Err The Gnzefte

For the Gazette.
Mr. Editor-Doubtless you would like to
lnow Yourself and to have your readers in
Hs,nrmad of the local news from different parts
~ the county, and as there is so little ordi-
~.r;Iy Of an exciting kind in our quiet valley
ne;ebborhood, feel like telling you of what
S;ttIs does occur worthy of notice. The sum-
r,sr ,r',, term of the Kishacoquillas Academy has
;nst closed. The examinations were very
Jcradtable both to the principals and teachers,
and 10 the pupils and the parents of the pu
nils nils and others in attendance seemed both in
tperested and pleased. So far as your cores
nopdeut is able TO Judge, this institute of
Is.rnins is favored with a learned and skill
fnI CORDS of teachers, and is a credit to the
neiChborheod in which it is located and
bepeft to our valley and county. One of the
interesting features in the closing exercises
Of the session, was the meeting of last night,
ot which the Rev. DIR. Junkin Of Holidays
burg delivered an address upon Education.
Il was listened to by IA crowded auditory with
f1ed and interested attention, being in the
Doctors usual happy vein, in which logic and
rleasantry we're effectively combined, and it
!. believed will do much good in the commu-
nity. and may stir up the people to renewed
interest in the important subject of education.
Our people are talking about the suspension
Of the banks, and other matters of public in
terest. but in the main we are pursuing the
even tenor of our way. SPECTATOR.

Philadelphia Cattle Market.

The receipts of beef cattle this week were
moderate, amounting TO about 1880 head
The demand was less active than last week
and a much larger number were left over
than for many weeks rast consequent upon
the unsettled state of the monetary affairs,
and the general distrust in regard to the fu-
ture. Prices 9ell off about 25c p 100, and
the market closed rather spiritless at So IS
for ordinary quality, up to 81 % for the best.
Cows were very dull, and prices hardly up
to those realized last week About 200 head
were offered and partly disposed of at the
following rates: Fresh cows. S35(040 dry
cows, l8(d35; Springers, 25(a35.
The arrivals and sales at Singers Union
Drove Yard for the week were, 1900 hogs,
and about so horses. Hugs were not quite as
brisk as last week, and sold from 50 to 9 so
r 100 lbs nett; about 500 were left unsold
At the close the tendency Of prices was eyi-
IDENTIFY in favor of buyers.
Flour, Grain. sc.
Breadstutfs continue to attract but little at
tention. The receipts of Flour are moderate,
but there is little or NO inquiry for export,
and mixed brands Of superfne are freely of
fered at So so q bbl, without finding buyers.
There is n steady inquiry for home use from
S5 80 to rs for common brands S6(a6 25
for extra, and Sc 50(q7 so for extra family
and fancy lots. Nothing doing in Rye Flour
or Corn Meal-the stocks are very much re-
duced, but there is no demand for either.
Grain-There is but little Wheat coming
forward, either by railroad or water, but the
supply is fully adequate for the demand, and
prices are somewhat unsettled and in favor OF
buyers. Sales of 1900 bu prime red at l30t
p bu, and white at 40; 700 bu good Della

With regard to the sentiments of Mr. Pur.

With regard to the sentiments of Mr.. Pur-
cell, the nominee of the American Republic
can party, they are known to- every one ss
recorded by his votes Id Harrisburg. where
he opposed every measure that in the least
favored the wasteful expenditure OF ear State
funds, whether to the advantage OF private
individuals or mammoth corporate companies,
while it is we'll known that that wing OF the
Democratic party who are in favor OF tins
enormous State loan to the Sunbury y Erie
R. r. Co. succeeded in nominating Tor AS
sembly the man of Metr choice, and that du-
ring the ratification meeting few weeks ago,
when the wing of this party who are opposed
to this extravagant and wanton 9tring o'cdy
of our State treasure, offered resolution
that a committee be appointed by that meet
ing to interregate DIR. Bower, their candidate,
and ask him to expre> his views unequivos
cally whether he was in favor of granting this
State loan to the aforesaid company and
whether he was in favor of the sale Uf the
Main Line, the State loan Democrats voted
down this resolution and virtually said, the
Doctor must play the Mum game this fall !;
we have selected him specially to obtain this
loan, and if the people know our design we
cannot elect him."
We hold that it is the duty Of every free
man to vote intelligently when subjects Of
grave Importance are to be decided, and as
the Democratic candidate has been known for
many years to CO operate with this dominant
wing of the Democratic party, and as he is
known to have been designated as their man
by this loan party for months before the
nomination, We charge that Dr. Bower is in
favor of this darling measure of these men,
and that he was nominated and is to be elec-
ted (if possible) expressly for the purpose of
this grand project-if not by
openly voting for it should he be elected, be-
cause that perhaps he could not now do, but
by absenting himself. or favoring it in other
ways. This is a fair inference-fair because
he will not give the taxpayers the pledge over
his signature, and fair from the company he
is in.

Suspension of specie Payments by Banks.

Suspension of specie Payments by Banks.
The periodical CONFUSION to which the
money market and the business of this
country seems to be subject, has been again
illustrated by the suspension of the banks
of this State and Maryland, which will prob
ably be followed by others. The suspen-
sions have come ut regular intervals of
twenty years, namely 1917, 1897, 1857.
The work in this instance was commenced
by the Bank Of Pennsylvania, an institu-
tion heretofore enjoying public confidence
in high degree, and generally regarded
as a democratic pet-its difficulties having
been caused it is said by two of its officers,
the President and Vice President, having
$500. 900 of its funds in their hands to
specutafe IN SRgor.' If this is true, the
Governor and Attorney General ought, if
law can be found; to spare no efforts to root
out the concern; and to do the same with
all others that may be found to have been
engaged in such neiarious transactions, for
in our opinion no baser use can be made of
the funds of public institution than spec
ulating in the neceSsarics of life The
country banks, finding that the brokers
and shayers were making arrangements to
draw out their specie, wisely concluded to
follow the city banks ON Saturday last, so
that they will be in far better condition for
a resumption at an early day than if they
had continued to pay out gold and silver
until their vaults were exhausted and then
stopped.
Governor Pollock, after consultation
with the leading business and banking men
of Philadelphia, has called an extra session
of the Legislature on Tuesday next, to
take into consideration the extraordinary
state of things now existing. 1t is under
stood that the bank men are in favor of
the following measures:
/. A suspension of specie payments on all
notes, large and small.
2. The prompt issue of their own notes Of
the smaller denominations, for checks, and all
other obligations against them.
3. An increase of Discounts to their custo-
mers, with the object of affording immediate
relief
An attempt will no doubt be made to
legalize the first measure, but we much
doubt its policy, as public opinion, so long
as just ground exists for suspension, will
sustain the really deserving, while all 9TH
ers ought to break.
In the mean time the panic is spreading
north, south, east and west, and we are
about reaping the first fruits of being made

In Tracts of 40 acres and Upwards, On Long

THESE lands were granted by the Govern

and are among the richest and most fertile in
the world. They extend from North East and
North West, through the middle Of the State,
TO the extreme South, and include every variety
Of climate and productions found between those
parallels Of latitude. The Northern portion is
chiefly prairie, interspersed with fine groves
and in the middle and Southern sections timber
predominates. alternating with beautiful prai-
ries and openings.

Bituminous Coal is extensively mined, and
supplies cheap and desirable fuel, being fur
nished at many points at 81 to 81 per ton-and
wood can be had at the same rate per cord.
Building Stone of an excellent quality also
abounds, which can be procured for little more
than the expense Of transportation.

Chicago is now the greatest grain market in
the world, and the facility and economy with
which the products of these lands can be trans
ported to that market make them much more
profitable, at the prices asked, than those more

transportation is perpetual tax on the latter,
which must be borne by the producer in the re-

The ST. Louis Democrat. in speaking

His whole fortune in politics, a. we'll as
in financial matters, is invested in the
projected southern railroad to the Pacif

by Texts to carry vi That project. He
is committed body and soul to that en-

against hope, to think that he is not sent to
Kansas with the secret object of killing of
