I@- The Hebrew Bible used by DR..
Increase Mather, when he was the first
President Of Harvard College, is still ex-
tant, in good preservation. This Bible
was published in Antwerp 10 1894, and
brought to this country in 1886, and is
now ESQ years old 1t contains all the
books OF the Old Testament in Hebrew,
the New Testament in Greek, and has a
Latin interlinestion throughout. In
front Of the Bible are engravlugs OF MIR.

fF The receipts Of the State of New
York from its canals will be only about
half what was received in 1869. The
practice OF Western farmers to keep back
their stocks OF grain till the close of nsvi-

is one great cause of this.

In that region is that the cotton crop is
surer than corn; and although it costs
