r EONARD SCOTT & Co., No. spCold street
j JMsw York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood'
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
ly commenced the publication of valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
GARNER s GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcucAL
AGRICULTURE"
By HENRY STEPHENS, f. r. s., Of Edinburgh, au-
thor of the "Book Of the Farm, &C., &C.. assisted
Ivy JOHN P. NoRToN, M A, New Haven, Professor
Of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &C., &c
This highly valuable work will. comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with 10 or 90 splendid steel engravings,
and more than 600 engravings on wood, in the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods Of ploughing. planting,
having, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render of ncalculable value to the student
of agriculture.
The work is being published. in semi-monthly
numbers of GA pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engrayings and is sold at 25 cents each, or IS for
Lhe entire work in numbers, ofwhch there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol-
lows, viz
HE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW kSoHseTVdliSeIJ
The EDMBuRGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRIrIsH REVIEW Free Church),
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW Iiberal
BLAcKwoop's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion Of their contents is devoted to political sub
iects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con-
fessedv far above all other journals oftheir class.
Blackwood, still under the mastery guidance Of
Christopher NORTH maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Buwer and other literary notabes,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxions" and my
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) 'sMy Peninsular
Medal, ""The Green Hand" ard other serials,
of which numerous rival editions issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have TO be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages o.
Blackwood after Il has been issued by Messrs. Scot
& Co., SO that subscribers to the reprint OF that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.

To The Senate and House Of Representatives. qfths
United States IN Congress assembled: The memo
rial Of the undersigned respectfully represents that
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
Of 18th of September, 1885, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
Land thus granted; that IL patented to them, the
EXPENSE OF agencies and taxes will be an ANNUAL
charge. reducing the value Of the grant, which
thew could avoid il permitted TO SCI the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
bv preventing the sale Of the warrants, assume e,
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most INTEL
peit and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV lie so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

To PREvENr PIrTiNo ny THE SMALL
Pox.-Mr. Scion Robinson, m n ccm-
munication in the "Plough, Loom and
Anvil" recommends the following to
prevent piting 10y the small pox:
Get from the apothecary little vial
OF stuh called liquid cuucle,' and as
soon as the pustulcs are fully formed
apply little OF the liquid with little
brush or Father to each one. As fast
as they get ripe, remove the scab and
wipe away the matter clean, and apply
the liquid again. II any of them fill a
second time, you must remove the COW
cring and repeat the process. Ii will
smart like fun for moment, but, my
word Tor it, when you recover you shall
not 6rd a mark upon that pretty face OF
yours to prove you ever had disease. l
am told the article is made of gun cot
ton, dissolved in choroiorm. Ii forms
an artificial skin over wound Just as
good as the real one"

eJ- The witnesses from Providence,
in the famous Liquor cases, arrived in
town Monday evening, and took lodg-
ings at the Marlborough Hotel kept by
Mr.. Taggars This 10 very good
Hotel Of the kind, although not quito
rs fashionable, at this season Of tho
year, as the large Hotels on the hill
but it is better suited to the character Of
these witnesses than any other house in
Newport. In going there, they clearly
mani, stcd knowledge Of themselves,
and exhibited good deal Of shrewdncss
in selecting so suitable a resting place.
We would observe, for the benefit Of
those who are but familiar with lo,a-
tions here, that this Hotel Is an insiitu-
iion which is supported by the State;
and is admirably kept by our friend
Taggar,
We saw the witnesses in Court Tues
day morning, and they look TO be just
such kind Of chaps as we should expect
to find engaged in such dirty business,
-rcajy Tor most any kind Of o job
where they could earn a lew dollars by
the operation. They were not molcsted
in any manner, nnd We are glad Of il
Tor they are, indeed, Pi'iabIe specimens
of humanity. A motion to dismiss the
warrant against them, on technical
grounds, was made and argued tho
Court will give a decision this morning.
The case against Mr.. Copeland will bs
argued this morning, at the State
House. We have no apprehension Of
any disturbance, and trus, tina, all who
attend the court will be orderly and
quiet, and demean ,hemselves ne good
ciuzcns should.
