had a husband living at the time
Phillips married her and that therefore his
marriage to her was void. The Court in
charging the jury remarked that Pillips should
have obtained a divorce from Mrs. Cutler be
fore marrying Mrs. Lockman, and thus saved
himself from the trouble attending this prose
cution. On the evidence, however, the jury
could not convict Phillips, so he was ac
quitted, and the costs divided between him
and the prosecutor, Bernard McKillips.
Dyson Long, a Mount Union youth, was neat
tried for hazing a small boy named Johnny
Kimberland. The evidence was pretty clear
that Long had assaulted the boy, but the case
was so trifling that it ought not to have come
into Court, and evidently would not have,
except for a general family quarrel among the
parents of the boys, and it was in this view
perhaps that the jury acquitted the defendant,
and directed the costs to be divided between
the prosecutrix (Mrs. Kimberland) and the
defendant.
This being the last criminal case for trial,
a jury was sworn in the civil case, (Myers and
Stevenson vs. Silas Hess and Andrew Gleason)
and the remainder of the panel discharged for
the term. The other bills found by the grand
jury were disposed of as follows
Commonwealth vs. Win. H. Woods. Assault
and battery. Defendant submitted and was
fined $5,00.
Commonwealth vs. Prudence Long. Perjury.
Not a true bill, and prosecutors Elizabeth
Kimberlandaud Benjamin Galbraith sentenced
to pay costs.
Commonwealth vs. John Kimberland. Geo.
Kimberland, Charles Galbraith and Ferdinand
Galbraith. Malicious mischief, (a small boy
knocked an apple from a tree.) Not a true
bill and the prosecutrix, Prudence Long, or
dered to pay the costs.
Commonwealth vs. Alvin W. Edwards. Ob
taining goods under false pretenses. Continu
ed because the defendant is in the Penitenti
ary undergoing sentence for bigamy.
Commonwealth vs. Al. Tyhurst. Libel.
True bill. Continued to next sessions.
Other cases which were not sent before the
grand jury were also continued, namely : Com
monwealth vs. Wm. Mort. Fornication and
bastardy. Commonwealth vs. Elmer Clay
baugh. Same offense.
The time actually occupied in the trial of
the criminal cases this week before Judge
Dean and the petit jury,four hours and-a-half.
The grand jury retorned to the Court on
Tuesday afternoon a recommendation to au
thorize the County Commissioners of this coun
ty to purchase and deed to the State the
twenty acres and spring in Walker township
for the use of the Middle Penitentiary, and
stating the advantages which would result to
the county from the location at Huntingdon.
Among these it was stated that the amount
required to purchase the ground would be
saved in each year in the cost of transporta.
tion which is at present $33 per head ; that
the county would be saved the cost of erect
ing a new jail ; and greater security would
result in the detention of refractory prisoners
for trial in Court, &c. Judge Dean, in reply,
stated that he would examine the question
and determine whether it would be lawful to
approve such au appropriation.
The civil case, referred to above, was an
action of ejectment to recover possession of
lots 32 and 33 in Coalmont, containing a. store
and dwelling. The plaintiffs, Myers and
Stevenson claimed the title under a Sheriff's
deed to them dated January 14, 1876. The
defendant claimed title through a deed from
the former owner, E. H. Bentford, dated Dec.
16, 1875, nearly a month before the property
was sold from Bentford by the Sheriff. The
plaintiff in rebuttal claimed that the sale by
Bentford to Gleason was made to defraud
Bentford's creditors ; that the purchase money
was less than the value of the property, and
that instead of paying money or securing the
payment by mortgage, Gleason gave simple
promissory notes which Bentford could dis
pose of to innocent holders and thus keep the
money from his creditors, and that in filet
Bentford had actually declared to Esq. Brooks
several days before the sale to Gleason, his
failure in business, and his intention to save
the Coalmont property from the grasp of his
creditors. The jury was sent out on Tuesday
afternoon, and court adjourned.

A Goo!) INCOME FOR SOME ENERGET
IC LADY OR GENTLEMAN.—The Ohio Scale
Works,of Cincinnati, have just completed.and
are now introducing to the public, under the
title of the UNIVERSAL FAMILY SCALE, an
article that has always been needed in every
household ; and in a communication addressed
to the publishers of this paper, the proprietors
ask us to refer them to some reliable party
who will represent them iu introducing it to
the people of this county. It is very seldom
that a new article steps so suddenly into
universal favor. Housekeepers are loud in its
praise, for it possesses the merit of being
always ready; there are no weights to hunt
up and adjust, is always reliable—will not get
out of order—and is an ornament to the
kitchen. The description is simply a base
surmounted by a hollow column, in which
works a spiral spring so scientifically gauged
and adjusted as to weigh anything up to
twelve pounds with perfect accuracy. On the
top of the column is the platform on which
the articles to he weighed are placed. By the
mere turning of a screw the tare of the dish,
plate, or whatever you may use in weighing,
is taken out and the net weight given. House
keepers at once see its value in weighing
sugar or fruit, in making preserves or jellies,
or in testing the butcher's or grocer's weight,
and the thousand and one cases that occur
where something that should be weighed
accurately is necessary. The Scales are
handsomely painted and bronzed, and are sold
At about one-third the price charged for the
inferior scales of the same capacity. It seems
to us that nearly every family in this county
would want one, and it is certainly a rare
opportunty for some smart and energetic
party to pick up quite a nice little income
during the next few months. The Company
has agents in no more favorable location who
are making $5.00 to $6.00 per day, and there
are certainly several in this vicinity who can
do as well. We recommend such to address
the OHIO SCALE Worms, Elm and George

etc., will be cheerfully given them by mention

BOGUS CERTIFICATES.—It is no vile
drugged stuff, pretending to be made of
wonderful foreign roots,barks, &c., and puffed
up by long bogus certificates of pretended
miraculous cures, but a simple, pure, effective
medicine, made of well known valuable reme
dies, that furnishes its own certificate by its
cures. We refer to Hop Bitters, the purest
and best of medicines. See 'Truths" and
'Proverbs," in another column. [uovls-2t
In order to guard against results utterly
subversive of health, it is absolutely essential
that the grand thoroughfare or avenue of the
system, the bowels, should be re-opened as
speedily as possible when they become ob
structed. If•they are not the bile is misdirect
ed into the blood ; the liver becomes torpid ;
viscid bilious matter gets into the stomach,
and produces indigestion; headaches ensue,
and other symptoms are produced, which a
prolongation of the exciting cause only tends
to- aggravate. The aperient properties of
Elostetter's Stomach Bitters constitute a most
useful agent in overcoming constriction of the
bowels, and promoting a regular habit of body.
It is infinitely superior to the drastic cathartics
frequently used for the purpose, since it does
not, like them, act violently, but produces a
natural, painless effect, which does not impair
the tone of the evacuatory organs, which it
invigorates instead of weakens. The stomach
and liver, also, indeed the entire system, is
strengthened and regulated by it.

LITERARY IN.TOTES.-
Harper's Magazine for December opens with
four old Christmas poems ; by Ben Johnson,
George Wither, S. T. Coleridge, and Giles Fletcher.
Abby illustrates these with three remarkable
pictures ; the Christmas Waits, the Shepherds, and
the Madonna in the Stable.
An illustrated article on .England's Great Uni
versity," contributed by M. D. Conway, gives a
satisfactorily comprehensive view of the various
colleges of Oxford, the social life of the students,
the most eminent of the professors, and the work
accomplished by the University in promoting
scholarship in England. The illustrations are
picturesque and interesting.
The most interesting paper in the Number—
because of its humor—is the fun-provoking narra
tive of B. Munn Chowson of Dedham, concerning
the peculiar institutions of Icnoware--an island
upon which he is thrown by shipwreck. This
article is by Bose Terry Cooke, the author of
'Cal Culver and the Devil," in the October Harper.
The illustrations are as humorous as the letter
press.
The thrilling adventures of the "Red River
Colony" belong to the early pioneer history of the
West, and ea! told by General Chetlain, a descend
ant of one of the colonist. The satiolv is effective
ly illustrated.
T i overs of tousle have a rare treat given them
in the beautiful paper on Mendelssohn and Mo
scheles, covering a remarkably interesting era in
the progress of music both in England and Ger
many. The paper contains finely engraved por
traits of Mendelssohn, Moscheles, Handel, Von,
Weber, Bach, Thalberg, Robert and Clar4
mann, Beethoven, and Mozart.
An illustrated paper by Charles Barnard de
scribes the wining of silver in all its stages. The
brief paper on storm signals by E. H. Knight is
also very timely.
Ex-Governor Seymour, under the title "Crime
and Tramps," makes some important suggestions
as to the punishment of minor crimes. Dr. Coen,
in "Some P..culiarities of Yellow Jack," presents
very curious facts as to the migratory character
of yellow fever epidemics,' and other features of
the disease.' A. A. 'Hayes, Jr., contributes an
interesting and pill:ant description of the "First
137 W. 47th Street.
Re-Opening a Thoroughfare.
Railroad in China," the Woosung Railway—re
cently demolished by the Chinese.
Besides Mrs. Coolie's "Knoware," already men
tioned, there are three capital stories. "Two
Hundred and Two" is contributed by Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps; "Helen," by Alice Perry; and "A
Rescue from Cannibal.:," by Mrs. Frank M'Carthy.
" Poems are contributed by E. S. Phelps. Will.

The serial novels by Black and (lardy, conCnu
ed in this Nutnber, will be concluded in January,
to he fuliowed immediately with a new novel by
Miss Mulock.
The Editorial Department—including a fuller
Literary Record than usual—are up to their usual
standard, It must not be overlooked, in any
proper notice of this Magazine, that whatever may
be the variety and interest of any Number, there
is also an additional element of peculiar value in
the always timely and admirable contributions
making up the "Editor's Easy Chair."
reterEon'e Magazine for December more than
maintains its unrivalled character. There are
two beautiful steel engravings, besides a superb
steel fashion-plate, the latter exquisitely colored.
In addition, there is a magnificent Berlin pattern,
in worsted-work printed in colors, which at retail,
would cost fifty cents; this is presented to the
subscribers of "Peterson" as a Christmas gift. A
charming story, "Mrs Million," is as charmingly
illustrated. The number contains a Supplement
with a full-sized pattern, for a winter Paletot, the
pattern alone being worth more than the price of
the number. All these costly embellishments 'are
afforded by the enormous circulation of "Peterson,"
which, as the publisher says, enables him to give
morel', the money than any other. We cannot
leave this subject without sneaking of the very
high character of the stories in "Peterson." But
how can it be otherwise, when its regular contrib
utors are Ann S. Stephens, Frances Hodgson
Burnett, Frank Lee Benedict, Rebecca Harding
Davis, and that unrivalled humorist, the author of
"Josiah Alien's Wife," besides hosts of others 7
The price of the magazine is but TWO DOLLARS a
year. To clubs it is astonishingly low, viz: six
copies for nine dollars, with an extra copy to the
person getting up the club. Or seven copies for
ten dollars and a-half, with both an extra copy
and a superb, large-size premium engraving,
"Christ Blessing Little Children," to the person

The Eclectic Magazine for November contains
nineteen articles, and is sufficiently varied in
topic and method of treatment to please all classes
of readers. The portrait this month is a fine steel
engraving of the Rev William Adams, D. D., for
nearly forty years one of the leading clergyman
of New York and now President of the Union
Theological Seminary. The leading paper on
"Girordano Bruno and Galileo Galilei," is rich
in biographical interest and also contributes a
most instructive chapter to the early history of
science. "The age of the Sun and Earth," is
another scientific paper of the highest interest
and value, and the editorial department of "Science
and Art" is fresh and varied in its record of
scientific progress. In "The New Principles of
Industry," Mr. George Jacob Holyoke expounds
the philosophy and narrates the history of Cooper
ation; and in "Cyprus" the reader will find what
he most cares to know about this famous Mediter
ranean Island. "Brockilen Brown," is an appre
ciative biographical and critical sketch of the
earliest American novelist; and the account of
"The Plantin Museum at Antwerp," is wonder
fully curious. Other articles are: "The Poetic
Place of Matthew Arnold;" "The Old Home" (a
poem); "Child's Play ;" "A Ballad of Heroes;"
"The Speaker of the House of Commons ;" "Our
Dream" (a poem ;) four chapters of Black's
'`Macieod of Dare;" and the well-filled editorial
departments.—E. R. PELTON, Publisher, 25
