two miles south west is on inexhaustabie
quantity of the finest lime rock that we
ever saw. The great variety of ahell,
hones, teeth and other formation found
,n these Hme beds make a complete mu-
aeum. Spjne of our oldest citizen* who
were born and raised in this immediate
neighborhood often spend a whole day
in look'ng at the curiosities to be found
on|the branches,in the caves andgullies

Why some enterprising citizens do not
make a fortune out of this lime is a mys
tery to ns, if money can bo made at the

this, we think the quantity on the lands

states,” q work which is e'
dcntly destined to take .ank os the Stan
dnrd History of our country. The author,
James D. McCabe Is an able and well-
known histarical woiter.
Wo most heartily commend this work
to our readers. It is no dry mass of de
tails, no bombastic effort to inflame the
national pride, but a clear, vivid, and
brilliant narative of the events of our
history from tho discovery of the Amer
ienn Continent to the present day. It
gives a most interesting account of the
Indians of North America, fram the
time of the coming of the white men.
Tho voyages of Columbus, the explora
tions of the different nations of Europe,
and the wanderings of the Spaniards in
search of gold and immortal youth, are
told with graphic power. The story of
the Revolution is related with all the in
terest of a romance; then follows a clear
and succinct account of the formation of
the Federal Constitution,the Second War
with Englnnd, the Mexican War, and
the events of our history up to the com
mcncement of the Civil War. The His
tory of the Great Civil War is related
with with intense vigor, and wiffi strict
fidelity to truth. The author writes
with calmness and impartiality, and
pleads the enuse of no section or party.
The work is comprised in one large
und handsome volunm of 1120 pages,and
contains more than 500 fine engravings
jjjustnitiiij' the events rccordea in the
hakrative, embracing battles and other
historical sccnos; portraits of the distin
guished men of our history, views of our
principal cities and of noted public buil
dings, und specimens of famous Ameri
can .scenery by the best artists. The
book is issued by the National Publish
ing Co., of Plpladelphik, Pa., C.hicnga,
ur.. and 8t, Louis, Mo., whose imprint
is a guarantee V the exlence of the work
