ZelIs pOuuIar Il ucycIoDpdia

OF the revised edition OF Zelrs Popular En-
cyclopeda and Universal Di ,tonary, eight
numbers are now out, bringing the topics
down to "Robert Blake" OF the first four
numbers we spoke at length, and these later
four sustain the ecomiums then passed upon the
work. Ali the matters of current interest
touched upon are SO far as needful in their
treatment brought down to thu present year, so
the undertaking may not be inaptly described
as the Centennial Cyclopedia. The revised edi-
ton is issued in Ga parts of 40 pages each. The
obvious advantage which it posse sses over other
cyclopedias is its compact form, it being COM
plete in two volumes of about $500 pages No
material information is sacrificed to obtain
this compactness, for by peculiar arrange
ment of type, by the excelsior of all useless
matter, and by carefully avoiding to repeat the
same information under different heads, the
substance of the knowledge given in more
cumbrous works is conveyed. The two vol
umes contain 100000 articles, embellished with
IL fine maps and nearly 5000 engravings.
While many articles are quite long and elabor.
ate the majority owe their value to the fact
that in their condensed form they omit no i'm
portant particulars or newly discovered facts.
Thus the reader is able to obtain at glance in
formation requiring extensive research else
where. The work in fact saves consulting
other volumes than cyclopedias for it combines
with the general cyclopeda dictionary of
language, complete gazetteer, biographical
dictionary, church history, complete work
on botany and the other sciences, and man
ual of the arts 1t is in fact library in itself,
and work in which every point of Informal
ton can be readily found. Those who have
had the labor of consulting dozen volumes in
search of information will appreciate this fea-
ture, and those whose book cases are limited
will find it just the work for their scanty shelves.
The work is issued in Philadelphia. The
general agent for the Eastern states is Horace
King of Thompsonville, Connecticut, by whom
specimen copies will be sent to any address on
the receipt of 20 cents. The agent for this vi
cinity is Mr.. N. B. Medberg, whose office is
Room 2, No. g. Exchange street. Mr.. Med
berg is prepared to deliver the work at the rate
of two numbers month, or he will deliver one
number week if desired

THE PENSION FRAUDS.
The Conviction of George HI. Lewis
Mol Pros Entered in the Case of Mrs.
Jane Lewis.

The pension fraud cases were continued in
the U. S. District Court yesterday morning
before Judge Fox.
At the coming in of the court in the forenoon
District Attorney Webb stated that some time
prior to the commencement of these cases he
had placed subpoena in the hands of the
marshal for the summons of several witnesses,
among whom was Jones Eldridgo of Clinton,
and that not until today had the marshal been
able to serve the process. AS he deemed the
testimony of this witness of importance to the
government, he asked the court to allow him
now to introduce Eldridge.
Mr. Reed objected, but the court said that
inasmuch as the District Attorney had used
diligence in endeavoring to obtain the witness,
and had failed until now, he would allow him
to testify, and also allow the defence time to
procure rebutting testimony, if they desired it
after hearing the evidence.
Jones Eldredge was then called, and testified
that he lived at Clinton, and was the son of
Aaron Eldredge; that in August or September,
he was riding with Geo. H. Lewis, and Lewis
called at N. W. Randall's, but Randall was not
at home. Lewis told the witness that his
mother was getting pension. On the same
day, and soon after, they met Randall in the
road, and Lewis asked him if he thought it
would come. Randall said he thought it
would, as widow Nelson's had come all right.
Witness thought he said "widow Nelson's pen
sion had come all right, and he thought his
mothers would" After leaving Randall,
Lewis said, Randall is rascal; the way he got
signers, he took two papers and represented
widow Nelson's and they signed his mothers
papers thinking they we're the widow Nelson s
papers,
On cross-examination by Mr.. Reed, Eldridge
said he was here at the time his father was first
brought down, and at that time told Mr.. Webb
about their conversation. He told it as it was.
Did not recolect whether his father asked him
this morning whether the word "pension" was
used or not.
In answer to question by the court, the
witness stated positively that the conversation
was as he now relates it.
Here Mr.. Reed informed the court that the
witness he expected, Mr.. E. r. Drummond of
Waterville, had telegraphed to him that the
trustees were unwilling to have him leave the
bank without summons, and he wonld not
asked for further delay, and commenced his
closing argument.
Mr. Webb stated that owing to the extreme
age of one of the defendants on trial, Mrs.
Jane Lewis. who was nearly four score, and
whom if she were to plead guilty, he should
not think of asking sentence upon, he
would at this stage of the case enter mol pros
in her case, which action Judge Fox approved.
Mr. Webb then made his closinp argument
In the afternoon the Judge charged the jury
and they retired at half-past o'clock.
The jury were out but half an hour and re-
turned verdict of guilty. This disposes of
this lot of cases.

MODEL SEED SToRE.-The annual catalogue
of Kendall & Whitney's establishment for the
sale of seeds and agricultural implements,
presents in attractive form, profusely illus
trated, the leading features of their trade which
steadily enlarges from year to year. A visit
to their warehouse in Market Square gives an
extended idea of the magnitude of the branch
of trade in which they are concerned. In the
seed department, it is interesting to learn that
the flower and vegetable seeds come principal
ly from England. The west furnishes most of
the herdsgrass, and New York most of the
clover seeds. Seed peas are both raised in this
country and imported from England. A fea-
ture of the English peas is their cleanness
from dust, the English having some process for
cleaning them, which has not yet been adopted
in this country. Seeds are sent from this firm
to farmers of the state for the purpose of rails.
ing seeds to be sent to the Middle States.
Another department of the business is the
wooden ware. The baskets, of which there are
many kinds are manufactured in small guam
titles in various parts of the state, and the
basket makers dicker them at the country
stores whence they find their way to the agri-
cultural warehouse. Skowhegan, Windham
and Newfeld send many baskets to Portland.
part of the wooden ware kept for sale by this
firm, such as tubs, pals, boxes for seeds, are
made at their mandatory at Duck Pond in
Westbrook Recently added to the stock are
steel plows of the Frye and the Hussey manu-
facture, and the four tined pitch forks of the
Batcheller Brothers of Wallingford vt. There
is a large assortment of bird cages, and stone
ware, hanging baskets, most Of the latter being
of the manufacture of the Portland Stone
ware Company and exhibiting much excellence
of workmanship and beauty of tint.

MARROW EsCAPE.-Just about dark last eve
ming Capt. Oliver, who was on the steamer
Express, heard man calling for help in the
harbor just off Central wharf. In the storm
be was only able to see dark spot on the wa
ter, but it took but short time for him to get
under way in the direction from which the cries
proceeded. After forcing his way through the
floating ice which now fills the harbor, he found
two men in dory who were unable to move
The ice was not strong enough to hold them,
and it was impossible for them to push the dory
through it. They had started to cross the har-
Dor, but were caught in the ice where Capt
Oliver found them. They were taken ashore
and kindly cared for. But for the timely aid
of Capt Oliver they would have been COM
PEELED to remain where found all night. Out
in dory, such night as last night. is not q
thing to be desired.
