~ The American Dictionary of
Noah Webster, is now considered by
universal consent, as standing at the
head of English Lexicography. The
depth and accumen Of its chronological
researches the richness ofits vocabulary,
and the accuracy and completeness of its
definitions have given it this high pre-
eminence. It's reputation is equally
great in England and America. A dis
tinguished European scholar has pro-
nounced it, one of the neccssaries of life
to literary man. We are glad to see
this invaluable Dictionary abridged and
prepared in convenient forms for hand
book, adapted to meet the wants of all
classes of scholars in our public schools.
These abridgements are the School Die
tionary, the High School and the
Academic, and are admirably adapted
for the purpose for which they are pre-
pared as pronounciug and defining die
tionaries. A copy Of Webster's die
tionary should be in some form, in the
hands of, or Of easy access to every
scholar and every other person who
would know the proper force and mean
ing of words in the English language.
Under date of May 5, 1854, Profess
for Stow, of Andover, says
am decidedly in favor of Webster,
for the following reason, to wit:
/. Webster is the most uniformly
analogical and self-consistent.
2 His system falls in most complete
ly with the tendencies of the language ;
and if in anything he goes beyond the
present usage, it is in the right direc-
tion, and the usage will soon overtake
him.
3. He has present possession of the
ground more than any other one. In
the United States he is the authority
everywhere except in Boston and even
there more than any other one. In
England he has more authority than any
one, and is continually gaining.
4. He is the great American Philolo-
gist, the most learned and devoted
scholar in his special department, that
the English language knows; and for
this reason, other things being equal, he
deserves the preference.
If we would have uniformity, we must
adopt Webster.

Hollowoys Ointment and Pills, for the
Cure of Scrofuia, Cancerous Pounds,
and Old Sores.-Asa Avory, youth, the
son, of Mr.. James Avory, of Ramsey, Cambridg-
shire, was severely afflicted with scrofulous
wounds for three or four years, and during
that period many remedies were tried, but
without the least benefit whatever being derived
from them. In this deplorable state, Mr. Joseph
Sergeant, chemist of Ramsey, recommended
him to use Hclloway's Ointment and Pills; and
these invaluable medicines have been the means
of effectualy curing the boy of his shocking COM
plant in very brief space of time. They are
an efficacious remedy for bad legs, old sores,
gout, and rheumatism.

p1r The Norpieh co., Courier re-
lates strange and almost incredible
tale of superstition recently enacted at
Jewett City, in that vicinity. About
eight years ago, Horace Ray, OF Girls
void, died of consumption. Since that
time two of his children, grown up peo-
pie, have died of the same disease, the
last one dying some two years since.
Not long ago the same fatal disease
seized upon another son, whereupon it
was determined to exhume tho bodies of
the two brothers already dead, and burn
them, because the dead 1ere supposed to
feed upon the Hring; and so long as the
dead body in the grave remained in a
state of decomposition, either wholly or
in part, the surviving members of the
family must continue to furnish the sus-
tenance on which the dead body feeds.
This is an old superstition which origin
atcd in England many years ago, and is
believed by many persons of respectable
rank even in this day. OF course, it is
simply the offspring of extreme ignorance
and only goes to show how easily per-
sons who understand themselves in the
ordinary occasions Of life may be driven
into the belief and practice of folly and
superstition when death comes knocking
at the door,

sa- Solomon said |" "Spare the rod
and spoil the child" Now, Solomon is
reputed to have been very wise man,
and we are not about to attempt to prove
that he was not. But we believe that,
though it may be very proper to punish
children at times, it is also very bene-
fetal, in training the youthful mind, to
frequently offer rewards as incentives
to obedience and good behavior. If
disobedient children are punished, why
should not obedient ones sometimes be
rewarded' Well, then, our friend, o.
Stillman, at the west end of the bridge
has on hand an extensive assortment of
toys, in great variety, just the thing to
please the little folks and to offer them
as inducements to good conduct.
