1t Is impossible to suppose that any hui
man being can consider an attack of Fever
and Ague q light visitation. And yet thou
sands act as II such q calamity was of no
consequence while thousands who are
actually suffering from the distressing
complaint neglect to adopt the certain
means of cure. Il ought to be known in
every locality subject to the scourge, or
which is infested with remittent fever, or
any other epidemic produced by malaria,
that HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS
taken in advance or at the commencement
of the unhealthy season Will fOrtify the
system against the atmospheric poison
which generates these distempers. This
admirable fnvIgorant - harmless, agree
able, and possessing rarer medicinal viz

known, will break up the paroXysIns
of intermittent or remittent fever
in from fOrty-eight' hours to ten days.
Such is the universal testimony from
districts where periodical fevers have
eombatted with this powerful Vegetable
Chologogue. In a, bhieVish neigh bcrhood
wise men bar their doors and windows,
yet strange TO say If the same neigh bOr-

THE DISCOVERY OF THE GREAT
WEST. By FRANCIS PARKafAN, Author
OF " Plonee1s Of France in the. New
America Boston: LITTLE TITLE BRoT W & {
Co.
This is part third of series of his
torical narratives entitled France and
England in North America. The
author claims, in his preface, that
much which has heretofore been re-
garded as very obscure in the history
of the early discoveries in the Great
West, is made plain in this present
volume. A large amount of wholly
new material has been used, which
was derived from the various public
archives of France and from private
sources.
The present volume is mainly de.
voted to full and complete bio
graphical sketch of LaSalle. Per-
haps no name connected with the
discovery and early settlement of the
NorthWestis so elshrouded in mys.
terry and romance as that of this great
French explorer. Much of this mys-
terry and romance seems to have been
impenetrable to the searching and scru.
tinizing gaze of even Mr.. Parkman
Yet he has successfully unravelled
many tangled and intricate eircum.

LETTERS OF PEREGRIN PICKLE. By
GEORGE P. UPTON. Chicago: WESTERN
NEWS COMPANY. f-ss
These letters originally appeared in
the Chicago Tribune, over the nom de
plane adopted as the title of the
book. They are mainly devoted to
matters of gossip and interest in the
world of amusement, and attracted so
much interest at the time of their
publication that Mr.. Upton has Been
persuaded to collect aud print them
in book form. They are brief, sen
tentious, and of marked originality.
They are also sufficiently numerous to
claim the attention of the lovers of
fun.

A number of Jewish Rabbis, from
the principal cities of the Union, have
been in Conference at Philadelphia,
on the subject of reform in the Jewish
Church. They have adopted resolu-
tons aboli5hing tae use of prayers in
the Hebrew tongue, as unintelligible
to the masses; disclaiming the doc
trine Of bodily resurrection, or the
removal Of the Jewish state by segre-
CATION from all other nations. and de-
claring the Aironic priesthood and
the Mosaic sacrifcial worship to have
been merely preparatory TO Israels
national priesthood, and therefore
things of the past, to be mentioned in
prayer in their educational capacity,
and not to be practical.
