versal CyclOpedia.

We have heretofore referred to this
work, and would now add the follow
ing testimonials from gcntlemea who
have given it a thorough examination
and are fully competent to judge OF
it's merits:
After having spent some time in
examining the contents of the first
volume, comparing many of its articles
with those on the same subjects in tour
other cyclopedias, am forced to the
conclusion that for accuracy, complete
ness. taste and scholarship. it is not
surpassed by any work of the kind.
Its publication must be hailed with
satisfaction by all scholars who learn
its intrinsic worth, and must be ac-
knowledge an invaluable treasury Of
information for all who would seek
and EnO,C. 1t is a perfect library in
itself. 1T is marvellous how so much
knowledge could be so ably prepared,
carefully compiled and neatly present
ed in four volumes for so small a sum
of money. 1t is q fund of knowledge
placed within the reach of the mass.
1t would seem that almost every la
boring man could afford to purchase
the work. No home ouyht tn be ,cith-
out it. Let the young be educated to
make daily use OF it, anu they cannot
fail to grow i'm wisdom and extern
sive learning, for it furnishes the best
products Of the best minds.

cheerfully give you an order for one

guaranty OF its WORTH. In comparing
it with APpleion's -Tmeyicon Cyclope-
dtd find that it is far more exhaust

features in this work that are interest

one carefully examining the maps OF

ON Saturday evening last, Mr.. j. S.
Smith, for the past ten years one Of
the leading merchants and most enter
prising business men of Ravenna,
made an assignment of his effects to
M. Stuart, Esq, for the benefit of his
creditors. What are the amount of
liabilities and assets we are unable to
state. Mr.. S. has been forced 10 take
this step through a misapprehension
and erroneous report as to the extent
of his liabilities. We sincerely regret
the circumstances and express the
hope which we know is entertained
by his very many friepda, that be will
succeed in making such arrangements
as will enable him to resume business
at an carly day.
