Literary notices from the Press throughout the
country.
THE SUNNY SOUTH" This book is composed of
series of letters written in an interesting style
of narrative, embodying the most romantic fea-
lures of social life on different kinds plantations.
We can bear testimony, from our own personal
observation of similar scenes in the South to their
truthfuness as here depicted. They are portrayed
in vivid, interesting style, and we would like to
see the book in the hands of thousands of deceived
people who have no personal knowledge either of
Southerners or Southern life, except what they
have gained from partizan journals, or those who
Intentionally have written to deceive. "-Ddsty Re
public, Buffalo, ~ Y.
The SUNNY SOUTH" This volume is in the
form of letters. They give, SO far we can judge
faithful pictures of Southern life, and are penned
withr ut prejudice. They present scenes quite diff
ferent from an Uncle TENS Cabin the pictures
presented here are quite graphic and we think the
portraits painted are in very nearly natural col
Ors.'-BostOn Daily Bee.
The SUNNY SOUTH" We have rarely peeped
within the covers of a more appetizlng volume.
Altho' not intended an answer to the foul I'M
truths in the Uncle Tom trash of the last ten years
it nevertheless does numerically hurl back to
their source all lies of such nature, and
glad to believe that the book will be read in thous
ands of northern homes. The south also should
take to it benignantly for independent of its truth
fulness and integrity it is one of the lveliest and
most entertaining books of the year. Times,

A CONvERsIoN.-On Monday eve
ming last at Pokagon, we renewed our offer to
furnish the Rpu5lican to Democrats, taking our
paw when Lincoln should be elected. Several
democrats, present accepted our offer. Among
them was gentleman who nearly two years since,
while a member<ef the Board of Supervisors,
pending propositi0p 'to have the proceedings
published in the Repu51sean, and that each member
of the Board be furnished with number of copies
for gratuitous distributioi' used the following
language, as near we can recoliect: gu
che Republicans) in the majogity here, and can
pass resolution authorizing thu publication OF
this statement in your Black Republican sheet;
but you must not expect me to take IL, distribute
IL, or read 1t, FOR SHALL NOT DO tn Yet
this same man, in less than two years fromNthe
time of uttering the above, in the presence of at
least a hundred persons, not only promised to
take this "Black Republican sheet" but actually
promised to read it. This we consider the most
significant conversion of the campaign, and we
say to friends, Keep the ball rolling" We
have much hope of these poor locos yet.

NEW SCHOOL HoUsE.-At the An
nual School Meeting Of fractional school district
No. 7,fSilEer Greek, on Monday evening last, a
resolution was passed. authorizing the building of
a new school house, to replace the one burned last
spring to be built of brick and to cost not less
than six Thousand dollars. This announcement
will be hailed with delight by large majority of
our citizens, who have felt SO much, during the
last few months, the want of suitable school bull
dings- We have ever believed, and confess that
we have seen no reason lately to change this
opinion, that nothing tends so much to the pros
perity, happiness and growth of village as good
schools

IMPORTANT SURGICAL OPERATION
The operation of the removal entire, of of the
breasts of lady from Michigan City, for the cure
of cancer, was successfully performed by DR..
William E. Clarke, of this village, few days ago.
The patient came to this village for the purpose of
having the operation performed; was put and kept
by DIR. G. under the influence of chloroform whilst
it was going on, so that she was not sensible of
the slightest pain during the operation, and is now,
we learn, in course of rapid recovery. DR.. NJ.
Porter assisted in the operation.
