Markets. Prrreerrami, Tuesday, December eth. The frequent rains last week have brought our rivers up to a very fine stage. The 7160 is principally in the Alla. gheny, and the beak water I l i the Monongahela shows 1.1 feat in the channel, by the pier mark. The Gazette says that some eighty to one hundred pairs of coal boats are above and below the diet pool, and some two hundred pairs in all are expected to get through and get off. These will require twenty hands to every pair, showing at a glance the number of hands that will get employment in the trade. We heard that aixty dollars per hand had bean offered to New Orleans. A rhos is the Monongahela is con. Menay expected, and we think with good reason. Should ell the coal be got out with this freshet, it will tell upon the interests of the coal men very materially.

Duff, Merchant's College, Pittsburgh : On opening this institution I found that the bus iness men of the city had a decided preference for your system of e book-keeping. I, therefore, adopted it, to the, exclusion of Manuscripts and all other Systems. Many of the ablest and most experienced accountants in Louisville have ex amined Harper's enlarged edition of /your work, and say that they have met with no other work on the subject containing so much practical infor mation, expressed in so clear and forcible a man ner. Our students express the greatest satisfaction with their rapid improvement. I am entirely convinced that an equal degree of , proficiency can never be attained by students who are taught by the Manuscript. System. In fact that system is now recognized as an exploded humbug by most business men throughout the West. The public have lost confidence in it, and the rival College in this city will soon have to adopt Duff's book-keeping, if they desire to keep up with modern improvements. F. U.

Three weeks ago, one of my, friends in sisted upon me trying Beerhave's Holland Bitters, saying that a cure was guaranteed. After taking it for one week, I must say I was a sound man.

FROM TILE MANY NOTICES Of THE PRESS, WE TAKE THE FOLLOWING; CHRISTIAN mrxmioznora, NKR TORE. 3. W. Bradley; No 4S North Fourth Street, Philadelphia,. has Issued a handsomely Illustrated edition of the works of this celebrated writer comprised in two octavo volumes, bound In one. It is needless to, eemment now upon the productions of an author whose , name is synonymous with the best religions classic in oar language; but, beyond an acquaintance with the " Progress," few readers have studied Banyan enough to discover his real greatness as an instructor in the impiirtant, department of expert mental theology. The work now before us will enable all to familiarise their minds with the various and approved productions of Bunyan's pen. 4olliefAL AND WILKINGTON, Mr. Bradley has done the cause of religion and morality good service for the tasteful manner in which he has re produced the works of this good man in one complete, sub stantial, reliable, and yet cheap volume. A striking feature of the work is the correct and profuse manner in which It Is illustrated. These plates greatly assist the reader an hie study of the characters before him, and give bettor concep tion of the intention and meanings of the author. We most cheerfully commend the book to everybody'who de sires to have a complete copy of the entire works of Bunyan In his or her possession. It is well printed, on fine paper, eeperroyal octavo, and may be had of the publisher, hand somely bound in cloth, at $3 per copy. 0101.4311 AN 0135111LVITL. This 115 a Dirge and valuable book for the family library— two rich volommr. In one—printed in superior style, and illustrated with a series of splendid engravings. It is, we understand, the only edition of the somas works of the immortal dreamer ever published/on this side of the At antic. NEW TOEH 01111.01110Lli The present edition is profusely illustrated with en graving!, and must become a standard book, = Mr. d. W. Bradley, the indefatigable publisher of Phila delphia, hes leaned a new edition of BUNYAN% WORKS, in one large and handsome octavo volume. It contains the immortal allegories, " Pilgrim's Progress" and "The Holy Wei," and * his sermons and miscellaneous writings. It is very Dilly illustrated. Ever welcome to us Is this spiritual dreamer, with hie delicate fancies, and his heart so rich in experience of Divine things, hie eye so keen and observant of the !subtleties of temptation, of all the snares of the ad versary, and yet so quick to recognise the manifold mercies of the Lord. If a man were shut up to read but one book beside the . Bible, we know not of a better one than this. Bunyan had not the learning of men, but he had what was far better—a prceound knowledge of the human heart and of the Gospel of. Christ, taught by many sore temptations and by his own experience of pardon and peace. One may learn from him as much of human nature and of Divine truth as from any uninspired writer. OHVSTUR INCIUTART, ' HAWITORD, CONN The publisher has but rendered a tribute of deeerved praise to "the immortal Tinker of Bedford," in publishing his entire works in a single and elegant volume. It con. tains MS imperial octavo pages, Is copiously illustrated with steel and wood engravings, and is beautifully printed and bound. Bunyan's Writings are as familiar to the Chris. lien world as household words, and need net a single word in their praise. The splendid volume before us will make a good library of itself to the young or aged Christian, as it is tiled;with the pure truths of the Gospel, and embraces all the important anblects contained in the Bible.
