RECORD, see in tho prices, wheat flour
quoted at 1900 per cwt., and just below, in

these miilers have, we will Just suppose

buys 10 bushels of wheat of farmer, he will
make just 500 TBS. of -four and 100 TBS. of

bran for $3.50, which leaves him just 50 in

RNeoEs, N. j.. Sept. 8, 1881.
A social party was given Mrs. X. B. Lari-
son at her home, Tuesday evening, Aug. 80.
About sixty of her former scholars aud friends
were present. Refreshments were provided
and a highly enjoyable time was experienced
by all present. Mrs. L. expects to return to
Lewisburg, Pa, Wednesday, Sept. It'll, to
attend to her duties as Lady Principal of the
Seminary at that place. Our best wishes
attend her.
"X,n of the Adeertiser, says: We
would like to see a good base ball club in
Ringoes.' Well how strange. 'sX' is
not half posted with the news. There was
lively game east of town the other day, judg-
ing from the way the clubs " were handled
" B. f" handled the club with perfect skill and
made one or two fine "knocks.' *

"Peggn is an excellent Catcher while
Esquire deserves great praise as an "um-

The dry weather still continues, and
number of people in town are obliged to cart
water for their own use. The dust is several
inches in depth. But We doubt whether all
are acquainted with this fact, by the way
number of people drive through town. 1t is
an excellent time to show the speed of
your horse.
Hoops are becoming quite fashionable in
our town. 1.-THE fashion continues, we would
suggest that the plank walk be widened about
three feet to allow us to pass the fair ones,
We noticed our friend, G. Il. Nightingale,
in town to-day. We understand he has been
spending some three weeks at Asbury Park
We reckon he has had aa enjoyable time,
judging from the manner in which he talked
and the pleasant appearance he exhibited.
We are told that he intends TO engage in
business in N. Y. CITY, We wish HIM a
pleasant success.
We are sorry to learn that g X has closed
his correspondence with the Huaterdoe Ad-
oeftiSer. Don't give up SO soon X.' Give
us some Moore.
Our butchers manage to get around about
7 o'clock Saturday morning, to supply our
people with meat. 1t might be well to get
some one to rattle them out earlier or, to
avoid this, l would suggest that the butcher
a few miles south of us runs up little earlier
and makes these fellows lveler. They have
experienced it once, and badly need it again.
Our plank walk remains in its same diapi-
dated condition, and from all present appear
ances, stands good chance Of remaining so
for while. Such walk is disgrace to any
town, and shows that industry and enterprise
are greatly needed among its citizens. We
will give praise to "Zeb." of the Republican,,
for his eudeavors in trying to stir up this
matter. Keep right on "Zeb." Never
despair. Give them some Moore. POP.

Total State and County funds. $55,071 81
The recent amendment to the School Law
provides that no district shall receive less than
5000 from all State and County funds, and
that districts with As children or more, shall
not receive less than $3.50. Hence four dis
tricts, numbering below As children, receive
5000 each-$S00. Fifty-one, numbering from
As to 6S, receive $3.50 each-$17,650 The re-
naming 40, numbering respectively more than
60, containing 1903 children,) receive per
child $5.11-$37, 32f 81, making the aggregate
as above, $55, 971.54.
The entire amount to the county for the
year that has just closed was State Fund,
$36, 092. As; Surplus Revenue, $3,297.43-
$50, 3s9.8S, or 16,5S1.66 less than for the
year beginning Sept 1, 1881. Under the
former school of 1877 children received $780,
So under the latter one Of the same number
receives s649O3, or nearly double the amount
of the preceding year.
Under the law as it previously existed, large
amounts of the funds raised in Hunterdon
and other counties whose ratables ranged the
reaching in some cases 80 per cent, or nearly
one-third of the entire amount.
Under the present law not more than 10
per cent. of the funds raised can go to other
counties, and the large excess to our schools
is mainly owing to this provision of the law.
AS stated in former brief article, the en-
tire State school tax is equal to 4 dollars for
each child Of school age as reported by the
previous school census. The amount, how
ever, to be raised by the several counties does
not depend on the number Of children, but on
the value of ratables neither does the amount
received depend ID any great ertSast, on the
number Of children, but mainly on the amount
raised, since, as above stated, at least 90 pc,
cent. must remain in the county.
