the pork trade, for week ending 9th inst,
at 81 $40 hogs, against 362,79l last sea-

Pork in New Yor!!; has declined fully
62k cents per barrel for mess. Prime

on account of the small quantity, really
brought higher figures. Mess sold at
$11, ,87@l2 SO, while prime, uninSpected
country brought $l2, and prime mess
$14Ol2,55. These figures we presume
are for old pork. New mess had not
come forward. Eastern packed might

UNITED STATES MINT, 1854.--The Cd.
erations of the Mint at Philadelphia for
the month of December, and for the year
1854, have been made up. They show
that the deposits of gold for the month
was $4.856,000, and for the year $37,-
371-929. The silver bullion and silver
purchased for the month of December,
amounted to $25O,0O0. The gold coin
age for December was SO, SO, ,293, much
the greater part of it being in double ca
giles. The silver coinage, nearly all in
quarter dollar pieces, amounts to $41O.-
1870. Total gold and silver deposits for
December IS, 1865 600. The total of pie
ces coined during the month is S11e,5l9.
The total of gold deposits at the Mint
for the past three years is as follows: In
1852, deposited ISL ,066, go f; in 1858,
deposited $53, 848, 900, in 1854, deposi-
ted $37,371,929. During the month of
December, while the large receipts of gold
were coming in, no specie was exported,
so that the country is richer by nearly five
millions, than it was a month ago. The
entire net exports of specie for the year,
from all parts, have been about $43, 900,
900. The entire production of California
gold has been about $53O0O,O00, al
though but $37,371,929 has found its
way to the Philadelphia Mint Still it is
calculated that the amount of money in
the United States is greater by about ten
millions than it was at the beginning Of
1854.

tho law of last winter that money could not
have been drawn.
Our REPRESENTATIVES, had they endangered
.bo massage of the act, would not have Teen
c,;tLfrl TO the interests of their constituents
We presume it never entered the mind of any
.,or in Bradford, when this law was passed,
that it affected this County. The School
n;rcctor's Convention had fixed the salary at
s5oO which was quite as liberal as most of
,bo Counties. The increase of the salary we
,,ormlv opposed. We considered it uncalled
far and unjustifable. 1t has destroyed the
efficiency of the Office in Bradford and created
. nreiudice which years cannot eradicate. But
a. attcm,t to hold our Representative RESPONSE
ro for that increase, is not warranted by the
f.rts. In the first place they supported the
I'LL allowing the School Directors to abolish
tbe office, if they saw proper, This having
hoou vetoed, they would have been doing wrong
"a incorporate in another bill a provision of
tho same character, which would only result in
having it vetoed.
The law of last winter, in itself is not OBJ
rovious to any ccnsurc. Any privilege of the
kind it confcrs, however right in itself, may be
ohuscd If the Directors of certain counties
wished to increase the salary, it was right they
sbould have the privilege. BY the eighth sec
t;on the whole matter was left in the hands of
fine School Directors. Although an undue adj
vantage has been taken in Bradford, we be-
Iicve they are competent to attend to the School
interests of the County. We publish the Sth
section. that our readers may see how much
care was taken that the privilege should not
be abused.

schools, on the contrary the fact forces itself
upOn our attention, that since our County
Superintendent entered upon the duties of his
Office our comma schools have experienced a
rapid and alarming decline.
Reso[red, That the laborer is worthy his
hire" and we are in favor of paying just and
liberal wages to all who serve Us, whether in
a public or private capacity, in order that we
may secure the services of able competent
men but the increase of our County Supcrin-
tendent'S salary from five to fifteen hundred
dollars per annum, was, on the part of that
officer a "big strike" and on the part of those
school directors who voted so to increase, is
either Il beautiful specimen of being generous
of other peoples money, or a certain proof
that they are firm believers in the celebrated
dogma that the money comes from nOnchere.
Rescired, That as our County is one of great
geographical extent, containing a large num-
Der of schools to be visited, and in considera-
ton of the distance our township is situated
from the residence of the County Superinten-
dent, thereby subjecting him, in his visits, to a
tedious journey, and much peril, from SNOW
storms and drcnchings, we have concluded that
it would be but an act Of simple justice and
charity, to relinquish onr claim to any portion
OF his future services, that might be due our
township, in favor Of those townships, whose
school directors voted to increase his salary to
fifteen hundred dollars. 1t being apparent
that his laborS there must be more needed and
better appreciated than here.
On motion it was Rcsoircd, That the pro-
ccedings of this meeting be published in the
county papers.
On motion the meeting adjourned.

PASSMORE WILLIAMSON.

During the session of 1917, Col. PIoLErT
was a member of the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture. and voted for a law which makes q slave
free. when voluntarily brought by his master
into this Commonwealth. Yes, Col. PIoLETr,
the pro-Slaycry dough-face of the present day,
was then a pcstilent abolitioniSt, for he voted
to remove the last relic Of Slavery from our
statute books.
In July last, PAssMoRE WILLIAMSON, the
Secretary of the active committee Of a S0cie-
" Incorporated in 1892 by the Pennsylvania
Legislature for the "amelioratiOn Of the condi-
ion of free persons unlawfully held in bondage"
the first President which was that other abol.-
ZIONIST Benz. Franklin, was informed that Il
colored woman and three children, were at the
Walnut Street wharf, being in the State of
Pennsylvania. Believing that they were " un-
lawfully held in bondage" according to the
law passed by PIoLErT and his colleagues,
WILLIAMSON proceeded to the wharf, found the
woman, told her she was free, and she desiring
her freedom, was, with her children, put into
a carriage by some persons of her own color,
and driven off. And thus ended WILLIANsoN's
connection with the matter, or knowledge of
her whereabouts.

directed to WILLIAMSON, requiring him to pro
ducc the body of said Jane and her children,
- -I.., H. l. L., 80 ,or -, L.,
possession, nor has ever had, the said Jane,
and consequently cannot produce her as re-
quired. In this he is ~adjudged justly of con-
tempt Of Court, and is committed to prison
without bail or maniprizc," there to remain
until he shall confess himself guilty of perjury,
in stating what was strictly true.

not appcrtaining to a Federal Judge-and
viewing it as another mOnstrouS stride III the

MORE WILLIAMSON before the people of the
State for their sufIrages, that in voting for him
they might rcbukc the judicial tyranny usurp-
ING such dangerous and unlimited power, and
testify their alarm at the aggrcssions daily
making by the Slave power upon the soil and
the rights of Frccmen.
We shall give him our vote with much
pleasure. We shall do it the more checrfully
because We have every assurance that he is
amply qualified for the Office of Canal Com
missioner, and we nave the certainty that he
can be no worse than those we have been vot-
ing for. We believe it would be fortunate for
The Commonwealth could the Board of Canal

At a public meeting held at the Sugar Run
School House, in Asylum on Saturday the
Sth day of Sept. 1888, called for the purpose
of dcvising the best means for the improve

not be condemned without a hearing in this

discussion the meeting adjourned for one week
to meet at the same place, at , O'Clock p. NJ
Saturday Sept. 18th. Meeting assembled
according to adjournment and the following
resolutions reported by the Committee, were
discussed and passed.
WHEREAS, In the opinion of this meeting
Education Is the cllCf corner stone of HcpuD
lican Institutions, and the grand bulwark of 4
nations defence against the encroachments Of
bigotry, superstition, ~despotism and vice
Therefore
Rcs0Ired, That it is u sacred and imperative
duty devolving upon the State to provide 10y
law. for the education of all the children living
with her borders, and that every good citizen
and especially parents, guardians and director:
should aid and encourage by every means il
their power, the progress of their important
essential work.
Rrsoired, That while we have ever been firm
friends and advocates of the Common Schoo
System of Pennsylvania, believing its provis
ions in the main, wise and s~alutary, we have
viewed the creation of the Office of County
Superintendent as a measure of doubtful bene
ft-an expensive experiment not called for by
the exigences of the times, nor the voice Of
the people of this Commonwealth.
Resotred, Though we do not expect a tree
to bear fruit in the year of its planting, YET
we do desire to see it exhibit some symptoms
of life and put forth some little buds, on which
to hang a hope of its future value but We
regret to say that for the past twelve months
We have looked in vain for the least promise
of renewed life and vitality III our common
