A CYCLOPEDIA FOR $1,000.

Perhaps the most remarkable literary
enterprise of the time, is the publica-
ton of the Library Of UniOersal K,oacl-
Jedge, in 20 volumes of nearly 1000
pages each, handsomely bound, for so
cents per volume, or $1,000 for the set.
1t is reprint entire of the last $3.50
Edinburgh and London edition of
Chambers Encyclopedia A Dictionayy Of
Universal KnoUledge for tie People, with
very large additions upon topics of
special interest to American readers.
The amount of matter will somewhat
exceed that of the OycLopedias of APP
pleton or johnson, though the price is
but fraction of their cost. Volume
one is to be ready early in September
and the Others will follow at verv
short intervals. The remarkably low
prices are accounted for by the method
of sale, to the subscribers direct, saving
them the large commission, often so or
go per cent, paid to agents or dealers ;
also, by the recent great reduction in
the cost Of making books, and by
making very large sales. This certainly
is work that the millions will APP
preciate, Special inducements are
offered to early subscribers and to clubs.
The same publishers have recently
issued editions of Chambers Oyclopeaia Of
Eagl5sh Literature vols, 50 90, formerly
sold ia 2 vols, for 5000 also, Rollins
Aneient History, and JOsephuS' Works,
large type editions, for 1925 and $500
and Smyth's Bible Dictionary, $1.00.
They also publish, in August and
September, the Acme Library Of Biogra-
PLY, 10 vols, and the Acme Li6raiy of
Modern Classics vols, the former at IS
cents and the latter at 90 cents per vol.
In these series are presented such au-
thors as Carlyle, Macaulay, Gibbon,
Goldsmith, Lamartine, Michelet,
Thomas Moore, Walter Scott, and
Fouque, and such subjects as Caesar,
Cromwell, Burns, Joan of Arc, Vicar
of Wakefield, Picciola, Lalla RooEh,

AN INTERESTINGLY CURIOUS CASE
Some time last April we mentioned,
under the above heading, hearing at
the Island Pond House before Charles
E. Benton, ESQ, special master, to set
tie the equities between parties liable
for what is known as the Bowman
mortgage matter. 1t will be remem-
bered by many that during 1865 Major
N. P. Bowman, being the owner of
three or four parcels of land in this
town, and a piece Of land liz Charles
ton, mortgaged them all to Col. Fred
eric Fletcher OF st. Johnsbqry, as secu-
rity for a loan of 81 900. Among the
parcels in this town was lot of land
owned by Isaac Dyer, but upon which
Major B. had obtained tax sale. In
January 1857, the Major sold several
parcels of real estate; conveying to
Isaac Dyer the lot of land of which
Dyer was the actual owner. In Feb
ruary following he sold the Charleston
lands to one William NJ. Cargill, and a
piece of about fourteen acres in Bright
on to Mr.. Ladoit Farmer, In Novem-
Der of the same year, another parcel of
land to d. s. Storrs, ESQ. All these
purchasers {unless it may be Isaac
Dyer paid the full value for their pur-
chases, even at the inflated prices of
1857, depending entirely upon Major
Bowman's representation that the
lands were unencumbered, the Major
having forgotten the existence of the
mortgage. Gas he now says. Eleven
years later, and most of the lands had
changed owners, some Of them many
times; houses had been built thereon,
farms cleared, etc, when Col. Fletcher.
