SCHOOL DIRECTORS.

Having learned the amount of the County School Fund that will derive from the Poll and special tax of 1878, and by reconing the State apportion- ment when paid to be as much per head as was paid on the last apportionment, l have prepared report showing the total amount of School Funds that will be available for School purposes ill the various districts for the next school year beginning with July the lst, 1879.
 have put myself to considerable trouble to have the directors furnished with all needed information in this matter, and which is as correct as is possible to be given. Tbe amount giv- en will be increased in some districts on account of the redemption of Rail- road and other lands during the year.
 The said report as given shows the balance due districts, after deducting all indebtedness that is now registered, or known to exist. All that is needed to be fully and sufficiently posted in your district school finances, is to be q subscriber to the county paper, which arrangement might probably be mado with the editor.

It remained for q Philadelphia school
teacher to be chosen to represent the
typical American beauty on the Bland
silver dollar. The designer Of the coin
worked for months 10 produce some
thing new, raCking his brain in the
study Of American art, but without being
satisfied as to anything he saw in the
shape OF ideal heads, which would reflect
the purity and beauty that the goddess Of
freedom ought 10 possess. He mentioned
his iIl,luck to a friend, who volunteered
to find for him what he long had sought.
The lady was brought 10 the designers

inGs were secured sufficient to enable him
to proceed with his work. Tho designer
took his various sketches and from them
wrought out the head which is the promi.

GLORY" TOBACCO
CAUTION.

Owing to the increased demand and The i'm.
mense popularity of the above celebrated
goods, some dealers are selling inferior to-
baccos and representing them as the "Glory"
brand. Iclaim the GLORY as my exclusive
trade mark in this market for plug tobacco,
and no one has a right to represent other
tobacco as being the same. Each lump has a
gold tag with the word "GLoRY" upon It, and
non other is genuine, as IT is positively sold
under no other brand in this city.
Buyers will please bear this in mind.

IL view Of the prominence OF the inves-
tigntion o. the affairs Of the Gas Office,
and the disclosures already made. it was
i angular act of resistance on the
part of the Chairman Of the In
~yes!igation Committee at the Council
meeting OF Tuesday evening in withhold
ing the report Of that committee in rela-
ton to Superintendent Arthur Browne,
when the reading Of the same was asked
for by two members OF the second Branch.
The understanding between The members
nf the committee was that the short re-
port wonld be rendered Council, and, in
Ease a more explicit one was demanded,
the detailed report Of the investigations Of
the committee would then lie submitted.
The Chairman failed 10 act according 10
to that agreement. II Mr. Browne is
guilty in any manner whatever, the public
has a right to know in what particulars he
has been reCreant to his trust. II he is
innocent, then for MIR. Brownies sake it
should be given light. The period OF
shielding the misdoings Of public officials
