Advertising, A Moral Duty.

Some years ago, it was proposed by an
American Physician that members of the
Faculty should advertise their remedies and
modes Of treating diseases in the newspapers.
1t was bold and manly idea. II was scout
ed. however, by the profession generally, as
mira dig. But is there any degradation in
publicity Is it not rather the great touch
stone that ties pretension and universities
the practical benefits of all valuable inventions
aud discoveries Should not a profession
that aims al the mitigation of suffering and
the preservation of life, make the means Of
obtaining these. grand objects known through
the channel Of Information most accessible TO
all classes and conditions-the columns Of
the public press! If it declines TO do So, the
natural inference is either, that the desire of
secresy arises from sordid, monopolizing,
cgoiistic spirit, or from a lack Of faith in its
own prescriptions. ... ... .-.
Viewing the subject in this light, we may
presume, Professor Holloway, some twenty
years ago, overleaped the barriers which the
profession had erected between Itself and the
public, and plunged fearlessy into the news
paper arena. He had discovered, or rather
invented, after years of research and expert
ments, two preparations which he believed TO
NC sPccihcs lof nearly all tne uisedses oi inhh-
kind; and as an indication of his confidence
in them, and proof of his philanthropic wish
that, II really valuable, they should be acces-
sible TO the whole world, he advertised them
wherever advertising media consisted. This
was the severest ordea! 10 which he could
have submitted them-the e1perimenfnm cru
cis. He threw them at once, as II were, be-
fore the sick of all regions. He stated their
properties, proclaimed what they would do,
and staked reputation and fortune upon the
issue. The issue has been alt that he or the
world could have desired. The rich and the
poor, the learned and the ignorant, physicians,
statesmen, monarchs, nation of enlightened
freemen, have sanctioned, used, extolled them.
They are fired facts in medical history!
Is net this better than hiding light under
bushel Is it not better than writing pre-
scriptions in a dead language, and putting
weights and quantities into hierogiyphics.
lfanything is worth knowing, it rs worthy
Of being universally known. So thinking,
Holloway proclaimed the virtues of his med-
cines through the press; and fortune. fame

Wednesdays Market was much in

Wednesdays Market was much in
advance Of Saturday's-aud We look for a
still larger attendance, tomorrow, Of both
buyers and sellers.
In addition to the articles sold Saturday
We noticed dressed Chickens, Ducks, Tur-
keys, Mutton, Veal, and Milk. An over.
plus of Beef at to 10 cents.
Some 81 Apples aud stale Butter, ,unsoW.
Not half enough Pork for Christian peo,

We were told case of "forestalling"-
one dealer buying Of another to sell at an
advanced price. This works iujuriously to
both buyers and sellers, and if Necessary

Money Is Money,
at present, and will be for some months to
come. Prices Of produce are everywhere
declining, and although they may never
again reach the low figures recorded in the
first column, first page of days CAroni-
Gle, yet buyers and sellers in making up
their minds what prices to give and take,
must take into view the money market.
POttsville has been held to be one of
the best of markets. The following were
the wholesale prices last Saturday:
Wheat Flour $3.50; Rye $3.50; Wheat
1,20 to 80; Rye so; Corn 75; Oats 40;
Potatoes 80 Dried Peaches $50 to 4 !;
Dried Apples pared 2,20; Eggs Ii; Lard
l3; Butter II; Hams 10; Shoulders IS
MARKET H0URS.-It has been pro-
posed that all who have to sell should be
on the ground before sunrise, so that sales
may be effected and the Market considered
closed by Q o'clock. An earlier hour is
unnecessary and inconvcnient-th whole
business could be transacted within two
hours-and "the greatest good of the
greatest number" would in the end be
greatly promoted by rigid adherence to
certain hcurs-say from day Eyh TO atnc.

The Unemployed in New York.

The threats of personal violence uttered
by number of unemployed workingmen
at their meeting on Monday, do not appear
to have been idle or unmeaniDg. Iester
day morning, squalid troop of mon: old
women, boys, aud girls, tore down the
wooden rulings which surrounded Tomp-
kins Square, aud carried them of for ere
wood. Hammers aud axes were vigorous
ly piled to root up the posts which remain
ed fast in the ground, aad SO successfully
was the work accomplished, that, were it
not fer the. trees, the Square would now
present the appearance Of large va
cant lot Even the benches were carried
off. Another party encountered bakers
wagon in avenue Il, made an attack upon
it, and seized some fifty loaves. Many
articles were stolen from stores where they
were placed upon the sidewalk for show,
and general closing of stores of all kinds
was the necessary consequence throughOu:
that quarter of the city. Deputy Super
intendent Carpenter instructed the com.
manding officers of the different precints
not to withdraw the men stationed at the
polls, on any account whatsoever, and to
keep the rest Of their force in the station
houses, in readiness to be dispatched to
any quarter where their services might be
needed. The rowdyism which prevailed
to some extent in some portions of the
city, was looked upon as fcint to draw
the police away from the polls, and in con
sequence the spirit of lawlcssness spent it,
self for the want Of opposition to give zest
to its enjoyment.-N. T. Enquirer, 4M.
/ RELIGIOUS MEETINGs-The first of
series of Protestant Episcopal meetings
for humiliation and prayer, in considera-
! ton Of the business trials Of the times, was
he'd at ST. Philips church, Philadelphia,
OF Tuesday. A very large congregation
was assembled, and Rev. c. D. Cooper, DR..
Spear, Rev. Edward Lounsberry, Rev.
Kingston Goddard, and DIR. Newton par
ticipated in the interesting exercises. The
next meeting will be held at St. Paurs
