As to the origin of this anniversary
there appears some uncertainty. Just
where, and when, and why, and by
whom 1t was started no one seems pre-.
ciselv to know. 1t is known to have been
celebrated in Great Britain and France
for ages. On the eve of this day num-

originated among the Romans, who dur
ing the month of February, we are told,
"put the names of young women IN box,
from which they were drawn by the
Young men as chance directed" but we
think it more probable, rs it is more rea-
sonsble, as it is practice OF the North,
that it Is q relic of the nature-religion,
which so long characterized the people
of those nations, and which WAS undoubt'
edly the primitive form of religion with
them. The popularity of the season ap-
pears to have led to that conclusion, and
in Bsiley's Dictionary we find the fol
lowing explanation OF thesubject: "About
this time of the year tho birds choose
their mates, and probably thence came
the custom of young men and maldens
choosing valentines or special loving
friends on that day"
Whether these theories be of any value
or not, We hope that our readers will en-
Joy the day to the best advantage, and
make the most of it possible.

STATE BoNDs-Quiet.
STocKs-The market was weak and at
times demorslized. New Jersey Cen
,ral was very prominent in the dealings,
declining from Is to l5s. This fresh de-
cline was due TO a variety OF rumors,
it being reported that the bank account
of tho company had been attached
by the JUG gment OF creditor; that the
books and papers of the concern had
been removed to Elizabeth, New Jersey,
that q receiver had been appointed for
the Lehigh and Wilkesbsrre Coal Com
pany, and one would soon be appointed
for the New Jersey Central. All OF
these reports could not be fully anthem
licated, although it is fact that the
bank account of the company has been
attached, so far as one institution is con-
c.rned, although only few thousand
d)llars were on deposit there. Delaware
AID Hudson Canal was weaker than New
