The last issue of the Geneva Times
came to us In all the beauty of a new
dress, new heading aud with the an
nouncement that the old firm of Spencer
and Vaughn had been succeeded by the
new one of Spencer and Lindergreen.
The Times has ever been one of our best
exchanges and we are pleased to notice
these evidences of a deserved prosper ity.
We wish the new firm all success, and
trust that the retiring partner viii also
meet with continued good fortune.
Among the earliest of the October
magazines, there comes the Phremolog.-
cal Journal. Necessarily somewhat
confined in the scope of its articles, as
indeed are also almost all other class
works, whose objects are to advance
some single idea or set of opinions, the.
Journal manages, nevertheless, to pre-
sent very readable and entertaining
table of contents, and the present num-
ber is quite up to the average. Pub
lished by Samuel r. Wells, 3S9 Broad
way, N. Y, at $500 per year.
The Messrs Putnam have undertaken
the American agency of the London
Medical Record, an excellent weekly Pc
riodical, presenting condensed summa-
ry of the current progress made in the
various branches of medicine, each de-
partment being .cOllated by experts of
the highest professional distinction. Its
pages contain no original communica-
tions, but are culled and condensed
from the wide range of cOtempo rane-
Gus medical literature. and the work of
condensation is SO well done that the
readers of the Record are kept fully in-s
formed of every fact of importance elic-
tied by observers throughout the world.
Among our neighbors change seems
to be the order of the times. just as we
were becoming accustomed to the name
of the Dairy Gazette that title, fades
away and our cotemporary appears un-

appreciate sufficiently the paper which
was to be so exclusively devoted to their
interests and hence the change, AM
other important move was made at the
same time. The new paper has retro
graded to the patent ready-printed out
side aud its readers are sgain to be treat
| ed to the stale re-hash that has become
characteristic of that species OF publi-
cations. We regret that the support ac-
corded to the Dairy Gazette was not
sufficient to keep it in existence.
Scribner &c Co. will issue next month
the first number of st. Nicholas, an IL
lustrated monthly for children. This
new journal will be a first-class maga-
zine for young folks, and its illustra-
tions will be as good and its reading
matter as carefully prepared as If it
were intended for adult readers of the
most cultured classes. The contents,
whether for little toddlers, or girls and
| boys almost grown up, are to be of the
highest order. 1t viii be conducted By
Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge, late editor of
