engraved view of the Suspension Bridge, Fvibsrg,
Switzerland, and has original Literary papers from
nine contributors, some of them favorably known.
This work is we'll got up, and we believe the now
numerous and influential Society of Odd.Feows
must regard it with pride and affection, while they
derive pleasure and instruction from its perusal.
10 The WAsHISGTosIAS REFoRMER end Uni
versal Peace Maker, a new weekly paper, edited
by WILLIAM WALLACE of Kentucky, was first
issued on Saturday last. It is edited with ability,
neatly printed, and devoted strictly to the Tempe
rance Cause. The first number opens with most
impressive Temperance tale. We trust this little
paper (Which sells for the lowest price of a glass
of gros) will live to persuade many man never to
drink another glass. Although eschewing Alco-
hol, i, is full of spirit.
% BEAUTIFUL GERMAN BooKs.--Messrs
Eichrhal & Bernhard, No. 3 Spruce street, have
recently imported from Germany some Of the most
elegantly printed and illustrated works which we
have ever seen. The editions of Goethe, Schiller,
Leasing, Weland, kloPsrock, SC. sc. are all
in the best style, and prices full forty per cent
lower than they wer. ever offered for in this
Try before. These gentleman also publish at the
same place semi-weekly German literary paper,
called the Deutsche SchncUpost.
GERMAN REFORMED CHURcH.-Aspecial meet
ing of the General Synod of the German Reformed
Church was recently held at Lebanon, Pa. at
which the Rev. F. W. Krummscher, D. D. of FL
berfed, Prussia, was unanimously chosen profess
sor Of the Mercersburg College, and the Rev. B.
S. Schenck and T. L. HoTedi,z, d. D. appointed
committee to proceed to Germany with the invi-
tation to DR.. Krummacher. A plan was reported
for the endowment Of the German Professorship.
This plan contempases the raising of $4,000
DuEL1NG.-A law has been introduced into the
Legislature of Louisiana upon the subject of dueling
1t provides for the repeal of all existing laws on
the subject, and for the appointment Of " Board
of Honor" of FIVE, to whom shall be referred all
matters of personal difficulty and who shall, if un-
successful in procuring reconciliation, prescribe
the terms and supcrintend the combat. II any
choose to fight on their own hook, without con-
sulting the Board, they to suffer infamous con-
snement for life. We believe this plan has been
tried once before, not however by legal enactment.
90 The Rochester Democrat says that the most
severe snow storm known for several years occur
red in that section~on the 5th, and blocked up all
the roads in the vicinity. The cars which left
Buffalo in the morning got no farther than Attica,
and there stuck, tho passengers and mails being
forwarded by seighs. But even thus they got but
about three miles beyond Batavia whence they were
forced to return. Great numbers of men were
employed in clearing the tracks, but for day or
two the trains must be greatly impeded.
CURE FOR HYDRoPHostA.-At Udina, in Fri

sui at Udina, and tried the same remedy upon

pound of vinegar in the morning, another at noon,
and third at sunset, and the man was speedily
and perfectly cured.
