ENTERPRISE.

We copy the following from the
American Bookseller, New York:
Few people can have failed to notice
the great enterprise, If they have not OBJ
served the scrupulous care with which
Messrs. D. Lothrop s. Co. have publish
ed class of books adapted to the highest
culture of the people.
1t is only ten years since they COM
menced the work of publishing, and
their list now numbers more than six
hundred volumes.
We are glad to make record, that
brave and persistent following of high
ideal has been successful
Messrs d. Lothrop & Co. Have given
special attention to the publication of
books for children and youths, rightly
considering that in no department is
the best as regards literary excellence
and purity of moral and religious read
ing, of so great importance. Yet the
names of works by such authors as Aus
tin Phelps, ID. d., Francis Wayland, and
DIR. Nehemiah Adams on their cata-
1Ogue, will show that maturer readers
have not been uncared for.
Of their work projected for the CON-
ing season, we have not room to speak
in detail; it will suffice for the present
to say that it is wide in range, including
substantial and elegantly illustrated
books, all in the line of the practical
and useful, and fresh in character and
treatment.
Their two juvenile magazines, Wide
Awake and Babyland, are warmly well
coined in every part of the English
speaking world.
We advise any of our readers who de
sire to know more about these publica-
tions, to send to d. Lothrop & Co., Bos-
ton, for an illustrated catalogue.
All who visit their establishment, cor
ner of Franklin and Hswiey streets, Will
not only be cordially welcomed and en-
tertained, but will have the pleasure OF
seeing one of the most spacious and at
tractiye bookstores in the country.

The Greenbacker, of this city, pub
lished, few weeks ago, that John A.
Anderson, the Republican nominee for
congress in the first district, had been
kicked out of the Presbyterian church.
Now, did the Greenbacker know it lied >
Does it know it YETI Does it know a
preacher, even if he does get to scrib-
bling for country paper, ought not to
make statements of the kind published
about Anderson, unless he knows them
TO be trueg The fact is that Mr.. Ander-
sons standing in the church and minis
try is as good as that of any man in the
State. Tally another careless or wilful
Islander of a prominent Republican by
the heightened Greenbacler. Can the
people put confidence in such an in
strnetors Is 1t manly enough TO come
out and say it lied about Anderson

LYON COUNTY Pics AT KANSAS CITY.
Lyon county was represented at the
Kansas City fair, last week by twelve
Berkshire and Poland China pigs, from
J. V. Randolph's stock. The swine de
partment was very full, there being
about twenty pigs for one premium, so
that getting premium was like being
struck by lightning. Mr.. Randolph's
pigs were not struck that way, but in
our opinion, and in that of all whom we
talked with on the subject, they compar-
ed very favorably with the finest pigs
in the immense collection. They were a
credit to Lyon county and to their en-
terprising breeder. One SOW, a year old,
was barred from the blue ribbon only
because she was fatter than the regula-
tiOns prescribed, the committee holding
that it must discourage the bringing OF
fat pigs to fairs. In every other re-
spect it was conceded Mr. Randolph's
pen was entitled to the first premium.

NeMsnaner Work.

There are many features of the Ban
croft case which have given it unusual
public interest, and as is usual whenever
newspaper work involving extra labor
and expense is on hand here, THE NEWS
is depended upon to furnish the public
with the desired information. We did
this, for instance, in the Medaris trial,
the tornado, and the military riot case,
and we trust that on this occasion we
have published report satisfactory to
our contemporaries and to all parties
interested. We are pleased to learn
from parties present during the trial that
our reporter faithfully and ably carried
out his instructions to furnish full and
fair summary of the proceedings, and
suggest to our contemporaries that they
might judiciously make room in their
columns for at least Judge Peyton's
very able and instructive charge to the
Jury. 10 al

The Mammoth Hippotheatron exhib-
tied In this town on Sept. 1st, and our
citizens were agreeably disappointed, as
none could guess what the Hippothea-
iron was, but after searching our later
dictionary we found the meaning of this
jaw-breaking word, which means horse
theatre, and as we witnessed the per-
Torrance of horse theatre for the first
time the novelty was grand as the grand
Olio of acts which passed with lightning
rapidity before our eyes gave us hardly
time TO testify our appreciation. At one
moment we were convulsed with laugh

comedians, the next spell bound by the
daring feats of the athletes, charmed at
the beautiful singing, and astonished at
the manner in which the Arabian steeds
executed their difficult feats, and in

MYsTERIoUs.-Thursday last week a
man named Garret came down in wag
on from Toledo, bringing with him a
young lady of 10 years, named Gurtie
Tasset, daughter of a neighbor of Mr..
Carrots. She came down to do some
shopping, and on getting out of the wag-
on on CommeGEfffiiiatlh i97t street, told Mr.. Gar
ret that she was going to call on some
friends below the railroad, and would be
at Newman's store after dinner to go
home with him. She did not appear,
and he finally went home, concluding
she would come by railroad. Nothing
has since been seen or heard of her. Her
parents cannot account for her disap-
pearance. They know of no friends here
for her to visit. She was of good char
acter, and seemed contented at home.
Constable T. johnson has a full length

heighth, trim build, light complexion,
and has small blue eyes, and auburn
hair.

feet high. The heads are as large as an

inches long. They are full and solid
with seed, and look immense. Mr.. Gil
man procured the seed from the New

is said that it may be cut off and fed as
fodder a number of times during the
