We had occasion, recently, to call the at
tentiOn of our readers to the merits and ex-
cellences of the above work. Further exam
nation of it fully confirms us in our previous
opinion of its high character and we are sat
isfied that it is in every way calculated to
meet the wants of our people in this direction,
1t may not be uninteresting to know the opin-
ions of scholars and business men in other
places who own and use the work from day to
day The following is testimonial from the
faculty of Amherst college:
The undersigned. members of the faculty
of Amherst college, having been acquainted
with Johnson's Cyclop,eda from its inception,
and having examined and used the volumes as
they have been issued, heartily recommend it
as one of the most concise, complete and re-
liable works of its class. The great number
and variety of topics the brevity and yet full
mes of the articles, its condensation within the
compass of four volumes, and the very rea-
sonable price at which it is afforded, the high
scholarship of the editor-in-chief, and of those
who have charge of the several departments,
and the fact that the articles are for the most
part contributed by leading specialists and
masters in the several branches of human
knowledge, and are signed by the names of
the authors, are among the characteristic eX-
cellenCCS and recommendations OF tne WORK.
indispensable to scholars and students, such
cyclopadia is one of the most effectual
means of making family intelligent and of
enlightening the community.

We, the undersigned, having subscribed for
Johnson's CyclopHdia because we feel that it
meets a want and answers pressing demand
of the times, cheerfully recommend it to 9TH
ers as one of the most concise and reliable
works of its class that has ever been brought
to our attention. Its editors in-chief are well
known as among the most accomplished schol-
airs of the world, and each department is man
aged by well known master, who has not
only contributed himself, but has secured ar
tieles from the great leading specialists in
every branch of knowledge. As voucher
that the great special articles are the original
productions of the best living authorities,
they are all signed by the writers. Ii is con-
venient for ready reference and furnishes a
handbook of facts which seems almost indis-
pensable to the practical man as well rs the
scholar

WHAT THE JUDGES THINK OUT WEST-JoHNSOS
UNIVERSAL cYcLoPEDIA THE BEST.
Dear Sir:-In these latter days when Cy-
clopedia of some sort is esteemed as necessary
to an outfit for housekeeping" as a cooking
stove or a sewing machine, questions are Of
ten asked as to the comparative merits of diff
ferent Cyclopedas before the reading public,
However good English Cyclop@dias may be
for Englishmen, take it that the average
American will be far better pleased and more
benefited by works cotton up by Americans,
knowing American wants OF American Cy-
clopedias, judging from their scope and COM
prehension, Appleton's American and john
sons Universal stand in the front ranks, and
are the ones from which choice must be made
Which of the two is the better all things con-
sidered? In my library is a full set of the
American and ON the table is full set of the
Universal. From the daily use of these works
for months l unhesitatingly pronounce in ia
vor of the Universal. These are a few of my
reasons for SO doing.
LIST. Convenience Of use and l think this
very important point. Who would buy
Webster's Dictionary in six, four, or even two
volumes? For precisely the same reason

prevailed This mighty nation of nations
Of the earth could pardon, and yet live.
The cup was full of bitterness, but we
drank it down; and now we may throw
away the dregs, for southern soldiers have
strewn their flowers on the graves Of their
northern conquerors, and the southern
governor OF South Carolina has pledged
protection to the liberated slaves. AZ in
l777 the tide OF battle turned, 80 in 1877 at
length has turned the tide of peace This
year, for the first time in our national his
tory, the work of our earlier and later wars
Ia accomplished. We dwell at last in a
real an Homogeneous Union of free COM
monweslths. II Is one harmonious repub-
lie, where no sovereign state is Joined to
its fellows by federal bayonets, and no fu-
gitive for liberty is remanded by federal
courts to his chains; but, American citi-
zens, Tree everywhere, free to govern
themselves, we look hopefully down the
broad vista of peace and prosperity. What
tongue dare forshadow the tale which, if
God will, shall be told here one hundred
years hencep
All honor to the brave and honest chief
magistrate, who, after decade of fruitless
experiments and smoldering strife, had the
good manhood to break away from all mar
row and partisan restraints, cast himself
upon the sound sense and christian senti-
ment of the American people, and lead off
the new order of centuries, and let the
east and the west and the north and the

CENTENNIAL BATTLE HYMN
BY MRS. LOWELL MASON.

BIZ MRS. LOMELt MAbONs
One hundred years A nations joys
Resound along the prospered way
That Stark and lis Green mountain boys
Made ours one hundred years ago.
For them the strife. the fears, the toll;
For US q century OF CALM
The hero-b that wet the soil
our grateful hearts to-day embalm.
The sickle waves amid the grain;
The daisy smiles the clover blooms;
Ger fields once red with battle stain
No more the cloud OF battle looms.
The hills that Ethan Allen loved
In verdant beauty lift their crests
The stately ramparts STAND unmoved
Where sweet Sabbatic stiffness rests
Bald mountain rears against the sky
His scared old forehead boar and brown.
While stars and stripes float Il ee and high
From A nthony's imperial crown.
GOD bless the standard OF the free!
God bless the peaceful, happy land!
Our fathers God We lift to Thee
Our praise for gifts on every hand.
Give us such honest hearts and true
AS warmed the breasts OF patriot sires,
The wrong TO scorn, the right pursue,
Lead us to seek with strong DESIRES
And for our country's honored head
Our reverent lips ask this alone,
That Thou wilt guide his feet to tread
In footprints OF our Washington.
Our washington whose spotless life
The nations OF the earth record;
Who steadfast sought, In peace or strife,
To touch the garment or his Lord.
For him who holds the helm OF state
His name surety, clean and just
Her power OF place but makes more great
The kiDgly gifts he holds in trust.
our counselors with wisdom MI;
Let parties die; let factions cease
Let all men seek, with single will,
our country s unity and peace.
SO not In vain the patriot blood
Was poured upon the crimsoned day,
Where side by side our fathers stood
One hundred years ago to-day.

Last Friday evening, July Sd. the people Of
Mattswan were favored with superior reading
exercise 1T the Congregational church. by Mrs.
A. M. Kelsey, Of Aurora. N. Y, formerly .
resident Of this place. After an absence OF sew
eral years, during which time she has been en-
gagged in successfully teaching elocution, and
also employed In the noble but nervous work
OF instructing the deaf and dumb to talk in the
Cayuga Lake, she has returned to visit for
few days her old home and many friends in
Mattawan. She kindly consented to give us an
evenings entertainment in reading and recita-
ton, provided we would accept the proceeds
for the benefit OF the Congregational church
here. or which she was formerly 4 faithful and
esteemed member The offer was gratefully
accepted, and the exercises were Of unusual
interest from the beginning to the close. The
choir commenced the exercises by singing some
pieces selected for the occasion. and then fol-
lowed the reading and recitations by Mrs. Kel-
sey. Her selections were of the best character.
both serious ard amusing, but all instructive
and deeply interesting, and her rendering OF
them, allowing us 10 judge, evinced . high de-
gree Of culture and proficiency in the work and
department OF Instruction in which she is en-
gagged, and We think she fully merits the honor
she receives where she is employed as teacher
and widely known. Her voice is under perfect
control, every syllable she utters is distinctly
and properly articuiated, absorbed az she is in
the subject, her intonations and emphasis
are natural and correct and bring out the mean
ing of the author fully. Her reading of the quaint
poem entitled Annuity" q The Falling of
|. the Pemberton MILL" the temperance piece,
Am my Brothers Keeper ?" and several
others, were exceptionally good, and left, we
hope, and believe, lasting influence for good
with every nearer. We desire to express our
thanks to Mrs. Kelsey for the double favor Of
the entertainment and donation. G.

On Wednesday morning last Mr.. Henry Pugs-
ley, living five miles west OF this village on the
Monroe road, met with very narrow escape
from accidental death. Mr.. Saxton was en-
gagged in putting down new we'll for him and
had sunk 1t to the depth OF over sixty feet and
had commenced to wall it up with well BRICK
When Mr. Saxton went down into the well on
Wednesday morning he noticed that the brick
had settled, and notified Mr. Pugsley Of the
fact and requested HIM to come down and see
what he thought OF it. Pugsley WAS let down
by the man at the windlass who then went =
short distance for something he wanted. While
the man was gone. good sized hog came along
and tmbled down the well, striking Mr.. Pugs-
ley, who stood on . platform some six feet
above the bottom Of the well. His right arm
was broken in two places, and he was injured
internally. Mr.. Saxton who was some six feet
below escaped unframed. The hog was killed,
