A MILITARY BOOM The report on our first page entitled a big military boom, should have appeared last week, but fur want of space it was crowd- ed out and where it says a meet ing will be held March 28th, should read April 3d, which is to morrow.

JOSEPH HOWARD'S “LIFE OF BEECHER.” - Joseph Howard, Jr., the widely known jounalist and intimate friend of Henry Ward Beecher for the past fifty years, isengaged up- on a life of the great Preacher and Orator, which will no doubt be the standard work, as Mr. Howard’s intimate relations with Mr. Beech- er, and his justly won popularity as awriter, are an assurance of a work of peculiar interest and value. We learn the work is to be brougbt out by Hubbard Bro, at an early day, and will no doubt be sold by subscription. JoSEPH HowARp Jr., well known for the past twenty five years asa brilliant and acceptable writer, is preparing a life of Henry Ward Beecher for publication by Hub bard Brothers. As Howatd’s fath- er was one of the three founders of Plymouth Chureh, and his most in- timate friend for more than forty years, with a social intercourse at no time interrupted, and as How- ard himself, by reason of bis public life, was brought into frequent con- tact with Mr, Beecher since his ear- ly boyhood, it is obvious that’ he ought to have and probly has ma- terial at his hand which is accessible to no other contemporaneous writ- er. The book is said to be well un- der way, and will be ready for the market early in May. Mr. Howard, by the way, was the author of the comprehensive and interesting obit- uary published in the New York Herald, the day after Mr, Beech- er’ death. the holy bonds of wedlock. Whether this is really true or not Tam not prepared to say. If it is, however, it is not generally known. If it is true, puzzles the will, and if not so, how such a report should become so current upon the streets, is iudeed very strange. If it is a fact, they have the best wishes ot the writer of this article, fur a happy aad pros— perous journey through lite. The many iriends of Mr. ‘Thom. as Scott, the undertaker and liv- ery stuble keeper, will doubtiess be pleased to know that he has re. fitted up his place of business and is now prepared to execute eral fine trotters to his stock of fine horses; these features with all orders with promptness and dispatch.
