PREMIUMS TO JYEW SUBSCRIBERS !l
LEONARD SCOTT & CO.,

Continue to publish the following British Periodicals!
. viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW (Conserva-
tive,)
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig,)
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW (Free-Church.'1
THE WESTMINISTER REVIEW (Liberal,)
and
( BLACKWOOD'S EDINGBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory,
Although these works are distinguished bythepo-
liticalshades above indicated, yet but a small portior
of their contents is devoted to political subjects. It is
their literary character which gives them their cbie.s
value, and in that they stand confessedly far above all
other journals of their class. Blackwood, still undet
the masterly guidance of Christopher North, main-
tains its ancient celebrity, and is, at this time, unusu-
ally attractive, from the serial works of Bulwer ano
othorlilerary notables, written for Great Britian and
in the United States. Such works as "The Caxtons'"
and "My New NoW'.' (both by Bulwer), "My Pe
ninsular Medal," "The Green Hand," and other se
rials, of which numftous rival editions are issued by
the leading publishers iu this country, have to be re-
printed by those publishers from the pag-es of Black-
wood, after it has been tssued by Messrs. Scott $
Co., so that Subscribers to the Reprint of that Maga-
zine may always rely on having the earliest reading
of these fascinating tales.
These Reprints have now been in successful opera-
tion in this country for twenty years, and their circu-
lation is constantly on the increase notwithstanding
the competition they encounter from American peri-
odicals of a similar class, and from numerous Eclec-
tics aud Magazines made up of selections from foreign
periodicals. This fact shows clearly the high estima-
tion in which they are held by the intelligent reading
public, and affords a guarantee that they are estab-
lished on a firm basis, and will be continued without
interruption.

A NEGRO man named ISAAC, belonging to
the undersigned, escaped from his home at
the mouth of the Trinity River on the nigbtof
the 17th inst.s carrying -with him various ar-
ticles of good clothing, a gun, large knife, and,
it is believed , a revolver., v4e also took a
skiff boat, and it is supposed has gone in the
direction of Houston, with the intention of pro-
ceeding toward the neighborhood of Round
Top. in Washington county, where he former-
ly lived. Ho was purchased by the undersign-
ed of Major Scranton, in Houston, who sold him
as the agent of a Mr. Robertson, near Round
Top Isaac is young, of a dark color,broad shoul-
ders, muscular, gigantic*1^ form,weighing over
two hundred pounds, very .strong, and as re-
splute and daring as he is powerful. His eyes
are peculiar, being savage in expression, with
the skin on the eyelids hanging loosely above
the eyes. It is believed that he was instigated
to run away by white persons, as he has always
been treated with great kindnes, and there are
other strong reasons for the belief.
One hundred dollars reward will be given for
the delivery of the man into any jail of the
State. so# that he comes into the possession of
the undersigned, and five hundred dollarffwill
be paid for the apprehension and conviction of
the instigators.
The Galveston, Houston," Washington,

will ptease publish the above until forbid, and
forward their accounts. T. J. CHAMBERS,

also City and State Public Committees on Public Buildings.]
We have more than twenty-five hundred references, many of
•vhom are professional gentlemen, whose scientific attainment)
in such -natters are well known. To attain the desirable ob-
ject, the inventor ofthi« Furnace first abandoned the manufac-
ture of the common frail hot-air fnrnaces seven years since, un-
der the conviction that red bol iron furnaces burn the oxygen
out of the air, producing an unhealthy, scorching, disagreeable
odor, unfit to be inhaled by human beings ; besides the constant
cracking and burning out of the pots, which permits the poison-
ous gashes to escape and mingle with the air; and'then the annoy-
ance and ex|>ense of repairs, new pots, &c. He now has the
satisfaction of k. owin'that his efforte to secure a healthful
economical and durable apparatus, for thoroughly Warming
and Ventilating buildings, has been entire!? successful.' They
possess the following advantages : purity of air, powerful heat-
ers. economical plan for burning anthracite, bituminous coals or
wood, all equally well—flues easily cleared out—great durabili-
ty of furnace, not liable to repairs for a life-time ; perfect safety

in this country. As to its fidelity we refer to the letters of the
adopted son of Washington, George Washington Park Custis,
who suys, " it is a faithful representation of the celebrated origi
nal," anil to Chief Justice Taney, uf, t{ie Supreme Court of the
United States, who says, "As a work of art its excellence and
beauty mu-t strike everv one who sees it: and it is no less happy
in its likeness to the Father of his country. It was my good for-
tune to have seen him in the~duys of my boyhood, and his whole
appearance is yet strongly impressed upon my memory. The
portrait you have issued appears to me to be an exact likeness,
representing perfectly the expression as well osthe form and fea-
tures of the face." And says Senator Cass, it is a life like rep-
resentation of the great original. President Fillmore, says,
" the work appears to me to have been admirably executed and
eminently worthy of the patronage the public. Says Marchant
the eminent portrait painter, and the pupil of Stuart, " your print
to my mind is more remarkable than auv other 1 have seen, for
presenting the whole individuality of the original portrait, to-
gether with the noble and dignified repose oT air and manner,
which all wh > ever saw him considered a marked characteri tic
of the illustrious man i commemorates."
For the great merits of this picture we would, refer every lover
of Washington, to the portrait itself, and to the letters
of the following Artists, Statesmen, Jurists,
and Scholars accompanying it.

ECLECTIC SERIES.
Best and Cheapest School Books ever Published.
The ECLECTIC SERIES of School Books was
projected by that well known friend and advocate of popular
Education, Professor William H. M1 Gvffcy, of the University
of Virginia,, whose life has been spent in the West and South,
where his active labors ss a judicious instructor have gained
him the approbation of all lovers of a sound, practical and
progressive Education. The Beading Books bearing his name
nave been proved, by actual trial, antl are now more extensively
i sed thaii others, and are daiiy receiving the adopt'on and ap-
proval of ihe most, intelligent and discriminating teachers of the
and.
E3T Professor PIJfJ\"EO, author of ths Grammars, for ten
years a Professor in Charlotte Hall Institute, Maryland has fur-
nished in the Grammars bearing his name, what are regarded
by all who have examined them, as model text books of the
English Languege.
2^" Professor RA Y, from Wood County, Virginia, one of
the inoft able Mathematicians and practical instructors in the
country,"has supplied what has long been much needed—a sim-
ple, progressive,and thorough series of Text Books on ARITH-
METIC and ALOEBRA.
READING AND SPELLING-BOOKS.
McGuffey's Eclectic Primer, for little children,
do do Spelling Book, for Primary
and common schools.
McGuffey's Eclectic First Reader; lessons in spel-
ling and reading for the younger pnpils.

vanced classes, elegant extracts in prose and poetry.
McGuffey's Fifth Reader; (Rhetorical Guide) a
a rhetorical guide for the highest classes.
The Hemans Reader, for FemaU Seminaries;
elegant extracts in prose and poetry.
0"The above spelling and reading books'have few
equals and no superiors; which is evinced by the fact
lhat in schools where they were.for a time, superced-
ed by the novelty of other books, McGuffey's have
beeu re-adopted, to the exclusion of all others, expe-
rience having proved their grsater practical utility in
the school-room ; and in view of the large amount of
,matter they contain, and the low prices at which they
are sold, they are very inuch cheaper than any.other
similar works.
ENGLISH GRAMMAR. -
Pinneo's Primary Grammar, onvthe analytic me-
thod ; a complete work for beginners'in the study.
Pinneo's AnUaly tical Grammar; a full and complete
treatise, for academies and schools.
Pinneo's English Teacher, in which is tanght tl\e
structure of seutsnces by analysis and synthesis ; an
admirable work on the analysis of English sentences.
(CF Professor Pinneo's new worksjare model class
books on the subject of English Grammar. This study
usually dry, and'uninteresting to learners, is render-
ed in these volumes attractive and interesting. They
are strikingly simple, progressive and thorough in
their plan and arrangemeut, and enable pupils to be-
come good grammarians. They are the cheapest
works of the kind published.
ARITHMETIC.
Ray's Arithmetic, part first ; simple lessons for the
little learners.
Ray's Arithmetic part second ; a complete text
book i mental arithmetic, by induction anckanalycis.
Ray's Arithmetic, part third ; for schools and aca-
demies ; a full and complete treat;se on the inductive
and analytic methods ofinstruction.
U"Numerous and skillful instructors regard the
Arithmetics of Professor Ray as the most simple pro-
gressive, methodical and thorough class books on the
subject, ever before offered to American teachers;
and they are at least twenty per cent, cheaper than
other Arithmetics of like size, and of an equal amount
of matter. These volumes are the result of a prac-
tical experience in teacning; and they are prepared
in compliance with the solicitation of many friends of
education, who were cognizant of the marked success
of their author as an Instructor.
algebra;
Ray's Algebra, part first; for common schools and
academies; a simple, progressive, and elementary
treatfse.
Ray's Algebra, part second ; for advanced students
in Academies, and for colleges ; a progressive, Incid,
and comprehensive work.
The great excellence of Ray's Arithmetics war-
anted the expectation that an Algebra by the same
author would be au improvement ou all similar tfea-
tises. Ray's Algebra has the approbation of the-most
judicious educators, and is superseding all others in
many of the best schools in the United States.
CP Each part of the Arithmetical Course, as well
as the Algebraic, is a complete book in itself, and is
sold separately.
All the foregoing books have been compiled express-.,
ly for the Eclectic Educational Series. Their au
thors are practical teachers—men of acknowledged
ability and learning, who have long been identified
with, and have constantly labored for the advance-
ment of the cause of education. The several books
embraced in this series are admitted, because of their
'merit, the excellent style of their manufac'ure, and
the quantity of matter contained in them, to be the
cheapest class books published in the United States.
In Virginia, Maryland, Carolina, Kentucky, Ten-
nessee, Geoigia, Alabama, Louisiana and other stater,
the entire Eclectic series is being adopted in the best
schools, iu preference to other books. In Texas they
are being adopted as an excellent, economical, and
uniform Series of class books.

Dr S. P. Townsend's SarnpariUa is a tmtKfiA aoi
speedy euro for ,Incipient Consumption, Prampmn
Uteri, Costiveness, Piles, LenoorriHW, and for A*
general prostration of the system—00 matter whether
the result of inherent cause or causes, produced by
irregularity, illness, or accident. Nothing ean be
more surprising than its invigorating eiw§ on te
human fcame. Persons all weakness and lassitude,
soon become robust and full of energy under its in-
fluence. It immediately counteracts the uetielees
ness of the female frame, which is the great earne of
Barrenness. It will not be expected of us, in eases
of so delicate a nature, to exhibit certificates ef cures
performed, but we can assure the afflicted, that hun-
dreds of cases have been reported to us. Thousands
of cases where families have been without children,
after using a few bottles of this invaluable me
have been blessed with fine healthy ofipring.

It is the safest and most effectual medicine for pu-
rifying the system, and relieving the sufferings
ant upon childbirth ever discovered. It
both the mother and child, prevents pain and i
increases and enriches the food—those who have
used it think it indispensable. It is highly useful
both before and after confinement, as it prevents dis-
eases attendant upon childbirth—in Costiveness, FiW%
Cramps, Swelling of the feet, Despondency, Heart-
burn, Vomiting, Pain in the Back and Loins, False
Pains, Hemorrhage, and in regulating the secretions
and equalizing the circulation, it-has no equal. The
great beauty of this medicine is, it is always safe, and
the most delicate use it most successfully, very few
cases require any other medicine, in some a little
Castor Oil, or Magnesia, is useful. Exercise in the
open air, and light food with this medicine, wiH always
ensure a safe and easy confinement
