millions of 7.30 Treasury notes in small
denominations; and there are also out
standing many-perhaps two hundred
thousand dollars-of 7.30 notes of the
denomination of ten dollars and upward,
which had been made legal tender, in
order that they might circulate as cur
renly, besides gold and currency certiti-
Gates. Now submit to you two ques-
tions:
l. Is it likely that twenty millions of
bank notes would lie idle in the banks
while compound interest notes were in
circulation
2. If the exigency of The times kept in
circulation thirty millions Of five per
cent. Treasury notes and compound in-
terest notes, on which interest had accu-
mulated and which were not legal tend
ers, how many of the new notes, on
which scarcely any interest had accrued
and which were legal tenders, would be
in circul;tionP / can not state the exact
amount-no one can; but think it clear
that there must have been $754,000,0 900,
as stated above by the Secretary of the
Treasury, and at least that much more
of these new notes, legal-tender notes,
and certificates of deposit:

On Tuesday afternoon aud evening, Oct. 18th
1870, the Sunday School workers Of Digler Staten
and vicinity, met 10 the Presbyterian Church foI
conference and discussion upon matters ofintsrcsl
connected with this branch Of Christian effort.
Two Of the speakers who had been engaged
to address the Institute were prevented from be-
Ing present on account Of sickness. Both sessions
however, were we'll attended, not less than Eve
Schools being represented. The exercises were
proGtably sustained under the leadership Of Rev.
II. Criiienden aud A. ?. Moore. Esq. Dr.. y. b.
Read acted as Secretary, and the music was con-
Quoted by John H. Pearcc, Superintendent Of the
Williamsgrove School.
Following the opening devotional exercises Of
the afternoon session, hitccn nclnbers Of tho In
siitutc participated in a Bible reading, on the
subject Of Sowing and Roaping.' The scholars
present then engaged responsivcly In Scripture
temperance exercise, and recited IN concert the
names Of the books Of the New Testament. These
exercises were interpreted with short addresses
and frequent singing. The young folks per-
formed their parts admirably considering the
short time given them for preparation.
The following resolutions were adopted by the
Institute;
lst. That we, rs members of this Institue, do
heartily approve and recommend tbs holding Of
an annual meeting in every School, for the elcc-
ton or yo-eleetion Of officers aud the appointment
"a, That we also approve the plan successfully
adopted by some Sabbath Schools Of appointing
the teachers by III. Superintendent, % by the
entire corps Of officers. .tlH .ff u
I'D, That in the opinion OF this Institute, bus-
siness questions affecting the interests Of the
school. such as the holding of pic-nics, the selec
ton OF books aud papers. closing the School for
the Winter, and all other matters Of business. be
discussed and decided, not at tho regular session
Of the School, but at a separate meeting specially
called tor business purposes.
4th. That We earnestly recommend the forma-
iion Of Bible classes, to meet regularly in every
district and neighborhood where II may seem
to be necessary to close the Sunday School during
the Winter months. -
Singing "ilod the Fort, prayer and the bene-
dicton closed the Insiiiute, which has, doubtless
left good impressions upon our community.
