With Biographical Sketches Of Eminent Di-
vines, by Samuel NJ. Smucker, L. l.. D. Pub
lshed by Duane Rulison, Quaker City publishing
House, 80, South Third Street, Philadelphia.
The subject Of Religion and the Doctrines of
sects must always have an absorbing interest
for the thoughtful observer, and a work which
affords the desired information, in a convenient
and accessible form, at a moderate price, has
been urgently demanded, and will be sought
for with avidity, and must command large
sale.
In the present work, the origin, development,
doctrinal belief, Church Government and Pc
culiarities Of over eighty different religious
sects, are treated in style clear, compendious
and accurate, and viii afford all the information
which might be procured with great difficulty
and expense, and much labor and research from
the larger polemical works and encyclopedias.
Dr. Smucker has evidently prepared this work
with much care, and it exhibits great ability
and learning. The articles on the different re-
lieions are very impartially written, and show
the careful study Of an unpreiudiced and sound
mind and the importance and value cannot be
too highly estimated of such superior and un-
BIASED effort in a work Of this kind, as too Of
ten, those pretending to give correct informa-
ton uoon such subjects are prejudiced in favor
of some particular sects or denominations. Mr..
Rulison has brought out this great work in a
very handsome form, and the public is indebted
to him for a very valuable, instrctivs and use
book. The price. 81 90, is remarkably low for
such work, and in order that 1t may have a
rapid and extensive circulation, he will send it
to any address, accompanied with valuable
Gift, on the RECEIPT of the price and twenty -fve
cents TO pay postage
Mr.. Rulison will send free, on application his
new enlarged and revised Catalogue of Books
and Gifts, containing all information relative
to the establishment of Agencies in the Gin
Book business. Address

good roads through Missouri, by way of Savan-

point on the river. There are good landings
on both sides of the river; and on the Kansas
side, all streams and sloughs, to the Nemaha,
have free bridges, recently made for the Gov
eminent trains from this place to Salt Lake
and Utah. We can say to the California emf
grafton, that they can strike the old California
Road within ~ miles Of this place, and they
will find good grazing for stock within half
mile of the river, and plenty of wood and water
on the route to the Big Blue, only so miles from
here; and they will find this road over 40 miles
shorter than the road from st. Joseph, and over
so miles shorter than that from Leavenworth.
We refer persons to the map, in proof of this
statement; and we only ask emigrants and ira
vellers to try this route, and we pledge our
selves to pass them over the river free, on their
return, If they are not satisfied Of the foregoing
facts.
