The Trenton Banking Company, an Old and re-
liable institution, Is the only national concern in
Trenton having any business relations with the
late house OF Duncan, Sherman Co. Rumors
upon the street put down their losses at between
one and two hundred thousand dollars. A
HERALD reporter called upon Philemon Dickinson,
President OF the bank, but ne declined to state
what their losses were ana desired that no pub

Duncan, Sherman & Co. Freese Il co. have also
been correspondents OF Duncan, Sherman Co.
Mr.. Harry Preese, junior member OF the firm,
states that only few days since their house DIRE

"honored," and the accumulation OF indebtedness
on the part OF Duncan, Sherman 4 Co. since that
time amounts TO less than i've hundred dollars.
One or two other small houses here, with llabIi-

The failure Of Duncan, Sherman b Co. cannot

are foreigners, who on arriving here Will be, as

THE FEELING IN NEWARK.

In Newark commercial circles the great failure
has caused quite considerable amount OF ex-
element and comment, the general opinion being
that Newark would be affected very little by 1t.
Mr.. M. X. Dennis, the Newark agent of the nrm,
states that no loss VIII accrue to people there from
the failure. Mr.. Dennis himself has often been a
creditor. but just now he happens to be debtor.
so that he cannot suffer any loss A number Of
Newarkers abroad mold letters OF credit issued
through Mr. Dennis by the firm, but they were
so drawn that the parties pay only on receipt o.
the money. Mr.. Dennis expresses his readiness
to refund in full the cash any OF Duncan, Sher.
man d Co.'s drafts issued through him.

THE FAILURE IN PHILADELPHIA.

PHILADELPHIA, July %, 1876
The uneasiness In financial circles in this city,
brought about by the failure OF Duncan sherman
d Co., was much less apparent this morning, 1t
being generally known thats no Philadelphia
houses had suffered much by the collapse. The
pancky indications in Third street were revived
again about noon, however, BY the news OF an
important suspension here. The concern In ques-
ton was that OF John Mason Co., commission
merchants In sugar, but their troubles are not in
any way connected with those Of Duncan, Sher.
man Co. The house was an old and well known
one, having been founded prior to 1872 under the
name OF Mason a Kirkland, ana reformed a
year ago. upon the death OF John Mason,
Sr., with John Mason, Jr., Henry Prezo and

They transacted large business IN West
India sugars, and have enjoyed the confidence OF
the community, although their business has not
recently been nearly so large as formerly, and In
common With other sugar importing houses, they
are said TO have suffered serious losses by the
decline in prices, Their liabilities are said to be
5000 O00 and the shrinkage OF the values or sugars
on which they had obtained large advances is
assigned as the cause, The firm announce that
they cannot now give the OF their Liabilities
over their assets, but they win publish state
ment next week. The failure Of this, one OF the
Oldest houses in the city, Is regarded as q great
misfortune, aud O number OF refining houses to
whom they furnished crude sugars VIII probably
suffer. Mason 4 Co.'s business was about $4,000
to 80, 900 nogsheads OF sugar year.
The news OF the failure OF the Commercial Ware
house Company OF New York also had depress-
ing effect in business circles although no Philadel.
phians are directly afected by 1t.

EXCITEMENT OVER THE FAILURE IN SARATOGA
GENERAL HTGIRA OF BUSINESS Mem
OPINIONS OF PROMINENT BANKERS.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y, July %, 1876
The failure OF Duncan, Sherman q Co. created
little hegira from here this morning. Gentle.
men having business in New York, ana who were
staying here, hurriedy left their families ana
went of by the early morning train. Having in
view the disasters that followed the suspension
Of the Spragues and Hatch, the lamentabe runs
accustomed by the closing Of the Trust Company
and the recent events that followed the closing OF
Alexander Collie Co., In England, many evl-
IDENTIFY left precipitately with view OF looking
after their deposits in the banks, while those
having accounts with the suspended firm had 10
go down TO make other arrangements Tor meet
ing their liabilities. Indeed, as soon as the de-
spatch came yesterday afternoon announcing the
suspension there was
A GENERAL CONSERVATION,
and the news cauaed many TO fear for their rela :
lives In Europe, most OF whom had deposited
their funds with the firm before going abroad and
had taken out their letters OF credit. It was
understood that the failure would show liabilities
OF six millions OF dollars and, asI heard gentle
man remark to Mr. Opdyke just now, somebody
VIII suffer OF necessity, and good many bodies
too. Mr.. Belmont, Mr.. Schell and other bankers
here do not seem to think It will affect business to
any extent in this country, and are evidently
hopeful that the house Will be able TO clear up and
start again in due course. They say that little,
forbearance on the part OF the business men down
town Will prevent panic, but that If men insist
on rushing to the banks and withdrawing their
funds 1t will only tend to cripple these institu-
lions.

Decoration.

Pursuant to notice published in your pa
per- last week, few persons interested in
putting in order the graveyard near this place
known as the O!d Episcopal Burying Ground,
met on the grounds last Monday. The objec,
of the meeting was TO see ii something could
not be done 10 rescue this old landmark from
The wilderness which now covers il. The la
dies who had taken The matter in hand had
received enough in cash aud subscriptions to
warrant them to continue their efforts The
gentlemen present all assured them Of theii
aid in a substantial way; and it was decided
to commence clearing out briars and under
growth. Hoping that all parties whose ances-
tors and friends are buried there will come up
promptly to their help, and not allow tins
effort TO fail.
II is one of the oldest grave-yards in the
State. Its history reaches far back into the
last century, one gravestone bearing date
1854 The title deeds and acts of incorpora-
ton ofthe restry recorded IN the Clerk $ office,
bear names of revolutionary times. Here lie
buried the earlier settlers and descendants.
As in other parts of the country all parties
are uniting TO revive alike their patriotism
and the memories of the fading past, so let us
keep our centennial feast by putting in order
and in state OF preservation this, Il was go
ing 10 say hallowedD spot All in this com
munity ought 10 feel pride in il, and its
church property oecopied about two acres
and the first Episcopal church of the county
stood here.
For years, in its forlorn condition, the dead
have found free burial here; all the friend
less and strangers here found their last home
on earth.
The wait of suitable bnrying-place, pro-
perly protected and cared for, has long been
felt in this village Nature has done much
Tor this spot; even in its wildness it speaks of
the caimntss AND repose of the neg lected dead.
Judge Bowie, whose land surrounds il on
three sides, has long been DESTROYS of having
II made public cemetery. lie generously
proposes TO give 10 the public two additional
acres, provided funds could be raised TO have
il properly fenced, and thai such action should
be taken TO make his liberal hequest perma-
nent benefit TO the community at large Snre-

gift TO meet the necessities of the case

all interested-and who is not? Let US all

Letter from Berry's.

Mr. EDITOR IL heartily concur with and
endorse every sentiment OF your correspondent
writing from Unity, on the subject Of our pub
lie schools. In the incipiency Of this system
they talked of eevaing the profession OF the
teacher. Now the term elevation has entirely
changed its Specification if there has been any
of il amongst our teachers
Most of our teachers are young gentlemen
and young ladies' The young men use the
position rs laboratory tor moulding them
selves into something else, as stepping stones
10 more exalted situations. while the young
ladies-weIl, excuse me, but make way for the
truth--inyoke its aid as means Of pur-
chasing lis wedding trosseau when GusJave
Adolphus, Grand Duchessed and moustached,
comes along. You cannot elevate this ever
changing miscellaneous phalanx you want a
steady, serious serrie6 rank and file. The
material may exist, but it does not remain suf-
ficiently long to develop itself
Primary schools are far more important
than The usual consideration given them.
From their fount many boy drinks his all,
educationally, and those more favored lay the
foundation of their college course IN them.
There is no time to be friitered away in gew-
gaws and frivolities, lei fractions and cube
root, orthography, syntax and geography oc-
cupy their time and attention instead Of the
rubbish emanating from Haunting exhibitions
That was palpable hit of the gentleman
from Unity concerning these m'ndy and brass
b0nd-y exhibitions. Far better consume the
month or two used in preparation for them IN

ion on the blackboard How would my boy

Now, with fancy school bonses, very close

with many books, indeed, very many books
and experimental teachers, fear we have fall

take up the refrain, and let it notrest in Gath,
nor in Askelon, until reformation is wrought

nevolently confer. If the system is incapable
