Singular Occurrence.?The Alleghany En
terprise tells of a singular occurrence which took
place a day or two sinoe, at the house of Mr.
Conlin, on the Franklin road, about fourteen
miles out. A young girl of genteel appearance
entered the houBe with an infant in her arms,
and asked for a drink, upon which Mrs. C.
started to the spring for fresh water, leaving an
infant of her own in the cradle. On her return
the stranger had very mysteriously departed,
and in about an hour afterwards she discovered,
to her horror and surprise, that her own child
had been taken from the cradle, and a colored
one left in its place. Nothing had been heard j
from them since.
To Parents.?Boys that have been properly
reared are men in point of usefulness at sixteen,
while those that have been brought up in idle
habits are a nuisance at twenty-one.
Lay it down as a rule never to smile, nor in
any way show approval of merriment, at any
trait in a child which you should not wish to
grow with its growth, and strengthen with its
strength.
The Court of Queen's Bench, in Canada, has
decided in relation to mutual insurance compa
nies organized in the United States, that such
companies cannot legally carry on their opera
tions in the British Provinces; that they can
not maintain any action against parties on the
premium notes; neither could parties compel
payment from them on their policies.

LEVERETT'S LATIN LEXICON,
ENLARGED AND IMPROVED, compiled chiefly from
the Magnum Totius Latliiitatia lexicon at Facclolati |
and Forcelllni, and the German work* of Bcheller and Lue
nemann, embracing, also, the classical distinctions of 1
words, and the Etymological Index from Freund'a Lexi- ]
eon.
The present edition of this standard and favorite Latin
Lexicon lias been much improved by the transfer to its
columns of the classical distinctions of Latiu words, as
given in the Lexicon of Dr. Wm. Freund, of Germany,
and translated by Riddle. The classical degree of each
word Is Indicated by a figure; for example, a word without
a figure la fully classical and Ciceronian; with, the figuref
1, 2, and 3, words are classical only in the first, sec
ond, Ac., degrees; and this distinction the student per
ceives at a glance. The Etymological Index, also from
Freund's Lexicon, has been incorporated into the present
edition of Loverett, and will be found a valuable acquisi
tion. While transferring these notes and marks, cat.v
logues were carefully kept of the words found in each
Lexicon, which were not found in the other. On compar
ing these catalogues, It was found that the value and im
portance of the additional words found In Levcrett, so far
as a knowledge of the Latin language Is concerned, very
far exceeds that of those found in Riddle's Freund. The
extensive use of Leverett's Lexicon in all parts of the
country, aud the preference which has Uwn universally
given to it over all similar works, render its recommends
tion superfluous; but attention to this new edition is
respectfully invited, as being still inore worthy than its
predecessors of the distinguished favor which the work
has hitherto received.

Mr. Robert Sean?Dear Sir: 1 have looked over the en
1 tire series of your valuable publications with much In
j terest and profit; and am quite surprised at the amount
of literary labor you have performed, and tho research It
' must have cost you to obtain so many fine illustrations,
| while you have an active superintendence of an extensive
business. I am also gratified at the decidedly moral and
| religious Influence which vour books will exert, and can
not but hope that they will do much to counteract the
j effects of that light and immoral literature which deluges
j the land, and, like the frogs of Egypt, comes up even to
I the kneading troughs of our kitchens. May yon live long
to follow your plans.
Respectfully and sincerely, yonr obliged servant,
