DIckens, Little Folks.

Nothing has given the writings of Charles
Dickens 80 strong hold upon the hearts of
parents as the vell-known excellence of his
portrayal Of children and their interests. These
delineations having received the approval Of
readers Of mature age, the different child
characters hsve been detached from the large
mass of matter with which they were originally
connected, and presented in the authors own
language, to new class Of readers, to whom
the little volumes will be as attractive as the
larger originals have proven to the general pub
lie. A series Of twelve volumes has been pre-
pared, presenting, among others, the following
characters: "Smike, from Nicholas Nichleby;
Little Nell" from The Old Curiosity Shop ;
The Child Wife, from David Copperfield /;
"The Boy Joe" from Pic1wick Papers, ETC.,
etc. new edition of the first volume of the
series, " Little Paul, " from Dombey & Son, has
just been issued, illustrated by Darley, and
attractively bound. The other volumes will
shortly follow. Sent postpaid for 81. 90; or any
volume will be sent with years subscription
to the New York Tribune (weekly), for So 90:
or any two volumes, with years subscription
TO the Independent, for $3.0 90.

Terrible Result Of a Joke.

A special dispatch to the London Free
Press from Ottawa, Ont, says The man
Somerville, belonging in Thorne, Pontiac
county, who became insane through a
practical joke being played on him,
passed through thiscity last evening in
charge of friend, on his way to the asy-
lum at Long Point, near Montreal. A
short time since a party of shanty men
were on their way up the river, Somer-
vile being one of the number, when they
all got on drunk, more or less. The
day following, Somerville was told he
had shot a certain magistrate while
intoxicated, and that he would likely be
arrested. La order to avoid this, he was
advised to clear to the woods, and during
the night, he did so. 1t was fourteen
days before he was found again, and then
it was discovered that he was a raving
maniac, having become so through fear
of exposure and want of food.

for near the price they would have to
pay in getting so-called cheap class
instrument with fictitious and doubtful
name.
