We consider that the additions have more
than doubled the value of the work for ordinary
use.-Ind. School jour. Aug. 1859.
That this will be the most valuable edition
of any Dictionary in the English language no
one can for n moment doubt.-Iolra School
journal, July, 1859.
The illustrations are finely cut and printed.
and form novel and valuable feature.
Educational Journal, August, 1889.
Wemay safely say, that Webster's Dictionary,
Pictorial Edition, Unabridged, is the most com
plete Dictionary of the English language that
We have ever seen. In the completeness of its
vocabulary of our language, and in the accuracy
and fulness of its definitions, Webster's Diction-
airy stands prominent and in 0rthography it is
follo wed by a majority of American writers, SO
far our observation eXtends.-N. Carolina
Journal of Education, August, 1859.
1t has retained all the good of its predeces-
sors, and has added new and valuable improve
mcnts. Hon. Horace Mann has
said /" It's the best defining Dictionary in the
English Language" and eminent scholars and
orators, like Daniel Webster, VIM. H. Prescott,
and others have declared themselves decidedly
in favor of the accuracy and extent of its def
nitions. In this respect, pronunciation, }
Webster's works appear to us at least as good
and authoritative as any we have seen.
These alterations, [orthography,) appear to us
not only reasonable, but also popular, when we
are told that ten million school books are annu-
allypublshed in the United States compiled by
authors who recognize Webster as their stand
ard of photography. Too high praise
cannot be bestowed on the execution of the rood
cuts. To present these cuts all by themselves
is an advantage, because they could thus bc
printed on better paper, and be easier and to
greater advantage classified under distinct
heads. a table of Synonyms, by Prof
Goodrich, occupying seventy quarto pages, and
containin6 over 1000 words, the meaning and
use of which are shown more clearly and min
utely than in any other work with.which We are
acquainted. a No unimportant and ar
bitrary compounds have been admitted in the
appendix of this edition. .
That volume like this, of 1850 quarto pages,
handsomely got up profusely illustrated, alike
substantial and attractive, and embodying an
amount of literary labor found in few other
works can be purchased as this is is one of the
narycls of modern skill and cnterprise.-NdS-

IMPURE BLOOD.
The blood is the life and when any foreign
or unhealthy matter gets mixed with it, it is at
once distributed to every organ of the body.
Every nerve feels the poison, and all the vital
organs quickly complain. The stomach will
not digest the food perfectly. The liver ceases
to secrete Il suffciency of hi lie. The action of
the heart is weakened, and so the circulation is
feeble. The lungs become clogged with the
poisonous matter hence, a cough-and all from
slight impurity at the fountain head of life
the Blood AS if you had thrown some earth
for instance, in pure spring, from which ran a
tiny rivulet, in a few minutes the whole course
of the stream becomes disturbed and dscolored.
As quickly does impure blood fly toevery part,
and leaveits sting behing. All the passages
become Instructed, and unless the obstruction
is removed, the lamp of life soon dies out.

regenerate all the secrctions of the body; they

between . colored man named John Robin.
son and three Irishmen named Patrick
Carney, VIM. Harrison, and John Conrsy,
which resulted in the fata! stabbirs Of Rob-
inson. He died abodt one half hour after

and gave bail to appear for trial next term
Of court. but unfortunately the bail of the
man who gave the fatal blow, Carney, has
proved worthless and he has left for parts

Patrick Carney is said to have been the

much regretted That he should have escaped
the penalty he SO justly merits.
