MUSIC IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The Rev. Mr. Gougler proposes to give
weekly lessons in music to the children, at
our public school house. His first lesson
will be given on this Saturday afternoon. at
81 o'clock. His instructions are given gra-
tuitously.
MIR. Gougler has been professor OF music
and taught it successfully for number Of
yeais. His proficiency 10 performance, as
we'll as his skill in imparting the knowledge
20 others is well known Our citizens are
fortunate in having this opportunity of placing
their children under his charge.
This branch of education has been much
neglected in this State. In New England it
it regularly taught in the public schools. Its
influence over the child, the man and society,
is well known and appreciated There is no
calculating the benefits its cultivation in
early childhood may carry through a lifetime.
We hope our citizens will take advantage Of
the opportunity now afforded We are con-
vnced that music will soon become a branch
Of instruction in our public schools
| MIR. q. proposes TO teach in the public
schools Of Northumberland.

of affairs at Salt Lake.
On September 22d lie r,et body Of U. S.

Fort Lawrence. lie also met Governor
Cummings on October 8th ninety miles be-
yond Fort Kearney. Some supply trains
were within an hundred and forty miles Of the

likely to arrive this season.
Mr.. Van Welt travelled over 2,400 miles
since August / and was treated with much
consideration by the leading men at Salt
Lake City, but he heard the expression OF
only one opinion, that the troops under the
command Of the officers of the United States
government should never gain foothod in
their dominions.
A heavy snow fell at Fort Bridges on the

TIIOS. ALLiBONE, ESQ.

Mr.. Allibone, recently President of the
Bank Of Pennsylvania, sailed for Europe on
Saturday last, accompanied by his wife and
daughter. We trust few weeks absence will
restore Mr.. Allibone to us again 10 renewed
health, prepared again for the active duties
of business.
No man connected with the Banking In
stitutons Of Philadelphia possessed more sa-
gacity and sounder views than Mr.. Allibone,
and no one was surrounded by more numer-
GUS and devoted friends. His policy as a
Bank officer was always liberal and enlarged
and all classes of the community especially
the mercantile, never failed to find in him
the most efficient sympathy and friendship.
If all the Bank officers in Philadelphia had
been made wise, the present unfortunate con-
dtion of the Banks might have been averted
| The life and character of Mr. Allibone has
won the esteem and confidence of all, who
know him and there is no one whose loss will
be more felt in Philadelphia than Mr.. Ali.

The SECOND DAYS RUN on THE BANKS OF
New ORLEANS was worse than the first. The
Crescent, describing the scene at the Citizens
Bank, says: ..
when the door opened scene of the
widest confusion followed. The crowd acted
like Bedlam broke loose-scrambling. fgbt
ing, shouting, losing hats and coat-tsils and
densely jamming the interior Of the bank in
an instant. The bank officers. finding thsm.
selves beseged by a crowd of madmen, Sc
cured the vaults and mounted the counters
to keep the crowd from scuambling over.
Others, outside, tried to Chamber in at the
windows, but were hurled back. Intelligence
of this being sent TO the Chief Of Police, that
officer dispatched all his specials to the scene.
They arrived, fought their way through the
crowd to the counter, and then turned against
them. They got an iron door,bar, with
which they faced the crowd. having to fight
freely with their Gsts at the same time, some
of the besicgers being highly belligerent.
Finally the Mayor had to send down sixty
additional policemen, who managed to pre-
serve something like order, when the work Of
redeeming the notes commenced.

E The VALUE OF SPEcIE.-Nothing shows
more clearly the comparative souudness of
the finances of the country at this time, than
the fact that the price of gold has already
fallen from about six TO one and two per
cent. ln some cases in New York, the gold
drawn in large sums from the banks, has
been already deposited agsin-there being
co sale for it, at price worthy the mention.
The rate OF exchange still continues against
Europe and specie is flowing in upon u.s.
The last steamer from California, it will be
noticed, also brought over million and a
half in specie. IL 1887, the rate of exchange
with Europe was heavily against u.s. and coin
was shipped out of the country by the mil
lions. The more the present distress is look
ed into, the more ii seems to differ from O
great financial reyulsop, reaching down to
the basis of things, The foundations of the
great fabric of trade seem as sound and
strong as ever. Everything betokens fair
weather not very FAR ahead.

HollOcays Ointment and I'lls.-The taint
of,scrofula has been known TO run through
the blood Of half a dozen generations. The
seeds of all virulent eruptons and ulcerous
distempers exist in the animal fluids, and will
be inevitably transmitted from parents to
children unless rooted out Of the system By a
preparation capable Of utterbly neutralizing
the virus in the channels OF circulation. Hol-
loway's Ointment is such preparation and
there is none like it in the whole range OF
pharmacy. The poison which produces and
perpetutates external disease cannot resist its
dilligent and antiseptic properties. When
scrofula cancer, tumor, salt.rheun,, &c, have
become hereditary, it literally cuts of ne
entail. 1t is desirable that the Pills shonld
be given occasionally in all cases which re-
qure the Ointment.
