Human and Comparative Anatomy, Physiology and Hy- 
gienu. By Mrs. Eunice P. Cutter. With one hundrod 
Kgnravings ; revised and stereotyped. New York: 
Clark, Austin & Smith. 
This is an elementary work, the title of 
which explains itself. It is of a similar char¬ 
acter with the Elements of Physiology, by 
Calvin Cutter, M. I)., which latter work is in 
extensive use in our Common Schools. As the 
above named work is also copy righted by Mr. 
Cutter, it is probably an emanation from the 
same or a correlative source. It is a concise 
and pertinent work, and calculated to open 
the way to higher attainments in an interest¬ 
ing field of study. The motto is a truthful and 
•important one, and well worthy to bo remem¬ 
bered, “ Study me, I am fearfully and wonder¬ 
fully made.” 
Primary Geography, forming Part Finst of a systematic 
series of school Geographies. By S. S. Cornell. I ub- 
lished by. D. Appleton & Co., New York. 
This is a neat little work of ninety-six 
pages, elegantly illustrated, and designed for 
beginners in Geography. It is simplified and 
brought within the comprehension of the 
youthful mind, and is disentangled from all 
intricate problems and lengthy descriptions. 
The maps are mere outlines, the questions 
terse and explicit, and the answers such as the 
youngest pupil can easily commit to memory. 
The object of the work is to serve as the first 
step towards a higher ai\d more extended field 
of Geographical research. 
Colton’s Geographical Combination Maps, Designed to In- 
struct and Amuse the Family Circle and the Primary 
Softool. New York : J. II. Colton & Co. 
The book-form case before us, one of the 
above series, contains a Map of the world, hut 
so dissected and cut up that it requires consid¬ 
erable ingenuity and geographical knowledge 
to combine the whole together in its piopei 
form. 'These Maps furnish an amusing and in¬ 
structive exercise for the young, and will form 
a valuable addition to the family or school 
library. Sold by R. G. Murray, General 
Agent, Rochester. .

‘‘Tue Crayon,” is the well-chosen name of 
a paper devoted to the graphic arts and the 
literature relating to the same, published by 
W. J. Stillman & J. Durand, 237 Broadway, 
New York. It numbers among its contribu¬ 
tors some of the best writers of the country, 
and we hope it will prove, as it ought to, a 
successful enterprise. Terms, $3 per annum. 
Graham’s Monthly for February is received,, 
and also a copy of the Presentation Plate given 
to each of their subscribers. It contains por¬ 
traits of the fourteen Presidents, views of the 
Capitol, Washington’s Head-quarters at New- 
berg, Bunker Hill, &c., and is a well designed 
and handsomely got up picture. R. H. See &

“The Life and Beauties of Fanny Fern,” 
is the title of a new volume soon to be pub¬ 
lished in New York by H. Long & Bro. It will 
be an authentic biography of this noted au¬ 
thoress, containing also choice extracts from 
her writings. 
Putnam’s Monthly for February has a por¬ 
trait of one of its contributors, and a large 
variety of interesting articles. Sold at McMa¬ 
hon’s, Waverly News Room. 
Harper’s Gazettkr of the World, No. 8, has 
been reeoived from E. Darrow & Bro. 
Removal.— We learn that Messrs. Miller, 
Orton & Mulligan, in consequence of the large 
increase in their business as publishers, will 
remove from Buffalo to New York city in the 
spring. We are glad to hear of their prosper¬ 
ity, and believe them eminently worthy a 
larger measure of the same. 
There are said to be in the different Savings 
Banks in the State of New York, some millions 
of deposits that have been unclaimed for years. 
The depositors are probably dead, and either 
left no heirs to claim the deposits or no proof 
by which such deposits could be claimed.— 
These sums constitute a large capital on which 
these banks can make loans and roll up inte¬ 
rest. The question is mooted in the New York 
papers whether the State ought not to claim 
them. 
The Scientific American thinks that one of 
the prominent causes of the present money de¬ 
pression has been the immense losses by fire 
during the past year. Fire produces not 
merely a relative but a positive loss—the pro¬ 
perty does not merely change hands, it is de¬ 
stroyed. The American strengthens this point 
by a reference to the statistics of the past. 
|»)feS!igei)ce, 
Arrival of the Pacific. 
The Pacific, from Liverpool on the 15th inst., 
reached New York January 25tli. She was oft 
Sandy Hook at 5 the afternoon previous, but 
laid off on account of the snow storm. In run¬ 
ning up the Mersey, the night being very dark, 
she ran into the brig Corinthian, at anchor, 
outward bound, with a cargo valued at £20,000. 
The brig sunk immediately. No lives were lost. 
The loss of the liner George Canning, from 
this port for Hamburg, is confirmed, and it is 
supposed all on board, 160 in number, perished, 
Papers and passengers’ baggage from her had 
been washed ashore near Helig’s land, which 
is all that is really known of her. 
The eastern question has assumed an entire¬ 
ly new phase. Prince Gortschakoff has an¬ 
nounced to the Austrian government that the 
Czar accepts not only the four points of the 
guarantee, hut also the interpretation given to 
them by the three powers. 
Sardinia has joined the western alliance.— 
The conduct of Prussia and the Germanic 
States is still equivocal. 
The Allies, it is said will insist on the Rus¬ 
sian naval power in the Black Sea, being placed 
on the level with that of other powers as a 
proof of their success, and on this point it is 
expected negotiations will split, as Russia will 
on no account assent to it. 
A dispatch dated Brailon, Jan. 9th, says 
< ‘ The Russians have crossed the Danube and 
invaded the Drobudscha.” 
In regard to the siege of Sevastopol, the 
latest official dispatches published by the 
British Post $ire to the 26th of Dec., and em¬ 
brace only what we have already received; 
but via. St. Petersburg, we have a dispatch 
from Menschikoff, dated Jan. 2d, which says, 
‘‘Nothing new has occurred. We continue to 
annoy the enemy by night sorties. In one of 
these we made ten zouaves prisoners.” The 
weather continued variable. The railway from 
Balaklava to the camp was to be commenced at 
once. The fire of the Allies continued very 
feeble, and caused scarcely any damage. Sick¬ 
ness was on the increase. 
Great Britain. —Various rumors are afloat 
in regard to changes in the Cabinet, hut they 
are considered only as rumors. 
The proposed mediation of the United States 
has excited much less attention than might 
have been supposed. The London Times treats 
the question with great candor and fairness, 
and submits that the United States must allow 
that such offer of mediation may be declined 
in any special case, and no disrespect be im¬ 
plied by declination. 
According to private accounts of a com¬ 
pletely reliable character, from St. Petersburg, 
great distress is experienced and much dissat¬ 
isfaction prevails at the hardships imposed by 
the war. It is mentioned that in all the 
churches prayers were offered for peace. As 
religious services in Russia are subject to the 
direct control of the government, this state¬ 
ment is somewhat remarkable. 
France. —The Emperor reviewed the detach¬ 
ment of the Imperial Guard, on the 9th, pre¬ 
vious to their embarkation to the Crimea.— 
There is a rumor that the Emperor of Russia 
has sent an autograph letter to the Emperor 
of France, making a proposal of Peace. 
Germany.— A terrific inundation of the Elbe 
occurred on the 2d. The damage done at 
Hamburg is estimated at about 4,000,000 marks. 
Iu Hanover much damage was done and many 
lives were lost. The B’rench army of occupa¬ 
tion in the Roman States will not be reduced 
below 32,000 men. 
Liverpool Markets. —Breadstuff's dull and 
rather lower. Western canal Richardson quotes

still on a decline, being worth to-day 90c to $1. Oat-, are 
two cents lower, and other grains unchanged. 
Pork lias gone up during the vnek and sells readily at 
$5,75®6,50. 
Nothing is doing in Wooi at- thi; point to make it a mat¬ 
ter of much interest to quote: suffice it to say, there has 
been no change from the extreme point of depression 
throughout the year. In regard to the Eastern market 
the Journal of Commerce says:—We notice sales of 10,000 
fts medium domestic fleece at 34c. Foreign is quiet. At 
Boston we notice sale s of 500 fts. Unwashed Smyrna at 
n%(a)V2%c. 
The money market is well supplied ana it is difficult to 
see how an easy state can be prevented by the money 
shavers.' Large supplies of gold are constantly being re¬ 
ceived; the import trade of foreign goods has greatly 
fallen off, and very littie specie is exported. The George 
Law has brought in during the week SI,270,000 in gold, 
and two foreign steamers have taken out but $37,742.— 
There lias been received from California during the year 
$43,590,301.30; during the last four years $1S6,6S4,088.

HORACE HUNT. 
Hunt’s Hollow. Jan. 17, 1855. 264-3t 
The steamship George Law reached New 
York Jan. 25, bringing California mails of the 
1st inst., and $1,251,000 in treasure. 
California news is unimportant. There had 
been no rain until the day the steamer left, 
when a tremendous storm prevailed. The rain 
fell in torrents, and a number of frame build¬ 
ings in the city of San B’rancisco were blown 
down, and others unroofed. 
The Supreme Court has decided that Sacra¬ 
mento is the Capital of the State. James Ho¬ 
gan, the City Marshal of Oakland—the Brook¬ 
lyn of San Francisco — has absconded with 
$20,000 of the public funds. 
The steamer B’alcon is safe. She left Aspin- 
wall on the afternoon of the 15th for New 
York, via Havana, without passengers, and is 
to be laid up for the time. The steamer Eldo¬ 
rado takes her place. 
The Panama railroad will probably be finally 
opened on the 1st of February. 
A general stampede of State prisoners took 
place on the 27th, and about thirty of them 
made their escape, after a struggle with the 
Sheriff and posse. 
A robbery was committed on hoard the 
steamship Sonora on her trip to Panama. The 
sum of $27,000 was taken from the treasure 
room of the Sonora, and the theft was not dis¬ 
covered until the arrival at Panama. Thirteen 
thousand had been recovered, but the remain¬ 
der is still missing. The carpenter and boat¬ 
swain of the Sonora had been arrested on sus¬ 
picion of being concerned iu the robbery, and 
taken to San B’rancisco for examination. 
The 5th Legislature of the State commenced 
its session on the 7th. The leading question 
before the body will be the electing of a suc¬ 
cessor to Dr. Gwin in the U. S. Senate, the 
prominent candidates being Dr. Gwin and Mr. 
Broderick. 
The amount of gold received from the inte¬ 
rior has been limited for a mouth past, and the 
mercantile community has begun to feel most 
keenly the drain that has been going on upon 
the stock here.. Merchants in the interior are 
unable to meet their engagements with job¬ 
bers in the cities, and they in turn but partial¬ 
ly meet their payments. Prices had given way 
a little, hut will probably recover, with a re¬ 
newal of the demand for consumption. 
Flour and grain have attracted some atten- 
| tion; large parcels of both have changed 
hands on speculation. Nothing is said as to 
the treaty with the United States, except in a- 
letter to the San B’rancisco Herald, in which it 
is affirmed that the treaty is signed, and its 
consummation rests altogether with the au¬ 
thorities at Washington.

and a good calf sells readily at 6 ® 6 t£c, but poor quality 
remain dull of sale.

FARM LANDS FOR SALE. 
THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY 
Is now preparol lo Sdl over Two Millions of Acres Prairie 
Farm Zands, in Iracts of 40 Acres or upward, on long 
credits and at low rates of interest! 
They were granted by the Government, to encourage 
the building of this Railroad, which runs from the ex¬ 
treme North to the extreme South of the State of Illinois. 
The Road passes, from end to end, through the richest 
and most fertile Prairies of the State, dotted here and 
there with magnificent Oak Groves. The recent opening 
of noarly six hundred miles of the Company’s Railroad 
throws open their lands for cultivation, they being scat¬ 
tered for several miles in width,on each side of the Road, 
throughout its entire length. 
The soil is dark, rich mould, from 1 to 5 feet in depth, is 
gently rolling, and peculiarly fitted for grazing cattle and 
sheep, or tile cultivation of wheat, Indian corn, etc. 
Tho economy in cultivating and the productiveness of 
Illinois lands are well known. Trees are not required to 
he cut down, stumps grubbed, or stone picked off, as is 
generally the case in the cultivation of new land in the 
older States. The first crop of Indian corn, planted on 
tho newly-broken sod, usually repays the cost of plowing 
and sometimes that of fencing. Wheat sown on the new¬ 
ly-turned sod is sure to yield very large profits. One man 
with a plow and two yoke of oxen will break one and a 
half to two acres per 'day. Contracts can he made for 
breaking, ready for corn or wheat, at from $2 to $2,50 per 
acre. By judicious management, farms may he broken 
and fenced the first, and under a high state of cultivation 
the second year. 
Corn, grain, cattle, etc., will be forwarded at reasonable 
rates to Chicago, for the Eastern market, and to Cano for 
the Southern. The larger the yield on the cheap lands of 
Illinois over the high-priced lands in the Eastern and Mid¬ 
dle States,, is known to be much more than sufficient to 
pay the difference of transportation to the Eastern markot. 
The rapid increase and growth of flourishing towns and 
villages along tho line afford a substantial and growing 
home demand for farm produce. 
Bituminous coal is mined at several points along the 
Road, and is a cheap and desirable fuel. 
PRICE AND TERMS OF PAYMENT. 
The price will vary from $5 to $25, according to loca¬ 
tion, quality, etc. Contracts for deeds may be made du¬ 
ring tho year 1855, stipulating the purchase money to be 
paid in five annual installments. The first to become due 
in two years from the date of contract, and the others 
annually thereafter. 
INTEREST WILL BE CHARGED AT ONLY TWO PER 
CENT. PER ANNUM. 
As a security for the performance of the contract, the 
first two years’ interest must be paid in advance, and it 
must be understood that from one-tenth to one-fourth of 
the land purchased shall yearly be brought under culti¬ 
vation. Longer credits, at six per cent, per annum, may 
be negotiated by special application. Twenty per cent, 
from the credit prico will be deducted for cash. The 
Company’s construction bonds will be received as cash. 
Contracts have been made with responsible parties to 
keep on hand 
Ready-framed Farm Dwellings, waieh can be set 
up in a few days. 
They will he 12 feet by 20 feet, divided into one Living 
and three Bed Rooms, and will cost complete—set up on 
ground chosen anywhere along the Road, $150 in cash, 
exclusive of transportation. Larger buildings may he 
contracted for at proportionate rates. The Company will 
forward all the materials for such buildings over their 
Road promptly, charging for the cheapest class at the rate 
of 11 cents for every mile transported. 
Special arrangements with dealers have been made to 
supply those purchasing the Company’s lands with fenc¬ 
ing materials, agricultural tools, and an outfit of provisions 
in any quantity, at the lowest wholesale prices.

TO AGENTS AND NEW SUBSCRIBERS. 
It is believed that the price, long credit, and low rate 
of interest, charged for these lands, will enable a man 
with a fow hundred dollars in cash and ordinary indus¬ 
try, to make himself independent before all the purchase 
money becomes due. In tho mean time, the rapid settle¬ 
ment of the country will probably have increa;o-l then- 
value four or flvo fold. When required, an experienced 
person will accompany applicants, to give information 
and aid iu selecting lands.
