A Majcnlflcent F»n»ily Hlble.
Th«» National Publishing Company
of Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis
and Atlanta are doing a good work in
this community by circulating aniimg
our people one of the mo6t superb edi
tions we have ever seen. The binding
is elegant, tasteful and substantial.
The press work is done in the best
style, and the paper is of the finest
quality.
Being determined that their Bibles
shall not be surpassed by any other
edition in print, the publishers baye
added to it an abridgement of Dr. il
lium Smith's great Dictionary of the
Bible. This is a complete book in
it=elf, and would make an octavo
volume of over six hundred pages.
Its reputation as the best Bible Dic
tionary is world-wide, and each sub
scriber to thin Bible thus obtains it
free.
Another prominent feature is a His
tory of All the Religious Denomina
tions of the World. These accounts
are clear and comprehensive, and are
full of valuable information.
The additional matter which ac
companies the books of the Bible cov
ers a wide range of subjects and is ex
ceedingly valuable. An accurate and
detailed description of the Holy Land
is given, followed by an interesting
description of Jerusalem and its sa
cred places. The Life of the Saviour
and the Live 3 of the Apostles are also
given at considerable length, and in
such a manner as to be of great service
to every reader of the Bible. The
Wanderings of the Israelites in the
Wilderness are related, and the Taber
nacle and Temple are described with
great minuteness. Another feature to
which we would call particular atten
tion is a series of Scripture illustra
tions, remarkable for its completeness.
It embraces a series of comprehensive
descriptions of the Manners and Cus
toms of the Nations of the Ancient
World, of Biblical Antiquities, Scen
ery, Natural History, etc., etc. Then
follow a large number of chronological
and other valuable tables designed to
promote and facilitate the study of the
Sacred Scriptures. These tables are
so numerous that we have not space
even to give their names. So full and
complete is the additional matter of
this magnificent edition of the Scrip
• tures, that the most careful student of
God's word, the most exacting seeker
after truth will find all his wants sup
plied in this single volume.
The book is magnificently illus
trated. It contains over 2,000 fine
engravings, many of which are by the
great artist, Gnstavo Dore. These
engravings are genuine works of art,
and were made at a cost of over $30,-
000. The great number and high
character of these engravings make
this the most valuable art publication
of the century.
Between the Apocrypha and the
New Testament is a beautifully litho
graphed marriage certificate, which
makes this Bible an especially appro
priate wedding present. This is fol
lowed by a handsome Family Record,
consisting of four quarto pages, finely
lithographed. At the end of the
volume is a photograph album, with
spaces for sixteen portraits.
These magnificet Family Bibles are
superior to all others that we have
seen, in the following respects:
They contain the largest and finest
engravings. They have the richest
and most durable bindings. They
contain the finest paper and the best
printing. They are the cheapest and
most complete, and they sell faster
than any other Family Bibles.
The National Publishing Company's
Bibles weigh from one to three pounds
more than any other Family Bibles
published in the United States. This
is proof positive that they are more
so id and substantial than any other
Bibles. It proves that they are
printed on heavier paper, and bound
with heavier and more durable ma
terial. They are published in German
also.
We cordially commend this Bible to
our readers, and hope it may find a
place in every family. It is one of
the best Family Bibles ever published,
jMpd no home should be without it.
' The price is astonishingly low, and
within the reach of all. It is sold by
"subscription only, and Mr. David Wil
helm, of Jefferson township, who is
the authorized agent for this section,
is now canvassing for it.
Grant's Tour Around Hie
World.
Mr. Wilbelm is also agent for the
National Publishing Co.'s edition of
General Grant's Tour Around the
World, written by the celebrated
writer, James McCabe. The work con
tains over 300 pages, is handsomely
illustrated and is considered the best
account of the journey that has been
written. Mr. W. will call at your
home or place of business. 6t
Wheat! Wheal!
The highest Pittsburgh market price
paid for Wheat, at Walter Boos'
Mill, Butler, Pa. WALTER & Boos.
JAY GOULD'S buying railroads for
fun, to which diversion he has evi
dently applied himself with a good
deal of success and earnestness, bids
fair to make him complete master, of
the situation in the matter of transcon
tinental travel and transportation. By
the consolidation in his bands of the
Union Pacific and the Kansas Pacific
Railways, the provision in the charter
of the former company compelling it
to pro rate at Omaha with all roads
running eastward from that point is
effectually evaded, as no such restric
tion is imposed at Kansas City, where
Mr. Gould's southwestern system of
roads begins, and he acquires a mon
opoly of the entire Pacific coast traffic
upon his own.terms.
Hide Market.
S. Schamberg, butcher, pays the
best price for Beef Hides, Skins aud
Pelts in Butler.
