The Council appropriation for books is

a balance of $6,661 67, of which $1,700 are for
the High Schools. ' Adopted.
The Committee on Property reported to
lease the Howard Hall, in Shippen street,
below Fourth, at an annual rent of $5OO, for
three years. Adopted.
The Committee on Boys' High School
reported the names of graduates entitled to
the degrees of Bachelor and Master of Arts.
Approved.
The Committee on Girls' High School re
ported the names of the applicants admit
ted to that institution at the last examina
tion. The report was approved.
The Board then proceeded to discuss the
resolution offered at the last meeting to
petition the Legislature to require all the
taxes levied in the city for school purposes
to be appropriated expressly for the Board
School Control. The resolution offers to the
Board an act to be recommended to the
Legislature. The act was published in our
report of the January meeting. It requires
all moneys levied as taxes for school pur
poses to be placed in a bank designated by
the City Treasurer, subject to the order of
the President of the Board of School Con
trol. After paying the warrants of the
schoolteachers, the balance of the fund is to
be used in reducing the ground rents on the
city school houses.
Mr. Shippen explained the subject to the
Board. For years he said the warrants
from teachers have been hypothecated in
our streets at discounts varying from five to
twenty per cent., while the school taxes
have been used by Councils for other pur
poses.
The resolution was agreed to.
A resolution was offered to admit Frank
Pritchard into the High School, although
under 13 years of age,
The case was explained by Mr. Freeborn.
The boy will not be thirteen until May, but
passed the examination with an average of
over eighty-seven, ranking number six out
of the entire number applying.
The question was referred to the Com
mittee on Boys' High School with power to
act.
The appropriations for the support of the
Public Schools of the First School District
of Pennsylvania, for the year 1866, were
submitted to the Board : •

THE COMMENCEMENT OF LENT.—Yester
day was "Shrove Tuesday," and, being the
last day previous to Lent, it was generally
observed as a day of feasting. In Italy and
other countries entirely Catholic, it is made
the last day of the carnival, and is celebra
ted by masked balls and other amusements.
- In England ann Ireland the night of Shrove
Tuesday is called "pancake night," from
the fact that on that night pancakes are
largely indulged in by those who can afford
the luxury. The same practice prevails to
a considerable extent in this country—only
here it is termed "pancake day."
To-day is Ash Wednesday, the com
mencement of the season of Lent. That
portion of the community belonging to the
Catholic and Protestant Episcopal persua
sions will enter upon a season of fasting and
prayer peculiar to their own denominations,
the observance of which is according to the
rules and regulations of their respective
churches. The period of Lent is known as
the penitential season; and the first day,
Ash Wednesday, receives its designation
from the fact teat at the services in the
Catholic churches on that day the officiating
priest, taking ashes on his thumb, marks
the forehead of each communicant with it in
the form of a cross, repeating at the same
time the "Memento Mori," or remember
death, "Dust thou art and unto dust thou
shalt return." The seasort of Lent lasts
about forty days, and terminates on Easter
Sunday the last week being known as
"Holy Week," in which the ceremonies of
the Catholic, and is a great measure those
of the Episcopal church, are typical of the
passion and death of the Saviour of mankind,
and on the last day holy Saturday, of His
being placed in the tomb.
ST. VALENTINE'S DAY.—This is St.Va
lentirte's Day, when missiles of love and
affection are supposed to have free passage
without giving offence. The practice of
sending out such missives, although rapidly
falling into disuse, is still kept up to a con
siderable extent. For weeks ,past the win
dows of the fancy stationery stores have
been filled with valentines of handsome de
signs* gnd this morning the lett;er carriers
all started out with extra sized bundles
under their arms.
The valentines now made differ conside
rably from those of a few years ago. They
are not usually, when the increased ex
pense of, production is considered, so costly
as they were. That is, while the prices of
materials and labor have risen, the rates for
Valentines have remained stationary, or are
less, and not so many rare specimens of
• work are produced now as formerly. The
highest prices of any valentines, usually
made for regular sales, average about ten
dollars. Comparatively few reach this
; figure; but many are sold at from five to ten
dollars each. Probably more than half the
total sum obtained for all the valentines is
derived from those disposed of at from one
to five dollars; while not a quarter of the
whole number manufactured sell at a higher
price than one or- two dollars. The great
mass of them are of the very cheap descrip
tions, some of the sentimental varieties
being afforded for five cents or less each.
Great numbers—millions in the aggregate
—are sold to children, whose first formal
"declarations" are so often made through
the medium of these showy preparations of
paper and tinsel.
PITTSBURGH, COLUMBUS AND CINCINNATI
RAILROAD ComPANY.--We call the atten
don of merchants and travelers generally to
the advertisement of the "Pan Handle"
route to the West and Southwest. The road
between Pittsburgh and Steubenville is now
finished, thoroughly equipped and in per
wet order. As our readers are aware it
-hortens the time to the western and south
western cities about five hours in time, and
but one change of cars is made between
Philadelphia or New York and Cincinnati,
St. Louis and other prominent cities in that
region. The road is well officered and
well managed in every respect., Mr. John
Durand, the General Superintendent, is one
of the ablest and most experienced railroad
men in the country. Mr. John H. Miller,
the General Eastern Passenger Agent, is
very favorably known from his connection
with the Pennsylvania Central and Pitts
burgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroads,
and Mr. S. F. Scull, the General ticket agent
is also a thoroughly trained railroad man.
Details as to the trains, &c., will be found in

an inquest, yesterday afternoon, upon the

unavoidable. The verdict of the jury was
to that effect. The deceased was sixty years

Montgomery county.

STILL THEY COME.—The European Times,
27th nit., says a large number of respectable young
men from all parts of England are emigrating to
America in the numerous steamers which, are now
plying between various ports and the United States.
This exodus appears to have arisen in consequence of
the accounts constantly received of the wealth of the
United States and the scope there for enterprise.
Tere is certainly a fine scope for enterprise in this
country and particularly in this city, as witness the
success of W. W. Alter, Coal Dealer, 937 North Ninth

RuneLaatons.—There seems to be an In
creasing disposition among the idle and
evil-disposed to carry on the business of
house-breaking and robbery, notwithstand
ing the vigilance of the police and watch
fulness of the citizens themselves. About
twelve o'clock on Monday night, an at
tempt at robbery was made at the house of
Joseph W. Cooper, Esq., at Cooper's
Point, but the villians became alarmed be
fore effecting an entrance. As a son of Mr.
Cooper went home from his duties at the
ferry, he met two men on the steps, who
inquired of him if a certain gentleman re
sided there. On being told that he did not,
the two hurriedly retreated, and when jr.N
Cooper opened the door he discovered that
four holes had been bored through the
panels.
The night before an entrance was effected
into a house on Bridge avenue, by some
adroit thief, and a pair of pantaloons were
stolen. He was frightened away before he
could get anything else.
A night or two since the residence qf C.
Hultz, No. 330 Plum street was entered,
during the absence of the family, and a
silver watch stolen thentrom.
A WARNING.—The convictions and sen
tences of the last term of court must satisfy
the rogues of other places that New Jersey
is a dangerous field in which to operate.
Those who select our inland villages in
which to pass counterfeit money presume
toe much upon the inexperience and sim
plicity of our people. A "hit" may be
made occasionally, but the race of the
offender is generally short, for they are sure
to be caught. And then comes the penalty.
There is no escape from "Jersey Justice,"
when once invaded by "foreign" depreda
tors, for they are sure to get all the law will
give them. Taylor, the vender of counter
feit money, was too shrewd to pass it in his
own neighborhood. He used gold in all
his dealings about Longacoming and Tans
boro', and he was regarded as a great con
venience in giving or making change—per
forming the duties of a banker. Few men
were more respected, because he was as
generous and upright at home, as he was
unscrupulous abroad. He was afraid to
operate to any extent in Jersey, because he
knew the dread of "Jersey law."
EASTERN CAMDEN.—The progress of im
provement in Camden seems to have set
eastward, for there are many new build
ings contracted for to be commenced in the
spring, in that direction. This is accounted
for by the fact that Cooser's creek affords
elegible location for manufacturings estab
lishments, many of which have already
been established there. There are several
narties contemplating the erection of other
Large factories of various descriptions,
which will, consequently, cause them to
build private dwellings to accommodate
their workmen.
THE COURT HOUSE.—The present condi
tion of the Camden Court House renders it
hardly fit for the business transacted in it.
The Board of Chosen Freeholders should
make an effort to repair and greatly im
prove it. The furnace and heaters are
badly arranged, so much so indeed, that the
stench from the sinks and cells 1111 the
rooms above to every disagreeable extent,
making it unhealthful and annoying.
These evils are so apparent that they ought
to be remedied at once.

for its basis, induction for its pillar, and truth alone for
its capitaL
I contend there is no basinees requiring these quali
fications more. as medicines are brought in contact
with Druggists everywhere. I am also well aware that
persons reason In this manner: that which may benefit
trio may be of no advantage to another! How rats•

A Blood Purifier for one is a Blood Purifier for all.
A Diur. tic for one, a Diuretic G r all.
A Narcotic Aar one, a Narcotic for all.
Purgative for one, a Purgative for all.
Just as much sou wholesome food for one is whole
same food for all, with no more difference than that
some constitutions require more than others. and that
persons In disease are given to despondency—expect-
In in a few days or weeks, and perhaps With a single
battle of medicine, to t..."• restored to health, if not to
youth and beauty. Ttic_ie persons - rarely recover.laek •
tug patience. They give nothing a fair trial, consid
ering a Jew dollars expended for the benefit of their
health a waste of money. The same Individuals may
have been years in breaking down their COristitations,
and have probably expenaed thousands of dollars In
dress and citasipation. and thought nothing of It. Bach
forget that GOOD HEALTH IS TRUE WEALTH.
With upwards of SO,CK4 recommendatory letters and
unsolicited certificates, I have never resorted to their
publication. I dO not do this, from the fact that they
rank as Standard Preparations. For further Batisfac-

ADVERTIBEMENT
The Kidneys.
The kidney's are two in number. situated at the up.
pi.r part of the loin, surrounded by fat and consisting
or three parts, 'viz.: 'the _interior, the Interior and the
'The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tissues or
veins, which serve as a deposit for the urine and con
vey it to the exterior. The exterior Is a conductor
Also, terminating to a single tube and called the Ure
ter. The ureters are connected with the Madder.
The bladder is composes of various coverings or
te , sues. divided into paten, viz: The Upper, the Lower.
the Nervous, ono the Mucous. The upper expels, the
lower retains. Many have a desire to urinate without
he ability, others urinate without the ability to re
Lain. Tins frequently occurs to children.
'ro cure these affections we mast bring Into action
be muscles, which are engaged in their various tuna
isms, If they are neglected. Gravel or Dropsy may
ensue.
. .
The reader must also be made aware, that howe'rer
-light may be the attack. it is sure to affect his bodily
b.-with and mental powers; as oar desk and blood are
,vpported from these sources.
Gout or Rheumatism.
Pain occurring to iha loins Is indicative of the above
diseaa. T hey occur in persona disposed to acid
stomach and chalky conueaons.
The Gravel.
The Gravel ensues from neglect or Improper treat
ment of the kidnef a. These organs being weak. the
water Is not expelled from the bladder. but allowed to
remain; tt becomes fevertsh and sediment forms. It
,s from this deposit that the stone Is formed and gravel
ensues.
Dropsy
Is a collection of water in some parts of the bode, and
bears different names, according to the parts affected,
vlt - : when generally diffused over the body, it is called
nasarca; when of the abdomen. Ascites; wnen of the
chest, B ydrothorax.
TREATMENT.
Helmbold's highly concentrated compound Extract
Buchu is decidedly ene of the best reuxediee for dis
eases of the bladder, kidneys, gravel, dropsical swel
lings; rheumatism and gouty affections. Under this
bead we have arranged oysuria, or difficulty and pain
in passing water?' scanty secretion or small and fre
quent discharges of water, Btrangury or stopping of
water, Hematuria or bloody urine, Gout and Illieuma
tlsm ol the kidneys, without any change in quantity,
but increase of color or dark water. It was always
highly reoommencied by the late Dr. Physic, In these
stlections.
l his medicine increases the power of digestion and
excites the absorbents into healthy exercise, by which
tile watery or calcareous depositions and all unnatural
enlargements, ss w ell as pain and inflammation ere
reduced, and Is taken by
MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN.'
