The Huntingdon Journal says: During
tne Hunting season of last fall our friend,
Thos. C. Fisher, Esq., gathered in the fol
lowing game : 85 pheasanta, 20 woodcock,
35 partridges, 2 mallard ducks. 1 comnon
duck, 2 turkeys, 80 squirrels and 7 rabbits.
In killing this game he had but onb fu'.l
day's hunting, bis business not permitting
nun to spend more than four or live hour
in the woods at a time. Of the thirty-five
pheasants killed, thirty-one of tbem were
brought down while on the wing. While he
is one of the best wing-shots in this neck 'o
woods, he keeps the best guus and dogs
that can be purchased.
Druxa tbe morning service last Sabbath,
in the Presbyterian church, Re. T.J. Slier
rard jrcached an attractive sermon from a
text in 1st Corinthians, 3rd chapter, 6th
verse. It was Paul who uttered the text,
and the introductory to the sermon was so
comprehensive that it gave iu detail the
missionary work of Paul to the citv of
Diana, where A polios was met. The great
power of A polios as a preacher was dwelt
on ; the doctrine that he preached was pro
nounced as almost identical with that
preached by Paul, and by the blessing of
God, through the instrumentality of a cou
ple of Paul's friends who remained in Cor
inth with A polios while Paul journeyed
elsewhere to preach, the difference between
the two great missionaries was harmonized.
But with all the joy that the reconciliation
produced on the mind of Paul, he did not
forget that their labor would prove fruitless
unless the favor of God was extendxd to
them, and. therefore be could not refrain
from exclaiming : I hart planted, Apollos
hat watered, but God gave the increase."
From which text Mr. Sherrard deduced
tbe
Theme,
which may be rendered,
The spread of the Gospel,
which was likened to the planting of seed
by the husbandman, and the watering there
of, and the growth-giving power thereof as
coming from God, was comprehensively an
alyzed, the three chief divisions of which
were as follows :
First The Planting.
Second The Watering.
Third-'The Growth.

EMBELLISHED WITU OVIB 6(X FIXB BISTOBI
CAL KSGBAVINGS A.XD roKTBAlTS.
There has long been a deihaxd for a work
of convenient size and moderate price, writ
ten in popular and entertaining style, and
presenting in a clear, succinct and accurate
form, the history of the various nations
that have played their part in the world's
history ; a work, iu short, whicb shall be
easy of reference and thoroughly reliable.
The publishers appreciating this demand,
now offer to the public tbe Pictorial His
tory of ike World. It is from the pen of
an author distinguished for his historical
writings, and embodies the results of years
of patient and laborious study and research
on the part of Mr. McCabe, who has availed
himself of every authority, from the vast
collections of the Government libraries of
Europe and this country, to tbe libraries of
the Historical Societies of the whole world,
which have been freely opened to him. lie
has carefully investigated the great field of
Historical discovery opened by the Freuch,
German and English writers, acd in this
volume presents tbe latest conclusions ol
the iinifct eminent authorities.
The work ojiens with a carefully-prepared
sketch of Sacred History, from the crea
tion down to the establishment of Chris
tianity, and the final destruction of the
Jewish Nation, by the Romans. The au.
thor sheds the clear light of modern science
upon this narrative, and at the same time
vindicates the truth of the Bible story.
Then follows a valuable history of the
great Babylonish and Assyrian Empires, un
til they were merged into one, and finally
destroyed by the aII-contterlng Medes and
Persians. We are given a deeply-interesting
account of the peculiar civilization of
both Babylon and Assyria.
We are next told the history of Egypt.
Following this is the history of Pbtenicia,
the little couutry that is justly called " the
Mother of Commerce." We are shown the
rise and progress of the Phoenicians, the
glories af Tyre and Sidon, and the sudden
and overwhelming downfall of the nation.
Greece is then taken up, aud the country
is described in such a vivid manner that the
reader cannot fail to understand its geo
graphical features whicb so powerfully af
fected the history and destiny of the Hel
lenic race.
The Great Medo-Persian Empire next
claims our attention, and we are shown Its
wonderful growth, and its final overthrow
br Alexander '.he Great.
Carthage is next introduced, and we are
told the story of its rapid and splendid
growth; the triumphs o." Hannibal, and the
downfall of the Republic.
We now come to the History of Rome.
We are told the early history of the "Eter-
n.UCity;" the distinctive political Consti
tution of Rome is explained the extension
of the Roman purer, until iLovershadowed
the whole world, is relat-d ; we are made
acquainted with the means adopted by the
Republic for civilizing and governing. Tbe
auihorjrires a gloaingaccount of the wars
and conquests oft Julius Ca-sar. The Great
Roman Empirejs next brought before us.
and we are shown its steady and rapid de
cline the history of the division of the
Empire is related ; aud e are told the
career of each portion nntil the final de
struction of the Eastern branch by the
Mohammedans ; and the breaking up of the
Western Empire into the nations of Modern
Europe. The history of the Gothic King
dom of Italy is related, and we are also
given a clear and most valuable history of
the Rise and Fall of tbe Papacy as a Tem
poral Power.
The Rise of the Saracens, their great con
quests iu the East under Moh uuiued and his
successors, and the efforts made by the Eu
ropean powers during the Crusades, to wrest
the Holy Land from them, ate told with
great force and interest, and the work in
cludes a complete history of the Modern
Turkish Empire.
The History of England is related from
the earliest times. The History of Ireland
and of Scotland is also related, making the
accomit of the British Kingdom complete.
German History is given at length, from
the first conquests of the Romans to the
present time.
The History of France, forms a deeply
interesting portion of the work, and covers
the entire period from the conquests of the
Romans to the present day.
The History of Spain and Portugal, is
related with great clearness and deep inter
est, aud the reader is shown how the Span
ish kingdom was formed, how it became the
leading jKjwcr in Europe, and how and why
it sank I its present obscure condition.
The History of Modern Italy, is a very
interesting portion of the work, and traces
the fortunes of the Italian States from the
Middle Ages to their Union under Victor
Emmanuel in the Kingdom of IUly, and
down to the present time.
The Histories of Sweden, Norway and
Denmark, are related separately and iu de
tail ; and the author then givea us the His
tory of Holland."
The History of Russia is given in full,
and relates the growth of the great Empire
of the Czars, from the earliest times to the
present day.
CSThis portion of the work includes a
full and authentic account of the War be
tween Russia and Turkey, and is the only
complete history of that great conflict yet
published.
The Book also embraces full and accu
rate histories of China, Japan and India, and
Is rich in valuable information concerning
the civilization and progress of those conn
tries. Having completed bis account of the na
tions of the old world, the author takes np
tbe history of our own country, and relates
it in full, from the discovery of America by
Columbus, through the Colonial period, the
Revolution, the Sec n 1 War with England,
the Mexican War, the Great Civil War, and
the period of Reconstruction, down to the
present day.
Next follows a full and interesting history
of Canada and tbe British Provinces of
North America, a feature of the work of
especial value lo all American readers.
Mexico and the States of South America
are next taken np and tbe history of each is
related in full; and we are also given an
accurate and interesting history of Aus
tralia that great English-speaking Empire
which is growing np in the Southern Seas.
The book is a complete treasury of his
tory, and there is not a question that can be
asked concerning any historical subject, but
an answer to it can ba found in this great
work. It gives, as bas been shown, in thd
limits of a single volume, a full and com
plete history of everr nation, ancient or
modern, that bss ever flourished upon the
globe ; and constitutes a library of histori
cal information such as has never been of
fered o the public before.
The publishers confidently assert that this

the kind in print, and should be read by
every intelligent person.

executed by the best artUls aud engravers
of Europe and America.
The engravings in this book are genuine
works of art, and were made at a cost of
over $25,000. The great number and

Your tressos are a' awree,
Au' tbe red on your cheeks is very red,
An' a sparkle is iu your e'e."

That the candle-light was dim,
An' please, sir, I only went alang

If I know what I'm about ;
Take care that the dreary win' o' life
Blows niver your cabdle out."
