which has been in vogue since the days of Gut
tenburg and Faust. The Ceases" were very sys-
tematcally arranged, and the theory looks en-
tirely feasible and worthy Of careful lnvestiga-
ton by the printing fraternity. The author of

the religious world, is creating considerable ex-

mont temple. Large crowds were passing in
and ont al the time, in attendance upon Elder
Knapp's meetings. The arrest was made on the
authority of the following: mo persons shall
stand IN any street for the purpose OF grinding
cutlery, for the sale of any article, for thu
exercise of any business or calling, unless duly
licensed by the board of aldermen" Mr.. Hatcl
is a resident of Mansfield, and was distributin.
q tract entitled "The atonement IN connection
with the death of Christ" when arrested. H,
was held in the sum of 5000 to appear in thu
municipal court. Whether giving away tract.
may fairly be considered business requiring
license, is point never brought before Boston

atve the treasures of tract societies will be
the principal sufferers.

We find this remarkable advertisement in the
New Bedford Mercury: obstruction in Cook
ins.-Ruth Russell is ready to receive scholars
for instruction in cooking. Special attention to
be given 10 bread-making and pure, good yeast.
n. B. Persons at service can receive instrue-
tons in one or all the various branches of cook
ing on favorable terms The lady will I'M
doubtedly win success where the noble Bot
failed, for be taught the art of high cooking
and deigned TO notice very little of the plain
work necessary to the health and happiness OF
the middle classes. Ruth Russell comes down
TO this homey business of bread-makiug, in
GLIDING the formation of yeast and the other in.
tricacies necessary to old-fashiOned bread. As
she has entered upon a really charitable work,
we have no doubt her charges will be moderate
and her instruction quite as good, as far as it
goes, as that OF Prof. Blot She ought to be well
patronized and provoke dozens of people to like
good works
