Of great value. A single hint often saves a

greatly lessen its drudgcry. A farmer was

on this hint for a part Of his crop, give him
an increase of over five bushels per acre oil

occurring in all departments of life. Indeed
progress and profit conc from an accumula

thoughts is suggested by looking through the

An AMERICAN YEAR BooK-A book with

Of Q. y. Case s Co., Hartford, Conn, edited

and it may be defined TO be ar almanac on a
most extended scale. Similar works have
been print d ia this country, but now discon-
tinued, and also in England. Still. none
god as they were, have embraced so many
subjects relating to the important concerns of
life and Of advanced society. We give a

Of the whole world, our colleges, orr schools
and school funds, aud the important events
and debates OF the past year.. Most of these
subjects arc treated it'll an extension of de-
tail which leaves little to be desired. Besides
| there are four essays on the following sub
! jects-The Progress of Agriculture, Currency
and Finance, Mining and Literature and the
Literary Influences of the day. This book
contains much that every man would like to
know, and more than any one man. ever did
know The labor bestowed must have been
immense and it gives better collective view
Of the progress and material re. ourccs of our
people than any compilation. llai the an
clients, whose civilization some profess to ads
mire, possessed the art or the industry to
have made such a collection, we would be
better a5le to judge of the extent Of that civil
lization, or more properly, how limitedit was.

all kinds depend more upon facts than
formerly, perhaps because we have them, and
future writers will refer TO this volume as
the beginning Of . series which form the
frame. work Of statistical knowledge.

some indiscreet individual or individuals had
been breaking one of the ten commandments,

the action Burglary. The evidences are simp-
~ these:

Stones Shoe Shop, the door between there and
Walters Grocery forced open, and between 5

act annoant taken cannct be ascertained, hut
undoubtedly not less than Is Or 20 dollars.

Shop. glass was also broken from the rear
window of Clark Bros. Store, and the sash
raised. Messrs. Clarke Brcs. lost n very
little amount Of change from their till, which
