Buel's latest book, bearing the above
title, seems to have captivated all classes
of readers. Maj. Gen. Wesley Merritt, Of
the u. s: Army, has written "a letter to
the author, In which he says: 'You
seem throughout to have apprecl ated the
fact that faithful rendition OF the ex-
ploits Of our Frontier Herpes was suffi-
cieut to captivate the. attention OF the
reader, and to command the sympathy OF
all who are interested in manly courage.
and the progress Of civilization In the
Great West" The book has received
many other concentrations Of equally
high order, and is meeting with such re
markable success that the publishers have
not been able at times to supply the de-
mand. 1t Is sold only by subscription.

A BABY Bonn WITH TEETH.-The
rare distinction of having baby born
with teeth attached to Mrs. Eleanor
McManus, of No. sos Mexican street,
Philadelphia. This remarkable child
saw the light for the first time on last
Wednesday, and displayed about the
first thing three woll.formed teeth as
large as those that generally develop
in a child one year old. Two of the
teeth are incisors in the lower jaw and
the third canine tooth in tho upper
jaw. DR.. Hastings, who attends the
mother, found that one of the incisors
was not tightly imbedded, and as it
would likely give the baby trouble,
pulled It. In performing this opera
tion, the baby displayed none OF the
perturbation that older persons show
under similar circumstances, bat IL
crowcd Justify all the while. The
doctor believes that the other teeth
will shortly make their appearance, as
the infants gums are quite bard.
