In New York in a small way there has been quite
brisk inquiry, but the attention of buyers seems to
be centered upon low price descriptions Holders of
the better class however, manifest anxiety as to
the course of the future market, they offer their
stocks with less freedom, demanding in all cases full
current rates.
In Philadelphia the market is quiet and notwith-
standing the very light receipts and moderate stocks
tor this period OF the year, most holders anxious
to realize at current rates. The stocks in manuiae
turers hands throughout the country are small and
as the advances the trade look for increased
activity, and some improvement in prices. Prices of
many descriptions of manufactured goods continue
to rule low and the machinery is mostly turned up
on goods suitable for the spring trade.

The Parent of Insomnia.

The parent Of insomnia or wakefulness is in nine
cases out of ten dyspeptic stomach. Good diges-
ton gives sound sleep, indigestion interferes with it,
The brain and stomach sympathize. One of the
prominent symptoms of weak state of the gastric
organs is disturbance of the great nerve entrepot
the brain. Invigorate the stomach and Won
restore equilibrium to the great centre. A most
reliable medicine tor the purpose is Hostetter's
Stomach BitteIs which is far preferable to mineral
sedatives and powerful narcotics which, though thew
may tor time exert a soporifc influence upon the
brain, soon cease to act, and invariably ipiure the
tone OF the stomach The Btters on the contrary
restore activity to the operations of tbs ali i'm
poTtant organ, and there benefcent influence is
reflected in sound sleep and tranquil state oi the
nervous system. A wholesome impetus is likewise
given to the acton of the liver and bowels by its use

The School Fund.

Under tho provisions of the Con-
stitutional Amendment, ratified by
tho Legislature before tho recess, tho
County commissioners of each County
nro required to levy tax of two mills
on all the taxable property in the
County for free school purposes. Tho
total valuation of property in this
County is $1,340,665. Two mills on
this amount will raiso $2,68132. The
number ofpolls in tho County is 1878,
upon which ono dollar each is asses
scd. This added to $2,681.32 will
give q school fund, for this County,
Of $4,654.32. Upon this amount, of
course, allowance must be made for
delinquents, and nulla bonas. For this
purpose we allow $154.32, which will
leave an actual fund, available for
FREQ schools, of 81 500. This should,
If the School District Trustees do their
duty, run tho schools about fvo
months; but if they undertake TO es-
stablish school at nearly ovory mans
door in their districts, as was the
case in some OF thom last year, the
money will bo exhausted in month
or two and nobody benefited. Let
them locate, rs the school law, con-
templates, just enough schools to &C
commodate all in their District, land
provide line schools where it is me-
cessary) and no more. If they will
do this, under our present govern
nent, the free schools will DO of con-
siderable benfit to everybody; but if
they continue in their careless, indif-
forent way, locating n school at every
cross roads, or at every mans door
who desires it, and giving ovcry teach
err school who applies for it, the
money will be squandered as usual in
many cases heretofore, and the school
law will not be worth the paper it is
printed on. Lot the Trustees do their
duty.
