Bonds - Government bonds were dull
and steady. State bonds were neg
lected. Railway bonds continue quiet,
with dealings almost entirely of a re-
tail character. Prices for the general
list show greater number of adj
vances than declines, but the changes
are generally for small amounts.
Stocks Stocks were extremely dull
and almost without feature, the total
sales being only 293,S00 shares. and
six stocks contributed of that amount
over 2l0,000 shares. In no other case
were the total sales as much rs 10000
shares. The six stocks mentioned
were st. Paul, Reading, Lackawanna,
Western Union, Lake Shore, and
Omaha, their activity being in the or
der named. Prices in the morning
were irregular, but after the opening
there was a weak tone which was re-
covered before II o'clock, at which
time the highest prices OF the day
were generally reached. From II to
~ O'Clock the market was steady to
heavy, with only very few slight
changes. After midday it was firm,
as rule, TO the close, but late in the
afternoon the transactions were so
limited as to make quotations little
more than nominal, except for the
stocks mentioned. The most promi-
nent feature OF the days operations
was the strength developed in st. Paul,
which sold as high as 81 late in the
afternoon, but lost } per cent. in the
final dealings, making a net gain of z.
The only feature to the trading in the
coal stocks, was the weakness
of Reading which is down u.
The other coal stocks are shade

selling as nigh as 5Gl, and closing I

THE DECEMBER COURT.
The Doings This Week of the
Adjourned Session.

At 10 o'clock A. NJ, on Tuesday last
the adjourned term of the Circuit Court
for Cecil county met with the Hon.
Judge Frederick Stump presiding. The
first case taken up was an inquisition on
Hiram f. McCush, an insane pauper
who is now in Jail. John S. Ewing tes-
titled that the party IS of unsound mind
and destitute of means. DIR. Brown and
others corroborated the preceding wit
ness. The jury found him to be of un-
sound mind and a pauper. Judge Stump
said that he could send the party to the
aims house but that the place i'll which
dog in: or he could send him to the Jail
which is not the proper place for him; or
he could send him to a lunatic asylum at
the expense of the county. The Judge
said he had waited upon two boards of
county commissioners of this county to
urge them to make suitable arrange
mcntS at the aims house for the proper
care of insane paupers, but that SO far
they had done nothing. He said that if
Cecil county would establish such an
institution, there would be enough per-
sons sent from other counties of this
shore to more than pay the interest on
the cost of establishing the institution.
The case of George p. Whitaker VS.. John
L. jackson was taken up. Alex. Evans
and Albert Constable for plaintiff. Jones
Il lIaines for defendant. The facts in
this case are that Whitaker's nine head
of horned cattle broke through a line
fence into Jackson's oats and while tres
passing there, were distrained by Jack
son. Whitaker replevied the cattle.
The main question in the case is not the
amount of damage done by the cattle
but to get decision in regard to line
fences, as to which the law ofthiS county
is in state of confusion. Defendant
demurred to plaintiffs declaration on the
ground that the declaration did not set
out place where the cattle We're taken.
Demurrer overruled. Defendant then
avowed the taking of the cattle, claiming
that they were taken while trespassing
on his farm. The Importance of thi.
case warranted an adjournment of court
at o'clock until the arrival of Judge
Wicks on Wednesday when the same
case was on trial. This case was contin-
ued on Wednesday and Thursday and
concluded Friday morning, when it was
given to the jury--verdict for Whitaker
damages one cent. The case of tn,
Grover Il Baker Sewing Machine Co. VS.
VIM. Radcliffe, garnishee for James ant
John Bcnge, was then taken up and il
on trial as we 90 to press.

warfare upon the deadly enemy of society
y law to prohibit the sale OF whiskey is
Just as essential to the welfare of society as
laws to prevent theft or murder, and yet
men steal and commit murder. Now would
our Eigh-liceuSe advocates have these laws
repealed simply because they are violated :.
| We trust not.
y number of years have passed since we
attempted i'll our weak way to represent the
/ Valley in the capacity of correspondent
/ of THE WING. Since then a constellation
/ of brilliant literary lights have sprung ul
/ in the Valley and vicinity. One Lee the
| luminary of the hills, in his wide circuit
! includes the Valley, followed by lesser
/ lights, including Dot and Valley. The two
/ latter nave locked horns aud bad feeling
! exists III their late articles, which are gen
/ orally condenn~d as seeming to indulge Ill
/ malicious personalities, reviving unpleas
ant "reminiscences and provoking inquiry
| into the truth falsity of their several
/ statements. Take friendly counsel, breth
rem, sheathr the sword and smoke the pine
| of peace.

A word Of Explanation from the
Managers Of the Course.

The four lectures that have arcal,
| been delivered in tie Young Mems Lee
turc Course have been of an excellent
character and cncnuragingly successful
though not SO much 50 financially as wa:
hoped. 1t was the desire of the man
ayers of the course to terminate the lee
lures with one by the Hon. Alexander
X. Mcclure, Of the Philadelphia Times,
but the following letter from that gen
tleman will explain why it will be neces.
sary to disappoint those who had hoped
to hear him:
THE TINES, Phila., Feb. 1, 1886.
.HaHGgtI' lVnHg H1nS Lecture Course.
DEAR SIRs: Il have abandoned all hope
OF filling lecture engagements this sea-
son, as continual rheumatism compelS
me to 90 South in a short time. When |
arr able will gladly give you an even.
ing. Yours truly,
A X. MCCLURE.
Immediately after receiving the above
letter the manager of the course wrote
to Charles Emory Smith, editor and di-
recting manager Of the Philadelphia
Press to learn if he would serve as a
substitute for Mr. Mcclure \ charac-
teristic reply has been received from
Mr.. Smith stating his entire willingness
to come here and if further arrange
mcntS can be made OF satisfactory
order the date of his lecture and the
subject will be announced in these col
umns next week. Mr. Smith is one of
the most pleasant speakers and platform
orators OF the day and will undoubtedly
deliver an entertaining lecture.
