We have already noticed this work but a
book which bears reading twice, will bear
being noticed more than once. The novel
feature in the book : is tho new light in which
the invasion of Cortez and the Spanish rule
in Mexico is shown up, The writer looked
at things with his own eyes while in Mexico
and found nothing to corroboratc and much
toinyalidate theaccountsoG the SloryarIm mag
n%ifccncc of the Conquest. The style is viva
cious. and the variations of adventure anu
trarcl exceedingly interesting, The public
approval of the work is shown by tcstimo-
mails from such men as Mr.. Prescott, the
historian, who says
"Inan unpretending form it contains a
good deal of matter quite original. That
portion of the work relating to the cSaGgcra-
tions Of the early conqucrors, is particularly
deserving of attention by the students Of our
early North American annals
And from Mr. j. 7. llcadley, who writes to
| the author, II regard it as one of the most
valuable publications on that country that
has been issued by the American Press, 1t
would be a valuable addition to our Common
School libraries" The volume is neatly il,

The Southern Americans now admit the cherries

CorNsFL.-But few Of the reading public
are aware now continually an editor is called
upon to advise his patrons on every subject.
from politics to the breed of cattle. Through
the whole range of our duties none has per-
picked US more than to tell our readers what
to take when they are sick. Hitherto this
has been q severe trial to all our skill, but it
will not be hereafter. We have been taking
and seen the evidence from others that have
taken DR.. Ayers Cherry pcctoral and Cathar-
tic Pills. They need but Il slight trial to
convince the most skertical how far they arc
superior to the other medicines we have had
in use. They have one single property of
great importance to the sick, and that isthcy
cure.-Boston Hcrdid.

Of an unknown man was discovered the "a in
Mr.. Spears wood in that town-a few rods
from the railroad track. 1t lay face down
wards and had evidently been so for two or

to the ice of the bay on his way to the horbor,
and while SO doing was taken with IA rush Of
blood to the head, and fell and died without
moving. lie was apparently from 80 to 40
years old, middle sized, and was dressed in
grey clothes throughout with II bla k soft
