Hon. Jabez Beard made us n short
visit on Monday. He disclaims any
desire to engage in special session
of the legislature, which is correct;
there is no more use for n special

Consumers of Cream of Tartar,
Tartaric Acid and Bi-Corbonatc of
Soda, should discriminate between
the pure and commercial kinds.
The latter may be sold at very low
prices, but if used for domestic pur.

by reason of the metallic impurities
they contain. At Van elders
Drug Store, they have but one grade
of these goods; the strictly pure.
Van Matre's is still the head quar-.
tiers, for School Books and School
supplies.
The Premium Engraving, issued
by "Peterson's Magazine" for 1878,
like everything else from that quar-
ter, is of rare excellence and beauty.
1t is not of the cheap, colorcd litho-
graphs, with which the country is
flooded, but a first-class line and slip
pie engraving, executed in the high
est style of art. The artists are Ill
man " Brothers, and they have en-
graved it, (sizc, "a Inches by 20) ex-
pressly for "Peterson's Magazine" in
their most brilliant manner. 1t is
such plate as would sell, at retail,
for five dollars, The picture repre-
scnts the angels of Christmas. y
They are lowering in the sky, over
the Holy City, the Star of Bethlehem
stresming down on the landscape. 1t

merit and beauty it is, we think, the
finest peterson" has ever issued
