j Book KEEPING is the method Of exhibit
ing IA a clear, concise, and intelllgible man
ner the primary, progressive, and present
state of a mans pecuniary affairs; or, in
other words, the keeping a true and system
attic record of all his business transactions.
so that he can tell at any period the gains
or losses, in any particular transaction, the
net gains or losses the exact amount of his
available means, and his liabilities, and con-
sequently his net capital. The system of
Book Keeping in use in all eceU regulated
business houses land this should not only be
confined to Merchants, Manufacturers and
Bankers, but should be used wherever books
are kept at all,) is called the q Italian
from the country of its invention, or
Double Entry, because every debit must
have a credit, or, rice OerSd, every credit
debit" Or in other words, the Journal en-
tries must balance, hence the advantage OF
DOuble-Entry or n systematic system of
Book Keeping, by winch you are enabled to
prove your posting, and in fact all transac-
tions, once month or oftener. The Book
Keeping which does not present those ad-
vantages is in fact no Book Keeping at ALL
The science of Book Keeping is founded
upon this interchangeable law, that the sum ol
the debts must equal the sum of the
credits, or gice Oersa and the fact there
fore that you can prove all given work con-
sttutes it a science.
The study of the science of Book Keeping
is, without doubt, not only the most impor-
tant branch Of education, rs far as dollars
and cents are concerned, but at the same
time, the best discipline for the mind. 1t is
a profession in ITSELF and should be studied
by all part of liberal education.

of this beautiful and important
branch of education, in ali its details, will |

facility for its acquisition in few months
and on very reasonable terms.

BLOOMINGTON BANK.-The notes of this
bank were thrown out by some of our
bankers yesterday, and on inquiry at the
bank department we learned that it YVES in
consequence of the bank having failed to
respond to the call of the Auditor for ad-
ditional securities all the other free banks
having met the demand promptly. We
learn that no further effort will be made by
the Bloomington Bank to redeem, and that
its notes will go to protest. We advise
those who hold the bills of this bank not to
sell them at a great sacrifice, for the secu-
rites in the Bank Department will be faith
fully applied for their redemption, and we
are informed by the Auditor that he will be
able to pay from ninety TO ninety-fiVe cents
on the dollar.
The failure of this bank should not af-
feet the credit of the issues of the other
free banks. Their securities are more than
ample, at the present market value, for the
redemption of their circulation, and they
are under the control of safe and prudent
men. The Bloomington Bank has been
considered weak for a long time and has
been in bad credit. No one acquainted with
her condition was at all surprised that she
yielded SO quickly to the financial pressure.
We understand that the bank will be made
TO pay its depoSitors. Sentinel.

"FUSt-Every Teacher shall be at his or
her respective school-room at least fifteen
minutes before the time Of opening schools,
both morning and afternoon, for the purpose
of overseeing the conduct of pupils engaged
in play, except that assistant teachers may
be excused from such duty by their Princi-
pals, on the Principals assuming the whole
task contemplated by this rule"
We commend the above to the couSidera-
ton Of teachers engaged in our Common
Schools. The above is Que of the rules for
the government of teachers, passed by the
Board of Trustees, November, 1853 The
weather is now inclement, and whether inc
clement or not, good example of prompt
ness chould be set by teachers. 1t is not
right that children should be kept in the
cold, rain, or snow, damp as the streets
are, in the winter season. Scholars ought
to have an opportunity to warm or dry
their feet before the opening of fschool.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.--The Treasury is
in worse condition than before. Riggs &
Co. express the opinion that if Treasury
notes are issued, they will be at 25 percen
discount, and not taken at that.
Among the most significant signs in po-
litical circles, is the fact that Senator Benja-
min is soon to make strong Union speech
1t is rumored that the Cabinet has been
in session to-day, and that exciting news
has been received and submitted to them,
from some quarter unknown. The report
has created quite sensation about town.

ACCIDENT NEAR YINCENNEs.-We learn
from a gentleman who came down on the
cars that the house of Judge Thorne, an old
aud respectable citizen of Knox county, for
merly its representative in the State Leg
islature, in which he served two or three
terms, was destroyed by fire, and the owner
perished in the flames. The Judge had sue
ceeded in getting his family out of the burn
ing building, but returned to secure some
money that was in the house, and before he
succeeded in this undertaking, the roof fell
in and he was burned in the ruins.

NEW York, Dec. 9.-The Herald's Wash
ington correspondent telegraphs last evening
that the Committee on States will meet on
Tuesday-perhaps on Monday. South Car
olina and Florida may not be represented
The Chairman of the Committee, Gov. Cor
win of Ohio, is disposed to advance concil-
iatory measures. The feeling of conciliation
is growing more and more prevalent. Gov
Seward is not disposed to yield, but he may
be overwhelmed by the power of the incom-
ing Administration. There are many mat
ters of moment in allegiance which the
country at large may regard with satisfac-
ton. There is moro Union sentiment to-
night among prominent classes than has
heretofore been exhibited. Every one now
hopes for the best but bitterer things will
occur within the fortnight than either side
anticipate. There is a rumor here this even
ing that jeff. Davis has received dispatch
from Mr.. Lincoln, President elect, stating
that he (Lincoln) was preparing a letter for
publication defining his position.
