"That Cheap EncyciOpedia.s

Volume one of the new "Library of Uni versal Knowledge" is issued September e0th. It contains 736 pages of small but clear and paper, and is neatly and strongly bound in cloth, half morocco and half Russia, at 50 cents, 75 cents, and $1.00 per volume. The succeeding volumes will appear about two each month, till the 20 volumes completing the work are issued. Specimen volumes are sent to any part of the United States (l0 cents extra for postage), with privilege of return after ten days examination. Special terms are offered to early subscribers and to clubs, of which full particulars ara sent free on TO. quest by the publishers, the AMERICAN Book EXCHANGE, 55 Beekman street, N, Y.
 That a complete Encyclopedia, first-class In character, and containing more matter than any heretofore published in this country at any price, should be made and cold for the trifiing sum of 5000, seems so extraordinary, that many who wish it may be true, are very incredulous. The same house publish large list of standard works, all at similarly low prices, and the presence of some of them al- ready in the hands of hundreds of thousands of lovers of good books in all parts of the land, is naturally rapidly transforming the iI. credulous into patrons and enthusiastic friends of the enterprise No mystery is made about the cause of the low prices-they are the rs: duced cost of manufacture to about one-half what it was a few years ago, tthe method 9f sale, direct to the purchaser, saving him the large commissions commonly paid to agents and dealers, and very large sale. It is worth the cost of postal card to see theif catalogue.

wise co-laborer with his ministers, he was helpful to them, but he wanted them to help themselves also. He knew that labor con- quers all things. He was one of the wisest and most judicious official members have ever known associated as he was, with a
 board of capable and efficient brethren, he never so far as my knowledge extends, alienated one of these, never by any act oi his, or any position held by him, excited jealousy or stirred the spirit of rivalry. There never was any disposition in the church to displace him. Indeed he never filled any of ice in the church but that which was con- ferred upon him because of universally ac. knowledged fitness. He never sought pro- motion, it came to him. He has held every office and filled almost every position to
 which layman in our church is eligible. He was lay delegate from this District to the New York annual Conference from the first that laymen were admitted to our Conference bodies. Outside of the city of New York, he was one of the most influential laymen in the New York Conference. Indeed, Bishop James said of him, 'sE regard John R. Ward one of the strongest laymen in our N. B. Church" :" In 1867 he purchased the land for the Pine Grove Camp Meeting, and effected the organi- zation of the Camp Meeting Association. He remained President of the Camp Meeting As |sociation untillhis decease. Having been con-
 verted at Camp Meeting, he was ardently at
 tached to them. At the closing exercises of
 the last meeting at Pine Grove his heart was filled with tender love, his tears of affection flowed as he shook hands for the last time with his much loved friends in Jesus. The Speak CT then referred to his honorable reputation in
 matters of business, as man of affairs, also remarked upon his political life in terms of magnanimous approval, saying, that we were
 not able to discover the Struly praise-worthy qualities of men in those things in which we harmonize, as when our lines of thought and conviction traverse theirs, that while he ad-
 hered to the Democratic party as faithfully as he did to the Church, he. was never offensive as politician.
 The speakers address to the friends was
 tender and appropriate. He said, "Eleven years ago we parted back the snow to give his wife room to sleep; to-day we shall part
 the flowers to make his resting place, but now
 they are both in the summer land of Heaven With all ihis consolation they would often sigh, oh, for touch of vanished hand, and the sound of voice that is still, " but

Henry C. Cook a Norwich tailor boasts of

Henry c. Cook, Norwich tailor boasts of a beard six feet and half long. He carries it in a little bag under his shirt bosom, but, when he lets it fall it's full length it stretches out ten inches from his toes, and looks like a large sken of brown silk It has been grow ing about twenty one years, and till recent trimming it was seven feet long. Barnum tried to procure Cook for his show, but the latter's modesty and his wife's objections pre- vented the engagement. The snowman says Cooks beard excels that of Edwin Smith, re- gently reported from Fairfield, Mich, in length and beauty, though the latter is said to be seven and one-half feet long.
 Quite an excitement prevailed at Pitts field Thursday evening over rumors of a shooting affray at Richmond. It appears that Charles Dorr, who is field-driver, found an ancient horse in the streets belonging to Levi Butler, and forthwith attempted to put the animal in the pound, but being discovered by Butler, was accosted by him and quite an | altercation arose, both men becoming angry As Dorr led the horse away Butler followed him threateningly to the very door of his house.
