a very quiet state to-day Trading on the
board was confined entirely to the May op

made. Prices were steady and firm, how
ever. News from the outside was very
meager and had no influences on prices. For
eign markets were quiet and generally
weak. Other American markets were
very similar TO ours. Receipts here
were very light. and no ears were reported
on track. Receipts for the week have been
about 65, 900 blu, and the increase in stocks
will show about 10000 blu decrease. 1t is

A series OF lectures was commenced
here on last Thursdsy night by the Rev.
James A. Worden, ID. d, of Princeton,
n. j., the secretary Of the Northern
Presbyterian Church for tho Sabbath
school work. This work was the theme
Of DR.. Worden's lectures His first was
on the defects" OF the Sabbath
schools and the Remedies" for those
defects. AS defects ne stated the organ
ization itself as being often wrong, the
teaching as being partial and defective,
the ignoring and neglect of home and
family teaching and training, and lack
OF spiritual earnestness. He suggested
as remedies
/. That the pastor take control OF the
Sabbath school.
2. That 1t be remembered that the
Sabbath school ought to be really the
church teaching. 1t ought not to be
limited TO young children, but include
the whole church, old and young.
3. Teach the Sabbath school that it is
not 10 be separate institution from the
church, but that there is an essential
unity with it.
4. Give 1t q proper financial sup
port
5. Have proper government exercised
over it by regular church authority.
9. Attend to and encourage greater
spirituality in the school.
The second lecture was as TO the

The Local-Option Alliance Of this
county tried TO hive on election this
spring, but failed to secure names sufii-
cient to petition the county judge for an
election. There is strong temperance
sentiment in this county, but it is very
much divided, some favoring high IL
cense, others prohibition ont and ont,
and others still local option. But many
of the most discreet and influential
among the opponents OF the bar-rooms
thought it unwise to make fight at this
time and refused to sign tho petition.
Undoubtedly the chief reason of the
failure, which has damaged the temper
ance cause not little, is bad manage
ment on the part of the leaders.
Quite a number of persons were be-

Surely, you will not deny that a purer

made ; and if so, and if the lessees pro-
pose to furnish such gas, a contract can
certainly be drawn to hold them to their

a provision. Next "From whose peck

Your further paragraph as to the effect
OF electric lights in Philadelphia and
other cities, assuming it to be true, IS
answered by the fact that the rapid

The COurier-Journal, Mr.. CARLIsLE's
organ, makes the following remark
"The new Chief Justice must be a
man OF the very first legal and social
standing, and a Democrat of unim-
peachable antecedents. Yet, on account
of considerations which will readily oc-
cur to thinking people, he must come
from the northern side OF the old na-
tional battle-line and have been loyal to
the Union during the war for the Union.
Thus the South being shut out of the
range of consideration the President is
restricted TO the eastern and western sec
tons Of the country"
This would seem to indicate that Mr..
CARLIsLE's friends will not recommend
him for Chief Justice.

appropriations for coast defences. There
