A new Star in, the Literary Firmament.
NE LLY BRACKEN,
A Domestic Tale of Forty Years Ago.
READ THE CRITICS' OPINION OF
NELLI.r :
"It is beyond any American book of the pres
ent day.
"The genuineness of its sentiments, its per.
feet purity, and truth of its characters to na.
Lure, give it a high eminence among the books
of the day.
"Our readers have heard of an oasis in a des
ert—well, Nelly Bracken is the oasis of the
dreary desert of American female literature of
the present day.—New York Courier and In
quirer."
"Unless we very much misjudge the value, it
is destined to no mean rank among the original
works of American fiction."
"It is a first effort, and is one full of promise
of yet greater excellence."—Boston
The authoress of Nelly Bracken is with us a
new, but by no means an unwelcome acquain
tance. We have in our library, those more no.
Led, but none that we should allow to crowd
aside Annie Chambers Bradford, it matters little
whether she be "sweet sixteen" or the shady
side of fiveand thirty. The plot, sum and sub
stance of this "tale of forty years ago," we
have not time or space the present week to ex
plain, and had we time even, it is best that
those who have a taste for well wrought narra.
tives should read, understand and judge for
themselves. The book is handsomely printed
and contains 377 pages.—Latcrence Journal.
A fresh and glowing picture of life in Ken
tucky. imbued with a feeling very winning to
the reader .—Winchester Virginian.
We like the preface and the book. The au
thor's name is new to us, but she is evidently a
writer of promise. Tho story is attractive, the
style easy, graphic and graceful. There is
much beauty of sentiment and expression, and
that minglingof humor and pathos, like bright
rainbow hues painted on tears, whichl is a char
acteristic with many of the masters of light lit
erature.—Fredericksburg News.

safe was in use in our office, on the second floor
of our building, from which place it fell into the
cellar, and remained there until the fire was out.
The safe was then removed and opened in the
presence of at least one thousand persons, who
witnessed the goo I condition of the contents.—
Will you please have the Safe and Locks repair

perfect confidence in its fire proof qualities.

ARMITAGE'S
Electro-Magnet Lightning Rods
AFTER many' years' close investigation
and numerous experiments, the Pattentee
sakes pleasure in informing the public that lie
has arrived at the true principles of protecting
families, dwellings and property from the de
structive influence of Lightning. The cal
amities that every City, Town, Village and
Country falls victim to annually, through the
gross negligence of its inhabitants, is beyond
calculation, especially when the remedy is so
easy to obtain--this is found in Armitage's
Patent Magnetic Lightning Rods; and in
this alone. This Rod "has been examined ,by
the most scientific gentlemen in the world—
Professors M'Murtrie, Johnson, Wallor and
many others that have examined them, recom.
mend and speak of them in the highest terms
of approbation, and have pronounced them the
only safe rods'in use in this or any other - coun
try, for the protection of Lives and Property.--
One advantage is to divide and throw back a
part of the electric fluid harmless to the clouds;
in time of a stroke this enables the rod to Con
duct that portion of fluid that belongs to the
earth without the slightest danger of leaving
the conductor. This rod has many other ad
vantages over the old one. Tho only place of
manufacturing is in Vine St., 3 doors aboi
Twelfth, Philadelphia, where all persons me
respectfully invited to call and examine for
themselves. For sale Wholesale and Retail Iv
Satisfactory rscomrnendations can be seen
by calling on the subscriber. All rods wal.
ranted.
SAMUEL HOOVER,'
Hartleton, Union Co.; Pa.,
Is Agent for Huntingdon, and adjoining coun
ties, and will furnish the Rods on the swe
manner as the Proprietor. Any 'person desir
ing to be supplied with the Rods can leave thiir
orders with the Editor of the Globe, or with
