City Railroad Depot, she was stopped by two me-
grocs, who had suddenly emerged from the
woods directly in front Of her. One of them
seized her by tho arm and attempted to drag her
INTO the woods, when she commenced screaming,

small framed tenement, in which four men
had taken refuge, parted at the top and fell to
the ground, and one of the party was SO badly
injured that it was necessary to carry him
home. Bridges over small streams were swept

RE VIEW or VIEW B00Ka

From J. B. Lippncott q Co. we have re-
ceived 'The Sexes Here and Hereafter" by
william III. Holcombe, NJ D. This work is a
discussion OF the relations of the sexes, and the
subjects of love and marriage, here and here
alter, according to the Swedenborgian tencts
Inc author endeavors to show that the religion
OF Swedenborg is very different thing from
modern spiritualism, and that sex, love, and
marriage are universal and eternal. There are
many eloquent passages in the book, and it will
be read with interest by those who agree with
the views of the writer.
1.-THE Tennessean in Persia and KoOrdistan,"
by Rev. Dwight w. Marsh, is the record of the
life, abors and observations of an American
missionary, Samuel Audey Shea, who resided
for a number of years in Persia. The work de-
seribes portion of Asia but little visited and
but little known. As narrative of travel and
adventure in a strange country it is interesting,
but Christian readers will be particularly
by theacoount of Mr.. Sheaslabor in behalf of the
conversion of the natives and the spread of the
Christian religion. The work is profusely illus
trated with maps and engrayings.
"A pamphlet prepared by some of the friends
OF Indian missions in this city has been sent to
us, and we gladly commend it to the notice of
Christians of all denominations, and to all who
are interested in the welfare of the Indians on
our far Western plains The pamphlet gives the
journal of Rev. s. D. Hindman, missionary to
the Santee Sioux Indians, and the address of
Bishop Whpple on the death of Taopi, the
Christian Indian chief The pamphlet is interest
ingl to those who are laboring in the Missionary
cause, and it contains number of valuable facts
and suggestions which are worthy of the conside-
ration of those who owish to understand the Indian
difficulty in all its bearings. pamphlet will be
