Tho public are now respectfully informed thatthe

ed in the east, and from the personal testimony Of
millers Who'll have tried them throughout the Western
States, and in view Of the increased demand for
grinding which viii exceed that of any previous

ness assisted by their former miller, Mr.. Wells, they
hope for the continuance and increased patronage Of
their friends.

South Third Street, Philadelphia.
The subject ofReligion and the Doctrines of sects
must always have an absorbing interest for the
thoughtful observer, and a work which affords the
desired information, in q convenient and accessible
form, at a moderate price, has been urgently dennan-
ded, and viii be sought for with avidity, and must
command a large sale.
In the present work, the origin, Development.
d~octrinal belief, Church Government and peculiari-
ties Of over eighty different religious seets, are trea-
ted in q style clear, compendious and accurate, and
viii afford all the information which might be pro-
cured with great difficulty and expense, and much
labor and research, from the larger %polemical works
and encyclopedias.
DIR. Smucker has evidently prepared this work
with much care, and it exhibits great ability and
learning. The articles on the different religions are
very impartially written, and show the careful study
of an unprejudiced and sound mind and the i'm
~pOrtanee and value cannot be too highly estimated
Of such superior and unbiased effort In a work Of
this kind, as too often, those pretending to give cor
rect Information upon such subjects are prejudiced
in favor Of some particular sects Or denominations.
Ar. Rulison has brought out this great work in a
worry handsome form, and the public is indebted to
him for a very valuable, instructive and useful book.
The price, Sl,00, is remarkably lew for such a work.
and in order that it may have a rapid and extensive
circulation, he will send it to any address, aecOmpa-
MED with a valuable Gift, on the receipt Of the price
and twenty-five cents to pay postage.

HORACE GREELEY gives notice over his
own signature, in the n. Y. Tribune OF
the I'd inst, that on or about the 10th, he
intends to leave New York for trip to
the west-perchance as far as Oregon
to return about the 10th of September.
As he never expects to live to come this
way again, he advises his friends of his
design, that they may take this opportu-
nifty to look on his face for the last time
He speaks of his case in the following
lackadaisical style:
~ make this announcement in the hope
that it may enable me to meet and greet
more personal friends some of whom
shall probably never see again on earth il
not ON this journey than | otherwise
could do. My time is limited, and / can.
not linger or turn aside as i otherwise
would but l want to see all my friends
of other days who may live near my route,
and hope to make some new ones"

eeption of character suitable to the un-
promisingness of his symptoms, and the

JUVENILE CRIMINAL. In New York, on
Tuesday, singular trial took place. Thomas
Miller, a boy of twelve years Of age, so small
as to be almost an infant in appearance, was
charged, on an indictment found by the
Grand Jury, with manslaughter in the first
degree. On the 7th of March last, he stabbed
another boy, named McElroy, with an awl,
inflicting wound from which the latter died.
The provocation was an attempt on the part
of McElroy to deprive him of his tools and
other implements of his trade. The Jury, in
merciful spirit, convicted him Of man
slaughter in the fourth degree. He was i'm
mediately sentenced to the House Of Refuge,
where he will remain till he is twenty one.
Mr.. John D. Defrees intends starting a
daily, tr-weekly and weekly newspaper at

hand performer, has juggled himself into n

motion that it is not unlikely he will have t.
turn to his old trade before long.

War of Races.

The old war Of races has again broken
out in st. Domingo-mulattoe against
blacks, blacks against mulattoes. The
new revolutionist President JEFFRARD,
being a mulatto, is hated by the blacks,
who are already conspiring to murderhim
and exterminate his party. This war of
races has, in some form, been going
on ever since the beginning of Haytien
independence. Whichever shade ol
color is in power, it invariably oppressef
the other there is therefore alway:
tyranny upon one side and the insurrec
tionary spirit upon the other. The fol
lowing story is told of the conduct Of
GEFFRARD, which, if true, seems to indi
cate that he has a spirit equal to the diff
fculties of his position:
Twice, about the 1st of February last
Geffrard, having discovered the existence
of secret Black Clubs, which were form
ing conspiracies against him, armed him
self and went unattended to the houses
where the meetings were held. Knock
ing ut the door, as soon as it was opened
he pushed past the servant, went W
stairs, and entered the room where tht
conspirators were assembled. In one o
them he saw q member of his own staff
He saluted him, and then turning to tn,
company, said quietly:
Gentlemen, you see l am cognizant o
your meetings Go on. When you ART
ready to act you will find me prepared tt
meet you. l will not disturb you
Adieur
And he bowed and retired The mem
Der of his staff was sick for several days
afterwardl This GOODNESS was as effective
as bloodshed it broke up the Club.
On the other occasion, few nights
after this occurrence, he entered a similar
Club at the house of a well-known blacl
woman of position in Porte-au-Prince.
There were seven persons present
This sudden appearance startled them
his quiet smile and sarcastic politeness
astounded them.
"Ahl good evening, my friendsl |" he
said. Seven 1t is magical number
