FIRST BOARD.

The New York World states that there
was a marked improvement in the govern
ment bond business on the 9th inst, many
of the banks, savings banks, and other IN
situations being heavy buyers. The ex-
treme stringency in the money market
for the last fortnight has produced the
conviction in the minds of many bank Of
ficials that government bonds are at their
lowest point for some time to come. Tks
influences are all in favor of a gradual and
and perhaps rapid appreciation in gov
eminent credit, which will tend to advance
prices. The World says:
There is a marked activity in the de-
mand for Southern securities from shrewd
capitalists, who are of opinion that after
the proceeds OF the present crop are real
lied the leading Southern States and city
bonds will advance to the neighborhoOd Of
| par, thus offering a margin Of about 40 per
cent. on the amount of capital invested IN
their purchase at present prices. The fol
lowing is a table of securities in which
sales are making, with the closing quota

The Worcester Mass Gazette says:
ave learn from good authority that many
of the savings banks by disposing Of their
iVe-tWenty bonds, for which they get pre-
MUM of ten per cent, and purchasing the
thirty per cent. government bonds at par,
issued to the railroads at six per cent cur
rency on thirty years time. The object Is
to secure the premium on the fivs-twenty
bonds, and get the long time currency
bonds under the belief that resumption IL
soon to take place, when the currency will
be equal to gold, when Of course these last
will bring the same interest as the other,
and have the advantage of thirty years to
run. This movement arises from the agi-
tation Of the subject Of return 10 specie
payments by Congress"
The New York papers are making up
their annual trade reports Of that port, and
show that the total imports Of drygoods in
1868 were five millions less than for 1857 (,
and forty-6ge millions less than 1866.
These are are gold valves, freight and duty
unpaid. They aggregate for 1868, $780,
9O5, 1874; for 1867, $50, 263, 643; for 1866,
1926, De, S55, and for 1865, $9l, 965 49,
The great rush of this trade began in An
gust 1866, and lasted eight months without
remission; it has not been as large al any
similar period before or since. The i'm
porters' profits for the year have not been
very large, but they have been compare
lively free from the disastrous losses which
occurred a year or two before. Expenses
have been very large, and with prices
steadily dropping during most of the year
only great activity in sales could prevent
loss on eyry purchase.

Mr. Slahlman at the same time received
another letter from Harris, in which was
enclosed three dollars, with the request
that it be applied to bis board bill. The
letter is decidedly obscene in its character,
and goes to show up the cool rascality o.
The fellow. He makes no excuse whatever
for his conduct, and it is evident that be
resorted TO the course lie has taken simply
because he feared arrest. We may just
add, in conclusion, that the express and
railroad companies should be under last
ing obligations to Mr. Stahlman for hi
vigilance 10 the whole affair.

SHARPENING EDGE TooLs.-The MARIE
Lane Express copies the following recipe
for sharpening edge tools from German
scientific journal, for the benefit of farm
ers. mechanics, and laborers " 1t has long
been known that the simplest method OF
sharpening razor is to put it for half an
hour in water to which has been added one
twentieth of its weight of muriatic or sui
phuric acid, then lightly wipe it off, and
after few hours set it on q hone. The
acid here supplies the place of whet-stone
by corroding the whole surface evenly, SO
that nothing further than smooth polish
is necessary. The process never Injuries
good blades, while badly hardened ones are
generally improved by it, although the
cause of improvement remains unexplained.
OF late this process has been applied to
many other cutting implements. The
workman, at the beginning Of his noon
spell, or when he leaves It in the evening,
moistens the blades of his tools with water
calculated as above, the cost of which ie
almost nothing. This saves the consump-
ton Of time and labor in whetting."
