The Henry Bill Publishing Co.'S Re vised Version of the Old Testament is out. It contains HOO pages. Within eight days after the publishers received the Eng fish copy they had their copy III type. For such large book, requiring so much care, this is probably the quickest time on record. They have taken very great pains to have the book accurate. After the best proof readers in New England had finished their work, Rev. l.. P. Chamberlain, D. D., of Brooklyn, N. Y,, very accurate and accomplished biblical scholar, com pared it word for word with the English edition, and his certificate is in each copy. He found some errors in the English book, which were of course corrected in this. The prices of this book are about one-half that of the English books for the core spending styles.

GAS soon as the enemy saw us (speaking of his first battle in the civil war; they decamped as fast as their horses would carry them. kept my men in the ranks and forbade their entering any of the deserted houses or taking anything from them. We halted at night on the road and proceeded next morning at an early hour. Harris had been encamped in creek bottom for the sake of being near water. The hills on either side of the creek extended to considerable height possibly more than hundred feet. as we approached the brow of the hill on which it was expected we would camp. and pos sibly find his men ready formed to meet us. My heart kept getting higher and higher until it felt to me as though it was in my throat would have given any thing to have been back in Illinois, but I had not the moral courage to halt and con- slider what to do. Ikept right on. When we reached point from which the valley was in full view halted the place where Harris had been few days before was there and the marks of recent camps were plainly visible, but the troops were gone. My heart resumed it's place. It occurred to me. at once that Harris had been as much afraid of me as of him. This was a view of the question had never taken before, but it was one never forgot after. From that event to the close of the war I never experienced trepidation npon con- fronting an enemy.
