We have received Vols. 81 and 80 of Ticknor &
Fields's beautiful edition of the Waverley Novels,
containing " Pereril of the Peak" So long as
the English language is read and spoken, so long
wall these splendid romances, which hold the
mirror up to real life and nature, be studied and
admired. No library can be complete without
them, and from no other source in all the realms
of romance can 50 much pleasure and instruction
be derived.

Saturday afternoon Mr. Walter Earle OF New
York, but at present on a visit to his father,
Mr.. John Earle of West Roxbury, was riding
on horseback or Burroughs street, when his
horse took fright and ran 'furiously up the
street to Austin street, where he encountered
horse car going at right angles with Bur.
loughs street. His horse ran against the car
with such violence as to break the leg of Mr..
Earle above the knee. Such was the force
OF the blow against the car that the horse
was killed. The accident it is feared will
disable the gentleman for life. aud it may
yet be necessary 10 amputate the limb, which
WAS terribly fractured between the knee and
hip, the ends of The bones broken protudng
through the acerlted flesh. Before mounting
the horse Mr.. Earle imprudently removed the
curb from the Dit. After Mr.. Earle was
mounted the horse became FESTIVE from the
use of the spur, Mr.. Earle's feet becoming
detached from the stirrups and the spurs
pressed into the sides of the horse, from the
efforts of the rider to retain his seat.

EAToN's COMMERCIAL INsTITUTE.-Our read
ers are already aware Of the removal of Eaton's
Commercial Institute from its former location in
Worcester Bank Block, to the more spacious and
elegant hall in the same binding, recently occu.
pied as the armory of the Worcester Guards. In
his new quarters, Mr.. Eaton will devote himself.
as he has done SO successfully in years past, to
the thorough training of the young men Of this
city and vicinity, in all the branches of good
mercantile education, and will also have sonar
ate apartment for the convenience of ladies who
may wish to avail themselves of his mode of in.
struction. Scholars are admitted as such hours
as may best suit their own convenience, and in
stead OF being arranged and taught in classes,
according to the old routine system Of education,
each comes by himself directly under the separate
supervision Of the principal. The advantage Of
this plan must be obvious to all who appreciate
thorOughness in any department of knowledge,
and full and complete understanding of the
rules and principles Of any branch OF study.
The following complimentary lines, suggested
by the recent removal of the Commercial Institute
to the late headquarters Of "The Guards" have
been handed us for publication, and we very
cbeerfully give them place, in this connection,
as sort Of finale to what we intended should be

industrious, energetic, and worthy neighbor;

follows:
At Montecito, four miles from Santa Bar

would be incredible, were it not that my in
formant is a man of veracity. and he spoke
from personal observation. 1t is a single Vine
the main stock being ten feet in diameter
1t is trained upon a trellis sixty feet in diam
eter. NV informant, with another person,
counted 1000 punches, and the estimate yield
was $4,000 pounds of fruit. Can this be
beaten ? The only thing that surprised me in
the relation of my friend was that any person
in Santa Barbara should have displayed the
energy necessary to build the trellis for this
noble vine.

RCEsTER AL

We copy the following from the st Louis Dem.
ocrdt, one Of the ablsst papers of the West or Of
the country, ard one which is doing great work
for the cause of freedom. 1t shows the estima.
ton in which the speeches of our Representative
are held in other sections of the country;
Eh Thaysrs Spsech.-We print on the first
page remarks of Eli Thayer, entitled "Sucide of
Slavery In calling the attention Of readers to
his speech, we must characterize it as one of the
most forcible. genial, and piquant that has been
delivered in the present Congress. The pungent
rideule, the bright vein of irony the lnlmitable
hum0r, and the massive strength of comprehen-
sion that pervades it, will make it memorable in
the discussions that have taken place touching
the slavery question. There is common sense
in its largest elaboration manifested in the struc-
ture of his discourse, as we'll as in the illustra
ton of his text He deals in common places,
and yet he everywhere speaks to the common APP
preheBsion OF Acknowledged facts. Whilst maxi
ing no claims TO oratoTy, Mr.. Thayer yet stands
forth as one Of the most effective of speskeIsE
and II he does not carry captive the Imagination,
ne yet permits no sophism~ of Southern rhetoric
to pass unstripped of its himsS veil. As far as
he himself is concerned, he has little to say-his
language being chiefly happy piece Of ventrilo-
qusm. in which the limitations are perfect, and
laughter irresistible. He neither attempts to de-
fend The Pilgrims to apologize for the existence
of white men, nor to explain away the right and
the might.o free immigration, but, accepting
them as they are, he treats with the method of
statesman, and the glow of patriot, their pre-.
destined future Just at this time, he stands
forth more the representative man of the practi.
cal Yankee mind, out cropping into SUMMER pro-
yinces, than any other from the New England
States His modes organisms, his ends ac-
QUESTIONS, and in ful6ment Of his accredited
work, he gathers the laurels of war with the ap-
pliances of peace, and inspires the tranquil pro
gressions Of societ, with all the excitement Of
thlsty conquests and ebIllient invasions. We
trust no one will lay down the Democrat today
without giving attentive perusal to the "Sui.
eide OF Slavery" and that those who do peruse it
will also digest and assmilate the strong nutr
ment of vital truth and living prophecy which
supports the racer delicacies of wit wherewith he
Aas garnished his discourse.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPHS.
1t is known to all those who have compared
the, Photographic pictures taken In England
with those taken in our own country that the
latter exhibit decided superiority. The
chemicals used being the same, and the plates
or paper being prepared in the same manner
for both, the cause of the difference has been
atubuted 10 the greater brightness of the
American sun and the drier character of our
atmosphere. But this, it would seem, is not
the true exlanation. At meeting of the
Scottish Photographic Society, one of the
artists stated that, early the morning, he
was enabled to obtain as beautiful and dis
tinct pictures as could be produced in any
country but when the factories and the busy
life of the city sent up thousands of columns
of smoke and heated air, it caused such a
vibration of the atmosphere as affected the
rays of light passing through it, and on this
account blurred and indistinct pictures were
produced.
