RECOMMENDATION.

THE AMERICAN YEAR Book AND NATION AL REGISTER FOR 1869, published by O. D. Case & Co.,, Hartford, is undoubtedly the most complete and valuable book of astro- nomical, historical, political, financial, commercial, agricultural, educational, and religious reference ever published. It is a universal almanac, filled with information never before presented in so compact 2 form. The Hon. Horace Greeley says that it ss contains much that every man would like to know, and more than one man ever did know. The labor bestowed must have been immense, and 1t gives better collec- tive view of the progress and material re- sources of our people than any other com pilation." Among other valuable statis- tics, it includes tables of the principal off, ficers of the government, from the first Continental Congress to the present time, list of Governors in every State from it's admission into the Union down to 1869, accurate Congress and Committee lists, a complete table of Ministers resident and .of Consuls, full compilation of Assessors and Collectors, Army and Navy lists, the names of all the colleges in the United States, with their character, location, and date of organization. abstract of public laws, statistical sketches of all the States and Territories, nearly one hundred pages of Presidential election figures, giving the vote of every county in the United States from 1886 to 1863, and obituary notices of the distinguished dead of 1868 The com pilation of the work reflects great credit on it's editor, Mir. David N. Camp, The work will be sold by subscription, and its proprietors ofer the most liberal terms to agents.-New Fork Sun.
 Rev. George B. Newcomb, pastor of the Congregational Society of Wolcottville, has handed in his resignation, to take effect the 1st of July next. MT. Newcomb's la- bors. here, for the past three years have been very arduous, owing to the fact that during that time the society has been building a new church and has been with out suitable place of worship, but not withstanding these difficulties. the society has gained in strength, while the church has nearly doubled it's membership. The sittings of the church sold last Fall for about $2. 700, which shows the esteem in which Mir. Newcomb is held as preacher. At a meeting of the society, called to con- sider the resignation, it was unanimously voted that he be requested to withdraw it, but it is not probable that he will do so.,
 
 Mr. Newcomb bears with him the we'll wishes not only of his own congregation, but of the community generally, and the society, wherever it may be, that secures his labors, will find him an able preacher faithful pastor, and a kind and courte- ous gentleman.
