Oyrp FOR THE ParsEsr.-Tho groa'

Over FOR THE PREsEST.-Tho great
Radical sensation in Huntingdon last
week, terminated in tho defeat Of
the prosecutor, A. l.. Guss, Principal
.ofthc Cassville Orphans School. The
cs 'e was that of libel, aud the defend
ant one Wharton. Guss claimed that
Wharton wrote, had printed and cir
culated during the recent campaign
circulars in the highest degree derog-
atory to his, Guss', moral status The
verdict exculpates Wharton, but [ jos
not, seemingly, relieve Guss to any
alarming extent. Rev. Guss and Col.
Wharton were both Radical candi-
dates for Congress, but they were
most handsomely Specr-ed at the late
election, and beautifully exposed at
the late term Of Court. Guss, 1t
seems, belongs to the Beecher Wood
huh persuasion in morals, and is
therefore a ct teacher Of moral idcas.

We are in receipt Of this new and most agree.
able volume of over 500 pages from the press Of
e. Hannaford Il Co., publishers of FIRST
CLASS Subscription Books, Cincinnati and
Chicago) The author is Hon. w. Z. Webb, OF
Topeka, Kansas, long and widely known from
his connection with the interests of emigration,
anda strikingly original and popular humorist
1t Itdescribes the wealth and wonders, the mys-
teries and marvels of the boundless West-thai
wild region so much talked about, yet so little
understood, whose growth and development
seem like q tale of Eastern magic. Il Is superb
lyilluctrated, containing no less than fifty three
original and striking engravings, from actual
photographs and designs by Prof. Henry Wor-
rail-, and executed (the enterprisng publishers
assure us) at a cost of over $1,000.
In a short review like this, it is, Of course,
impossible to convey perfect idea of this ad-
mirable work. To any one who has the least
touch of the 'Westem Fever" 1t must prove
really invaluable; and for all classes OF readers
without exception, 1t is the liveliest and most
laugh provoking book we have seen for many
lay. 1t abounds with valuable information,
the reality of which is vouched for by Governor
Harvey, of Kansas, and others. 1t fairly brims
over with wit and humor, and many of its chap
ters rival Mark Twain's happiest style.
"Buffalo Land" embraces wide and varied
range Of topics, among them the following:
Details Of great interest and Importance con-
'erning the natural features, vast resources
rapid development, and almost incredible pro-
yress of the far Western States and Territories
with glimpses of their mighty future.
Curiousand interesting facts connected witt
the climatic and other changes consequent up
IN the settlement and denser population of the
lewly-reclamed Western Lands.
Fresh and authentic information, from
)hlcial sources, respecting the supply of fue'
and lumber available for use on the GREAT
PLAINS; the cost of farm, what the emigran,
should bring with him, stock raising in the
West, sc.
full summary of the Homestead and Pre-
'mption laws and regulations, prepared by o
'onner Register Of the U. s. Land office.
Full and accurate descriptions of the habits
characteristics, etc, of the savage red man
'uffalo, wolf, elk, antelope, etc, as found II
iheirnatiye wilds and on the outskirts of civili-
.ation. -
Graphic and thrilling narratives of hunting
adventures, stalking the bison, encounters witt

Vivid pictures of life on the frontiers; the
