But It is the quality of genius to consider nothing done while anything remains ra.a. ccomplishid. Mr. Ma me proposes an adVance movement in the shape of a new comity, to be formed of portions taken from Bradford, Sallivaii, Lycoming and !Mega.

A man who has accomplished s 6 much good =with his means deserves the sympa thy and substantial aid f the entire community: , Jay Moke was born n Portland, Ohio; Aug. 18, 1821, of a good old Pilgrix . a family, his lin al ancestor, I Francis Cooke having c me over in the Mayflower in 1620, and . erected the third Kline in Ply onth. He was educated at home ' b his father, Eleutherdo Cooke, the eading law yer of SanduSky count , and First Grand Master of Ohio e Masons. Poverty assailed the fairy, and at' 'thirteen the boy, reso ved to earn his own living, sought lad obtained' a clerkship with a Mr; übbard, in Sandusky. He soon gittracted the • attention 'of his brother in-low, Will iam G. Moorehead, w o enciployed him as a bookkeeper in hiladelphia. He subsequently enters the service of E. W. Clark Zi Co., of that city, the largest domestic exchange bank ing firm in theleountry." Ho became partner when twenty-one years old, and remained in the house until 1858, when he retired oa competen cy, having gradually attained ' the iii i i leading position in it. When nine teen years of age, - he' eta the first Money article ever ptiblished in a Philadelphia paper, an. was engaged as financial editor -I the Daily are Jay be in ted &en heir JAY COOKE Chronicle. In 1861 th, , firm of Jay Cooke & CO. was forme betwee him self and Mr. Moorehead, and now commenced. his imccetful patriotic efforts to relieve the Government; harassed by the rebellion, of all financial trouble. In the Spring of 1861 Cooke, without compensation, procured a large numbier of subscri bers for the first Government loan. Hothen placed'a war l t rn of several Millions for the State f Pennsylva nia 'at par. Mr. Chase, noting his ability, appointed the firm to - one of the 400 special' agencies for a loan of thirty Millidos: ' Jay Cooke & Co. returned one third oft4i r i , r. This led, Mr. Chase to select . Cooke as special agent toplace the five hun dred millions of five-twenty bonds au thorized by Congress. It was a mon strous I task, entailed an enormous outlay, rnd brought , little profit, i though an immense putation,4 to the master mind who engineered it. His e ff orts kept pace "th and were always equal to the "cissitudes of the war, and cotuttera ted the dread ful depression of the entry. When Mr. Chase resigned , in une,1864, and gold rose to 185 per nt. 'premium, from 88 in fi fteen day i , Jay Cooke's shoulder was put to Ufa wheel, and early in 1865 two hundred millimis seven-thirty bonds were placed' in Europe, and were subsequently",ii creased to nearly five undred mill ions. 'The governme had to spend three millions' a day, 'nd with it sav ed the Union. jay oke pyovided the money. His ope lions since the war are a part and parcel of the W tory of the day, the Most recent and gigantic being the psrticipation cif the firm in the -Syndicate, pf which Drexel, Morgan & CO., and Motion, 'Bliss & Co., are the other partners, and through whom the Alabama di& culties have been terminated.
