DIME MUSIC. 
To properly compensate Authors—a nd thereby to stimu- 
liite native talent,—is a cardinal feature of our undertaking; 
while to place upon the piano licit gents, requiring more 
space than the Half-Dime Series affords, induces the inaugu¬ 
ration of the Dime Series, which it is believed will accom¬ 
plish both of these aims. 
Parents can rest assured that, in future as in past, our pub¬ 
lications will be scrupulously free from anything that has an 
immoral or hurtful tendency, so that those who subscribe 
for the numbers as issued will find nothing to offend even 
the most fastidious taste. The following are now ready :

Reliable Vegetable Seed. 
Planters and Farmers of the South, and of the whole coun¬ 
try over, will find it most decidedly for their interests to 
procure their seed directly from the grower, and thus avoid 
the great loss and aggravation caused by planting old and 
impure seed. 1 have over one hundred choice varieties 
growing on my four seed farms, which I warrant to be both 
pure and true, and to reach every purchaser. 
POTATOES of tHe best new varieties are engraved 
and fully described in mv Catalogue, which will he sent 
gratis to all. I advise mv Southern friends to purchase their 
potatoes in the fall, as it'is too cold to send them safely from 
the North after November.

NEW BOOK FOR HUNTERS. 
THE 
HUNTER AND TRAPPER. 
BY 
HALSEY THRASHER, 
AN EXPERIENCED HUNTKIt. 
ILLUSTRATED. 
This little book will bo read with interest by all who 
would find instruction and entertainment in the narrative 
of an old hunter’s experience. The following, from the 
author’s Preface, will give au idea of the character and 
design of the work: 
“lam a blacksmith by trade, but when I was a boy I 
became fond of a gun and a trap, and my first success in 
my shop was to make a steel trap. It was my aim to 
become an expert trapper, and I tried my hand at catch¬ 
ing foxes. 
“ Many a dollar have I paid to cunning old men to learn 
the art, and I have succeeded pretty well, too ; but why 
lias not some man of experience written a book explain¬ 
ing the art of successfully trapping the different kinds of 
fur animals ? I propose to tell the boys how to do it. 
“I have studied the nature and habits of animals of 
different species, and a plan that was good to capture the 
otter, the mink, and the beaver, forty years ago, is just 
as good now as then. The nature of animals doesn’t 
change like the nature of men ; we have grown wiser, 
while they have remained the same. The mode of cap¬ 
turing them when I was a boy, and the way used now, 
may he put together, and succeed better than cither one 
alone. 
“ Men are traveling through the country selling recipes 
at a high price to teach how to dress skins. I propose in 
tliis work to teach all these things, so that a man may 
have them in a neat little volume for reference at any 
time. I shall also treat upon angling for the trout, the 
bass, and the pickerel, which I think I understand. I 
hope to make it all so plain that even the inexperienced 
will, in some measure, succeed.”
