IELI'S UNIVERSAL ENCYCLOPEDIA.
The second installment, consisting
Of four numbers of the new revised
edition Of this valuable work, has
Just been received. Most, If not all
of our readers. remember that this
work was issued, Few years ago, in
fifty-six monthly numbers at the low
price Of fifty cents each, affording to
subscribers an opportunity to take
and pay for it in such a way that it
would hardly be felt. The same plan
is pursued with the revised edition,
although it may be also purchased in
any style of binding, and in two or
four volumes. Either way it is much
cheaper than any similar book.
In point OF fact, however, mono Of
the cyclopedias now offered to the
public are similar to this one. While
Iells keep even with them all In the
historical, biographical, geographical
and scientific features common to
such works, it also goes further and
makes of itself complete pronounc-
ing dictionary, which none of the
rest attempt.
The new edition Of Zell contains
Is beautiful maps, 5000 illustrations
and treats 10000 subjects. In COM
prehensiyeness, scope and arrange
ment, it will be difficult to excel it.
Subscribe soon, while the plates are
new and the impressions clear.

CONCERT S ATuRpAy EvE.-The
concert at the City Hall last Satur-
evening was quite we'll attended and
was generally and very deservedly
as we think, pronounced very in
teresting aud successful entertain.
ment, The singing of the Mess. Camp
and Mr.. Harmer. of Mt. Vernon, was
particularly compimented, the gen
tlemen being twice rccslled by vocif-
erous and continued applause. These
gentlemen are accomplished vocalis's
and there are few OF the travelling
troupes of professional singers who
can offer an audience better enter
tainment than they,
Only one complaint could be made
against the performance, and we re-
fer to that not with any desire to carp
or cavil, but because it has been
common fault with our amateur con-
certs which we hope will be avoided
in the future to the, great relief Of
Upton audiences. The programme
was a whole hour too long. Those
who manage such affairs, and would
have them perfectly successful, must
learn to make up their programmes
with view to pleasing the audience
instead of the performers, even if
Angelica and Christophanus do fail
to appear quite SO frequently as Ser
aphina and Johannes.
But as indicated before, the con
cert as a whole, was success, and
resulted in an addition to the treas
ury of the ladies' Society, under
whose auspices it was given of some
forty dollars.

ST. Nicholas FOR MAY. With its
May number, ST.. NICHOLAS begins a
new serial story, "The Cat and the
Countess" translated from the
French by the Thomas Bailey Aldrich.
and illustrated with silhouettes by
Hopkins. The first installment in
troduces the principal characters in
a series of striking incidents, and
contains no less thon thirty-six COM
ical Silhouette drawings. Indeed, the
illustrations to this story are a novel
and stirring feature for ST. NICHOLAS,
and can hardly fail to make sensa-
,ion among the boys and girls.
AS for miscellaneous attractions,
the large number Of them forbds
even the mention Of all; but among
the first are Mrs. Oliphant's second
paper on "Windsor Castle" Susan

IMPROVEMENT of various kinds
has been noted as very common In
Upton this Spring, but nowhere do
we know of more prominent instance
than the old Starr property, just
south east OF the depot. Mr.. John
II. Richer, having sold his fine resi-
dence in the North part Of town to
l.. d. Ingman, purchased the Starr
block for s., ,035, and already it be-
gins to look like new place. The
location was selected by John +.
Cook when all Upton was open to
choice, and it is probably the most
handsome sweep of ground for a
residence in the place. Mr.. Cook al
so erected for his own occupancy the
large dwelling, which though need
ing many changes and repairs to
bring it up to modern ideas, stands
firm and strong with its ld-fashioned
frame and oak floors as the day il
was built.
Mr.. Reichert will find room on the
rear Of the block, which lies directly
along the railway track, for a very
convenient and oommodious lumber
yard and when he gets finally straight
ened around will be most completely
at home in his new quarters.

A Curious TALE comes from
Clarence about rough looking char
aoter whom Marshal Murphy arrest
ed late last Saturday night upon
suspicion aroused by the strangers
attempting to sell lot of new cutlery
knives and razors-at ruinous
price. Arrest was made in the
saloon and the prisoner went out with
the Marshal, drew a revolver, fired
and ran. He was pursued by num-
Der of those present, and being hard
ly pressed by John Cosgrove, fred
two shots at that individual, who
about this time caught him, snatched
away the weapon and knocking him
down pounded him in the head with
the muzzle until the rest came up
and took him off. The prisoner was
then carried groaning to the Gala
bo0Se ana lett there, more dead than
alive, it was supposed. The Mar,
shall visited him at two o'clock and
found him lying where he had been
placed, hardly conscious. Coming
again at FIVE, he found the lock bro
ken, the door open and the bird
flown. The Marshal AYERS that the
man was too badly hurt to 60 far and
must be lying dead around there
some where, theory supported by
the statement that the pistol barrel
was literally jammed full of hair,
flesh, blood and bones--but at this
distance the affair looks like a good
case Of possuming and an active
confederate.

DISTRICT COURT .--I 1vernOr Kirk
woods appointec to the bench of
this District, Judge John Shane of
Vinton, took his seat in the court for
this county the first time last Mon
day. And it is bat fair to add that
here, as in other counties where he
has officiatcd, no one has aught to
say but in praise and commendation.
The other officers of court were all
present, including Mr.. Burr, the
lively reporter.
Not a great deal of business was
so disposed as to enable report here
with. Among the State cases, two
against Geo. Willer for obstructing
highway were dismissed at cost OF
deft. The assault case against VIM.
Hoyman was also formally dismissed.
Andrew Burns was released from
bonds to keep peace upon payment
Of costs. State vs.. Claus Bischotf,
appeal from Justice Agnew Of In
land, was dismissed at cost of State,
there being no cause of action
against deft., who it appeared had
merely picked up a spring seat which
he found beside the road and took it
honc under the impression that it
was lost. Although he was perfect
ly willing to let the owner have the
seat, when he afterwards appeared
to claim it, he was arrested for steal
ing it because he wasn't willing to
pay so damages.
At this writing, Tuesday evening,
the case of the State VS.. Richard
kinnsn, charged with resisting an
officer, is occupying the attention Of
bench, bar and jury and the minutes
lengthen into hours as it drags its
slow length along. The more one
hears of the testimony the more they
are filled with wonder that the Grand
Jury should send such trning mat
ter to occupy the valuable time of
the court, and in more senses than
one we are reminded Of the old
adage,
"Great streams from little streamlets iow"
Then there is the johnson case"
as it is called, an important trial
brought here by change from Jones
county, in which is involved no less
serious question than the good re-
pute of well known citizen who is
charged with cattle stealing. Some
forty or fifty witnesses in this case
alone arrived Tuesday, and are still
here.
The Grand Jury, up to Wednesday
evening, had returned three indict.
ments. George Hawkins and Henry
Comstock, indicted for rape, plead
not guilty. VIM. Carl, indicted for
stealing Kelly's horse, and Heron,
for stealing the watch at Wilkinsol's,
both plead guilty--sentence being
reserved.
