COMMON SCHOOL NOTICE.
WHEREAS, By the 11th section of
the School Law, passed the 13th of
June, 1836, one hundred thousand dollars,
in addition to the one hundred thousand dol.
lora payable by the' Bank of the United
States, are appropriated out of the School
Fund, for the use of the different school dis.
tricts in the commonwealth for the school
year 1837, which year commenced imme•
diately after the first Monday of June last;
Aud whereas, the aforesaid sum of TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS iS directed I.y
the 10th Section of said act, to be paid byi
the General Superintendent directly to the,
Treasurers of the respective Districts,(town.
ships, boroughs or wards,) of the common-
wealth, and not to the county Treasurers,as
heret , dore, upon his being "furnished with a
certificate, sinned by the President and at
tested by the Tecretary of the board of di rec.
tors of the District," that the amount of
school tax necessary to entitle such District
to its proportion of siate appropriation, hits
been "levied" thereon;
And whereas, it is provided by the 18th
section of said act, "that every thing beret '-
fore done in pursuance ofsaid acts, (viz: the
common school laws of 1934 and of 1835,)
shall be valid," and by the 15th section,
"that all taxes (heretofore) authorized to bn
raised for school purposes shall be collected
as they would have been collected if this tic
had not passed;" ' end opera
tion of which pt.( :onnection
with other part
Ist. That no :ntitled for
the present, to istributive
shares of the cm :opriation,
except such as i accepting
Districts,in the proper joint meeting of dele
gates and commissioners, held on the second
day of last,or us shall entitle themselves
to the, privileges of accepting Districts, for
the school year 1847, by complying with
the 20th section of said act: Arid 2d. That
the voting in the proper joint meeting afore
said, by each of the - affirmative Districts
for, and the levying thereon of un amount of
school tax, .uffici-nt to entitle such District
to its portion of the then existing state up.
propriation of $i5,000, will be sufficient to
entitle it to a distributive share of the pres
ent year's state appropriation of $200,000.
And whereas, It is proper and necessary
that such part of the current year's appro
priation, as may be due to accepting Dis
tricts, should be paid over to their respective
Treasurers, with as little delay as may be,
(the residue to remain in the State Treasu
ry, for the use of non-accepting Districts,or
till otherwise disposed of according to law.)
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, to
all concerned, that the Districts entitled
thereto, will receive their proper distribu
tive portions of the present year's appro
priation of 8200,000, as soon as, and not
before, the following certificates and docu
ments shall have bean received at this de
partment, viz:
-1. A certified account, by the commis
sionefs of each county, of the proceedings
of the joint meeting of delegates and com
missioners, held on the fira Monday of May
last, setting forth distinctly which Districts
then were, and which were not, affirmative
Districts; and the amount of tax then voted
to bo raised by cacl► affirmative District, or
by the whole of them collectively, as the
case may be.
2. A certificate, by the proper commis
sioners, that the atinount of tax voted to be
raised by e-.ch affirmative District as afore
kaid, or by such es are entitled to the privil
eges of affirmative Districts under the 20th
section of the new school law, has been duly
"levied" thereon, setting forth the amount
levied on each.
NOTE: It is not necessary for the pres
ent year that the t..x aforesaid, shall be ac
tually assessed, individually, upon tax pay.
ers, before this certificate is forwarded to
the commissioners. The apportionment
thereof among the several districts of the
proper county, by the commissioners there
of, for the purpose of being assessed and col
lected at the proper time hereafter,will be a
sufficient compliance with the law to author
ize the commissioners to forward the above
certificate.
3. A certified list, by the proper commis
sioners, of the whole number of School Dis
tricts in euch county, setting forth distinctly
the name of each District, and the number
of taxable inhabitants therein, according to
the enumeration of 1835. See sec. 1, of
the new law, as to what constitutes a School
District.
4. A report from the School Directors of
each District, that they have organized un
der the 3d section of the new law, (which
they are hereby required forthwith to do,)
for the purpose of carrying into operation
the provisions thereof, stating also the name

and Treasurer of each board. See sec. 3.
For the information of all concerned,it is
proper to state, that the tax voted by the a
foresaid joint meeting, as well as the addi.
tional tax under the 7th section of the act of
18z4, are to be assessed upon the same ar•
tides, and to be collected by the same oh.
cers, as they would have been assessed upon
and collected by, if that of 13th June last

RECOMMENDATIONS.
Having had occasion to call upon Mr. Chris ?
lien Schoeck to attend to a Sick Horse. I do
with pleasure recommend him to the Public. as
a person well skilled in his profession. and who
appears to be well acquainted with the diseases
of all kind of Cattle.
We certify the same,
Thomas J. Cooper, David Little,
Samuel S. Forney, George Ziegler,
Joseph Sherry, Frederick Herr,
Jacob Sherry, George Shryock.
Fri lithe knowledge I have of Mr. Christian
Schoeck as a farrier, I feel authorized in recom
mending him as a regularly educated Veterinary
Surgeon. His knowledge of the anatomy of the
home, ■nd of the remedial powers of the articles
used in medicine,is correct. His practice.based
upon that knowledge, is rational ; and, so far as
I have witnessed it, has been succession.

THE LADY'S BOOR,
OR PHILADELPHIA MONTHLY MAGAZINE.
nt EVER AL Ladies of the highest Literary
'`) standing in the country, have complied
with the terms oflered by the Publisher, and
their contributions will appear in succeeding
Numbers, commencing with Vol. 14.
This popular periodical has now completed
the sixth vest and twelfth volume of publication,
and still continues, as at tint, the moat popular
work of its clove.
The publisher is grateful for the patronage
extended to him, and will endeavor by unremit
ted exertions, to meet it. The Lady's Book was
the first publication that attempted to give cor
rect coloured representations of the Philadelphia
Fashions. The work, as stated above, has now
been published fur six years, and the proprietor
asks a careful examination of it front the many
that have been subscribers from the commence
ment; and their candid judgment, ahether it
has not be constantly improving, from volume
to volume. He may with safety say, that en
gravings, which adorn each number, are such
as would be creditable to the same classof peri
odicals in England. The Fashions are superior
to all but those in the Court Magazine,and equal
to them. lithe subscription shall still continue
to increase, greater exertions will be made.—
The promisee made in the commencement of
the year have by
,far been exceeded—and this
is a fact that few periodicals can boast ,of—the
promises made in advertiserients, in genersl,far
exceeding the performance!

HULL'S RECENTLI IMPRO
VED TRUSS.--The distinguished
surgeonsand medical faculty of the cities gener
ally, and elsewhere. have come to the conclu
sion that this Truss, in its present improved
state, is the only instrument surgically adapted
to the disease of Rupture, and the only one that
patients can rely upon for the safe retention of
the bowels and the final cure of the 'disease.
In confirmation of which the folluwing names
of distinguished medical gentlemen of New
York city, with many others, have expressed a
decided preference for this instrument, are res
pectfully added:
Valentine Mott, M. D. George Bubo, MD.
A. A. Stevens, M. D. David Hosack, M. D.
John B. Beck, M. D. Samuel Ackcrly, M. D.
Cyrus Perkins, M D. David M. Reese, M. D.
John Stearns, M. D. Wm. Anderson, M. D.
Also, the following extract of a late certificate
of Dr. Mott, of New York:
"For the last twelve months, the curative
powers of Dr. Hull's Truss have been tested
under my own observation with the most grafi.
lying success in cases of great difficulty, in
which the mutilated imitation Trusses so com
mon in our market, had only aggravated the
disease. Dr. Hull is an experienced surgeon.
who has displayed not a little surgical skill and
mechanical ingenuity in bringing this unrivalled
instrument to itapresent state of perfection,ren
dering it, I know, the best I ever saw for secur
ing, comforting and curing the ruptured patient
and is in my opinion, the only instrument of the
kind that is entitled to patronage of the profes
sion, and the confidence of the people.
