OF all the markets, that Of dry goods is the
most important 10 relation 10 the money mar
ket. The credits now falling due are for for
mer importatons. The large importations Of
thi. season will AFFECT the money market Of q
future day, II is for the large importations Of
last winter .ha, the large shipments OF gold
are being made.
The discount market is mostly governed by
the dry goods trade. The notes created by
that branch of business are OF preponderating
amount. When the dry goods interest is pres.
sed the money market is soon absorbed oi all
its surplus.
The y. Y. Times, of the 2lst, says;
The market for Money undergoes no change
in Discounts, the transactions OF which We are
advised TO day are on lists OF September paper
or GO days, first class names, AT per cent.
and November. or four months. at per cent.
There is good demand for all prime bills with.
in these dates, and II Is remarked by the bill
brokers that our first rate merchants, both in
the line of dry goods and general merchandise.
are putting out their names with commendable
caution. On Demand Loan, the rates OF Money
this week are quoted by some OF the banks and
trust companies some hat trner, ranging 10

quired a two-thirds vote for its passage, the
House could not recede from amendments
passed according to that requirement, by
any less vote than that which was needed for
their passage. The Speaker decided the
point not well taken-the House, on
appeal, sustained the decision-the
Speaker declared the House amend
ments withdrawn-and without pass
ing the bill after the recession from
the amendment by the constitutional vote of
two-thirds, or any further action, the bill
was certified back to the Senate as having
passed the House without amendment
We presume, upon this state of facts, the
courts will decide that the amendatory act
was not passed by constitutional majority,
and that il is therefore void. The effect of
such decision would probably be to depre,
ciate still further all money heretofore issued
upon Minnesota Railroad bonds, and to
prevent further issues upon that kind OF Sc
curities The law as il stood before amend.
ment would in that case become operative !;
and under that, Minnesota Sevens cannot
be received as q banking basis, at least un
til they attain q definite market value in
the city Of New York.
The transfer of the Minnesota and Cedar
Valley Railroad Company to Messrs PAIN
GLE, CHAMBERLAIN, and their associates, is
an event of financial importance. We un-
derstand that, by the terms OF the transfer,
the debts Of the company, which have been
incurred with an almost criminal needless
ness, will be liquidated. The liabilities of
the company, at the time of its transfer,
amounted to Sl9l,l30, mostly past due,
with unincumbered assets OF only Sl25,0O0
in State bonds at their par value. Aside
from this amount, however, there were $22G.
600 ID the same securities hypothecated for
loans 10 the amount OF S53,403.23, bear
ing, Interest which ranges from seven
to sthirty-six per cent. per annum.
The creditors of the company have reason
to es6gratulate themselves on the change !;
as with another year Of management like
that carried on under the presidency Of Mr..
NoRrH, the assets of the company would
have been totally squandered, and they
been lett without mill on the dollar of
theirl lredits.

Burglars About.

On Sunday night last the Touring mill Of W.
& E. Thomas of Milford, was broken into and
robbed. The burglar or burglars succeeded in
carrying of booty to the amount Of SIS, in pa
per notes. silver and "copper" (about eight hun
dred OF the latter, besides some old clothing and
things Of trivial value The money was mostly
the property of the Milford Delaware Bridge Co.
The iron safe, which contained no valuables what
ever, had been moved from its original position
IN the office, some distance to the door of the
mill but no marks of violence were visible upon
it. BY its side was found crow bar, iimmey,
hammer, and several picks, which had been alb
stracted from saw-mill adjoining, and were IN
doubtedly intended to have been used in openine
the safe. About a mile below Milford was
found lantern, which had also been taken from
the sawmill, and used on the occasion Of the
robbery. Suspicion rests upon strangely be-
haved man, who was observed lurking about the
premises, on Sunday afternoon.

Another American Triumph.

Under this caption the Boston Evening Ca
zette says we have had frequent occasion recent
ly to speak Of the success of the Atlantic
Monthly. We have been prompted to do this
from an honest pride at the accomplishment, not
only of our own, but, we believe of a national
desire, to see our periodical literature indicated
from the charge our English brethren have so Of
ten brought against it that it cannot ascend above
the level of love-sick stories and sentimental
poetry, because our reading public can appreciate
nothing better. Many an attempt has been made
to establish something similar to the heightened
periodicals of England, and az often as each
attempt has failed, the voice of exultation from
the English press has been loud, and the cry
raised that we can't do it.
At the present time two different houses in
London monthly re-publsh the g Minister'S
Wooing," by Mrs. H. B. Stowe, and its circu-
lation there almost exceeds the same here We
have heard it stated that the editors have recev-
ed and approved, upto the present. time, sufficient
material from American authors to furnish several
numbers fully equal to any that have yet appear
en-. The April number is looked for as one Of
the very best yet issued. We repeat again, that
in chronicling the success Of the Atlantic, we
are expressing national feeling of something
more than pleasure, that we have at last accom-
plished our desires, and our literature has such
an ornament as the Atlantic Monthly

Our Public Schools.

We have heard OF a rumor going the rounds,
that there is to be combination and deter
mined effort made at our next annual town meet
ing to vote down all appropriations for educa-
tional purposes, thereby depriying the public
schools of all support, and closing its doors eff
fectualy against the children of the poorer clas-
ses of society and cutting off an institution which
heretofore has well been the boast Of the town
and to which we would point the stranger
and sojourner among us with pride, and tell them
that the temple on yonder hill, was a fitting mark
of the generosity of our people. We could tell
welcome to bow at the shrine of knowledge
that they could drink from its inspiring founts
without money and without price We had
fondy hoped, and still believe that the institu-
ton was, and is established upon found alton
that is permanent. We believe that it has
hold upon the affections and good judgement of
the people that can never be loosened or broken
off. The education of the people is too much of
q necessity to be thus lightly dispensed with, and
we cannot afford as matter of future government
and of good policy to raise up in our midst
rising generation uneducated, and consequently
to seine extent ungovernabe. Untaught in the
great duties of citizenship and moral govern
ment, they would be at sea in the world, without
compass or chart
At this late day of the world it seems a work
almost of superrogation to advocate the cause of
education and of public schools. The arguments
in favor of the education of the people, extend
over the whole history Of the world. Nations
have advanced and sunk into insignifcance in
proportion to the education of the people The
diffusion of knowledge has been demonstrated so
often to be source of power, that it cannot at
this day be doubted. If there is any one thing
that we can do to benefit posterty more than any
other, it is to give the means of an education to
the rising generation. Throw it in their way so
that they will be compelled to imbibe more or less
of it.
We have been simply speaking in behalf of ed
ucation and of public schools, as to what amount
should be raised by the town for educationl pur-
poses, is matter upon which it is not proper
for us to dictate Whether it is best to have our
schools amply supported the year round, or only
part of the year, is for the people to determine
But that we shall have public schools, well sup
ported, and with good efficient teachers, is our
earnest wish, and the wish no doubt, of great
majority of the people. See to it then at the
proper time that the right measure is taken to
keep our public schools going.

A Chapter of Accidents.

A Moulder employed at the Machine Shop and
Foundry of VIM. & Chas. Gown, fn this place,
had his foot horribly mashed, on Saturday last
by casting falling upon it. John Slack, a
foreman employed by the Railroad Company,
had his finger cut entirely off, from log rolling
against it. A young lad, unknown, was run
over by team of two horses, on Saturday last,
while standing upon the canal bridge above Tt
tusville. The boy standing by the side of the
bridge, thinking he was sufficiently far of, to es-
cape injury, did not look at the team, when the
wagon passed over his foot, crushing two of his
toes in terrible manner

sB An exchange says that the English
druggists are about adopting a Rectangular bot
tie with deep Fittings, to put poisons in which
are sold by retail This is to prevent persons
making mistakes by getting hold of the wrong
bottle. AS an additional security, the neck Of
the bottle is so contracted that but drop at
time can be poured out. The very deliberate
and cautious action thus produced will it is be-
heved, deter any one from taking oyerdoses of
medicine; while it is difficult to imagine case
in which aperson could pour ont and take the
whole contents Of one of these bottles in mistake
for something else. This is good idea, and
should be adopted in this country also.

SINGULAR CASE OF SUDDEN INsANITY.-The
Peoria Transcript chronicles singular case of
the insanity ola husband and wife named Maurice
residing in Logan township, Peoria county, who
became deranged few days since, and both at
nearly the same time They are the parents of
five childrenf and it would seem as if religious
frenzy had seized them, for they were making
preparations to kill their youngest, and offer it,
as they said, for a sacrifice" when the neigh
hors interfered and took. their children from
them The husband and wife were taken on
Friday last to the insane department of the Coun-
ty Poor House, and placed under the care ofMr.
Brown for the present, until it can be determined
what is best to be done with them. 1t is amost
singular circumstance, and there are many con-
lectures as to the true cause of so sudden an
alienation of mind

Building Association.

The third regular monthly meeting of the Di-
rectors of the Lambertville Building and Loan
Association, was held at Union Hall, on Satur.
day night last, for the transaction of regular bust
ness and selling of loans Three loans of two
hundred dollars each, were disposed of for prem-
ums of thirty-one, thirty-two, and thirty-two
dollars. This shows slight decrease in the
demand for money but every one seems to have
great faith in the working of the Association and
consider it one of our beneficial institutions.
