THE NEW ORLEANS MINSTRELS.—A fine,
large audience greeted the appearance of the
minstrels at City Hall last night, and the uni
versal expression was, the best in that lino
ever seen in this city. The elog dancing, the
chorus singing, the quartette, the solos, both
vocal and instrumental, were immense, the
comicalties were fresh and good, while E-fiat
solo playing by Mr. Bi njamin was simply
marvelous, he reaching G on the fourth add
ed line above the staff, with a tone like that
of'a piccolo flute, and an execution corres
ponding. Miss Nellie Gorton rendered, as a
baritone solo, " Swanee River," with arMstic
variations, responding to an enthusiastic en
core with " Genevive," also with variations.—
Mr. G. W. Franeknm's claionet solo was a
brilliant rendition.' —Daily Telegraph, Alton
111.
This famous company will appear in Mer
cur Hall Friday evening this week.
THE CYCLOPEDIA WAR.— The Cyclopedia
War and Literary Revolution are working
wonderful and happy results for the readers
of books, and searchers after knowledge.
The great Library of Universal Knowledge, is
announced to be completed, ready for deliv
ery to purchasers, the early part of July. It
is probably the largegt and most important
literary work this country and the century
have seen. It is based upon Chamber's En
cyclopedia, the last London edition of which
is reprinted entire, as a portion of its contents,
a large corps of American editors and writers
adding thereto a vast amount of information
upon about 15,000 subjects, in every depart
ment of human knowledge. Chamber's En
cyclopedia, whose distinguished merit is uni
versally known, is the laborious product of
the ripest British and European scholarship,
but being a work of foreign production it has
been naturally deficient in its adaptation to
the wants of American readers. In this new
form it is most thoroughly Americanized, and
becomes at once the largest and most complete
enclclopedia in the field, at a mere fraction of
the cost of any simTlar works which have pre
ceeded it, containing about 10 per cent, more
matter than Appleton's Encyclopedia, at less
than one-fifth its cost, and 20 per cent, more
than Johnson's Cyclopedia at a little more
than one-fourth its cost.
The superlative value and importance of!
this great Encyclopedia, however, lies especi
ally in the fact that it is brought within the
reach of every one who aspires after knowl
edge and culture. It is really a Library o
Universal Knowledge. It brings a liberal ed
ucation easily within the reach of every plow
hoy. Every farmer and every mechanic owes
it to himself and to his children that such a
Cyclopedia shall henseforward form a part
of the outfit of his home. To the intelligent
man in every walk in life, a Cyclopedia is in
dispensible. It is issued in various styles, in
15 large beautiful octavo volumes, varying in
price from sls for the edition in cloth, to $25
for the edition in library sheep binding. Lib
eral discounts even from these extraordinary
prices are allowed to clubs and the publishers.
Besides they propose during the next two
months to distribute SIO,OOO cash, in special
rewards to persons who forward clubs of five
ten, or more subscribers. The American
Book Exchange, 701 Broadway, New York'
are the publishers, who will send sample pa.
ges and full particulars, free, on request.

Mr. GEO. 11. WOOD:
My Dear Sir —The picture arrived this

without doubt the finest picture of any kindj
in town ; in fact, the finest I ever saw at any !
price.
I cannot compliment you sufficiently for
your talent, ai d assure vou that you will
never regret the labor bestowed on this piece
of work; it will be productive of other simi
lar work from this section and to no small
amount. I have no doubt thut.by putting it
on exhibition in window I could secure you
hundreds of dollars worth of work. I have
compared it with former one of same subject
made by you ai sls 1 think, and this is very
much finer.
My wife who is a daughter of the subject,
is perfectly carried away; you may consider
her under obligations to" you. Again thank
ing you, I remain, Yours, &c.

CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT IS DUE.—A
notice having appeared in the last Argus to
the effect that the plumbing at the poor house

HURST makes a correction in the following

der the direction of Edward Williams, of
Towanda, and those employed by him, and is
entirely satisfactory so far."
J. W. HURST, Commissioner.
If the plumbing at the poor house reflects
credit upon any one, Mr. WILLIAMS, who had

fair in ourcotemporary to cheat him out of it
