REPRESENTATIVE NOMINATIONS.
The proceedings of the Representative
Conferees will be found in another column
of the STAR. They met on last Friday, Sep
tember 9th, 1859, Rt Tuukhannoek, Wyo
ming county, and placed in nomination Hon.
SAMUEL OAKS, of Moniour county, and Hon.
GEO. D. JACKSON, of Sullivan county, for
Assembly. This nomination suits the peo
ple : it is one that will receive a generous
and hearty support from the voters of this
representative district. They have been
unanimously nominated, and signs indicate
tor them a handsome majority this fall over
the arrogant Opposition. They are men
perfectly honest, capable and worthy ; just
such men as the voters ol this Legislative
District wish to have to represent them at
llarrisburg. Anything the Opposition may
say or do will not interfere with their elec
tion. It may be expected of the Opposition
to raise all kinds of electioneering stories
lor the purpose of accomplishing their ends,
but in this instance, we trust, they will be
to r.o avail.
The Democratic Ticket.
Il is truly said, that union and harmony
is essential to the success of any party, and
we are therefore highly gratified to learn
lhat the Democrats in all parts of Columbia j
county are not only satisfied but well pleas- I
ed with the ticket formed by our late Dem- j
ocratic Convention.
We say we are gratified with this stale of;
affairs, because opposition to any part of
the ticket is always sure to work great injury
to the whole, and he who opposes one can
didate would probably do less injury to the
whole ticket by opposing all. He who will
do this, after nominations are made, is not
worthy of the appellation ol Democrat. We
hope there are few. if any such men in the
Democratic party.
All our candidates are worthy and deser
ving Democrats, honest men and well qual
ified for the positions for which they are
nominated, and hence they are entitled to
the cordial support of every man who |
claims to be a Democrat. This they will
receive and we therefore regard their elec
tion as a fixed fact.
Representative Conference.
The Conferees representing this Repre
sentative District, composed of the counties
of Columbia, Montour, Wyoming and Sul
livan, met at Tunkhannock, on Friday,
Sept. 9th, 1859, and nominated candidates
for Assembly.
The following were the conferees present.
Columbia —Peter Billmeyer and Hudson
Owen.
Montour —William McNinch and James
Auld.
Wyoming —Alvin Day and C. D Gearhart.
Sullivan —Michael Meylert and B. Rush
Jackson.
The meeting was organized by appointing
PETER BILLMEYKR. President, Michael Mey
lert and Alvin Day, Secretaries.
The Conferees having presented their
credentials, and all proving satisfactorily to
the Conference, Wm. McNinch nominated
Samuel Oakes, of Montour county, and Mi
chael Meylert nominated George D. Jack
roil, of Sullivan county, to represent this
Representative District in our State Legisla
ture.
On motion the nominations were closed.
Samuel Oakes, of Montour county, and
George D.Jackson, of Sullivan county, were
declared unanimously nominated by the
Conference.
The next Conference was nppointed to be
held at John Deen's Hotel, in Danville,
Montour county, on the second Friday in
September next.
There being no more business, the Con
ference then adjourned.
PETER BILLMEYER, President.

HEART OF MID-LOTHIAN. By Sir Waller
Scott.—Forming the eleventh volume ol the
cheap and popular weekly publication of
the Waverley Novels for the Million, at 25
cents each, being issued by T. B. Peterson
& Brothers, Philadelphia. This enterpris
ing firm are doing a great public benefit in
thus placing before the whole reading com
munity, nine-tenths of whom are obliged to
be economical in literary luxuries, the works
of Sir WALTER SCOTT in the present cheap
and popular form. Each volume is got up
HI a neat style, all of the same size, and are
printed at the rale of 25 cents a volume, or
the whole twenty-six volumes for five dol
lars, and sent free ol postage to all, on re
ceipt of this sum. This low price should
place a set of them within the reach of eve
rybody in the land.
Tate and llnrtly's Magic.
There appeared in the laßt Columbia Dem
ocrat, published by that unscrupulous rascal,
Levi L. Tale, formerly from the rugged
mountains of Clearfield county, a silly com
munication attempting to find fault with a
certain local article that was published in
our last issue in relation to street brawling
and certain itinerant gentlemen retailing
their cure alls and humbiiging the people
As a publisher of a newspaper it is our duty
to notice audi things, and all good and sen
sible men give us credit in so doing. Our ar
ticle appears to have pinched the toes of
Levi, consequently he publishes a flimsy
article over the signature of "Proprietor of
Hardy's Magic Remedy."
We were not aware at the time Ihat our
neighbor had a supply ol Patent medicines,
(such as Rowland's Fever and Ague Mix
lure, Hoofland's German Bitters, Horse Lin
iment, Pills, &c.,) on hand for sale, or we
would probably have modified our article
slightly; for we abhor interfering with the
business ol a neighbor, especially if we
know that he has a genuine article for sale.
II the ignoramus is not betrayed by his
squeaking voice, he is certainly betrayed by
his ignorance, as we did not state in our ar
ticle that pills and ointment were offered for
sale during Court. Had we stated that pills
and ointment were offered for sale and Levi
or the Magic man did not offer any, why
then should they disturb their shallow brains
at writing a communication.
It is plainly to be understood why Levi
opens his columns in defence of pills and
ointment. By a glance over his paper the
whole secret is solved to perfection, as all
kinds of pills and ointments will there be
seen conspicuously advertised. More, he
keeps the articles tor sale.
In a lormer number of the Columbia Dem
ocrat Levi announced, and he wished it dis
tinctly understood, that he would not hold
communication with the STAR nor never con
sent to hold respectable intercourse with its
party. In this case he has made a talse as
sertion ; one that we had not expected of
the sarcastic Levi. Although this is charac
teristic of the man ar.d his paper.
Another proof that he or his paper can
not be relied upon for veracity presents its
elf to us. In the twenty-first number of
j his paper, present volume, previous to the
| County nomination, he slated that all an
j iiouncements of Candidates are required to
be pre-paid to appear in the Columbia Demo
crat. That is to say, no announcement can
! appear in his paper unless paid for in ad
! vance This is the inference people would
! draw from from his language.
Well, did he carry this out I We will an
swer the question by saying that we heard
him complaining to a friend of ours, saying
that for six announcements in his paper he
had received pay but for one, and that one,
if we understood him correctly, he said had
belter not have paid, intimating that that
one would be defeated. We understood
I who his allusion was to.
j The public can safely put Levi down as
| a humbug, not-because he upholds hum
j bugism for pay, in his paper, but that he is
j a humbug in every instance, and a half a
i judge would be satisfied with that fact.
; We will now use Levi's language, as it
was undoubtedly written by himself for his
own history : "Now the best thing he can
do, is to retire into private life, [why did he
not say as he undoubtedly will have to] (as
he would not be missed) or learn to let other
peoples' business alone, and try to make a
living by minding his own business."
So say we ; them's our Fenliments. Sup
pose you set the example, you are the old
est, and you can never learn younger. By
strict attention to your own business you
might have accumulated considerable wealth
by this time and be fullj prepared to "retire
into the shades of private life" with a char
acter, in the estimation of your neighbors,
much better than the one you possess.
ADVANCE PAYMENT FOR NEWSPAPERS —In
looking over some old papers a few days
since, our eye fell upon the following, which
suits our notion of things so well, that we
give it room in our column, and hope that
it will be read, not by our patrons alone,
and heeded. It reads thus :
No subscriber worth retaining, will object
to the pay-in-advance system. Those who
wanted to hear Jenny Lind sing, had to pay
in advance; and what were her divinest
strains compared with those which flow
from editorial pens? You can't take your
seat in a ricketty mail-coach, or fly-from
the-tract railroad car, without paying in ad
vance for the risk of being killed. If you
would hear a concert, or literary lecture;
or see Tom Thumb or the Siamese Twins
you must plank down your twenty-five, or
tilty, or one hundred cents, before you can
fiass the threshold. Nay, if any one has so
ittle regard for his own character as to want
to read Barnuni's Autobiography, he must
first pay for it. And yet men hesitate and
cavil about paying in advance lor a paper
furnished at a price on the very brink and
utmost nerve of prime cost.
THE FORTUNES or Nicer.. fly Sir Waller
Scotl. lleing the twelfth volume of T. S. Peter
son If Bro 1 hers, cheap weekly issue of Waveily
Novels Jor the Million.
The world-wide reputation of the Waver
ley Novels will insure a ready sale of this
cheap edition, and prove, we trust, remun
erative to the enterprising publishers. It is
commendable to do anything that will, even
in a small degree, stay the present raging
appetite lor pernicious light reading. By
satisfying the carvings of those who desire
fiction with some of the healthiest of its or
der, is preventing evil, and negatively, at
least, doing good. There are no works of
the imagination which can so effectually ac
complish this as the novels of Sir Walter
Scott. They, to say nothing more, are harm
less. It is even astonishing that through so
many volumes there should be found so lit
tle that religion or morality would disap
prove. For beauty of style, copiousness of
expression, vividness of description, and in
terest of subject, Scott stands in the foremos t
rank. His works will be read always with
interest, and not unfrequently with profit.
One volume is issued every Saturday, and
each one is got up in a neat style, all of the
satne size, and are printed at the rate of 25
cents a volume, or the whole twenty-six vol
umes for five dollars, and sent free of post
age to all, on receipt of this sum. lhis low
price should place a sett of them within the
each of everybody in the land.
President Making.
Undoubtedly a new era in Piesident ma
king has suddenly been inaugurated. In
the good old times of our forefathers, grea t
men were of slow growth, and honors were
thrust upon them, rather than being
to them objects of pursuit. Hence
it has but rarely happened that
the highest honor which a civilized
nation can confer has been the aim of
unremitting, open and avowed effort. Pos
sibly in this as in all other pursuits, there is
progress and a necessity to keep even with
the times. The telepraph ar.d the Associa
ted Press are late combinations for annihi
lating time and space, as well as for distri-
Jbuling to any quarter of the country the ac
tions of the community, and the thoughts of
the great. Nor is the present system of i
newspaper corresonding of a very ancient'
date ; indeed, it may be said '.hat ils pecu
liar influence has been appreciated only in
the last lew years.
These effects of progress unknown in
olden times, are at the disposition of any
aspiring man of the present day, who seeks
to till the public ear and persuade the pub
lic mind ihat true greatness is not departed.
Add to these applances, clubs and coteries
of especial friends judiciously selected and
spotted in different States; also here and
there, an individual organ to collect and
publish saying and doings of correspond
ents and especial friends; and finally, let
there be pre arranged receptions, with high
falutiu' speechifying amidst the cannons'
roar, &c., to glut the telegraph with mid
night despatches and fill the columns of the
Associated Press, and we have a glimmer
ing notion of the means employed in this
progressive age to accomplish a Presiden
tial destiny. After all the use of these won
derful engines for the purpose of forming
public sentiment, may be commendable.
Republics are said to be ungrateful, and
slow to reward modest merit—hence many
a flower might be born to blush unseen,
and wither in the desert air of ingratitude if
they could not be transplanted into the
modern hot house ol Buncombe, Humbug
St Co.
We are led to make these remarks from
observing the ponderous, complex and ex
pansive machinery now employed by a
prominent aspirant for Presidential honors
History aflord r.o parallel, and politics are
put to the blush at the very contemplation
of the stupendous exertions to blow 'he
Douglas bugle throughout this land. One
evershaoowitig, portentious, prodigious, in
terminable and illimitable idea flashes by
night and by day along the pole-propped
wires, fills columns of type, and engages
the minds and captivates the hearts of this
great people. What signifies all other ideas
or issues when compared with it ? Our
foreign relations are a bagatelle, the great
commercial interests of the country mere
tape and flummery, our manufacturing con
cerns vulgar and inconsiderate trifles, our
domestic resources a subject unworthy of
notice in comparison with this great politi
cal millenium idea !! Muhommet was a
great prophet, Luther a great reformer, Alex
ander a great General, and Barnum is a great
philosopher, but neither of them in all their
glory or plenitude of power over the mas
ses could hold a candle, no, not even a wax
taper to the discoverer, divulger, and prom
ulgator of this absorbing titulating, liberty
giving, vitalizing, fundamental, superstruc
tural indestructible, inalienable and inde
leasble right as to the time when (viz:
some months sooner or later) a few pion
eers shall vote at their constable, supervi
sors, justice of the peace and legislative
elections, against or in favor ol a Georgia
nigger coming to work where his master
would find no profit in taking him—so that

CHARLES DICKENS' WORKS —The well
known firm of T. B. Peterson & Brothers,
306 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, have just
commenced publishing a remarkably cheap
edition of these unapproachable works of
fiction. It is called "Peterson's Cheap Edition
fur the Million, of the entire writings of Charles
Dickens, Box," and will be issued complete
in Twenty-eight weekly volumes. One
volume will be published regularly on each
and every Saturday, until the whole number
ot volumes—twenty-eight—is completed.
I The low price fixed by the publishers tor
them are only 25 cents a volume, or the
whole twenty-eight volumes lor five dollars.
A complete set will be forwarded free of
postage, by Mail, to any part of the United
Stales, to any one, by the publishers, on re
ceiving a remittance of five dollars lor the
twenty-eight volumes; or a remittance of
three dollars will pay lor the first fourteen
volumes ; or a remittance of one dollar will
pay for the first lourvolumes. The volumes
will be neatly printed, and each volume will
contain 160 large octavo pages, printed on
fine white paper, and neatly bound with
paper cover. The revised uniform Edin
burgh edition, from which this is reprinted,
comprises twenty-eight volumes, the cost of
which is seventy five dollars; and this edition
will contain every word of the Edinburgh
edition. We commend the determination
of this enterprising Philadelphia firm, to
furnish the complete and entire works of
Charles Dickens at a prico so reasonable,
that all persons whatever may possess a full
set, and direct the especial attention of our
readers to the fact, and would advise them
all to make a remittance of Five Dollars at
once, per first mail, to the publishers, for
the entire set, who will Bend them complete
to any one, free of postage, on receipt of that
sum.
DEFYING TIIE LAWS I —The Black Repub

from his pursuers, 1 will employ the bayonet,
so help me, Gcd."

A Difficulty with England.
A difficulty has arisen on the Pacific Coast
respecting the seizure, by the U. S. Troops,
ef the islands in tljo Straits of Fuca. which
islands are in dispute between the U. S.,
and Great Britain. The Island of San Juan
has been occupied by Gen.HsRNKV, and Gov.
DOUGLAS, the British Commander, has sent a 1
considerable forcji to movement '
The islands in question are of great import-1
ance to us, they have excellent har
bors, in Which am Northern Pacific Coast is
very deficient. The principal islands aro
San Juan and Lopez. The former is fifteen
miles long and seven broad, and has two
excellent harbors. The latter is opposite
and not far distant, and has one perfectly
safe and land locked harbor. VVe extract
the following information on tho subject from
the corrtspondence of the Journal of Com
merr.c:—
There can be no doobt of the validity oT
our title In the islands in the Straits of Fuca.
As Mr. Polk said in his inaugural concern
iug the Oregon dispute, " our title to the
whole of Oregon is unquestionable." But,
still, it was questioned, and we yielded—
perhaps yielded 100 much. In the present
case, alsoj our title is questioned. The
Boundary Commissioners could not agree
upon it, and the two governments to which
they respectively referred did not agree.
Therefore, it seems that our government
has solved the question by a forcible seizure
and occupation of the principal island, San
Juan. The movement jy.ill provoke Lord
Palmcrston, Sorbose mettle we have had
some proof in former matters. At one crisis
in our disputes with England, we should
have had a war, had not Lord Palmerston
retired from the Ministry. This was declar
ed by Mr. Rives, of Va., in the U. S. Senate,
as a positive fact.
Mr Buchanan, as Secretary of Stale, nev
er gave up Oregon, or any part of it. He
did not abandon the claim to 54" 40', though
he was overruled by the President and Sen
ate. Inasmuch as that arrangement con
ceded to the British government Vancou
ver's Island and its harbors, Mr. Buchanan
is now the more anxious to save the three
excellent harbors furnished by the islands
in the Straits of Fuca. He has probably de
termined to assert our title first, and then,
while in possession, await the result of ne
gotiation. We never had a treaty with Eng
land in regard to the construction of form of
an alliance, offensive and defensive, but in
Rubstance creating a protectorate whenever
the United Slates shall signify its willingness
to enter into such engagements.
This treaty New York Journal of Com
mcicc thinks, is deficient in not including
•' An Extradition treaty ; a Postal treaty ;
a Commercial treaty or fixed Tariff", which
shall be uniform upon all occasions, and
put a stop to the sale of permits at special
rates, UB at present ; a provision for putting
a stop to the fraudulent exportation ol silver
on the Pacific coast, by smuggling on board
vessels of war of other nations, while Ame
ricans are compelled to pay from 3 to 5 per
cent, duty ; a stipulation for greater security
to properly of American citizens in Mexico ;
and, lastly, the transfer of portions of the
Mexicau territory to the United Stales."
Unnecessary Torture.
FACTS FOR TUB INCREDULOUS.
The agony suffered by the limping pil- j
grim who neglected to boil the peas he car- !
ried in his shoes as a penance, was nothing j
to the horrible twinges, the racking tortures I
which rheumatic patients suffer. We pity
the obstinacy, or ttie ignorance, or the pre
judice, whiohMW il may be, which-has thus
tar prevented them trom resorting to those
great specifics for rheumatism, HOLI.OWAV'S I
OINTMENT AND PILLS. It is curious, in a I
country where almost every one can and ]
does read the newspapers, that facts of the
utmost importance to the health of thou- j
sands should be overlooked or disregarded ,
by any of the suffering class whom they
immediately concern Yet, so it is. Al-j
most daily we see persons moving painful
ly through the streets, with contracted limbs
and joints rendered rigid by disease, to
whom the penetrating and laxative unguent
invented by Professor Hollo way would be
worth its weight in diamond dui-t. In the
Russian hospitals, it has superseded every !
other external remedy for rheumatism, j
Nothing else, say the French surgeons em- j
ployed in those institutions, seems to have
the slightest effect on the terrible forms of
the malady which exist in that inhospitable
climate. The results of its use in this coun
try are, we are assured, no less satisfactory. 1
Warm fomentations should, in all cases, :
precede its application, as by this means
the pores of h-ikin are opened, and the
process of absorption greatly facilitated,
f'he rapidity with which the Ointment dis
appears under the hand while being rubbed
in, is astonishing. The inflamed flesh, or
indurated muscles seem to drink in the cool
ing, soothing, relaxing unguent, as swiftly
as the desert stands imbibe the genial rain.
As an auxiliary to the Ointment in rheuma
tic cases, the Pills are said to be invaluable,
end we can readily beiieve it. All external
disorders more or less iuterlere with the j
functions of the internal organs, and the ]
presence of disease on the surface always
involves a bad condition of the secretions
and the blood. It is by the correction of
these functional derangements, we pre
sume, that the Pills assist llio cure. Such
is the theory of the distinguished inventor
of the remedies, and us it is consistent with
| common sense, (which is more than can be
said ot all medical theories,) we have nolh
-1 ing to object to it.
One thing is certain with regard to rheu
matism in this climate : In nine cases out
of ten, it defies the " regular " treatment.
Colchicum, the tffireutyped prescription, is
more banelul to the constitution than mer
cury itself: and though it may, by its para
lyzing influence, so far benumb the parts
affected as to alleviate the pain, we have
never known an instance in which it has
thoroughly eradicated disease. On the oth
er hand, it is claimed that Holloway's re
medies expel it utterly ; and this claim is
fortified by volumes of direct and uncontra
dicted testimony.—" Periodical Critic."
HON. CHARLES R. BUCKALEW. —The many
friends of this distinguished Democrat, will
be glad to learn that his health is perfectly
restored. He writes that he has not been
sick a day since he sailed from New York,
and that he has gained over twenty pounds
in weight since his departure. Mr. Bucka
lew is tj. S. Minister to Equador one of the
republics of South America. The capital,
Quito, where he resides, is situated nearly
under the lO,OOO feet above

The climate is mild, ranging from 45 to 65
degrees above freezing point, varying but
little, and is aptly compared to perpetual
spring, vegetation continuing constantly.
Such diseases as fever, ague, bilious attacks
in any form, or consumption, have never
been known there. In fact, few die except
from old age, starvation or accident. There
is every prospect that Mr. Buckalew will

Another Schoolmistress Swindled. i
A well-dressed young woman came be- I
fore Aid. Brady, at ihe City Hall I'ulice \
Court, yesterday, and stated tiiat she had
been most shamefully swindled by a per
son who had escaped, and whom she did
not now know a here to find. She slated
that she was a schoolmistress, and had fill
ed responsible positions in several seminar
ies—her last engagement having just been
concluded in this city—and that she still
owned a residence on the north side qf the
city. One day laßt week she saw an adver
tisement in a daily paper, ottering a good
salary for a governess to go South, and ap
plied lor the situation. She found the ad
vertiser at the Clinton I'lace Hotel, a finely
dressed young man, with a genteel air, who
told her that he was a widower, and had
two young children on his plantation South,
whom he desired to have well taken care of
and instiucted, giving his own name as
Bruce. His manner was that of a rather
fast Southerner, and she having confidence
that his representations were correct, agreed
immedially, at a certain salary, to accom
pany him by railroad, on Tuesday morning
of this week. In accordance with his re
quest, she came to the Clinton-place Hotel
on Monday afternoon, with her baggage, in
order to leave early the following morning.
Bruce had engaged a room for their joint
occupation, and registered their names as
hdSband and wile, to which, singularly
enough, she did not object. Her baggage
was sent to Jersey City the same evening
by a carman. On some pretence he suc
ceeded also in borrowing her gold watch, to
go out in the evening. He returned at 4
o'clock the next morning, in a state of in
| toxication, but retired with her, and upon
i getting up, being in a great hurry to take
1 the train, and suddenly discovering that he
I had not enough money to pay his board
| bill, he asked her whether she could not
j let him have a little lor a short time, until
ihe could collect 8400, which he could get
!on his way to Jersey City. She had no
j more than $lO with her, but gave it to him,
and subsequently borrowed 84 from a friend,
jof which she gave him 83. Pretending to
I step out of doors for a moment, tho genteel
j widower absconded. Captain Leonard in
; terested himself in her case, and is doing
j everything in his power to discover the
j whereabout of the scoundrel.— N. Y. Tri

FINANCE AND TRADE —For the information
of our many readers we would stale that our
railroad shares, there is a good degree of
firmness, but the transactions are not large.
The advices from the West generally are
favorable for railroad traffic in this month.
The receipts of grain and flour at Chicago
are large, and consequently the traffic of the
roads leading in that city show a increase
The Illinois Central delivered, on Mon
day, 173 cars of produce and merchandise,
which is the largest tor many months. The
indications now are that all the better class
of stocks will gradually advance in price
until they have reached a fair standard and
then remain permanently, or at least for a
long time, at such prices. The movements
of the immense crops of the West will con
tinue to affect stocks for months to come ;
not so much, however, by the increase of
business on the Western roads as it will in
expanding the business ot the country and
thus work a general cure in the Stock mar
ket. If the farmers of the West can be
made to understand that where there is gen
eral increase in the productions of this year
there must be a corresponding reduction in
prices, they would not delay the sale of
their crops but commence sending them to
market. But if they are determined to ad
here to the old prices, although there is in
the country a larger supply than was ever
before known, we must expect the railroads
to suffer in a like proportion. If these crops
are put upon the market at once every
branch of trade will receive a new impulse,
becoming active and healthy.
To the Voters or Columbia County.
It is customary for candidates to go before
the people at every election with a new
platform of promises, usually are of so frail
a nature that they only serve for the candi
dates to stand upon before election—they al
ways get upselduring the bustle of election,
and the successful candidate stands wher
ever he chooses afterwards. My political
sentiments are too well known to make
many professions necessary, and tho only
promise that I have to make in relation to
them is that, which they have been
in the post they will be in the future
To you who have approved them 1 need
say no more ; and I will not be guilty of
flattery,to those who have differed iroin me
as to pretend that I shall in any degree de
viate from that line of political conduct
which first recommended me to your notice.
Upon these grounds I again presume to re
quest your support; and if I should be elect
ed Distrist Attorney, you may depend upon
finding me a steady and firm friend to the
rights of society and an honest and earnest
supporter and upholder of laws for the pun
ishment of crimes and misdemeanors.

the Liver and Stomach.—Edmund Alga, of
Cooperstown, New York, was for the period
of nineteen years a complete misery to
himself, and a burden to his friends, he
suffered so severely and continuously from
liver complaint, and a disordered stomach,
that he was constantly for weeks together
confined to his bed, the doctors did liirn no
good, and he therefore left ofr consulting
them. Nine weeks ago he commenced
using Holloway's Pills, and his wife called
last week at the store of Professor Holloway
to acknowledge most gratefully that her
husband is quite cured Professor Holloway
hopes that the thousand others in the Union
who have benefitted will now come for
ward.

Colonel Crockett was a character. His
autobiography bas been long out of print;
his leputation for eccentricity haH been pre
' sumed upon in [lhe pnubhcalion of all sorts
ol outrageous and obsceuce nonsense, in
coarse almanacs, and other vehicles for low
humor. This volume is a republication ol
the genuine work, with necessary additions;
and will be new to the present generation
|of renders. It is os marked and character
istic as the subject was; his portrait faithful
ly drawn, and none the less so that it is
without effort, nnd perfectly native and sin
cere, We well remember the amiable cri
| ginal in his norheru lour, and recall many
ot the incidents lo which his book alludes
We never have looked upon his like since;
and rejoice in this republication as an act of
justice; lo retrieve an honost man from vul
gar misrepresentation.
A oopy of the Book, and a handsome
present will be sent by mail, post-paid,
upon recipl of $lOO for the book, and 21
cents for postage.

{From the Gazette)
This hook deserves to be singled out and
noted as above the many novels which are
published. Both in structure and style it is
enti'.led lo the name of art. It is a Tale of
Domestic Life, rehearsing Ihe interwoven
histories of a round of every day characters,
and its aim is to show the follies of the too
many, so called, passions and pleasures of
fashionable life, touching lit no part upon
ground that prhperly belengstolhe vast do
main of romance, .
The Bachelor Millionaire Uncle George,
is a character reminding us of the Brothers
Cherryble, and although he teaches the
" sweet urea of Adversity " with seven dis
cipline, it brings out the true beauty of
character, and shows how few there are
who can go through the trials of every day
life, and in the enii prove their constancy.
Copies of either of the abovd bonks with
a handsome Gift worth from 50 cents to $lOO,
will be sent to any person in the United
