CHILSON'S
WORLD'S FAIR PRIZE MEDAL
This Patent Furnace, as recently improved, far sur-
passes all other modes of warming and ventilating public
and private buildings, in the known world, it being in
extensive use throughout the United States, and the
Canadas, British Provinces, and other foreign countries.
We have more than 5,000 references, many of them from
gentlemen of high scientific attainments, which give
ample proof of the superiority of this Furnace over any

Any intelligent mind cannot, fail to see the wonderful econ-
omy in the consumption of fuel by this Invention, over the
common Portable Furnaces. Immediately after the fire is
kindled in the morning, the damper in the smoke pipe is
closed for the day ; when the only escape for the heated
smoke and gases is through the continuous tapering trunk,
or radiator, terminating in the smoke pipe,— which is re-
duced to a small vent of two inches in diameter.
The heated smoke and gases are thus compressed into the
whole circuit of the trunk, and become wholly exhausted by
radiation. The consequence is, that the formerly wasted
fuel, which was lost hy passing off in smoke and gases in a
crude or unconsumed state, is here made available for gen-
erating heat.
Warranted a Paving in Fuel of Fifty Per Cent, over any
other Portable Furnace in the known world.

THE
TRIO STOVE
embodies the same val-
uable principles com-
bined in the Portable Furnace. We think no prudent per-
son will use stoves, as they have formerly been constructed,
after becoming acquainted with this invention.
We obligate ourselves to prove, to the satisfaction of all, a
saving of Fifty Per Cent, in Fuel, not only by seeing the
stove in operation, but by a large number of the best testi-
monials that can be written.
As usual we offer a full assortment of

the chief duties and responsibilities will continue to be performed

•promised from many of the leading physicians of Boston, and it
will continue to receive contributions from eminent members of

These improved Machines are rapidly coming into general
favor, and acknowledged to be the ONLY machines adapted to
family use. The beauty and durability of their stitching are un-
rivalled, working equally well on fine cambric, quilting.and heavy
broadcloth.
The rapid and noiseless operation of these machines is an ad-
vantage possessed by no other, while their simplicity of con-
struction renders them easier of use, besides being less liable to
get out of repair, — an objection reasonably urged against all other
machines. To Families, Shirtmakers, Tailors, Milliners, &c,
one of these machines is invaluable.

THE PHYSIOLOGY OF MARRIAGE.
BY A MAERIED MAN AND DISTINGUISHED PHYSICIAN,
PRICE, 75 CENTS.
It is one of the most remarkable books which has been published in any country. In language sim-
ple, decorous and respectful, and in terms of fatherly kindness, it reveals to the young of both sexes, a
fund of information, chiefly inaccessible in any reliable form, and for want of which, many have been
prompted to resort to sources either of questionable authority or immoral tendency. The work is written
by one of our oldest and most experienced medical men, who has devoted a long life to the study of
Physiology. The work was examined in manuscript by competent judges, and pronounced to be as
unexceptionable as any work which has appeared in the English language. It breathes, moreover, a
truly Christian spirit. The following, briefly, are its contents :
Chap. 1. The True Relation of the Sexes.
Chap. 2. Premature Marriage and its Conse-
quences.
Chap. 3. Errors of Education.
Chap. 4. Errors of Courtship.
Chap. 5. Individual Transgression and its Pen-
alties.
Chap. 6. Social Errors and their Punishment.
Chap. 7. Physicial Laws of Marriage.
Chap. 8. A Fundamental Error.
Chap. 9. The Laws of Pregnancy.
Chap. 10. Crime without a name.
Chap. 11. The Laws of Lactation.
Chap. 12. A crime that ought not to be named.
Chap. 13. Directions to Parents and Guardians.
Chap. 14. General Directions.
This Book is destined to produce a Physiological Revolution in this country. It will have an im-
mense sale, because it concerns us all, both male and female.
The Editor of the " Evening Traveller," Boston, uses the following strong language in noticing it : —
" The Physiology of Marriage. — By an old Physician, 16mo, 259 pages. John P. Jewett & Co. A
book that should be read by every man and woman in the land — married or unmarried. It treats of
topics of vital interest, but of which not one in a thousand knows anything ; who, in consequence of
thoughtless ignorance, more than wilful sinfulness, violate the laws of health, and even life ; bring upon
themselves suffering and woe, and upon their offspring enfebled constitutions, disease and early death.
These topics are of a delicate and difficult character, and for this reason good men who were capable of
treating them have avoided them. But every reader of ' The Physiology of Marriage,' unless utterly
perverted in his tastes and imagination, will admit, on reading these pages, that the ' old physician' has
dealt with these important topics as an aged father would be likely to do when addressing a beloved
child. His instructions and counsels are so plain that none need mistake them, while there is nothing in
them to minister to a perverted and prurient taste."

MASSACHUSETTS MILITIA.
[Corrected in January, 1856.]
The Militia of Massachusetts is divided into two classes, the active and enrolled ; the
latter consists of all " able-bodied white male citizens of the age of eighteen years, and
under that of forty-five, excepting persons enlisted into volunteer companies, and persons
exempted by law, or incapacitated by physical and other causes." [See sec. 5, Militia
Law.] The whole number enrolled in 1855, as appears from the Returns of Assessors
of cities and towns, (whose duty it is to make such returns), is 141,192, being an in-
crease of 5,971 over last year.
The Active Militia consists of Volunteers, who are paid a per diem allowance when on
duty, amounting, in the whole, to $9 per annum, each man of the Artillery, Infantry
and Riflemen, and $18 each for Cavalry. They consist, by the returns of 1855, of
about 7000 men. These are organized into three Divisions and six Brigades, embracing
two Divisionary Corps of Cadets, one Company of Light Artillery, five Companies of
Cavalry, and twelve Regiments and one Battalion of Infantry, and two Battalions of
Riflemen — in all, 108 companies.
The first division is made up of Militia in Suffolk, Norfolk, Plymouth, Bristol, Barns-
table, Nantucket, and Dukes counties; the second, of Militia in Middlesex and Essex ;
the third, of Militia in Worcester, Hampshire, Hampden, Franklin, Berkshire.

RAILROADS.
Previous to January 1, 1855, there had been Acts of Incorporation granted to sixty-
four Railroads in Massachusetts, with an aggregate capital of sixty-one millions five
hundred and five thousand and one hundred dollars. Fifty-four of these roads were in
operation, and their construction had cost over sixty-five millions. They had an aggregate
length of track of fourteen hundred and fifty-three miles ; of double track, two hundred
and eighty-two miles ; and of branches, over one hundred and thirty miles. The greatest
speed adopted by passenger trains on any of these roads was twenty-eight miles per hour,
but the usual speed was about twenty-three miles. The total expense of working these
roads for the year 1854 was near seven millions of dollars; their net earnings for the same
time about three and one-half millions ; and amount of dividends declared, two and one
quarter millions.
Eighty-three persons were injured by accidents ; seventy-two, fatally.
At the session of the General Court in 1855, eight other railroads were incorporated
as follows : Lexington and Chelmsford R. R. Co., West Stockbridge Branch R. R. Co.,
Waltham & Watertown R R. Co., Cambridgeport R. R. Co., Milford and Woonsocket
R. R. Co., Medford and Charlestown R. R. Co., Union Railway Co., Independent Line
between Boston and Lowell. For other legislation in 1855 with regard to Railroads,
see abstracts of acts passed by last Legislature, commencing on page 17 of this book.

HISTORICAL AND COMMEMORATIVE ASSOCIATIONS.
American Antiouarian Society, Worcester.
Incorporated, 1812. The American Anti-
quarian Society, established for the purpose of
collecting and preserving the materials of his-
tory, mure especially of 'American History, was
incorporated by the Legislature of Massachu-
setts, in 1812.
Isaiah Thomas, the distinguished Printer and
Publisher, and author of " The History of
Printing in America," was the first President,
and has been the greatest benefactor of this
institution. A brick edifice for the Library
and Cabinet, erected at his expense, was com-
pleted in 1820. His private collection of
books, which was a very considerable one, be-
came the basis of the Library. Extensive ad-
ditions were made to the building after his
death, from resources provided by his will ;
and the principal portion of the funds of the
Society, now amounting to more than $28,000,
resulted from his bequests.
In April, 1853, the collections were removed
to a new building, erected on land presented
by Hon. Stephen Salisbury, who also contri-
buted $5,000 to the cost of the edifice, the
whole expense of which was about $18,000.
The Library of the Society now exceeds
23,000 volumes. Its cabinet contains many ar-
ticles of curiosity and interest; and its manu-
scripts, coins, &c, are of considerable value.
Two volumes of Transactions, and a catalogue
of the Library, have been published ; and a
third volume of Transactions is in preparation
for the press, Part I having been printed.
There are two meetings of the Society in
the year; one at Worcester, on the 21st day
of October, in commemoration of the discov-
ery of America by Columbus, the other in
Boston, on the last Wednesday of April.
There are also monthly meetings of the Coun-
cil at Worcester.
A fund of $5,000 has recently been es-
tablished by Hon. Stephen Salisbury, the in-
come of which is to be employed for bindin»
books and pamphlets.

This institution originated in a conviction
that the interests of Congregationalism, and
of Christianity in general, would be advanced
by collecting into one accessible place whatever
printed or manuscript memorials of the New
England Fathers are yet extant, and also such
documents of the present age as will be of
historical value in the ages to come. It was
organized in Boston on the 12th of February,
1851. The enterprise, however, was conducted
on a comparatiaely small scale, till, by a re-
organization in May, 1853, its privileges were
extended to the whole body of Evangelical
Congregationalists throughout the continent,
and their co-operation invited.

struggle.

During the year the following 36 new pub-
lications have been stereotyped in English,
German, Spanish, Dutch, Danish, and Swe-
dish, of which 1 1 are volumes ; making the
whole number of publications now on the So-
ciety's list 1,948, of which 408 are volumes of
larger or smaller size. Besides these, the
Committee have approved to be issued at for-
eign stations, 87 publications, including 20 vol-
umes; making the whole number now ap-
proved for publication abroad, 2,972, of which
302 are volumes.
Eighteen colporteurs, including two volume
agents, have been employed during the year,

They have visited 22,086 families, of which
4,359 neglect public worship; 1,431 were des-
titute of religious books except the Bible ; and
