J. b. LIPPINcoTT s. Co.-The publish
ing house of J. B. Lippincott & Co., Phil
adelphia, is we'll known as one of the
largest and best in the country. The
business was started toward the close of
the last century, and has been successful
ly followed up to the present time. The
present firm came into its possession in
1850. They attend to all branches of the
book, magazine and stationary trade. Be-
sides the large number of books they pro-
duce yearly, they issue four monthly
magazines, viz: Ltppiacotfs Good Words,
The Sunday Magazine, and Good Words
for the Young. On the LIST of October
they propose to issue a semi-monthly
journal of medical and surgical science,
to be called The Medical Times. Large as
their present establishment is, comprising
marble building, 900 feet deep by over
40 feet front on Market street, a fire-proof
building in the rear for stereotyping pur.
poses, costing over half million of dol
lars, and six-story building on Fifth
street, where are the printing rooms with
fifteen steam presses bindery, etc., the
firm are about erecting another massive
structure ON Hilbert street in order to
facilitate work and keep pace with the in
crease of business. It will be so arranged
that everything in connection with the
book business can be brought right upon
the spot, so that when any manuscript
comes in it can be got out as bound
volume within one complete establish
ment. 1t will cost between two and three
hundred thousand dollars, and is to be a
handsome and imposing structure, and
will be connected with the building on
Market street, presenting clean sweep of
366 feet, from Market to Hilbert streets.
1t is expected to equal, if not excel, the
famous establishment of the Harpers in
New York. Recently additions have
been made to the firm in the persons of
Mr.. Craige Lippinoott and Mr.. Walter
Lippincott, two gentlemen who have been
connected with the establishment for a
long time.
AN INSANE MAN ABOARD THE SARA
ToGA TRAIN ATTEMPTS TO CUT HIS
THROAT-A SAD SToRY.-Among the
passengers on the Saratoga train Thurs
day evening was a Scotchman, named
William Bowles, who had landed at Que
bee few days since from Scotland. He
was ON his way to New York. Officer
Bailey, member of the Albany police
force, was on the train, and also II. ID.
men sat near Bowles, and they soon dis
covered that there was something wrong
with the man. He would pull handfulls
of hair from his head and whiskers, and
Bailey heard that he had sold his watch
on the trniu for twenty-five cents, and his
knife for five cents, both of which he re-
covered for Bowles. He then commenced
to recite some incidents of his passage.
He told how he suffered from sickness on
shipboard, and how he was treated by the
doctor. He referred to his wife and chill
dren, whom he had left behind in the old
country, and this seemed to work him up
to state of frenzy, during which he
drew his knife. opened the blade and
made desperate attempt to cut his throat
in the presence of a coachfull of passeng-
ers. The greatest excitement followed.
Officer Bailey seized his arm before he
accomplished the act, but it took the COM
bined strength of four large men to pre-
vent hlm from the cousnmatlou OF the |
act He vas finally secnrad and removed |
to the -econd precinct station house, where
Captain Hngndorn extended to the I'M
fortunate maniac all the care aud atten-
ton his case demanded. He procured |
kinds of nourishment for him,
and fed him with spoon. II is expected
that he will be sufficiently recovered soon
to proceed on his way.
