fire caught in the cellar of the main building
and near the north wing. The fire was dis
covered before it had made much progress, but

six years old, being built in 1874. This was

Sam Sherk; tale Of the woods of Maine, by
George H. Devereux, New York; Hurd &
Houghton, Riverside Press.
Every good book which possesses something
OF local custom and history is a positive addi-
ton to our literature, and in "Sam Sherk" we
net euly have careful picture of life in Maine
but very readable2story as we'll. The charac-
tiers are Just such as one meets in village and
Sam himself is capital specimen of the will
age loafer and meier do well. The scenes are
from life and if any one can read the account
OF the attempt to set free the mighty jam of
logs in the suddenly swollen river, the de-
scription OF the fight with hurricane kindled
fire in the woods and the fight with a pack Of
ravenous wolves-if enc can read the EXCITING
scenes without recognizing the power of the
writer, we fear that nothing will catch him but
the very yellowlest of novels. In word this
is thoroughly fresh, enjoyable and interest
ing book. All the booksellers have it.

we wonder these people did not take it weeks

in supporting idle comrades in a contest with
their former employers. 1t is trade readily

STAMP DUTIES.

Though we have already noticed
the fact, we will again remind our
readers that a material change has
taken place on the first of October,
in the Revenue law in regard to
stamps on notes, DC. By a copy OF
the amended law, we observe that
the act provides for the repeal of ''the
stamp tax on promissory notes for
less sum than one hundred dollars,
and on receipts for any sum OF
money. or for the payment of any
debt" from and after the first day
of October, 1870. BY another act,
passed the same day, July 14th, 1870
canned and preserved fish, shell fish
meats, fruits and vegetables" have
been exempt from revenue tax since
the passage of the act.
