general features, as noted in our last.
The market has not been positively
dull, but there has been an uneasy and
unsettled feeling prevailing the market
which has, more or less, had the effect
to demoralize prices. The market,
however has not declined materially
and closes to-day quiet at 30cents bid.

Editors Of the Joaunal:-Over the

in connection with the appointment

and as it does me gross injustice I
trust your magnauimity and fairness
will allow me through your columns
to say. that if Spectator, when he says
"Mr. Williams was elected oUer Mr..

in ignorance, he deserves the censure

unhesitatingly pronounce it a wilful

The Comm ssariat OF the Body.

The stomach is the commissariat of
the physical system. 1t furnishes the
natural sustedance of every organ. If
disordered, the whole body languishes;
but, however affected, its tone and
vigor may always be restored by
a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters. The regularity in ats operations
which this grand tonic alternative es-
tabhshes is the most direct means of
obviating physical debility, impurities
of the blood and affections of the dis
charging organs. We know that if di-
gestion or the habit of the body is OBJ
structed, the entire physique Is weak
ened in consequence of insufficient
conversion of the food into blood; and
it is equally certain that the refuse of
the system not being wholly thrown
off is sure to contaminate the vital
fluid and snrcharge the bowels and
kidneys with vitiated matter which
weakens and ir.fames them. The
Bltters, by strengthening the organs
of discharge. enables them to act Wig
orously, and thus Iiberates the pent
up waste which would otherwise work
incalculable injury.

to the Board for the position from
which he had just been discharged.
Mr.. Wilson said that if the Board en-
tertalned the application he must enter
his protest. Smyth had been dis
charged for outrages upon the county.
This application was an insult to the
Board and to the people. He had not
made politics business and had made
no money by it. (Mr. Van Amringe

ROSIN-A combination of circun1-
stances, over which it is evident that
the buyers and sellers in our rosln
market have no control, has depressed
the market during the past week.
Among the causes of the depression
are the unusually dull Geographic re-
ports from abroad, the want Of an ex-
listing export demand, and still
another, the large receipts at the pres
ent, although it may be we'll to state
ht re in connection with the latter re-
mark, that the receipts have fallen
short 20 per cent. this year on last.
All these Influences have tended TO
deprcss prices, but III the face OF this,
however, a moderate amount of trans
actions have occurred, and the recede
of quotations is barely d fraction lower
than last week. The principal demand
has been for Strained, but fine resins
were in moderate enquiry with a fair |
amount of transactions at about |

Mr.. Wagner suggested that the

fault of the Auditing Committee, one

Mr.. Wilson said that So long as he
was Chairman OF the Board its employ

Smyth wanted the Charms an to u e

should read the powers of the Board to
