PETER PILGRIM.—Mr. Bentley has just par
fished a new work of fiction, called " Peter Pilgrim," 'li
Dr. Bird, author of " Nick of the Woods." Its prinei,
ll*
fea' ores are, an olaborate account of the Mammoth Cave
in Kentucky, a curious anecdotical article on the fascina"
tion of reptiles, a story of the descent of the Ohio, and one
of a still more terrible descent of the Niagara. Thet
with some sketches of American manners, make up a whale
which, notwithstanding the unconnected nature of the finer
dents, takes greater hold upon the mind of the reader, aas
a whole, than almost any romance we can call to min'
The reason is, that there is an identity of character through..
out the book. The fascinating serpents, the secrets of the
cave world, the perils of the Ohio, and the frantic despair,
of the dreamer of Niagara, have all a moral concatenation'
and we no sooner call up one species of terror than the rest
follow one by one, like the spectre kings in Macbeth.
have not read the previous work by Dr. Bird, s. Nick °
the Woods," but we can say from the present, that be
possesses, in a very remarkable degree, the power of irate"
resting, nay, of enchaining the imrgination of his readers.
