tour through those towns which border on

I" The import Of cotton into the king
dom in November, was s5,97i bags, con-
sisting Of s9ss bags from the u. States {:
966s Bengals, direct: 1880 ditto from
Rotterdam; 1887 Surats; 16,sls Brazils,
and 2442 other sorts.
The years supply therefore will e.-
coed what was expected when we wrote
our circular Of the 9TH ult. by the whole
import Of December, but what that may
be We have not any means of judging,
though it is expected that it will be very
uncomfortable. The export in November
was only 1000 bags. The dealers and
spinners refrained from buying, except
in small quantities, till they could not
stay out OF the market any longer, and
between the. elst and asth ult. IS 900
bags were sold in the three seaports.-
The effect OF this system was TO reduce
the prices Of all sorts Of cotton, except
sea islands, I'D to I'd per ID. and had

HUNTING.-On Friday the 4th inst.

ships, formed hunting party. The sig
nal for the proceeding was given Oh the
Freuchtown mountain, which was answer
ed by all the horns of the hunters, COM
prising circuit of 40 miles, in the space
Of Is minutes. The hunters then pro-
crossed towards centre in Wysox town
ship; shooting and driving the game be-
fore them, until the circle became too
small to use guns with safety; the animals
were then attacked with bayonets fixed on
poles, clubs, pitch-forks, &c. with such
success that nearly 800 deer, 5 bears, 9
wolves, and II foxes we're killed. Itwas
calculated that 500 deer, 10 bears, and
90 wolves escaped, together with great
humber of smaller animals. The expedi-
ton was attended with circumstances
highly interesting to hunters; and closed,
as usual, with great mirth.

Copy Of a letter from Charles Borland, .jr,
Esq. Attorney at Lam, Post Master,
and Inspector Of Common Schools, at
Montgomery, to the Editor. Dated
December 5, 1918.
Dear Sir--I have just had the pleasure
of perusing the Juucnite Assistant; or a
plain and easy introduction to arithmetic ::
BY Luther Pratt.
/ am much pleased with this little book,
and hope it will speedily find its way into
our juvenile schools. The young begin
ner stands in need of system more adap-
ted to his tender years, than those which
have heretofore been in use. MIR. Pratt
has, think, gone far in his attempt to
illustrate and simplify the first rules Of
Arithmetic. His manner of presenting his
questions, and explaining the rules by
which they are performed, is plain and
simple, and happily adapted to the capa-
cities of young minds. In short, have
no doubt, that if the public attention car
be directed to this little work, it vii
speedily find successful introduction into
our common schools.
Be pleased to accept of my high con-
sideration, and believe me,
Yours, &c. C. BORLAND, jun.
