Book Notice.

REvTEW.-The complete Poetical works OF
John Greenleaf Whittier, Centennial edi-
ton.
One OF our eriteria for the estimate OF
American literature is the canon that the
more thoroughly American it is the better
we like it-indeed we are disposed to carry
our canon to this extreme that ifthe writer
be New England man, he cannot be too
characterIstically Yankee; we want the
yankee shrewdIess, the yankee ruggedness
OF stern unyielding rectitude, and not only
these but like to see vigorous cropping
out of yankee prejudices and animosIties-
provided all be interfused with a warm
glow of universal love as we recognize to
be the case in three of the most character
istic writers of that section, Hawthorn,
Whittier and Lowell.
These sentiments are elected by the re-
ception Of the new edition of Whittier's
works above designated It was long since
we had looked into any poem of his, and of
those which were written during and since
the war we were entirely ignorant-let us
acknowledge the fact that this ignorance
was of malice prepense, the war had not pre-
disposed us in favor of New England liter
ature-but tits the centen NAL year, and we
have swallowed 1t down, abolitionism and
all and like him best where his antagonism
TO the South is the most pronounced.
There is an honest, whole-hearted hate
about him that is akin to love; his hate is
anger that one dark cause ofenmity should
interpose where else brothers love was
the instinct of nature, and when we COM
pare his honest wrath with the cold-blood-
ed spite of those who took up abolitionism
when it became profitable, and kept old
wounds fostering because, vermin as they
were, there was nutriment for them in
their fostering excretions, by the very con-
trast we love him and would not have him
other than he is.
The price OF the work considering the
beauty of the type, paper and illustrations
is wonderfully small and we cannot help
thinking that our GAINESVILLE booksellers
would find many customers if they would
make a large importation, not of this work
only, but of the corresponding centennial
editions of Longfellow and Tennyson.
Since writing the above Messrs. Owen &
Moore, inform us that they have ordered
copies OF the work and viii soon have them
on hand.

HOME AND SCHooL.-We rejoice to
see that publishers and manufacturers
of school material in the Middle and
Eastern states recognize the enviable
position Home and School has won
among educational journals il most
substantial way, 4. e., by advertising init.
There are nearly thirty pages of ad-
vertisements in this number. But the
editor of Home and School does not
permit this to interfere with the read
ing matter, for he gives us the usual
quantity, forty-eight pages, and of a
quality slightly above even the high
standard he has set for his magazine,
it seems to us. We think there is
published no cheaper magazine than
Home and School, and we know there
is no better one. Send $3.50 to the
publishers at Louisville, KY, for a
years subscription.

REV. B. NJ. PALMER, of New Or
leans, preached two very able and log
ical sermons at Franklin Hall last
Sabbath-morning and night-to very
large audiences. He is one of the
best speakers we ever heard. The pc
culiar character of his eloquence de-
ponds upon the union of consummate
logical powers with an intense force of
expression, which impresses his own
individuality on the doctrines he
breaches in such way as to make the
hearer feel that they come direct from
the convictions of the preacher; the
doctrines are those of the Presbyterian
church according to the strictest inter-
probation of its theological standards.
He stands at the head of the list of
the many able divines of his denomi-
nation.

FINE SHEEP.-A large sale of sheep
by the Peytonia Importing company,
at Bagdad, KY, came off ON the 31st
inst. Sixty odd head of pure, imported
Cotswold sheep were disposed Of Mr..
Chiles 7. Barker, of Christian county,
bought two-year old eve for $50, and
ayearling buck for $40 This stock was
bred in Ontario, Canada, and the prices
did not prove remunerative to the
owners. We are truly glad to see that
SO many of the best farmers are turn
ing their attention to buying and breed
ing pure stock, as we feel assured that
they will be amply compensated for
their trouble.

THATindefatigable specimen ofman-
hood, Col. I. d. Leonard, has returned
from trip to the counties of Dyer, Obi
on, etc., in West Tennessee, as agent for
the sale of plows made here by the
Southern Agricultural Works. He
succeeded in securing many orders
many of them large ones-for these
justly celebrated plows. The Col. was
kindly. received and entertained by that
handsome editor, Tom. Neal, of the
Gazette, and Mr.. Thomas, of the Pro-
gress and others. He speaks in praise
of these gentlemen, fully approaching
their courtesies. The protracted hunt
he had about the close of a sultry day
for place to stay all night was another
romance in the history ofhis travels. He
has travelled extensively, and can work
his way through difficulties equal to
any man on the continent. He applied
at four different places before he sue
eeeded in procuring entertainment
the answer being my vile is sick I
cannot take you in" After fighting
his way over bridges and through mus
quitoes he hailed where hesaw a glim-
mering light, and was taken i'm and
kindly cared for. He says the mus
quitoes in that county are so thick in
some places that you can drive a nail
in them and hang up your hat. We
are glad to welcome his return, and
hope he may live just as long as he
wants to, provided he remains in this
vicinity, where his worth as man and
citizen is fully appreciated.

Mr.. B. has been connected with the
gas works here, in various capacities,
for a quarter of a century. In the

Morton's Mississippi investigating
committee is bringing forth certain
facts about affairs in that State which
will make the war governor regret that
his bubbling fanaticism ever led him
to demand an investigation. Instead
ofshowing white league" crimes, Nor
toms own witnesses are showing up the
rascality of Ames and his gang. Three
witnesses, all Republicans, have testi-
fed under oath that Ames advised
among the negroes against the Whites,
on the ground that it made no differ
ence whether twenty or thirty of the
former were killed. as it would result
to the benefit of the Republican par
ty." That is the kind of 'friend Of
the colored man" Ames is shown to
be, and he is Endorsed by Morton in a
very enthusiastic manner.-Courier-
Journal.

Mrs. MARY A. ROBERTS, wife of
Mr.. c. II. Roberts, of this county,
has gone with her afflicted daughter,
Fannie, to Ottumwa, Iowa, for treat
ment. We have known this little suffer
err from infancy and would heartily re-
ioice to announce her return and re-
storation from the sore affection un-
der which she has labored. The un-
ceasiug attention and heartfelt solicit
tude of her devoted parents has never
waned, and now they resort to the OF
tumwa infrmary, which we hope may
prove beneficial to her.

The Price Of Gas Reduced.

We are glad to note change in the
management of the gas works. Mr.. 7.
G. Hopper of Philadelphia, took pos
session Of the works on the first Of this
month, and has sent Mr.. E. Brennan,
who for fifteen years has been Super
intendent of the gas works at Urbana.
Ohio, to take charge of the works
here. Mr. Brennan comes among US
highly recommended. The Urbana
papers speak in such words of COM
mendation of him, and regrets at his
leaving them, that we have taken the
liberty of inserting in another column
some extracts from them in regard to
his removal. Mr.. Brennan under Mr..
Hopper's orders, commences at once
to thoroughly repair and put the works
in perfect order and condition, and
will give our citizens IN short time,
such gas as cannot be surpassed in
quality anywhere, aud at four dollars
per thousand feet-what it was supplied
at before the war. He is further de-
termined if the patronage becomes
sufficiently large to justify him in doing
it, to reduce the price to the very low
est point. All meters will be over
hauled and tested. and replaced by
those that register perfectly and ac-
curately. Indeed everything will be
done to make the works complete and
satisfactory to consumers. All these
improvements will require large out
lay, and we hope our citizens and the
city authorities will give Mr.. Hopper
all the encouragement that so import
ant an enterprise to our city deserves.
