Abstracts 1336 - 1339
PERIODICAL PUBLICATIONS (Cont'd)
Now is the time to renew and commence subscriptions, and no lady
apprized of the character of the work, should fail to forward her address
to Mr. T. H. Smead, Publisher of the GUIDE, Ohio City. (3)
1336 - H&G Apr. 23: 2/1 - BUCKEYE PLOW-BOY. The fifth number of this
valuable agricultural paper, and the first number published in this
city, has been laid on our table. Dr. Fry has removed to the vicinity
of Cleveland, and intends to combine practical farming and horticulture.
The PLOW-BOY is improved by the change, and we wish him a long career
of usefulness. Terms only fifty cents a year, in advance. Office, No.
13, Miller's Block, Superior st. up stairs. (verbatim) (1)
1337 - H&G May 1; ed:2/2 - The PESTALOZZIAN, devoted to the improvement
of Common Schools, is the title of a neat semi-monthly paper just commenced
at Akron, Ohio, by S. L. Sawtell & Co. edi ted by H. K. Smith,
and S. L. Sawtell.
"The ti tIe indicates the character of the work. and the number before
us is in earnest of its future usefulness. We commend the work to
parents, teachers, and the friends of education generally." (2)
1338 - H&G May 10; ed:2/1-4 - The first number of the HESPERIAN or
WESTERN MONTHLY MAGAZINE, edited by Wm. D. Gallagher, and Ottway
Curry. and published at Columbus by John D. Nichols, is before us.
Though not, in all respects what we could wish, or what in our view a
Western Monthly should be, it is quite respectable and deserves a welcome.
We extract the opening paragraphs and that portion which treats
of the internal improvements of Ohio.
"Let the HESPER IAN be sustained by the literary talent of western
writers and by the patronage of western readers, and it will become one
of the first Magazines in the country.
"We recommend such as can afford the subscription to remit the price
without delay. They will receive an ample equivalent. The HESPERIAN,
we believe, will be better adapted to the taste and wants of the west
than eastern magazines, which are liberally patronised here, can be.
"Let it not be the reproach of western readers that they permitted such
a periodical to decline and die for want of sustenance." (59)
1339 - H&G May 14; ed:2/3 - "But yesterday the fertile territory beyond
Lake Michigan was only the hunting ground of the red man, and to-day the
whistling plough-boy turns up the lengthened furrow, and the husbandman
scatters the seed of hope. So wonderful are the mutations of the mighty
west!
"We have on our table two numbers of the WISCONSIN CULTURIST, a
semi-monthly agricultural paper from Milwaukie, W. T., edited by W. P.
Proudfit, and got up with a taste and spirit that would do credit to any of
the old eastern States. - Success to the CULTURIST, and the enterprising
settlers of the 'vast garden.'" (2)
