There are few intelligent American families
in which Harper's Magazine would not be al
appreciated and highly welcome guest. There
is no monthly magazine an intelligent reading
family can less afford to be without. Many
magazines are accumulated. Hdrper's is edited.
There is not a magazine that is printed which
shows more intelligent pains expended on its
articles and mechanical execution. There is
not cheaper magazine published. There is
not, confesseGly, more popular magazine in
the word.-NeW England Homestead.
A repository of biography and history, litera-

are as valuable as mere work of reference as
any cyclopadia we can place in our libraries.

The Washington Chronicle of Decem'
beo lst, remarks:
"The best evidence that this comps-
ny, far superior to many that would fill
either OF our theatres, is truly talent-
ed one, is the fact that they were called
before the curtain, (or rather it wac
rung up,) at the end of each act, while
the applause was bestowed without
stint throughout the performance.

two feet deep over the top OF the well.
The platform OF the pump was tloated
from it's place ard the pump was

the side Of the well. The well is stu

lower than the other, On Monday,
when the water from the river
was sabsiding, the aound Of falling water
was heard in the yicinit. OF the well
and when the food had abated suf-
ficiently to leave the higher side Of the

under water, light was lowered into
the cavity and showed that the water
in the well was fifteen feet below the
