Palace. BySAMUEL WARREN, author of Diary
Of Physician. New York HARpER & BRo-
THEIRS.
This is pretty little volume, from the pen OF a
very distinguished writer. We have looked
through its pages, aud must confess frankly that
we do not comprehend them. Any one who wishes
TO exercise his ingenuity in solving riddle, may
find the book at TAYLOR & MAuRY's.
ArUine's CycIOpGdiG of anecdotes Of Literature and
Me Fine Arts Boston, GOULD s. LINCOLN.
One Of the most popular series of volumes of five
and twenty years ago was that known as the
Percy anecdotes. Books Of this class are useful
because they may be made to serve for odd min
utes of time which can be appropriated to no more
continuous reading. The volume before us is Tin
the main) very well got up, notwithstanding here
and there we find in il column Of trash which is
in i'll keeping with its company.
II may be found at TAYLOR & MAuRY's
Sketches Of Boston, Past and Present, and Of some
JPso places in its Vieiniiy. With 100 engravings.
Boston: PHILLIPS, SAMPSON Il Co. Washing

This is very neat volume, and will be very
acceptable to the thousands in all parts OF the
country, whose "hcart untravelled iondly turns"
to the venerable metropolis of New England Itcom-
spccts seems to be complete it could well be
made in reasonable compass.
The Mysteries of Free Masonry: Containing all the
Degrees of the Order conferred in Masters
Lodge, as written by Captain WILLIAM MoR-
GAN. Revised and corrected by GEORGE L.
CRAFTS. New York: WILSON 4 Co.
The curious in matter of mystery may herein re-
gale themselves with revelations that are supposed
to have cost their author his life. They have pro-
badly lost something of their interest for our day.
but they will still, no doubt, find readers who have
more leisure than we have for such entertainment

The Baltimore Sun publishes the following telc-
graphic synopsis of the message of the Governor of
Vermont:
MONTPELIER, VT Oct. l2-Governor Williams
transmitted his annual message to the Legislature
yesterday. He makes appropriate illusions to the
various matters of local interest, and trusts the
Legislature will bear in mind that they are re-

the peoplo-ese the oath of office they have taken
