A little daughter ofPatrick Whalen. of
Roxbury, was standing on a wall 'of ice,
which overhung the Shepaug river, when it
gave way, and she was participated into
the strong current. Her mother leaped in
after her, and was herself saved only by th e
incrcst chance. The child was drowned.

Thc Duchess of Edinburg, the czars
daughter, at last has had a chance to threw
her envious Guelph relations into the shad-
ow. At the queen’s drawing-room. held a
fortnight ago, she appeared in public for the
first time since her marriage, and in a per-
fect blaze of diamonds. She wore, it is said,
“a rich blue velvet with garniture of the
finest Russian sable, satin petticoat trimmed
with bands of diamonds and large diamond
tassels, and a train of velvet.”

Every moment of delay makes your cure more
hopeless,and much depends on the judicious choice
of a remedy. The amount of testimony in favor of
Dr. Scheuc’ks Pulmonic Syritp, as a cure for con-
sumption. far exceeds all that can be brou ht to
support the pretensmns of any other me icine.

cates of many persons of the highest respectability.
who have been restored to health, after being ro-
nounced incurable by physicians of acknowle ged
ability. Sciicnk’sl’uiinonic Syrup alone has cured
many, as these cvuleuces will show; but the cure
is often promoted byline employment; of two other
remedies which Dr. Sclicnck provides for the pur-
)OSC. These additional remedies are Scheuck’s Sea
ccd Tome and Mandrake Pills. By the timely use
of these medicines, according to directions, Dr.
Schenck certifies that; most any case of Consump-
tion can be cure. Dr. Sclienck will be at the

AMERICAN. CYCLOPEDIA...
NEW REVISED EDITION.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every
subject. Printed from new type, and illustrat-
ii" with Several Thousand ‘ugravings and
- ' aps.
. The work originally ublished ‘inder the title of
“Tthew American yclopmmal’was com leted
in 1803, since which time the wide circa ation
which it has attaincdjn all parts of the Unilzed
States, and of the signal developments which
have taken place in every branch of science, lite-
rature, and art, have induced the editors and ub-
lishcrs to submit it to an exact and thoroug res
vision, and to issue a new edition entitled Tull:
.AMERXCAN CYCLOPEDIA.
Within the last ten years the progress of discov-
ery in every department of knowledge has made a
new work of reference an imperative want.
The movement of political affairs has kept. pace
with the discoveries of cc, and their fruitful
application to the man 1 and useful arts and
the convenience and re nement of social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc-
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume of
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
and a. new course of commercial and industrial ac-
tivity has been_commen‘ced. '
Largo accessxons to our geographical knowledge
have been made by the mdefatigable explorers of
Africa.
The cat political revolutionsof the lastdec'ide,
with t e natural result of the lapse of time, have
brought into public View a multitude of new men,
whose names are in cvery_one’s mouth, and of
whose lives every) one is canons to know the _ar-
ticulars. Great attics have been. fought an im-
portant sieges maintained, of which the details
are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in
the transient publications of the day. but which
ought now to take their place in pcrmanentau-
thentfc history. _ . .
In preparing the present edition for the press, it
has accordin~1y_becn the aim of the editors to
bring down tile information to the latest possible
dates, and to furnish- an accurate account. of
the most recent discoveries in science, of every
fresh production in literature, and of the newest
inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give
a. succinct and original record of the progress of
political and historical events.
The work has been begun after long and careful
preliminary labor, and. with the most amplon‘c-
sources for carrying it into a. successful termina-
tion.
None of the original stereotype plates have been
uscd,but every page has been printed op new
type, forming iii fact: a new Cyclopicdia, With the
same plan and compass as its predecessor, but.
with far greater pecuniary expenditure, and With
such improvements in its composttion as have
been suggested by longer experience and enlarged
knowle ge. . p _
The illustrations which are introduced for the
first time in the present edition have been added
not for the sake of ictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity. and orce to the explanations in
the text. They embrace all branches of science
and natural history, and depict the mostfamous
and remarkable features of‘sccnery, architecture
and art, as well as the various rocesses of me-
clianics and manufactures. Alt ough Intended
for instruction rather than embellishment, no
pains have been spara to insure their artistic ex-
ccllencc ' the cost of their execution is enormous,
and it is believed that they Will find a welcome re-
caption as an admit-obit; feature of the Cycloptudia,
and Worthy or its high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on
delivery of each volume. It will be completed in
sixteen large octave volumes, each containin
about; 800 ages, fully illustrated with severa
thousand ood Engravingsmntt with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.

every lover of art or scieucc,evcry

a microscope. The purchaser of
