Webster's Unabridged has for years been the Dic¬ 
tionary of America-the standard and by far the most 
popular work on lexicology ever published in this 
country. But that has been eclipsed by a great im¬ 
provement and achievement-the publication of this 
pictorial, illustrated, unabridged edition. Valuable as 
was the former edition, the present surpasses it in many 
essentials, and particularly in beiDg enriched and 
adorned with fifteen hundred cuts illustrative of im¬ 
portant subjects. In the language of a contemporary, 
•‘the idea Is a novel as well as a good one, and wo 
predict for the great Pictorial a popularity equal to that 
which the Unabridged has already attained on both 
sides of the Atlantic, and wherever the English lan¬ 
guage is made the medium of thought. It is of no use 
for the opponents of Webster’s orthography and or¬ 
thoepy to decry this work. It is a fixed fiact, a living

the air of winter permeates the bed of gravel by 
some fortunate opening into the earth, by which 
the congelation takes place. As the subject has 
attracted so much attention, other discoveries, it 
is hoped, will lead to some satisfactory and ade¬ 
quate solution. 
The chief object is to give your readers the in¬ 
teresting facts, derived from different sources 
which place them beyond all doubt. o. d.

WHERE IS THE “FAR WEST?’ 
In a recent issue of the Rural we made brief 
mention of the trip lately performed by the steamer 
Spread Eagle, which is considered the most re¬ 
markable voyage in the annals of river navigation. 
The Kansas City Journal gives the following addi¬ 
tional particnlars: 
The steamer Spread Eagle, Captain Chouteau, 
returned on Saturday from the most remarkable 
voyage ever performed in river navigation, hav¬ 
ing, when reaching St. Louis, performed on one 
trip over six thousand miles. She was 850 miles 
above the mouth of the Yellow Stone, or 2,500 
miles above Kansas City. To realize the country 
which she skirted, it will be necessary to compare. 
From Cairo to Pittsburg, the Ohio is 1,000 miles_ 
from New Orleans to Pittsburg, the river naviga¬ 
tion is 2,200 miles. On the Ohio are the States of 
Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia and

make mistakes; if you deal with honest men, (and 
you need not deal with any other,) the mistakes 
could be rectified. No class of men have such a 
choice of men with whom to trade, as the farmer. 
He deals with a very few men, and those few may 
be the best. All that is wanting is a little care at 
the outset. He can thus with a proper discretion, 
steer clear of disputes, and the mazes of the law.

go boys. Come boys should be the farmer’s 
watchword. Working parents generally have in¬
