A H«fitflre*l Fumily Kible.
Tbe National Publishing Company ;
of Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis I
and Atlanta are doing a good work in !
this community by circulating among
our people one of the most superb odi- j
tions we have ever seen. The binding
is elegant, tasteful and substantial, j
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 have
added to it an abridgement of Dr. il
liam Smith's great Dictionary of the
Bible. This is a complete book in
itself, and would make an octavo
volume of over six hundred pages.
Its reputation as the best Bible Dic
tionary world-wide, and each sub
scriber to this Bible thus obtains it
f ree • . TT-
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 fcaviour
and the Lives 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 The
Wanderings of the Israelites in the
Wilderness arc 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 Naiions 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
eiren 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 troth' 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, Gustave Dore. These
engravings are genuine works of art,
and were made at a cost of over
000. The great nnmber 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 habdsome Family Record,
consisting of four quarto pages, finely
lithographed. At tho 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
solid 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.
Wo cordially commend this Bible to
our readers, and hope it may find a
place in every family. It is one of
tho best Family Bibles ever published,
and no home should be without it.
The spce 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.
OruCa Tour Around (be
World.
Mr. Wilbelm is also agent for the
National Publishing Co.'s edition of
General Grant's Tour Around the
World, written J>y 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
Notice.
Mr. 11. B. Wei6z, of Butler, hereby
gives notice that he has been ap
pointed by the National Publishing
Co., to be their agent for their Bible,
and edition of "Grant's Tour Around
the World," for Butler, Penn, Conno
quenessing, Lancaster, Muddycrcek,
Franklin, Centre, Oakland, Clay,

THE progress of Queen Victoria
from Buckingham Palace to West
minster, yesterday, was a pageant of
great splendor. There were ladies in
the richest attire, Bparkling_in dia
monds and jewels, and lords resplen
ent with all the paraphernalia of roy
alty. There were other and quite dif
ferent scenes witnessed at the same
hour in her Majesty's dominions.
Three hundred thousands of her sub
jects in unhappy Ireland were suffer
ing from hunger and cold, and many
of them slowly dying from starvation.
The cries for bread in Ireland were
drowned amid the cheers which rent
the air in London yesterday. The
Queen, however, in her opening
speech, did make a brief allusion to
the distress, and intimated that if her
ministers had already exceeded their
powers in alleviating it they should be
indemnified Pittsburgh Gazette, Feb
ruary ($.
ALMOST everybody accused Con
gressman Bingham, of Philadelphia,
having sawed Blaine's boat at Harris
burg. And yet Congressman Bing
ham assumed to be Blaine's particular
friend and mouthpiece.
A MAN can make more money at
tending to bis own business for one
day, thtn be can by attending to bis
neighbor's business for a whore year.
