at is fitting" says charming DR.. Dibdin
in his Library Companion" "that | should
"caution the Collector in the very outset of
" his book-career, not to be led away by any
"Of those meteOr-like manias which sometimes
"possess very intelligent men, and bring dis
grace upon the good old cause of BIBLI-
"OPHILIsM Especially let him beware of con-
filming himself exclusively or imperativey
"of sacrificing all his time and attention, his
crest, and, as it were, comfort of mind, to
cone distinguishing or capricious branch of
"collectiOn more than another; because the
"most prudent of men can scarcely re-
frain from committing many errors in
"the indulgence of such passion" The
buying of library, according to the reverend
Doctor, is pursuit which involves religion,
patriotism, public and private happiness, pure
"and fixed principles of taste, and intellectual
"refinement of the most exalted kind" and it
is to be carried on with an enthusiasm tenn
pered and restrained by judgment-unless in
decd "a reyy choice, or curious, or supposed
"unioue article presents ITSELF" whenit is proper
for the bidder to /" screw courage to its stick
cling place." cast aside parsimOny that borders
upon avarice, and defy competitors. The care
less spectator who should stray into the auction
rooms this week to watch the dispersal of the
Field library under the hammer, might be
tempted to imagine that while the proprietor
of that remarkable collection had set small
store by the old bibliOphilist's advice against
an exclusive devotion to one branch of litera-
ture, he had certainly followed his counsel to
buy boldly whenever he got upon the trace of
a great rarity. With few unimpOrtant ex-
ceptiOns, the whole library relates to the early
history of America or to the American Indians
but though the subject is thus limited, the
number of costly gems which MIR. Field
has brought together is indeed amazing. Far
be it from us to intimate that some of
the shabby little volumes for whose pos
session bbliOmanacs are wont to contend
derive their sole value from the fact that no.
body ever heard of them before, or that all
other copies of them have been lost, destroyed,
used for curl papers, literally read to pieces at
farm house fire-sides, or locked up in great
libraries. The meanest of these dead books,
though worth little for its style or subject
matter, may have. Historical value, and is GER
tainly not without curious and even profitable
interest Like the fragments of common do
nestle utensils, gnawed bones, and heaps of
kitchen refuse which have led to such impor-
tant discoveries respecting the prehistoric in
inhabitants of Europe, these stray bits of
forgotten literature have often hidden sig
niicance entirely disproportionate to their in
trinsic worth.
The department of knowledge in which Mr..
Field pursued his labors offers some special
attractions to the genuine collector. Not to
speak of the splendid opportunity for the cxcr-
else Of taste, learning, industry, and minute
and paticnt research in gathering the works Of

IL something altogether unexpected and sur
prisng. We suppose that it cannot seriously
embarrass the Company, and yet, If it cannot
borrow while, money goes a-begging in wall
st. at 2is per cent, when can it borrow !
A little moro attention to the just demands OF
the public, and little less resistance to
legitimate efforts like that to rid our streets OF
the telegraph poles, would pay better in the
long run, though even that would probably
have no present effect upon the facility OF
making loans.

How Two Men Caught a Horse Thief.

A good story is told at the expense of
driver in the employ of Mr.. Quinn of Rut-
land. 1t will be remembered that the de-
tectives in this city found a strange man
attempting TO sell horse on Hoosick street
some time ago. He was arrested and failed
to give good account of himself, and was
locked up. The horse was soon found to
be the property of Mr. Quinn of Rutland,
and the fellow a thief. The owner was
notified and came to Troy to identify his
property. 1t was delivered over to him.
He brought driver with HIM and after re-
covering the horse sent it home by his man.
Just after the robbery, handbills had been
issued announcing the fact and giving
clear description of the stolen property.
Some of the bills reached Salem, Washing
ton county, and farmers and others kept
an eye on strange horses. When Mr..
Quinn's driver passed through that town
on his way home the horse was recognized
from the description on the handbills, and
the driver supposed to be the thief. Now
remember that there was a reward for the
arrest of the thief, and after the driver had
been gone from the village some time and
had Travelled about ten miles he was over
taken by two men in a carriage from
Salem, They called him horse thief and
demanded the return of the stolen prop
erty. 1t took some time tor the driver to
explain matters and the two men went
home looking and feeling quite blue. So
says tho Troy Press.

agement. The marked success of Mrs.
Oliver during the past spring season with
the Urso troupe has led the manager Of
that company to make her very tempt
ing and complimentary offer for their next
tour and she has accepted a re-engagement
with the Camilla Urso concert company for
the fall and winter season of 1875 and 1876
The other vocalists of the recognized CON-
pany will be new with this troupe. 1t Is
the intention of the management that the
company of this coming season shall be
finer as whole than of any preceding
year. A contralto will be added, making
a full vocal quaitette Of solo artists. While
the usual number of solos will be heard IN
every performance they will add to their
programme at least two numbers of con-
cer;ed music which as rendered by this
company must necessarily prove a very
enjoyable feature Of their concerts.

The School Lands in Mount Holly.

In yonr issue of Monday, Aug. 9th, we
notice i'll connection with Vermont
School Lands" that Mount Holly, Castle
ION and Clarendon report no income from
such lands, and followed by the remark
that leach of these towns must have lands
which should be reported" A statement
of the facts will explain why Mount Holly
makes no report. This was not an origi-
nal town but was made up from parts of
Ludlow and Walingford and the whole of
Jackson's Gore. On the part taken from
Wallingford there were "school lands but
that town reserved the income of the land
for herself $50 long as wood grows and
water runs" So it will be seen that Mount
Holly, though having an abundance of
school lands within her borders, has no in
come from the same to apply in her name.
This accounts for Wallingford standing
third IN the list with 80 large an income.

The New York TRIBUNE of Saturday,
Aug. Z, is remarkable issue, even for that
journal, and very completely illustrates its
claim to be 'the leading American news
paper" In addition to all the ordinary and
extraordinary news of the day from all
parts of the world, it publishes letters and
special articles from Charles Reade, who
treats of international copyright from
Bayard Taylor on Cape Cod scenes and
life {; from the Rev. DR.. John Hall on the
American evangelists, Moody and Sankey;
from Mr.. T. Adolphous Trollope on the
Italian Parliament from Arsene Hous-
save on Life in Paris from John Paul"
at Saratoga on finance and other topics,
and from its special correspondent with
the Powell Western exploring expedition.
Such an array of brilliant names and talent
has rarely if ever been gathered in any
single publication, and never in the col
umns of any daily newspaper. Readers
of the Tribune enjoy Il daily miracle,
which places such wealth of treasure at
their command for the nominal sum of
four cents, or one dollar month-postage
paid.
