ADVERTISEMENTS. 



The Castlb Builders. By the author of " Heart's Ease," " The 

 Heir of Red Clyffe," Scenes and Characters," etc. New York : 

 Appleton & Co. 



A well written work, designed to show the importance 

 of having well-defined principle as the motive to action, 

 and not mere feeling and sentiment. The author aims to 

 show that a settled purpose in life is the only preventive 

 by means of which good impulses in characters undevel- 

 oped will not gradually yield to selfish inactivity. 



Thk History of the Hex Fever : A humorous record. By Geo. 

 P. Bdknham. Boston: J. French & Co. For saleby'W. N. 

 Sage, Rochester, N. Y. 



The publishers have favored us with a copy of the above, 



and in our opinion it is a very fitting companion to the 



life of P. T. Barnum, by himself. Each, in his individual 



sphere, would leave the impression that he has been the 



prince of humbugs, and the servant of the Father of Liars. 



The Relations op Chemistry to Agriculture, and the agricul- 

 tural experiments of ^^^. J. B. Lawes. By Justus V. Liebig. 

 Translated by Samuel W. Joh.vson, at the author's request. Al- 

 bany, N. Y. : Published by Luther Tucker. 



"We have been favored with a copy of the above by the 

 publisher, and we judge it to be the most interesting and 

 inctructive work we have noticed for some time. Prof. 

 Liebig's fame as a writer and author is well known to our 

 readers, and every intelligent agriculturist will derive ben- 

 efit from a perusal of the work above mentioned. 



The Rochester Mystery : A full narrative of the mysterious 

 disappearance of Hiss Iiaima Moore, the recovery of her body, 

 and all the incidents connected with the mournful tragedy. 

 Rochester : J. McMaho\, Waverly News Rooms, State at. 

 The above contains a full account of the incidents con- 

 nected with the mysterious disappearance of the young 

 lady mentioned above, together with the proceedings be- 

 fore the coroners jury, consequent upon the recovery of 

 the body. 



Second Annual Report op the Secretary op the Massachu- 

 setts Board of Agriculture, together with reports of com- 

 mittees, &c. 



"We are much indebted to the accomplished secretary for 

 the above valuable document, which is a credit to the old 

 Bay State. Volumes like the foregoing should be placed 

 in the hands of every farmer ; for it would be impossible 

 for any one to read the collected experience and observa- 

 tions of many, without deriving benefit therefrom.
