MORTON HOUSE,
a NOVEL.


BY THE AUTHOR OF VALERIE AYLMER.'
One volume paper covers, with four illustra-
tions; price, S1.00; cloth, $3.50.
1T Is A STORY OF THE SOUTH, THIRTY
wears ago, and the scene is laid entirely in that
region. in the State of Alabama, 50 far as we can
Judge bv the names of towns and counties. 1t has
all of the merits and few or none of the faults of
''ValeriC Alymer." The young authOress, who
is a lady of North Carolina, has, in her second
effort improved upon her first, though that was
work of decided power, and received high COM
mendatiOn from critics of acknowledged skill.
The Louisville COurieT-JOuTgdt pronounced 1t the
best society novel of the day, and the Hon Alex
ander II. Stephens, i'll a published letter, pro-
nOunced it work of merit. He said: 81
was exceedingly interested in ii, and pleased
with it. consider il one of the best, indeed the
very best novel have met with in long time.
The descriptive power, the word-palnting power
of the author, is very great. j do not know when
| have met with a novel which has pleased me 30
much. / shall look with interest to the future
career of this writer in the fields of literature.
There must he great deal more of the same

Ore HilI.
 The grading of the Railroad between this village and State Line has been commenced preparatory to the laying of the rails. which are expected in few days. The people of this section are quite anxious 10 see the cars in operation, in order to have better wagon roads for the travelling public, as there are great quantities of iron ore and iron carted over them continually, which tends to keep them in very bad condition. The general remark in regard to the benefit derived from the Railroad is, we may have better roads in future. eco. Large quantities of iron ore are being raised in the mines here this sea- son, larger than for a number of years past. There is very little demand for it at present, as the furnace men claim to have full stock, but many anticipate they are waiting to have it delivered on the Railroad, which will make it far better, as we'll as of less expense to them. It seems very odd to the diggers to be required to dump their ore in heaps until there is demand for it, some thing that has not occurred for number of years. In the past, the call for it has been so great that teams would wait from day light until dark for their turn for load, and then very often be obliged to return without it, and often the case that the drivers would dig their own loads to avoid waiting so long.

Kent.-THE FOURTH FIGHT, MURDER, TRIAL, ,&c
 The Fourth passed off very quietly here, with an effort to have friendly game of base ball between the Mt Ago club, of this village, and the White Caps of South Kent. At the third inning they were obliged to suspend the game, as the bal! was lost. In the evening there was dis play of fireworks, but we make no preten- sions to it's being very grand, or very ex- tensive, yet it furnished very satisfactory amusement for short time. Quite large crowd was present to witness the display. The occasional firing of ''fifty-six," and the usual snapping of fire-crackers and tor pedoes, were the rather annoying accom-. panyment......La Last week Wednesday morn ing, the people were startled by learning that an Indian by the name of Joseph Kill son, was laying on the stoop of MT. F. A. Mallory's store, his head badly beaten, and in dying condition. Cruel wounds and cuts rather indicated foul play. He was first discovered by MT. Mallory while open ing the blinds to his store. By the suffer- ing mans side sat his two little sons, one ten years old and the other seven. They did not seem to know much about the affair, or the cause of their fathers distress, and could only say that the man who did it had horse and wagon. He was carried home, and with much suffering fingered till Thurs day, and died leaving wife and eight chil- fD Joseph Hill, as the perpetrator of the deed, and Saturday, Sheriff Chamberlain, assisted by Messrs. B. M. Judd and F. A. Mallory, arrested Hill in Lakeville, and with him, grappled an Indian named Pan, who was with Hill at the time of the melee. They were tried before Justice Beach, and Hill was bound over to await trial at the Superior Court, and Pan was released. In this examination, Pan testified that Hill and his wife were going past Mallory's store in the night, when somebody threw stones at them. That Hill left the wagon and went in pursuit of the person or per sons who threw the stones, while he (Pan) held Hills horse. That Hill found some body in the Episcopal burying-ground, and pounded him with stone. Hill and Pan then took the injured man, Supposed to be Killson,) to the store stoop, washed his face and left him. Hill told substan- tially the same story. A Post Mortem examination was made by Dr. J. w. King, who testified that death came as the result of an affusion of blood on the brain.

RESULT OF CENTURIES OF CULTURE. The successive editions of WRBsTER's UaGbridg- ed are as perennial in interest ss in value.
 Each successive reprint finds the work of our great photographer still unrivaled among English dictionaries. In each republication we likewise find mirror of the scientific
 progress of the age, sleepless vigilance which nothing escapes, to catch every new shade of verbal significance, and to retain for our unspproached standard of language, that freshness which preserves it from ever becoming old. In the 1,S40 pages before us there are compressed the results of cen tstries of culture, and the sum of the intel lectual contributions of some of the greatest minds of the race. Whether regarded as 8 whole, or in detail, the book is equally marvellous. Its illustrations are copious, appropriate and carefully executed. The matter in the appendix is of character indispensable for reference to all who read, and to all who write with serious purpose. The book is, in short, one which neither school nor study, library or office. ought to be without.

Soires.-Very select and exceedingly pleas ant was the soiree given at the house of the Hon. Wm. H. Barnum, on Wednesday evening of last week. On his beautiful grounds, and very near to the new laundry, was erected large platform, which was entirely surrounded by elegant hanging lamps. A carpet walk from the house to this platform, with row of lamps either side, completed the arrangements for the accommodation of those who desired to "trip the light fantastic" Many regrets were expressed that MT. Barnum's busi- ness would not permit him to be present i; although as we understand, it was Mrs. Barnuns's party, which may account for the completeness of every feature of the occasion. All who participated in the en- joyments of tho evening are profuse in their expressions of the entertainment fur nished by that most estimable lady.

Narroao Escape.-Last Monday, as MT. Morgan Tyler was moving in MT. George Cofing's meadow, he discovered a large stone directly in front of his moving ma chine, and stopping his horses to remove the stone, they became frightened as it was being rolled away, and ran violently through the meadow and against large tree, smashing the machine into almost number less pieces. AS the horses started, Mir
 Tyler grappled one of them by the head, but they soon broke away from him, throw ing him to the ground, but, fortunately, he fell on the near side of the horses. Had he been on the other side, he must surely have been cut to pieces by the machine.
