FIFTY CENTS PER COPY,

and it initiates series OF the best non-copy-
right works in the English Language, under
the distinctive title of the Chandos Classics"
all Of which are to be published at price
heretofore unequaled. The great popularity
of Warne's Shakespeare in England may be
judged from the fact that the first edition Of
Fifty Thousand copies was taken up immed-
lately upon publication, and that the second
edition, also of Fifty Thousand, is now near
ly exhausted. Since other standard works
similar in style are to follow this, the trade
and the public will appreciate the importance
to order Warnes Shakespeare in preference
to any other.
N. B.-Warne's Shakespeare il printed up
on white paper, and no attempt is made to
save space by running in the Dialogues
The page is therefore clear, open, distinct,
and perfectly legible.

Judge Carriers Speech ON DIR.
GrfsWO1d's bug Hfll.


LUKE, the Columbus correspondent of
the Cleveland PLAIN Dealer, furnishes
that journal of Wednesday the follow
ing:
DIR. Griswold's bill for the appointment
of State Etymologist, was discussed
at some length. The DIR. defended his
bill with great ability. but he was DOOM
ed to the fate of other strong men who
fight under disadvantage. His bill
was lost, and the bugs can now rest in
peace for another year.
The speech of Judge Carter. of De-
,ianee. is a specimen of the argument
that knocked the bug bill higher than
Gilderoy's famous kite. Judge Garter
said: f-59
1t can hardly be expected by the au-
thor of this bill, the Hon. Senator from
Lorain, that its enactment will forestall
the laws of the great Creator of the
wisest as well as the higher order of life,
or that by some mysterious mode of COM
munication learning that war had been
declared against them, the insect tribes
should hunt their holes beneath the CLAW
or in the clefts of the rocks, and cease to
propagatef No such results can be ex-
pected to follow an enactment of the
Ohio Legislature. 1t would require at
least an act of Congress to accomplish

Excellency the Governor and Comman-
der-in-chief of the forces, and authenti-
Gated by the great seal of the State, sets
forth in his war against the insects.
And suppose that mounted, equipped
and armed, he was to charge la Hude-
bras, the insects and bugs of Oberlin-
though it might answer as an exhibition
of chivalry (for it is said by some that
chivalry came North like the pianos and
spoons), yet this would hardly effect the
object desired. ~.
I am not informed that any one or
more of the plaques sent upon Pharaoh
has fallen upon any portion OF the State.
If such be the fact, let the afflictedsbear
their punishment with due composure.
But seriously, it was said few days
ago by the Hon. Senator from Lorain,
that the expense of this office would be
cnly SI,500, and this would come from
funds of the Board of Agriculture-and
pray let me ask where do the Board get
their funds if not from the pockets ofthe
people2
This is not all. This proposed bug
hunter must employ an engraver to illus
trate his discourses. He must be fur
nished with proper Instruments to probe
the mysteries Of the insect creation. He
