The Normal Institute at this place is
progressing fucly. The exercises in
grammar, arithmetic and geography, give
very satisfactory evidence Of the success Of
Prof Keuoy as skillfuI teacher This
week special attention will be given to1the
waDner of conducting recitatious aud gov
crnug schools The number of teachers
in attendance is largely in excess Of the
most sauguine expectations Of the many
friends Of the Institute, and aotwiths,and-
ing the persistent Efforts Of certain parties
to oppose its organization at this place,
success croans the Institute, and the true
friends Of education here hare reason to
be proud of the high tone, elevated CHAR
acter and scholastic attainments Of the
teachers present, We hear from all part
les that the exercises in school drill each
evening are of the most difficult and ex.
acting character. The correct and prompt
answering Of the teachers to questions Of
distract character in mathematics, lang
mge, &c, proves their capacity to teach,
and their lore of study.

There is remarkably little stir in the
wool trade; so far as We are advised no sales
whatever of tho new clip have been made.
The farmers are generally holding for
about last seasons prices, or rather for a
slight advance, and there appears to be
difference Of about 5 cents on the pound
between their views and the views Of those
who want 10 buy. Where people mean
business, it does no generally take long to
get over that difference, and We hope ere
long to hear of the market opening up
briskIy. Somewhere between 10 aud 50
cents.

IIGwIsBUR0, April II, 18Th
Hon e. A. Bennett, AuaitoE
DEAR SRI have just received your
letter Of the 10Th inst, enclosing the let.
Ter Of Slessrs Sumner 4 Co., and enquir.
ing as to whether they are required to pay
a tax for pedlling sewing machines; and if
50, whether they are required to pay SlOO
lor each county cauvasssl or for each agent
employed.
| an respectfully Of opinion that il
Nesss. Sumner IL Co., are engaged in
manufacturing, in this State, the machines
which they sell, they can not be required
to pay license as pGddlers for selling such
goods. Acts 1878: ch 2}3, sec |.
| an also Oft the opinion that, il they are
not manufacturers, they will be required
opay license tax Of SlO0 for each coun,
y canvasscd, and not for each agcat cm'
poyel. The license should be issued to
lIessrs Sumner Il Co. The fact that they
have q place of business in the State does
not exempt them from the payment Of the
license tax.
Respectfully Yours,
Henry NJ. MATTHEWS,
Attorney General.
