Book Notice.

By Editor

ON our table is a copy of the "Autobiography of Lorenzo Waugh." We have read this book with a good degree of pleasure, more, perhaps, because we have been permitted to form an acquaintance with the author. "Father Waugh," as he is familiarly called, is seventy-four years of age. He entered the ministry of the Methodist Church at an early age, and has devoted his life to the work of the gospel. We feel much drawn toward him because we find him a genial old gentleman, a great lover of children, and an earnest opposer of tobacco. The book was written for children, and on this ground we can excuse the taste manifested in the illustrations. The "cuts" will doubtless please the children; we cannot suppose they were inserted for any other purpose. It is got up in good style, both in printing and binding.

The book is full of interesting incidents, and we trust will find a ready sale. It may be had of the author at Petaluma, or of the Methodist Depository in San Francisco; it may also be procured at this office. Price, $1.25; four copies for $5.00.
