The Right Word in the Right Place.— The Publish-

work. It is a small and cheap volume, containing a Dic- 
tionary of Synonyms and of Technical terms. Also, a 
list of Abbreviations and a collection of foreign phrases, 
with other useful matter. We recommend this as a valu- 
able book of reference in the family. Address Fowler & 
Wells, 308 Broadway, New York. 
We return our thanks to Rev. N. M Crawford, D. D., 
tor a copy of “The Faithful Centurion.” This able philo- 
logical enquiry clearly shows that when our Lord said, 
“I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel,” his 
words were addressed to a slave holder. 
“The Ladye Lillian and Other Poems.” By 
E. Young. Copies of the above will be sent, postage 
free, on receipt of One Dollar. Address: E. Young, 
Lexington, Ga. 
The “ Ladye Lillian,” &c., is a volume of fugitive 
poems of more than average merit. It is, we believe, the 
production of a young Georgia mechanic, and is well 
worth the price asked for it.

& Co. 
We are indebted to our kind and good friend, A. 0. 
Moore, Esq , for a copy of this excellent work, which 
must hereafter be a standard of reference on the very im- 
portant subject of which it treats. It is a large and beau- 
tifully printed volume of over 700 pages ; and it seems to 
embody all that it is necessary to know respecting the 
culture of Wheat and Corn, the diflferent varieties, diseas- 
es, insects, &c., &c.. It will prove a valuable addition to 
any farmer’s library, and may be had per mail, post paid, 
for SI, 50. Address C. M. Saxton, Barker & Co., 25 
Park Row, New York city. 
By reference to our advertising columns, it will be seen 
that our old friend C. M. Saxton and his partners have 
purchased the entire stock of A. 0. Moore & Co., Ag- 
ricultural Publishers and Booksellers. We wish the new 
firm all success in their laudable and useful business, and 
tender to our friend Moore, our best wishes. Our kind- 
est regards will always go with him in whatever field of 
labor he may engage. We have known him intimately 
for years, and always found him a true gentleman. 
It is said that five million acres of French soil are 
devoted to grape culture, producing annually over 
800,000,000 of gallons of wine, at an average cost of 10 
cents per gallon. From its cheapness it is the almost 
universal drink of the people. In Paris it is computed 
that each inhabitaut consumes 216 bottles of wine in the 
year.
