theresy, Gen. Hawley having an
nounced that no book has any right
to such claim. 1t describes briefly
the inception and growth of this
grand enterprise, but mainly the
wonderful exhibits Of the Nations OF
the New and Old World, showing
their different peculiarities, values,
euriosities of mechanism, &c., and
contrasting them one with the
other.
But the interest and value If the
book lie largely in its profufs and
brillirnt illustral ions. In this nul-
titude OF varied engravings the ..lin
ieatures of the Exhibition are vivid
ly impressed on the mind of the
reader in a way that words cannot
do. 1t is the next thing to seeing
the great Worlds Fair itself. We
advise our readers to examine the
book carefully should they have an
opportunity. Mr.. A.. j. Bowers is
sole agent for the book in this
county, and will canvass and call on
our citizens for subscriptions.

The Oldest and The Hest.

These are the claims which the
publishers of the NEW YORK Oh
SERVER made for their paper in
their prospectus of the JfftyJtifth
'olame. And, while history bears
them out in the first, an undeviat-
ing course in sending outa large,
full, fresh, readable family newspa-
per, gives them at least a right to
the second. In the great multitude
of papers that are published, the OBJ
SERVER holds its own position, and
an enviable position it is. No pa
per reaches US that we can recon-
mend more heartily. 1t is published
at 3.1s year, postpaid, and the
premium picture and chrome hum
bugs are left for those who have
nothing better to offer. s. /. Prime
