ography has been long out of print; his repu-
tation for eccentricity has been presumed upon
in the publication of all sorts of outrageous and
obscene nonsense, in coarse almanacs and other
vehicles for low humor This volume is repub-
LEGATION of the genuine work, with necessary ad=
ditions and will be new to the present genera
ton of readers. 1t is as marked and character
istic as the subject was his portrait faithfully
drawn, and none the less so that it is without
effort and perfectly naive and sincere We well
remember the amiable original in his northern
tour, and recall many of the incidents to which
his book aludes We never have looked upon
his like since and rejoice in this republication
as an act of justice to retrieve an honest man
from vulgar Misrepresentation.
A copy of the Book, and handsome present
will be sent by mail, postpaid upon receipt Of

Reading for the Million.

t. b. Peterson Brothers have this day is
sued the second volume of their new and cheap
edition of Charles Dickens Works for the Mil
lion, to be completed in % volumes, one to be is
sued on each and every Saturday, for twenty five
cents volume. The cheap literature of former
years did not tend much to elevate their readers.
but the reading that Peterson now gives, at
prices which scarcely cover the cost of printing,
is OF the very best character, and must exercise
wholesome influence over the public taste, by
making all readers acquainted with the works of
the best fiction writer's in the English language.
A reader in the country for one dollar can
have the first four Of these volumes transmitted
to him, or the whole twenty eight volumes will
be sent for five dollors. The second volume, is
sued to-day, contains the conclusion of Oliver
Twist and the commencement of Pickwick Papers.

The Fortunes of NIGEL.

BY Sir Walter Scott. Being the twelfth volume
of T. B. Peterson & Brothers, cheap weekly
issue of Waverley Novels for the Million.
The worldwide reputation of the Waverlev
Novels will insure a ready sale of this cheap edi
ton, and prove, we trust, remunerative to the
enterprising publishers It is commendable TO
do anything that will even in a small degree,
stay the present raging appetite for pernicous
light reading. BY satisfying the cravings of
those who desire fiction with some of the heal
thiest of its order, is preventing evil, and mega
lively, at least doing good There are no
works of the imagination which can so effectually
accomplish this as the novels of Sir Walter
Scott They, to say nothing more are harm
less it is even astonishing that through so
many volumes there should be found so little
that religion or morality would disaprove. For
beauty of STYLE copiousness, vividness of des-
cripton, and interest of subject, Scott stands in
the foremos rank His works will be read al
ways with interest, and not unfrequently with
profit. One volume is issued every Saturday
and each one is got up in neat style, all of the
same size, and printed at the rate of Is cents
volume, or the whole twenty six volumes for
five dollars, and sent free of postage to all. on
receipt of this sum. This low price should place
a sett of them within the reach of everybody in
the land

The Irish Revival.

A correspondent of the Presbyterian Banner,
writing from London, Aug 2, says
The awakening in Ireland still continues to
manifest its power. Physical prostrations are
not common, yet they still occur, accompanied
in some cases with what the Ballymena Obser-
ger calls faculty of limited prescience or pre-
vision which has excited very great astonish-
ment among the people. 1t is noticeable only
in connection with class of persons whose
physical organization has, to serious extent,
been disturbed by the frequently repeated action
of mental excitement. Two sisters thus fell, at
the same time, into a trance, for three hours,
deaf, dumb, and motionles. Both recovered at
the same hour, and Immediately were separated
One taken forthwith to her own house, where
she fell on her knees and was engaged in pray
er for half an hour. To the great surprise of
her relatives, she then affirmed that at four o.
clock the next day she would be in the same
condition again, and also lose the power of one
side, and remain so six hours. I cannot ex-
plain how I know, but my mind tells me it will
be as / have said.
There seems to have been kind of mysteri-
Gus sympathy between the two sisters. The
other girl Jane, however was not told that Ell
len expected thus to be influenced Precisely
at four O'Clock Ellen dropped from her chair in
a state OF absolute insensibility, and was found
to have become immoyable and rigid in every
joint the left side. The other sister fell into
the same state, Except blndness) at the same
moment, and both awoke together to perfect con-
seriousness. One of them, watched by a crowd
of anxious visitors, Immediately exclaimed =
Christ is my Saviour. He is all in ALL And
incredible as it may appear, these identical words
were uttered at the same moment by her sister,
three hundred yards distant, as she awoke to
! consciousness, the same moment
These are not solitary cases at Ballymena.
The parties affected predict the time of their re-
coVery, and yet they are not fanatical, and be-
heVe that the sure word of prophecy is COM
plete, and that the vision is shut up"

From the Burlington Gazette We clip
the following
As another specimen Of the abund-
ancc of w;sdom and peculiar acumen
which controlled the action Of black
republican legislature which held its
session at Fl. Des Moines, in this State,
about one year ago, we would refer to
a peculiar section IN our revenue law
relative to corporations; and would ask
if it was the intention Of that body to
have tax on Railroad stock levied
upon residents which should be collect
able beyond the shadow Of doubt,
while at the same time it made provis-
ions for tn lcvying of the tax only up
on non resident stockholders without
supplying the necessary provisions for
insnring the collection of said tax.
This is a matter of vital importance
to resident taxpayers, and we suggest
that the several county authorities Of
Iowa consider this matter fully before
levying a tax on railroad shares. The
Company, nor any OF the property
thereof, cannot, in our opinion, be
held responsible for the tax on shares
of non-residents and they owning no
private property in the State, are like
ly to 90 "Scott free" Of this tax if lev
led, while resident shareholders can
and ,ciH be forced to pay, if they re-
sist, by seizure Of their private prop
crty.
Here is the section, read it.
SEC I. The property Of corporations or
companies constructing canals, railways,
plank roads, graded roads, turnpike roads
and similar improvements, shall be taxed
through the shares Of the stockholders, and
their interests shall be taxed in the county
in which ia situated their principal business
office within this State and to that end the
assessor shall require the secretary or clerk,
Tor whatever officer of corresponding duties
there may be) to render under oath q lit of
names and residences of such nonresident
stockholders. with the number of shares of
each, and both the par value and the mark
ct value of such stock, but if such secre-
tary or other corresponding officer do not
reside in this State, the assessor may re-
quire the same of any officer residing in the
State and il any such officer refuse, the
shares of the non-residents shall be assessed
to the company or corporation. and may be
asc .rtained in the best manner within the
power Of the assessor.
