truthfully remarks: "People love to be
humbugged. Any gassy, brassy vender of
lotions and notions, who comes along, sing
ing song, and uttering the most ridicu-
lous nonsense, will have crowd of atten-
tive listeners, and the crowd will buy his
worthless compounds, represented to per-
form marvellous cures, and he will pocket
their stamps and laugh in his sleeve at
their gullability. Thus humbug prospers.
A law ought to be passed to fine and i'm

not be deemed an infringement of the right

American QuercitroD Bark in England.

AhciVah GueiCilioD DIN III LhSAhus
"A Ncw Fcaturc.-The following circular
which reaches us from England may be of
use to some of the bark merchants and
manufacturers into whose hands it may
fall
LIVERPOOL, 18th November 1869.
Our chief supply of Quercitron has, ever
since it's general introduction fifty years
ago, reached us from Philadelphia and Bal
timore, with occasional consignments from
New York, &c.
Philadelphia bark comes in hogsheads,
as is well known, and from the fact that in
Philadelphia it is branded first Sort" and
must consequently be up to the mark in
quality, gives reputation to that port
which no other rivals.
Baltimore comes in bags, and most of
it is intrinsically the same as that which
comes frome Philadelphia, but from the
fact that it is not so carefully ground or
packed, fetches, as will be seen by the quo
tations, much lower price.
list Philad'a, in hogsheads, $50 per ton.
LIST and I'd Bait, in bags, s35 to $45 g
AS this article abounds in untold guam
titles in Maryland and Pennsylvania, Eir-
ginia, &C., and as the consumption i'll Eu-
rope is SO enormous, it may be well to call
attention to a "new feature" which will
give more general employment, and benefit
everybody. The "new feature is, to
send the bark pulverised, like flour or fla
vine. This attained, port of shipment or
place of production makes no difference,
whereas the value increases to $40 to $50
per ton! Indeed, in the first instance, I
myself made 800 per ton, and fully believe,
in perpetuity, that this will be a nearer
value. Wherever bark or sumac mills
abound their present machinery can readily
be adjusted to the work of fine grinding;;"
when nothing remains but its being packed
in hogsheads, lined with paper, and tran
shipped to England from any contiguous
port. The consumption will be largely
increased. ALEX. MACRAE,
Anglo-American Produce Broker,

The Lectures.-On Friday evening, 26

The Lectures. Friday evening, a6th
of November Prof Rufus Adams read Sc
lections from Shakespeare and other authors.
In light and humorous pieces Mr. Adams
eXcelles as reader, but he was not so happy
in the more serious selections. The house
was well filled, and altogether the audience
enjoyed a pleasant entertainment.
On Monday evening, Mr.. W. B. Culliss,
of Philadelphia, delivered his lecture to
Young Men," prepared, We believe, for
the Young Mems Christian Association
Tie lecture was full of good advice and in
struction to the young people, the Ice urer
ondeavoring to impress the important fact
upon his ENTHUSIASTICALLY the young
men-that moral and Industrious life-a
life with some fixed and definite purpose in
view, was the only hope of happiness and
prosperity. The lecture was intersperscd
with spicy and amusing anecdotes, which
served as sauce to the more serious portions
of the discourse, and fixed the interest OF
the audience, which is one of tho secrets of
success to a popular speaker.
On Monday evening next, 9th inst, Rev.
y. \. Wiletts will deliver the fourth Of the
series of lectures, and rare and interesting
discourse may be anticipated. -.y7r
His subject will be "The Model Wife,
and all who had the good fortune to hear
his lecture, delivered at the Hall last Win
ter" Sunshine the Secret of Happiness,
will need no second invitation to be present
on Monday evening next. Mr.. Willetts'
lecture, last Winter was voted, we believe
unanimously, the star lecture of the course.
His fine points and humorous attire kept
the audience convulsed. ''The Model
Wife, would seem to be admirably suited
to Mr.. Willetts' style and genius. All
who can enjoy a hearty laugh While they
are benefited by sound moral discourse,
should not fail to hear Willetts. lie is one
of the best and most entertaining lecturers
in the country. .... .ff..
The following are the names of the lee
turers, with the subject and date of each
lecture, engaged to complete tho present
course:

ton, Cherry Hill, Union, and North East
The meeting at Elzton has been continued
four weeks, and its success limited. At
Cherry Hill the meetings have been in op-
Grafton for about two weeks, and we hear
there have not been many conversions
At the Union they are having the greatest
