We are pleased to learn front our exchange
that C. W. Easley, esq., the versatile local
editor of the Johnstown Tribune, who has
been off duty for repairs, has so improved in
health as to permit of his again assuming
charge of that paper.
When you see a boy idling his time out of
school on the street, you will notice that his
father is a man who can scarcely read or
write, but continually damning the govern
ment. These boys unless sent to school will
make the same kind of men.
On Saturday night some villain entered the
new meat market of Geo. IL Friedley and de
faced the freshly plastered walls by inserting
his knife in the plastering ant cutting it half
the distance of tTie building. such scoundrel
ism deserves the severest punishment.
George Washington Price, we understand,
has been engaged to superintend the Minne
halm restaurant, corner Fifth and Washington
streets, during the coming winter. And, don't
you forget it, George can do it as well as any
other individual this side of sun down.
A great many of the silver coins now in
circulation have holes punched through them.
All such mutilated coin will not be redeemed
by the government. The fine of $2,000 and
imprisonment for two years ought to be suffi
cient to deter people from defacing the coin.
About an acre of boxes arrived at the Bos
ton Boot and Shoe Store dtging the latter
part of last week, and goods are going at that
establishment like hot cakes, simply because
M'Cullough tells the people what he has, and
at what prices lie sells his goods. Adverti
sing will pay.

We hear it rumored that a couple of shining
lights in the Game Association, in this place,
killed it brace of pheasants one day last week.
If this he true we hope the person having the
knowledge of the fact in his possession, will
at once commence proceedings against them.
If guilty they certainly deserve punishment.
There is war among the "liver pad" men in
Lancaster. The people ought to make war on
the whole "caboodle" of them, for a greater
humbug than the so-called "liver pad" never
existed. A piece of sole leather contains as
much curative power as any of these pals, at
least this is our experience, and we have been
there.
Capt. H. C. Weaver, for many years a promi
nent citizen of this place, will next week start
for Kansas, where he intends to reside in the
future. We are sorry to lose Captain Weaver
from our midst, fur he has proven himself a
good citizen and a clever gentleman. We
wish him the best kind . of good fortune in his
new home.
The water in the Juniata is lower just now
than we have ever known it to be at this sea
son of the year. It is lower now than at any
time during the summer. Opposite Smithfield
there is scarcely any water iu the river chan
nel, and it almost gives one an attack of the
"Juniata jigs" to look at thn. bare stones and
river grass.
Our townsman, D. W. Proctor, esq., agent
for Appleton's series of school books, has
been awarded the contract for supplying the
public schools of Wheeling, Va., with Apple
ton's readers, fur a term of five years. Mr.
Proctor is a hard worker, understands his
business thoroughly, and we are glad to bear
of his success.
Our “Blnck List" is in course of prepara
tion frr publication; and when it appears you
can see the names of those persons who cheat
the printer out of his hard-earned money. It
will contain the names of some men who have
heretofore been looked upon as honest, but
the man who will cheat the printer is not
honest by a long shot.
The Mt. Union Times, as announced by us
last week, has appeared, with Dr. A. R. M'-
earthy it Co., as editors and proprietors. The
Doctor says that his paper will probably be
Independent Republican, but it will be par
ticularly un organ for the "Lower End" of the
county. The paper is quite readable and we
wish its management success and a fortune.
Perry county is having another dose of Al
bright. A 3 - cung rnan named Potter, who was
raised on adjoining farms with Sans Albright,
has made of that lie conversed with him
at a stone quarry near Williamsport. And in
Addition to this "Keeney" Albright, a brother
of Sam's, has had the Hammaker girl arrested
for peijury in swearing that she was the wife
of Miller the man murdered by Sam Albright.
Our friend, :sir. N. R. Corbin, has connected
himself with the old-established house of
Reeves, Partin & Co., Philadelphia, and is
now prepared to furnish his customers with
fresh groceries, &c., at prices which will en
able them to realize handsome profits. If any
of our readers happen in the city they will
find Mr. Corbin at 20 & 22 South Front street,
where he will sell them goods as cheap as any
house in the city.
Elisha Hoover, an individual who used to
visit this place, and palm himself off as a
medical practitioner, but who knew no more
about medicine than a dog did of theology,
has just been convicted and sentenced to pay
a fine of $200.00 for "violation of medical
practice" in Bedford county. If he should
happen to visit this section again we hope he
will have the same justice meted out to him
that lie has received in Bedford.
That Johnstown Tribune, of Tuesday evening
says that the family of Mr. George Boate, of
Conemaugh Borough, are being sadly afflicted,
as the second of their household joys departed
for a better world last evening—a bright little
girl who died front diphtheria. Still another
is lying dangerously ill with the ailment, with
but little chance of its recovery. Mr. Boate
is a native of this place, and his many friends
here will be sorry to bear of his sore affliction.
Our young friend, Joseph S. Cirmon, of
this place, was unfortunate enough to break
one of the small bones of one of his legs, on
Friday last, by being thrown from his wagon,
in the vic , nity of the Broad Top cut. Be was
hauling gravel from the bank of Jack Wert
ban, and in leaving it his wagon struck
against some object and precipitated him to
the ground with the result stated. His injury,
though not serious, will house him up for
sonic time.
The Johnstown papers speak hopefully of
the prospect for a railroad from that city to
Somerset in the near future. This would
connect them with the Pittsburgh and Con
ncllscille railroad, and be of immense im
portance to the city, as well as to the property
holders along the route. This project has
been mooted for a number of years, but so
far has never been carried out. The enter
prise is about to be commenced again, and
we would advise our Johnstown friends to
strike while the iron is hot.
On Saturday last we bad the- pleasure of
taking by the hand our old-time friend, Gcn.
U. C. McGill, who is spending a few days with
friends and acquaintances in this town and
vicinity. The General is now a citizen of
St. Mary's, where he has resided for a number
of years, and where, we are pleased to learn,
he is financially prospering. lie is the same
clever, social gentleinv as of yore, with whom
it is a real pleasure to chat of times long ago.
lie looks as young as lie did twenty years ago,
and is as merry as a cricket. Long may lie
wave.
(Lir 161.11.1: of the Primitire Chrixtion th is
week issue their paper in an eight page form
instead of sixteen pages, and submit 'it as a
sample number to their patrons for their de
cision as to which form they will prefer for
the coming volume. We like the appearance
of the number before us much better than the
old sixteen page style, and we think a vast
majority of their patrons will vote in favor of
the new departure. In addition to the change
in form they have added a very neat new
head, and the paper throughout presents a
clean, clear and handsome appearance.
Justice Whitehead, of West Chester, has in
his possession a copy of "l'ollok's Course of
Time," picked up on the battle field of Chan
cellorsvilie. In looking over the book a short
time since Mr. Whitehead discovered two in
scriptions upon the, fly leaves, one being,
"Samuel Wilson's June 18, 1843," and the
other, "John F. Wilson's, January 23, 1863,
camp Falmouth, Va., army on the move." The
West Chester American Republican publishes
these facts with the request that exchanges
notice the same, so that the proper owner of
the book may learn of its whereabouts and
reclaim his keepsake.
A gentleman in this city who was instru
mental last spring in sowing wild rice in the
Susquehanna from Sunbury to M'Cormick's
island, says that the grain is growing finely,
and in tiwe the ducks will have a splendid
feeding ground. Considerable opposition was
manifested to the project by people who re
sided along the river bank, many of them
having become possessed with the idea that
the rice stalks grew td the thickness of a tele
graph pole and would change the river bed so,
as to run the water over their farms. Some
of the rice was sowed along the Conodoguinet
creek, about a mile from the mouth, and it is
said to be growing fast.—fla)risburg Telegraph.
CLOSING EXERCISES OF TIIE CASS
VILLE NORMAL SetiOOL.—Elitor Journal :
Prof. J. F. Evans' Normal Select School, which
has been in session at this place during the
summer, closed on Friday evening, September
19, with a public exhibition.
Fully five hundred people were assembled
in the Seminary building, and all witness to
the very creditable manner in whiet the par
ticipants acquitted themselves. The exercises
consisted of declamations, dialogues, recita
tions, &c., interspersed with excellent music
by the School Glee Club and the Cassville
Band and Orchestra.
The first rendition of the evening was the
Salutatory by M. C. Taylor. This was fol
lowed by a declamation, subject, "Advice to
the Young," by W. Coleman Horton, and a
recitation by Anna Rindlaub. Next, 'A Mat
rimonial Tiff," by Misses Ada Guss and Lucy
Henderson and Mr. Dallas L. Miller, was well
performed. "Examining de Bump'," by Mas
ters Shoemaker twid Chilcote, furnished pro
vocation for many a roar. Charles T. Evans
followed in a declamation, which was very
creditably rendered. "The Scandal Monger"
portrayed the workings of a too common evil.
Then followed "The Old Man in the Model
Church," a declamation by David E. McClain,
and recitations by Emma Guss and Master
Frank Shoemaker. "The Fortune Hunter," a
dialogue, by R. W. Guss, M. C. Taylor and
Misses Sallie Evans, Ella Brown and Fannie
Eichelberger, was pronounced by many the.
best executed play of the evening. J.t was a
well enacted representation of the sorry plight
in which one was placed who sought for his
bride the richest of three sisters, but, failing
to know which was the heiress, proposed to
all and got none. "The Hypochondriac," by
D. L. Miller, was a faithful personation of a
human being afflicted with about all the ills
to which flesh is heir. Recitations by Luenda
Wright, Horace Brown, Huston E. Prough,
James Noble, Manon Du Prec and Hannah
Glasgow, followed. The next dialogue was
"A Shocking Mistake," by J. H. Crotsley, C.
M. Henderson, C. T. Evans, Maggie Hissong
and Loulie Henderson. Ia a short dialogue
by Homer Shoemaker and Bruce Hissong, the
audience were told "How a Cannon is Made."
The most mirth-piovoking performance of the
evening, "The Train to Mauro," by Fannie
Eichelberger, C. F. Evans and Miles Chilcote,
was a side-splitting representation of the
haps and mishaps of an over nervous old lady
from the country, who, with her irrepressible
son Johnny, is waiting for the train to-mor
row (Mauro'). An election stump speech,
containing much needed information for the
vottrs of Cassville, was delivered by Amos
Evans.
List of all carne the Valedictory, which was
delivered by Roland W. Uuss in a highly com
mendable manner. Prof. Evans, who super
vised the exercises, as well as those who con
tributed to their success, certainly deserves
great credit for the labor expended in afford
ing the public this highly enjoyable evening's
entertainment. J.
HUNTINGDON FOSSILS What the
Middle Penitentiary Quarrymen Found in the
liills.—A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times, writing from Huntingdon on the 231
ult., says : 'The members of the Middle Peni
tentiary Commission came up here on Tuesday
to take a look around and see how the work
progresses in getting ready the foundations
for the new penitentiary. You know the
superstructure will be a massive affair—about
ten feet thick. The material now being used
is the toughest sandstone, and this is quarried
out of the hills about two miles from here.
The quarrymen are busy on the side or the
mountain, where they have made an excava
tion from forty to seventy feet in depth. The
other day, when they blasted out a fragment
bigger than usual, a shout of surprise burst
from some of the men as they stooped over
and inspected it closely. Some of the others
went to them to see what had excited their
wonder. It was calculated to astonish them.
The surface of the slab appeared to be a
perfect mass of impressions of fossil shells,
flat, wrinkled and convoluted. The under
surface of the block showed none of the im
bedded remains, which appear to be in only
one stratum, and this does not recur elsewhere.
It appears to run back into the mountain.
Somehow Judge Paxson, of the Supreme
Court, heard about the matter. I don't know
whether the Judge is a conchologist or not,
but it is certain that he has written up here to
secure some specimens. When the Peniten
tiary Commission were here on Tuesday and
drove over to the quarries the 'find' was ex
hibited to them and Judge Paxson's request
was made known. Colonel Charles Thomson
Jones, in a spirit of facetiousness, proposed to
send the Judge a small fragment, weighing
about -half a ton, but reflected afterwards that
perhaps the accompanying freight bill would
make this too much of a good thing for a joke,
so he refrained. One thing is certain—the
specimens are very fine, and when their dis
covery becomes generally known the con
tractor and his workmen may expect a seige
from the collectors and museum wen all over
the country."
DEATH ON THE RAlL.—Charles F. West,
a brakeman on the P. It. R., met with an ac
cident at Warrior Ridge station, two miles
West of this place, on Tuesday morning,
which resulted in his death about six hours
later. When the train reached Warrioy's
Ridge Mr. West got on the top of one of the
cars to attend to the brakes, and his foot
striking a lump of coal, he lost his balance
and fell upon the track, the wheels passing
over him, cutting eff both legs above the
ankles and cutting off the fingers of the right
hand. The accident happened about half-past
2 o'clock A. m. Mr. West was immedialely
picked up and brought to this place, when Dr.
Weistling, the company's surgeon, was imme
diately summoned to attend him. He lingered
until a few minutes after 8 o'clock A. m., when
death ended his suffering.
The deceased was a sun of the Rev. Wm A.
West, pastor of the Westminister Presbyterian
church of Harrisburg, and was in the 21st
year of his age. When informed by the phy
sician that he could not live, and being asked
if he had anything to say, he replied, "tell my
hillier that I died in the faith of the gospel,
relying on the atoneicg merits ofJesus Christ."
His remains were neatly coffined and sent to
his sorrowing parents.

"LoWER END" ITEMS.—From the Mt
l'niou T,n' of last week we clip the fellow•
The house of Mr. Michael Myers, of Hill
Valley, which was destroyed he fire last spring,
and has since 'aim rebuilt, again ready fur
occupation.
C. 11. McCarthy, of SaHill°, is running
the flouring mill at that place. He never mill
ed before, but is said to make very good flour.
We learn that several parties, eastern cap
italists, are negotiating with B. It. Thom's,
jr., for the purchase of Matilda, Furnace, one
party havtog offered him sSii,ooo for the prop
erty.
A company is being formed in Mount Union
with several thousand dollars capital with
the intention of sending one or two prospec
tors to Leadville and other mining regions of
Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico, and ulti
mately to go into gold or silver mining if a
location be found.
.From the number of capitalists who weekly
visit Matilda Furnace to negotiate the lease
or purchase of the property it would appear
as if there would be no trouble in getting
some of them to take stock iu a new furnace
to be erected en this side of the river. And
iron could be made a great deal cheaper on
this side.
D. Etnier, jr., while in Colorado in 1859,
mined for gold in California Gulch where
Leadville now stands, and where millions of
dollars arenow being trade in silver mining. He
saw the "rotten" rocks which were afterwards
found to be so rich with silver but nobody
thought about silver there then, nor knew
anything about carbonate.
The East Broad Top Railroad Co., is making
some much needed improvements at their
yards at this place. A double track siding.
several hundred feet in length, is being gra
ded for the purpose of giving increased facili
ties for transferiug freight. The large increase
in the business of the company—particularly
in their iron business, has necessitated this
extension.
D. Etnier, jr., is off to Virginia on a tour of
inspection of the gold mines of the Fredericks
burg region. D. Etnier has had some expe
rience in mining gold in Colorado and-Cali
fornia and will be able to decide whether the
available gold fields in Virginia can be work
ed to advantage, If he finds the outlook fa
vorable he, with others from Mount Union,
will doubtless return to Virginia for the pur
pose et eeveloping some of the mines there.
There is little doubt but that it only requires
a little northern capital and energy to find
gold in paying quantities in that region. The
Whitehall mine near Fredericksburg was re
cently sold to a New York company for %M
-HO.
The Huntingdon JOCRNAL complains that
the roads in Walker township are bad ; and
says that petitions are circulating, and being
numerously signed, asking for the repair of
some of the public roads leading into Hun
tingdon. The JOURNAL man should travel ever
Some of the roads in this end of the county.
If some of the townships would levy about
one fourth of the amount of road tax that they
do, and apply it to paying two or three small
boys for going over the roads once a month
and picking out the loose stones it would be
money in the pocket of those who drive 8r
Raul over them. The law and practice now
in vogue in the making and repairing of our
public roads need reforming worse than the
civil service does ; and such a reform would
be of more account to us than three or four
civil reforms.
BROWN'S CARPET STORE is headquar

Though Shaking Like an Aspen Leaf
with the chills and fever, the victim of mala
ria may still recover by using the celebrated
specific, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
not only breaks up the most aggravated at
tacks, but prevents their recurrence. It is in
finitely preferable to quinine, not only be
cause it does the business far moreihorough
ly, but also on account of its perfect whole
someness and invigorating action upon the
entire system. Testimony is concurrent, pos
itive and ample, showing the decisive nature
of its effects, and that it is no mere palliative.
Physicians concede its excellence, and there
is a constant influx of communications from
persons in every class of society vouching
its merits, and bearing witness to its superi
ority over other remedies for malarial disease.
It is especially popular throughout the West,
wherever fever and ague prevails, as it does
in many of the fairest and most fertile por
tions of that vast region. 3 Iw.

WHAT OUR CORRESPONDENTS SAY.
Ma. EDITOR :—ln the Monitor of last week
I notice a somewhat long-winded and rather
frothy article, under the heading of "Another
reply to Civis of the Journal," which, upon
tirA reading struck one as containing more
sound than sense, a verification of tire old say
ing thati a narrow-necked bottle makes the
most noise in pouring out, and that Reuben
Ireland, if living, would. be obliged to look
out for his laurels as a literary author. In
reading Civis a moral lesson, he seems to lie
as usual fluent in the Scripture, and speaks
of some who "went to Jesus complaining of a
woman who had sinned." My understanding
'of the reading of that particular circumstance
was that they brought the woman to Jesus,
but however that may be I cannot quite see
the point aimed at by the learned writer. Ile
of course knows. This woman, as I under
stand it, was detected in a crime, the penalty
of which, under the law of Moses, was death,
but lie who bad power on earth to forgive
sins recognizing in her answer and in her
look the language of a truly penitent and sor
rowing heart, spoke the gracious words of
forgiveness, and sent her forth with the ad
monition to "sin no more," but I do not know
what He would have said had they brought
him a drunken man or woman. I do know that
lie was not sparing of His denunciation of
sin and hypocrisy and that publicly. Ele
spoke of one class of sinners as a "generation
of vipers," and with a scourge of small cords
on one occasion, he drove the money changers
from the temple, saying, "make not my
father's house a house of merchandise."
But then upon further consideration I have
concluded that perhaps owing to what might
be considered unpardonable stupidity or ig
norance on my part I have not been able to
comprehend the profound logic of the writer,
not being able to soar to the sublime heights
or descend to the profoudd depths of his lofty
conceptions, and if so I must be compelled to
remain on a lower plane than that which
he occupies, yielding of course to superior
wisdom and taking it for granted that he
knows all about "moral suasion," "abstract
morality," "fallen humanity," and the duties
incumbent upon us as good Samaritans to
cover up the sins and faults of our neighbors
and our neighbor's children, instead of bring
ing t•.em to publh notice. I would like, how
ever, to sit for a time at the feet of this great
Gamaliel of "ethics abstractly considered"
and apostle of moral suasion, and there learn
something of "the responsibility" resting be
tween members of the human family. I would
in this connection, like to know first what
amount of "moral suasion" it would require U
"shield from the public gaze" of a crowd of
drunken men and women, who were making a
public exhibition of th emselves in a railroad car.
It might also be interesting to some of us to
know, from his high stand point of morality,
something in regard to the payment of our
honest debts, and how to live ou our own
earnings instead of those. of others, also just
how to shield ourselves from the public gaze,
when hiding from our landlords during their
monthly collecting tour, or when being com
pelled to dive into the nearest alley to avoid
coming in contact with an importunate cred
itor. These, and many other things, might be
useful to the lower class of moralists, and I
have no doubt many of us would appreciate
the information.
LITERARY NOTES.---
The October Scribner opens with an important
paper on "Ups and Downs in Leadville," by
Ernest Ingersoll, with numerous illustrations by
Mrs. Mary Haßock Foote and J. Harrison Mills.
Text and pictures occupy 23 pages, and together
including the discovery of the mines,
the early
rush, the recent growth ; prospecting and "survey
ing in ;" a trip in a mine; the geological forma
tion; the practical working of the ores; Leadville
society, good and bad, etc., etc. Much reliable
information may be obtained from this paper.
Another seasonable paper deals with "Field
Sports in Minnesota," and is written by Charles
A. Zimmerman, a noted sportsman of St. Paul.
The peculiarities of crane, duck, and goose shoot
ing on the lake passes of that state, over decoys
and from stubble, are told in a lively narrative
style adapted to the non-sporting reader, and
supplemented by many picturesque drawing , .
An exquisitely soft and beautiful engraving, by
Mr. Cole. of Fortuny's "Piping Shepherd," ac
companies a poem by Charles de Kay, suggested
by the original painting.
Under the title of "Edison's system of Fast
Telegraphy," Edwin M. Fox describes the auto
matic telegraph which was in operation for a year
between New York and Washington, and of
which no full pnpular account has before been
published. By this system, it will be remembered
it was tound passible to transmit over a single
wire several thousan I words per minute, at a cost
but little greater than that before paid fur a single
short message. The operation of the line was
stopped by litigation, and may short y be resumed.
A notable feature of this paper is a new portrait
of Edison. by Francis Lathrop, which is pro
nounced by the inventor's assistants to be the
best y.t published.
The subject of the fifth paper in the Brazil
series, by Herbert H. Smith, is "Rio do Janiero,"
the illustrations representing scenery of the city
and vicinity, and the text considering chiefly the
obstacles to American trade and manufactures,
with much of general nterest.
Miss Kate field's sketch of W. S. Gilbert, in
the September number, is succeeded in thi by a
similar account of Arthur Sullivan, interspersed
with anecdotes of the boy and the man. A por
trait accompanies this paper.
The illustrated material comprises a suggestive
paper by John Arbuckle, entitled "Journaiism, as
exemplified by the late Mr. Bagehot," in which
the writer discuses the relations between journa!-
ism and literature, and the advantages and disad
vantages of the anonyinons method ; also the con
cluding paper on "English Spelling and Spelling
Reform ' by Prof. T. R. Lounsbury, of Yale, in
which he considers the arguments generally
advanced against the reforms proposed; a sketch
of unique and laughable experiences, by "Jack
Randotph," entitled "A Sailor in the Cotton
Field"; a full installment of Henry James's "Con
fidence," and the conclusion of Mrs. Burnett's
"Haworth's," which now gives way to Mr. Cable's
new novel of Creole life, "The Grandissimes";
two notable short stories: one of Roman life by
Mr. Boyesen, entitled "Annunciata," and the
other a vigorous dialect sketch by William Haw
ley Smith, entitled "Dick"—a piece of writing
which is soon to be added to the repertoire of a
prominent public reader. There are also poems
by Irwin Russell, A. B. Boyle, John Vance Cheny
and Wil iam M. Briggs.
803,
In his department 1)r. Holland writes of "The
Popular Wisdom" and "Good Talking." and
comments on a letter from Mr. Henry Biddle
taking objections to a previous paper on his recent
be oc. "Home and Society" contains a list of
"Parlor Plays" tor private theatricals, "A Short
Essay on Washing," and suggestions about "Fall
Work in the Rose Gardso." The books reviewed
are Stickney's "True Republic," Jelfrie a "Color-
Blindness," "The Macvey Napier Correspondencr,"
Bishop's "Detmold," Walford's "Cousin's," Blanu's
"Grammar oi Engraving and Painting," Molloy's
"Autumn Holiday on French Rivers," Green's
"Readings from English History," and Vincent's
"Gates of the Psalm Country." "Tne World's
Work" describes industrial and mechanical novel
ties, including "Experiments in Automatic Tele
graphy," "Regenerative System applied to Gas
light," "Testing Machine for Fabrics," etc., etc.,
an.l"Bric-a—Brae" is bright and welllustained.
The October number of St. Nicholas °low the
sixth volume of the magazine with an array of
features hard to match in interest for the little
folks.
Louisa M. A loot contributes the opening story
entitled "Jimmy'a Cruise in the `Pinafore,"' a
charming narrative illustrated with fine pbrtraits
of characters in the "Children's Pinafore," which
will delight every boy and girl who has heard the
famous operetta.
. _ .
The Elevated Railroads of New Yurk are de
scribed in a long article by Charles Barnard, and
with it are given eight admirable pictures of
various views along the lines of the three New
York Roads. The text and illustrations also show
how the roads were constructed, and together
furnish a capital and entertaing account of those
wonderful "Railroads in the Air."
"Noah's Ark Ashore," is the title of another
descriptive article which will be eagerly read by
every boy and girl. It is a well-told narrative of
a visit to a queer "Ark" on the Amazon river
which a kind-hearted native had turned into a
sort of asylum for beasts an birds of various
kinds. The story of this novel institution is very
interesting indeed, and the illustrations are
really superb. No finer pictures of animals have
been printed of late years than the eight beautiful
drawings which accompany this article.
Besides these, there is a timely little paper
telling all about the strange doings and mysteries
of "Halloween," and illustrated with a lovely
frontispiece; while a very "Curious Monastery"
is shown in a full-page picture; and a fa,scizatink
"School in the Woods" is described by Maurice
Thompson, the literary archer.
Of Stories there is a e"pital budget, beginning
with the two serials "Eyebright" and "A Jolly
Fellowship," which are both concluded in this
number with "climax" installments. Then there
is a lively fishing story—" Mr. Carothers' Secret,"
written by the author of "Dab Kinzer"• a pleas
ant fangiful tale by Moncure D. Conway, and a
strong home story for girls called "What Kate
'Found in the Well." "An Educational Breakfast
at the Peterkins," a very comical affair is told
about by Miss Lucretia P. Hale; Mary E. Brad
ley contributes a fine poem called "Duke Leopold's
Stone," for which Alfred Fredericks has drawn a
beautiful illustration ; and there are several funny
pictures and verses scattered throPgh the number,
while the Departments at the end will look at
least as inviting as ever to the young eyes that
read them so carefully every month.
ECLECTIC MAGAZINE.—The October number of
the Eclectic, con :tins a finely-executed portrait
on steel of Francis Parkman, one of the most
eminent of American historians; and the portrait
is accompanied by a brief but complete and inter
esting sketch of his life. The literary contents of
the number are as follows: "Hours in a Library—
Gray and his School," by Leslie Stephen ; "The
French Play in London," by Matthew Arnold;

Petersoit's•_ Magazine for October comes to us
ahead of all others. In addition to a beautiful
steel engraving, "The Golden Age," a picture in
the very highest style of art, it has a double-size
pattern, printed in colors, for a Tidy on JaTa can
vas, and one of the superb colored steel fashion
plates, with five figures, which it is alone in giving.
But "Peterson's" is not only a magazine of art
and fashion, it is one of literature also, and no
lady's book approaches it in its powerful stories
and novelets. Notably, among these are "The
Tragedy of Trevylan," by Mrs. Ann S. Stephens,
and "Miss Defarge," by Mrs. Frances Hodgson
Burnett, two novelets of exceptional merit even
for this periodical. In addition "Peterson" boasts
of such contributors as Frank Leo Benedict, Mrs.
R. Harding Davis, Marietta Holley, the author of
"Josiah Allen's Wife." etc.. etc. Then there is a
Supplement, with full-size diagram, containing a
pattern for a dress, which is alone worth the price
of the number. Tito terms of this, the cheapest
and best of the lady's books, are but two dollars a
year, with very great reduction* to clubs, and a
free copy and other premiums to those getting up
the club. Now is the time to begin to get up
clubs for ISM Specimens sent gratis, if written
for; to those w:shing to get up clubs. Address

We have received the Phrenological Journal
and Scienre of Hereth for October, and find it fill
ed with material at once lively. entertaining, crisp
instr u cti ve an d seasonable. The feltures which
constitute this a scientific publication with a spe
cial department are prominent, but discussed in
so pleasant a mminer that we scarcely know that
we are learning important principles as we read
the attractive pages. First in the order of con
tents we notice a leading railroad man, Daniel L.
Harris; and next there are some tell pertinent
remarks on Precocious Children, which we would
advise all doting fathers and mothers to examine
carefully. Then there is a pleasant little conver
sation on the nature of brain development, which
knocks the under-pinning out of the common talk
we hoar about "bumps" and "bumpology." Dr.
Wines provides a second letter on Prison Reform.
A new installment of Brain and Mind, entitled
The Physiologists and the Cerebellum, appears
in this number, in the course of which the writer
shows, with every appearance of candor, the mer
its of most of the literature nowadays current with
regard to the forritions of the cerebellum. We
think that Phrenology has decidedly the silvan
titre in the contest. Mr. Temple, in his third in
stallment of The American Novelist, writes down
some hard facts. A portrait is given of J. Chas
tine Cox, the murderer of Mrs. Hull, and a very
frank consideration of his character as indicated
by organization. Some hints are thrown out
which are suggestive of new and reasonable views
of the mental organism. Other topics of interest
are The Women of Italy; Rouse-cleaning; The Dif
ference; The Tea Americans Drink; Soldier-bound.
The department allotted to Correspondents is rich
in interesting counsel, and indeed the whole num
ber is worthy a careful, conscientious reading.
The Journal is now published at the low price of
$2,0) a year, with a valuable book premium worth
$1.50, and the balance of this year (three months)
free to new subscribers. A single number is 20
cents, but it is offered to new subscribers "On tri
al" three months, including October number, for
only 25 cents. Every reader of this paper should
send 25 cents at once and see for themselves the
peculiar merits and fascinating nature of this
magazine. Letters should be addressed to S. R.
Wells & Co., Publishers, 737 Broadway, New
York.
