Tuis work, 86 Us title indicates, is intended to nid the 
youthful mind in Ibe attainment of botanical knowledge, 
the most generally interesting oi the natural sciences. The 
lessors it contains are plain and simple, and the subjects 
treated, are carried tar enough to make the book a complete 
Grammar of Botany and Vegetable Physiology, and a good 
introduction to works more complex in character. The 
lessons are thirty-four, and comprise all subjects from the 
growth of the plant from the Beed, to the modes of collec¬ 
tion lor au Herbarium. The many illustrations, in which 
the work abounds, will present to the eye the course ot 
vegetation, and materially assist the mind in grasping the 
truths which it is the province ol such books to convey.

Tins is a very readable book. It contains the sum nf 
the Rev, Author's reasonings, aud moral persuasions with 
several very interesting persons who needed such am in¬ 
structor to direct their thoughts to their obligations to 
Gon, their heavenly Father, and to Jesus Christ as the 
“Way and the Truth and the Life” — the Savior of the 
penitent. Frank Wilson, a skeptic in religion, is the 
subject, and has a history of the deepest interest. The 
details fill 100 pages, but they amply rewatd the reader.— 
The power of ti utb, and the interesting position of a noble 
mind returning to the told of the Goad Shepherd, are fine¬ 
ly developed. How similar wanderers, probably, perish in 
their sins because no oris is able to show them to the.DiBelves

ought to be discussed. The report was adopted 
unanimously. 
The American Board of Commissioners of For¬ 
eign Missions, held their Annual Meeting on the 
15th. The report shows the mission at Can’ a has 
sustained, by being driven from the ground, and 
the destruction of hooks, a loss of $14,000. The 
receipts for the nine months of the fiscal year are 
$240,669, an increase of $29,485, compared with 
the same period last year. Several addresses were 
made by missionaries, showing the good results 
achieved by the labors of the Society. 
The thirty-third anniversary of the American 
Sunday School Union was held Tuesday evening 
week, in Philadelphia. Interesting addresses were 
delivered by Rev. W. T. Brantley, I). D. t Rev. Jno. 
Jenkins and others. The ceremonies were inter¬ 
spersed with the singing of hymns. It appears 
from the annual report that missionaries have been 
sent into 26 different States and Territories, who 
have established over 1,800 new schools, having 
about 80,000 children and 13,000 teachers. They 
have visited and supplied with books 3,000 Sunday 
schools, containing over 100,000 children. During 
the last six years more than 12,000 new Sunday 
schools, containing 78,000 teachers and 600,000 
children, have been organized. The publishing 
department has distributed during the year books, 
&c., to the amount of $177,563. The receipts in 
the missionary department have amounted to $84,- 
097 67. This department is entirely distinct from 
the publishing department. The Society now pub¬ 
lish a complete library for Sunday schools, con¬ 
taining 841 volumes; also, the Sunday School 
Journal and Youth’s Penny Gazette. 
The anniversary of the American Baptist So¬ 
ciety was held in Boston ou Wednesday week.

Official dispatches recently received warrant 
the belief that Brigham Young has fled from Utah, 
as it is knowD he was in treaty with the Indians for 
safe conduct through their country. 
As the trout fishing season is “ about these days” 
it may be well to remind the fishermen that a law 
passed oy tne Legislature last winter prohibits the 
taking of trout in any of the inland public waters 
of the State with net, seine, wire, basket, spear, 
trap, or any other device whatsoever, except the 
good orthodox old method of Izaak Walton, viz., 
a hook and line. Penalty $25. 
Buffalo harbor is open. A dispatch dated 
there on Saturday says:—The steamer Western 
World arrived here last night from Detroit. The 
steamer Plymouth Rock is advertised to leave here 
at 3 o’clock this afternoon for Detroit, although 
there is a good deal of ice in the lake yet. 
The Niagara Falls Gazette says the preliminary 
surveys for the railroad from St. Catharines to 
Rochester, via Lewiston, were commenced on 
Monday week. The friends of the proposed road 
feel confident that it will be built without much 
delay. 
It appears, by letters from the City of Mexico 
of the 1st inst, that Col. Crabhe’s California fiUi- 
busters in Sonora had been attacked by Mexican 
troops, defeated and captured. The prisoners, 60 
in number, including Col. Crabbe, were all to be 
shot by the Mexican force. 
The Boston Traveller says it is estimated that 
the whole amount expended in the business of ex¬ 
ploring and working the copper mines on Lake 
Superior, up to Jan. 1st, 1857, was about$8,000,000. 
The present value of the best mining establish¬ 
ments in that region is set down at $5,500,000, and 
the whole amount of copger produced up to Jan. 
1st, is estimated at $8,175,100. Balance in favor of 
the mines $2,673,100; but if the more unsuccess¬ 
ful establishments be estimated at one-quarter of 
their cost, and this estimate added, the balance 
will he more than doubled.

Thk Yonxo Mi.v'.m Magazine.— The initial (May) num¬ 
ber of this Magazine, recently announced in our advertis¬ 
ing department, has been received. We like its tone and 
contents exceedingly, and sincerely trust it may achieve 
as we believe it will fully merit., eminent success. The 
Editor says that it will be his untiring uini “ to make the 
work a complete repertory of whatever is nsetul and note¬ 
worthy in the movements of Young Men in every honora¬ 
ble sphere, and relation ol lile, and steadily exert upon the 
public a healthful and moral influence, improving the 
character no less than pleasing the taste." This design is 
prominently manifested in the pages of Ilie first number. 
Considerable attention ia devoted to the transactions ot 
Young Men'll Socioties and Associations, both religious 
and secular — an admirable feature of the Magazine. Mr. 
McCormick is a gentleman of decided ability, and with 
the aid ol several of the best writers In the country, will 
make his Magazine worthy the support of the large and

Filibustering Don’t Pay. —That Filibustering 
in the United States is not a good investment upon 
the capital paid in, and the passioD and sentiment 
expended, is proved by the fact that while Ameri¬ 
cans have never yet undertaken a national war 
that has failed, they have never undertaken a 
marauding expedition that baa succeeded. The 
Albany Journal gives the following as prool: 
“McKenzie's 'Patriot War’ in Canada failed, and 
its victims wero transported or shot Lopez's foray 
in Cuba failed, and he perished by the garrote. The 
Sonora expedition failed, and the bones of its de¬ 
luded members are bleaching on the Plains. The 
Nicaragua expedition has failed at last, also.— 
Walker is cooped up and starving, while his men 
are begging their way back home, through New 
York and New Orleans.” 
First Half of May—Weather, 
The record shows another cold half month. For 
the mean of this period, in 20 years, is 53:2°, and 
for this haif of May 47:6°. In 1841 this part of May 
was 45°, the coldest in 20 yearB, and the hottest 
was 57:3°, in 1744. Still the prospect Is not very 
favorable, as both March and April have been be¬ 
low the average heat. Vegetation, however, is full 
of energy, and having rested longer than usual, 
plants and trees work with great power for this 
temperature. The grass starts rapidly, leaves 
shoot forth, blossoms are preparing in the swelling 
buds, and the wheat fields are Baid to give fair 
promise. 
The water in rain and snow was great in April, 
and has been abundant in May so far. In this 
fortnight of May the water measured 2:7 inches. 
On the 5th there fell 1:6 inches. 
The rise of wheat and flour is the agricultural 
fact of this hall month—a very uncomfortable fact 
to the poorer, and not over delightful to the richer 
lovers of fine bread. The reason of the advance 
ia not so plausible as the fact is certain. 
Of the 15 days, rain or snow fell on nine, and on 
the 15th a deep, heavy fog, from the clouds from 
the Lake, setting down npon the earth. The 
ground must be filled with water, 
The Comet is still very kind in its operations, 
and Bhows no bad properties. o. n.

cal sketches of each. 
A Scientific Board has been appointed to select 
the most prominent men worthy of this tribute, to 
the number of one hundred, without regard to na¬

sand sides of leather were in the lofts, none of 
whice were saved. The green 6toek in the yards 
was all Baved. The total loss is estimated at $40,- 
000. The stock was mostly owned by parties in 
New York and Boston. 
A very destructive fire occurred in Montezuma, 
N. y., on the 14th. The Auburn American says:— 
The store-houses of Giles Ross, Canal Collector, 
and that of Henry & Titus, together with the Col¬ 
lector’s Office, were destroyed, and when our in¬ 
formant left, a number of buildings were on the, 
but would probably be saved. The loss is heavy 
and the insurance light.

Wealth in Boston. —The Boston tax for 1867, 
just published, shows about 5,874 names taxed 
over $6,000. The greatest portion of these are 
taxed on several times $6,000. No religious socie¬ 
ty in Boston has a largo amount of property ex¬ 
cept the Old South, which payB a tax ou $287,000. 
There are pastors that pay, severally, taxes on 
property amounting to $24,000, $23,000, $41,000, 
$46,000 and $66,000. Of those who have retired 
from the University, oue Is taxed for $44,000, an¬ 
other for $213,000, and another for $238,000. So 
that the Boston clergy, as a whole, are pretty well
