waverley Novels for the Million.

That enterprising firm Of publishers, T. B. Pc
terson & Brothers, Philadelphia, has just begun
an undertaking, which cannot fail to be benef-
cial to the whole reading community We allude
to the edition Of Sir Walter Scots Novels, now
in the course of publication by them, and which
is to be completed in twentysix volumes, at
twenty-five cents piece, or five dollars for the
whole These volumes are printed in double
column octave, and each will contain about one
hundred and twenty-five pages The entire set
OF twenty-slx volumes will be mailed, free of post
age, to any person renting five dollars to the
publishers. This is an opportunity never before
had, for obtaining the Waverley Novels entire,
at price within the means of everybody for it
is the cheapest edition ever published, and for
those who remit five dollars, and thus subscribe
for the SERIES secure each volume for less than
twenty cents. The price of the Edinburgh edi-
ton, from which this edition is reprinted. is
seventy two dollars. Very properly have Pc
terson & Brothers called this the Edition for
the Million" for they ought to get a million of
subscribers to it, in this reading nation, and
doubtless will THE ABBOTT, forming the sixth
volume of their series of the Waverley Novels, is
published this day.

New Publications.

A short time since we noticed the publication
of two new works, one entitled "The Pillar of
Fire" by the Rev. j. Ell. Ingraham, author of
the Prince of the House of David" and the
other, "The Budget Of Fun" These works we
have read and of the former we would say that
the author has hit upon a peculiar idea of
engaging the attention of readers and one which
is destined to make the work popular. The
sales Of this work are very large and it behooves
every one to posses copy; Of the latter we
would merely say that it is just the book for a
travelling companion, and as the journeying sea-
son has commenced, it will be found a solace,
and one of the most humorous species The
above works are for sale at Evans Great Gift
Book Store, Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, to
which establishment belongs the origin of the
gift system

Another Man Missing.

Mr.. Joseph Liebe, an Industrious German, a
resident of Saucon township in this county, has
been missing since Monday of last week. He
came to Easton on the morning of that day. in
tending to return home by the noon train on the
Lehigh Valley Railroad After getting thro
with his business here, he met the hotel keeper
at Hopes Lock, who was in town with horse
and carriage, and started on his way home with
him. They proceeded together as far as Ri
ley Smiths" on the Bethlehem road, where they
stopped, and where it appears the landlord drove
off and left him. This is the last place he was
seen, and where he went to from there is mys-
terry. Some Of his friends have been in town
since, and with the aid of the police, made dill
gent search without finding any trace of him.
1t is said he had about $50 in money with him
when he left home His disappearance is shrou-
ded in mystery that more strenuous measures
should be taken to unrave-Easton Sentinel.

A Narrow Escape.

AS the evening passenger train down, on Tues
day last, was approaching Coryell ST., the en-
gineer observed child standing upon the track
and Immediately blew down the brakes and stop
ped the engine, when the child stepped from the
track. The engineer thinking all was right
again, started the train and was crossing the
street at pretty good speed, when the child at
tempted to cross the track to the other side in
front of the engine. The engine barely missed
it, and its escape is truly miraculous, and should
serve as warning to parents not to allow their
offspring to play about the track as we are in
formed is the case in that neighborhood.

Corn Planting.

The farmers generally, throughout this coun-
ty, took advantage of the fine weather of the
past few weeks and have planted most of their
corn There will undoubtedly be great de-
mand for this article before this time next year,
and it will be good investment to put in good
quantity. The war in Europe will take most Of
the grain from this country, and should our farm
ers not plant more than the usual quantity,
there viii be great scarcity. There will be a
million men in the battle fields of Europe, and
where will they find breadstuffs if not in this
country
