The plan on which Harrison & Warner
contemplate publishing an atlas Of Tama
county, is the best that has ever been
devised and must meet the hearty appro-
val Of all who give it a moments care
full attention. These gentlemen have
published maps Of a number OF counties
in this and other States, and should they
receive the necessary assistance, and
encouragement in our county they Will
produce work that will soon become
a necessity to our citizens. The Madison
(Wis) Democrat says Of one of their COM
pleted aliases:
eMessrs. Harrison & Warner are now
delivering their Dane county atlas. 1t IS
but justice to say, that although these
gentlemen promised an excellent work,
nevertheless, they have surprised every
one by the superiority of the atlas; 1t is
the completest thing of the kind ever
gotten out and is giving the utmost salts

that they are legally responsible for the

ployed in the cloak, each skin being es-
timated at 800 francs. But this is faI
from coming up to the value of the fun

Russia, which, consisting of blue fox, q
most rare and valuable fur, is worth up

Patti, the Marquise de Caux, received
as a present from the Emperor Alexan-

value of $4,000 francs. This may be
said to sing to some purpose. The
