After we get fire engine, another
pike or two, and mandatory or two,
we ought to have a nice little park in
which to loaf during the sultry after
Moons in summer, and hold political and
other meetings in. The Inhabitants of
cities pay large sums annually to keep
their Parks in fine condition, and have a
just pride in them; and when the rural
lists journeys to the city, about the first
thing he thinks of visiting is park,
thus evincing his appreciation of-the
beauty and desirableness of such a re-
sort Now, it wouldn't cost very
great sum of money to organize a park
on a small scale in Somerset. We
wouldn't need to send off for sparrows
and other "furren" birds, or lop-eared
rabbits, with which to ornament it, be-
cause we have in our midst birds and
animals indigenous, as it were, to our
country, which far surpass anything
that can be drummed up abroad for
this purpose. OF our feathered tribes
enough would Immediately take up their
abode in our park if we held out proper
inducements to them i'll the way of pro-
viding them with rustic homes; and as
to grey squirrels, groundstadgers, rab-
bits, coons, foxes, 'possums, snakes and
the like, they can at all times be had for
the going after. But we don't know
that we need make Zoology special
feature of the park. Even a small col
lection of animals of the kind named
and for park purposes they should be
somewhat tamed-might arouse the Sc
rious curiosity of our village dogs, and
prompt them to make frequent incursions
into the park, with the sole purpose of
exterminating the natural history curl
osities, thereby causing extra vigilance
on the part of the person whose duty it
should be to hang around the park and
keep things in shape. The Geological
feature need not be made prominent
one. But we would favor proper effort
to make the ornithological department
first class. We should think ten or ff-
teen acres-perhaps less-would be suf-
cient ground. Once set with lawn grass,
the hay which the amount of ground
would yield would about pay the expen-
ses of keeping up the institution. OF
course we would, in a measure, have to
depend upon the iberality of those OF
our citizens conspicuous for their love OF
aesthetics, for suitable works of art
with which the resort should be provi-
ded, and we have no doubt that in due
course of time we would have in it the
most varied and amazing collection oi
art subjects on the continent. We feel
quite certain we could depend upon our
friend Captain Greiner to start the thing
off by gift of his famous Indian quiy-
er and arrows. At all events it will do
no harm to weigh the matter. Perhaps
little serious individual reflection may
bring about united opinion of our cit
izens, and eventually result in securing
this disideratum to our village. AS a
community we ought to do something
in this direction, so that we may beat
Lexington, the authorities whereof are
striving to have erected in their streets
monuments, etc.

Appleton's Journal for 1874.

Appleton's journal will henceforth be
enlarged to the extent Of four more pages
of reading. The Journal has always
contained a larger quantity of reading
matter than any other periodical of its
class, and this addition renders it the
cheapest literary periodical in the coun-
try. Appleton's Journal gives, in a
Weekly form, all the features Of month
ly magazine. Its weekly issue brings it
more frequent visitor to the family
than l. the case with a monthly periodi-
ical, while, in the course Of the year, a
much greater aggregate and n larger va
riety Of papers are furnished than are
gwen in any of the regular monthlies.
But, for those who prefer it, the Journal
is put up in Monthly Parts and in this
form its scope and variety, as compared
with other magazines, become conspicu-
ously apparent.
Appleton's Journal will continue to
present healthful, sound, instructive, and
entertaining literature. 1t will confine
itself az rule to one serial nouel at a time;
it will contain the best short stories at
tainable; it will give picturesque des-
criptions of places, and stirring narra-
tives of travel and adventure; ii will
have entertaining papers upon various
subjects that pertain to the pursuits and
reereations of the people; it will give
portraits and sketches of persons distin-
guished in various walks of life; will
present lively, social sketches, having in
special view those things the knowledge
of which will contribute TO the welfare
and happiness of the household; it will
describe phases of life in all quarters of
the globe; it will discuss the important
events of the time, and the advances
made in art, literature, and science; it
will endeavor to reflect the ideas, move
ments, and development of society; and,
while hoping to enlighten, will strenu-
usly aim to entertain, with large abund-
ance of material, all who resort to its
pages for intellectual pleasure. Illus
tration will be used sufficiently to give
variety and animation to its pages; but
the aim viii be to make it rather jour
nal of popular high-class literature than
merely a vehicle for pictures In carry
ing out this programme, the editors will
have the aid Of the ablezt writers pro-
durable.
