NEW YORK.

New YORK, Aug. 18.-In an interview
published in the Tribune this morning Mr.
Vanderbilt treated the street to first-class
bull article on some of the stocks in which he
is largely interested. He said that such q
thing as new issue of bonds by the New
York Central had not been alluded to by
the board of directors and there was
not the slightest foundations for the rumors
that have been on the street for several days.
Notwithstanding this denial those who have
believed in the stories about that alleged is
sue still insist that the reason why the Cen
trail does not need money is because Mr.
Vanderbilt has already advanced the COM
pany several millions, which it needed to
meet its floating debt, and if the New York
Central is not to issue bonds for the amount,
It has agreed to give him on obligation in
some other form or under some other name
In other words they are not convinced by
the published interview that the New York
Central has been running behind with its ex-
pense account for months past. AS to Lake
Shore Mr.. Vanderbilt is reported as saying:
ST hold in fact every share that held three
years ago. / have not sold one share, and
hold 200, 900 shares. consider Lake Shore
one of the safest investments in the coun-
try" But this, it is claimed, must
not be interpreted as meaning that he has
not traded in Lake Shore stock outside of the
200, 900 shares by both buying and selling.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has good word for Mr.
John King, Jr-, formerly vice president of
the Baltimore & Ohio He saws he should be
glad to see Mr.. King at the head of the Erie
company, and that he would add consider
able strength to the Erie road. He is thor
oughIy honest man and highly esteemed by
railroad men, and he would run the road ex
clusively in the interest of the stockholders.
The demand for Lake Shore this morning
caused sharp upward movement In it.

There is no money in this sale for us, as we give

West Sunbury Academy.
Cor the Citizen.l

For the Citizen.l
The closing exercises of the years
work at West Sunbury Academy on
the 18th and 18th of June were of a
very interesting character.
One new feature was the contest be-
the two classes of the literary society
Oh the night of the 18th.
Each class had selected meml rs to
represent it in the contest for the hon
ors to be awarded to the best essay,
grafton, debate and defamation. The
Judges were Rev Taylor, of Petrolia;
Prot. Elliot, of North Washington and
Prof. Mackey, Of Butler. The per-
formances were all excellent, both in
thought and culture displayed, and in
the manner of delivery, and we have
no doubt that the judges had some diff
liculty in deciding who should bear
away the laurels, on account OF the re-
spective efforts Of the contestants being
so uniformly good.
On the 18th, the commencement ex-
ercises were held in the u. p. Church
where very good orations were deliv-
cred by Mr. Jacob Painter and by Mr.,
Thompson Baker, Mr.. Baker gradua-
ting and receiving his diploma. Both
on the 18th and 18th, large audiences
greeted the performances, showing by
their presence and evident approval the
interest that the community is taking
in the success Of the Academy, and
their appreciation Of the services OF
their excellent and cultured Principal,
Prof. w. w. Logan. Good, thorough
and effective work is being done III this
school under his management. His
being an expert as short band writer.
gives those students who wish to study
that art, an opportunity not always to
be found, and the class that h. has
had during the last session is said to
have made very rapid progress. We
learn that the prospects for the Acade-
my for the next year are very encour-
aging, assurances having been received
that the attendance although already
very good, will be very largely in
creased
We think that every visitor to this
pleasant town on the occasion OF this
commencement went away hoping that
the West Sunbury Academy might
continue to be. as it has long been in
the past, but ia even greater measure,
O source of good and al honor to our
county.

Col. Bain'S Lectures.

We have in our time heard many
eloquent men, some of them distin-
guished as great orators, but more
pleasing, a more eloquent, a more forcl-
BILE, or more logical speaker, we never
listened to than George w. Balm, OF
Kentucky. His lectures here last Sun
day and Monday, in the Presbyterian
Church, were models, both in manner
and matter. And what impresses one
so favorably with Col. Balm is the very
apparent fact that he is good man, a
sincere man, who feels and thinks what
he says. TEis is need in temperance
work, and Col Balm has created an in
creased interest in the cause here His
arguments in favor of Prohibition were
the most clear, practical and forcible OF

The Amended Rule.

1t will be recolecte d that previous
to choosing delegates to the late Ma
tional Convention much discussion was
had and difference of opinion existed as
to what the then rule on the subject
really meant. The result was that diff
ferent modes were practiced in different
Congressional districts, and even in
different counties of the same Con-
gressional district. This district for
instance.
The late National iConvention took
up the matter, freed it from doubt or
ambiguity, amended the rule by direct
ing the election Of delegates in same
mode that members of Congress are
nominated. So that in this district,
and in all others, hereafter the National
delegates will be chosen by the people
just in the same manner that a Repub-
lican member of Congress is nominat-
ed. This settles all questions raised
and all will know how to proceed here
after.
