TREASON AT HOME. By Mrs. Greenough.
PIP. 400 Philadelphia T. b. Peterson
& Brothers. From A. Roman & Go.
This is new novel, exhibiting different
phases of English society, especially among
the higher classes. 1t is written by lady
belonging to the most aristocratic circles,
and who is well qualified to describe scenes
and characters, the counterpart of which
she has so often met. Lady Tremyrs, the
principal character of the book, is singu-
lar woman, whose life is enveloped in a
mystery which it is one of the principal
motives Of the book to clear away. The
story contains the usual amount of crime,
intrigue, and various horrors, but after all
will be very entertaining to certain class
of readers whose minds crave such nourish-
ment.

26l. Boston James R. Osgood & Co.
From A. L. Bancroft & Co.
This is volume first of "Our Young
Yachters' Series," is handsomely bound in
blue and gilt, and contains eight fuIl-page
illustrations. The first chapter, showing
How the thing started" tells in a most
amusing manner of one of our peculiarly
national institutions-a railroad smash-up,"
by meaus of which several fellows became
acquainted with each other, and afterward
went on an expedition together into the
wilds of Maine, an account of which it is
the purpose of the book to narrate. We
predict that the story will find great favor
with the boys. --.-.-

This is the second volume of the series
we have mentioned above, contains much
information, and is of equal interest with
Camping Out" In the Introduction, the
editor says: "Of the plan of self education
adopted and acted upon by these young
gentlemen we may remark, that it is singu-
larly bold and original in its conception. If
persevered in, we have no doubt that the re-
suit will fully justify their expectations
Unless we are much mistaken, it will be, as
they modestly hope, pioneer movement,
looking to a much needed revolution in the
present sedentary programme Of collegiate
study"
KEEL AND SADDLE. By Joseph w. Re-

R. Osgood & Co. From Al. Bancroft
& Co.
This book is the sketch of life filed
with stirring experiences and romantic ad-
ventures. The author tells his story in
modest, attractive manner entirely reliev-
ing his narrative of that sensational air
which permeates so many of our recent
books of travel Entering the United
States naval service at the age OF fourteen,
the writer never abandoned "predilection
for foreign travel which those early days OF
sea-roving engendered, and for over forty
years his life has been spent in drifting up
and down the earth. Few intelligent men
have had wider fields of observation and
experience, and few have succeeded so ad-
mirably in telling the tale of their wander
ings. Every page of the book is replete
with information and the interest which
the reader unconsciously acquires in the
narrator, makes its perusal double pleas

BURaLARIRs AT WHoLRsALR.-A cou-
pie Of burglars went into bushes in
the Wholesale way. on the Island, be-
tween twelve and one o'clock Saturday
night. We have heard of five bouses
visited by them there.
At about halt.past nine o'clock two
men visited the residence of the late
Thomas Pollock, aud one of them at
tempted 10 get in. While at work at
the keyhoIe, he heard some one com.
ing and boldly knocked at the door and
made some inquiries about o Mr..
Bags"
Between twelve and one o'clock they
visited the residence OF Joseph Wood
ward and stole gold watch valued at
$500, and a pocketbook containing
SCI. The watch and money were
etolen from the bedroom and the pock-
etbook was found in the entry down
stairs.
They also paid visit to the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Campbell, from whom
they stole $50 10 cash.
At the residence OF Fl. Shriver, they
got about one dollar in change.
They went also to the house Of COM
stable Dick" Richardson, but before
they made capture Of anything, Mrs.
Richardson awoke and gave the alarm.
Officer Richardson and his son loaded
their ehot guns and started after them.
"Dick" coming towards the suspension
bridge and his son towards Back river
bridge. Young Richardson came
across the two rascals and banged away
at them with his shotgun. They made
their escape across Back river bridge
and up the Cleveland and Pittsburgh
Railroad.
They are described as being slim
men Of five feet eight or nine inches in
height, both wearing plug" hats, and
very genteelly dressed. The one seen
by Mrs. Richardson wore neither wits
kers nor moustache. Mr.. Woodward,
in another column, offers reward Tor
the return OF his watch, promising to
ask no questions. AS the fellow who
stoe it can get mere money for it than
he can at pawnbroker's; it is not un-
likely that Mr.. W. may recover his
property.

No BETTER INDUCEMENTS were ever
offered to the musical people than
those given at Sheib's music store, on
Twelfth, under Washington Hall. Mr..
Sh.ibs prices are always lower than
those of other dealers, and are reduced
far below the former low rates. As
for quality, Mr.. S. refers to hundreds
OF his customers who have his Organs
and Piauos in use; and his known rep
utation for fair dealing would not per-
nit the sale OF a single inferior instru-
ment, which his long experience (near-
ly tpenty years. enables him to be e
thorough judge of. The prices are low
either for cash or on the Renting Plan,
and no one need be without a musical
instrument nowadays. Go to Sheib's
before you buy elsewhere and compare
prices and quality.
