Egr!'HE foregoing statement exhibits not only the dividends of State appropria
tion for the ffth Common School year (1839,) payable on or aßer the first
Monday of June, 183 d, when that year commences, to all the districts in the county,but
also those fur the Ist, 2d, 3d and 4th school years,(viz: 1815, 1836, 1837 and 1839,)n0w
due to such districts as have either not accepted or not yet applied in the proper man
ner for their money. The whole amount of State appropriation yet due for each district
since the first year of the system, is exhibited in the last column.
The State appropriation fir 1835 or the first school year, was $75,000; for 1826, or
the second, $65,00; for 1837, or the third, $200,000; for 1838, or the fourth and pre
soot school year, $700,000, (including the Building Fund of $5OO ,000;)and for 1839, or
the fifth, it will be 8200,000, it the law remains unaltered, but it the Legislature and
$lOO,OOO, it will bo $300,000; making an agregate given by the State since the com
mencement of the system of $1,250,000 without, or $1,250,000 with the expected in
creased.
Undrawn dividends of the two first years' appropriation are to be received from the
Couuty Treasury.
The dividends of subsequent years are payable by the State Treasurer on application
to the Superintendent. The following is the form of the necessary certificate,which should
be forwarded to the Superintendent, in every case, as soon as the fact will justify it:
,60 District Tax for 183 (Data)
To the Superintendent of Common Schools :
"sm--I do horeby certify that a School Tax amounting to dollars cents, has
"been regularly levied and assessed for the School year 183 , upon district county;
"that a warrant for the collection thereof has boon delivered to Uri district Collector according to law;
"and that the aforesaid sum is at least equal to this district's annual Share of the State appropriation.
"I do Anther certify that of Post Office, county, is tho lawfully appointed
"Treasurer of this District.
"Attest,
• Secretary, President.
1, --..•••••••••••Post Office, county. --Post Offico,-county "
By the next mail after the receipt of the foregoing certificate at this department, a
warrant on the State Treasurer for the appropriation of the current year, will be sent to
the District Treasurer, together with similar warrants for all undrawn dividends of for.
mer years, remaining in the State Treasury. To obtain the latter no additional tax is
necessary, an that one tax, for the current year, equal to the District's share of the ordi-
nary annual State appropriation ($200,000) will be sufficient to enable it to receive all
dividends of former undrawn appropriations.
As soon as a District, previously non accepting, accepts the system and receives its
money from the State Treasury, it is thereby entitled to all money remaining for its use
in the County Treasury, provided it accepts before the Ist of November, 1838. In that
case it is the duty of the County Treasurer to pay over such money forthwith to the Di
strict Treasurer, on the order of the Board of Directors. The best proof of such accei
ante and of the receipt of the money from the State Treasurer, is the circular which ac
compainies the warrant of the Superintendent, on the production of which the County
Treasurer will be perfectly safe in paying over the dividends in his hands.
.Acceptance of the Common School system, under the present laws, can only take place
by a vote of a majority of such citizens of each non accepting District, as assemble on
the day of electing Directors, being in most cases the third Friday in March. The citi
zens then assembled have two acts to perform, Ist. to elect Directors,which most be done
whether thesystern is to be put in operation or not; and 2d. to deaido the question wheth
er the system shall be accepted or not. This last question is only to be submitted in such
Districts as previously rejected the system, but not in accepting districts, and may bo
decided in the affirmative by a mere majority of the votes polled.—See the 13th Section
of the Common. So_hr...l

ri.—got. paragraph of the tenth section of the act to consolidate and amend the
sevehulacts relative toa general system of education by common schools, passed the
13th June, 18:i6, the Superintendent of Common Schools is directed annually, in the
month of February, to transmit to the commissioners of each county, a statement of the
amount every district therein that has, and every district that has not adopted the Corn.
mon School system, may be entitled to receive out of the annual appropriation of two
hundred thousand dollars, and the commissioners shall immediately cause such state
ment to be published three times, in one or more newspapers printed in said county.
By the third section of the supplement to the above recited act, passed on the 24th
day of April, 1838, it is thus provided :
SECT/ON 8. It shall be the duty of the commissioners of each county in the State,
triennially, to ascertain with the assistance of the respective assessors, the exact number
of the resident taxable citizens of each Common School district in their several counties
and do certify the same under their hands and seal of office, to the Superintendent of
Common Schools, who is hereby directed to adopt the number of taxables, thus certified
toliim, as the basis of distribution of the State appropriation; the said certificates to be
prepared and tramsmitted on or befine the first day of April in every third year, corn.
mencing with thr first day of April, eighteen hundred and thirty•nine : Provided, That
if the commissioners of any county shall neglect to forward such certificates, on or before
said day, the Superintendent may, in that case, adopt the number of taxables set forth in
the next preceding certificate or return.
You perceive that there will be some difficulty this year, in carrying into effect these
provisions, as the enumeration to be returned on the first day of April, is to be the basis
of distribution, while the Superintendent is to furnish the statement of the amount to
which each district is entitled in the month of February.
It is impossible, at this time, to conjecture the proportion of the two hundred thous
and dollars, to which each district will be entitled. %V hen the number of taxables is as
certained by the enumeration to be returned on the first of April next, the proportion
will be reduced according to the increase of taxables. As the main object of furnishing
this statement in the month of February, is to give notice to the districts of the amount
of tax they are required to assess in order to entitle them to the State appropriation; and
as the reduction in this sum, arising from the additional number of taxables, will not be
great, it is considered that a publication of the statement furnished to you by the Super
intendent, in February, 193- 1 , will substantially comply with the law. You will, therefore,
re-publish that statement during the preset month, 11,r the information of the districts,
and inform them that it contains the amount, to which they are entitled, of the two hun
dred thousand dollars for the present year.
I am constrained to urge upon you the necessity of furnishing the exact number of
taxables in each of the districts in your county, agreeably to the above recited section,
as soon as practicable, and not delay the matter longer than the first of April. You per
ceive by the concluding part of the section, that if this return is tint made in time, the
tax thiNt in the preceding return are to he adopted, by which your county will be de
prived, for the year, of the State appropriation to the additionrl taxables in the respec
tive di:trills, granted by the eleventh section of the act of 12th April, 1838, which
makes the amount of the State appropriation equal to one dollar for eacq taxable citizen.

Important to the Sick.
T HE vississitudes of the summer,and the
preceding spring, have afforded pecu
liar opportunities for exemplifying to the
country the haply effects of Dr. W. Evans'
Camomile T onic Pills,upon dehilita ted con
stitutions. In cases of extreme nervous suf
fering, which stimulating tonics only mo
mentarily relieve, and at length greatly ag
i gravate, a single box of these beautifully
compounded pills has proved an immediate
and continual benefit. The loss of appetite
and tremulous exhaustion which all invalids
feel during this oppressive season, are reliev
ed within two or three hours by one dose on
ly; and in many cases a few doses will furti
ly the system a long time against a recur
rence of these attacks. To Ladies especi•
ally, who suffer from nausea and lassitude
incidental to interesting chances of health,
!twee pills are friends indeed, and a bottle of
them has hence become a favorite boudoir
and toilette confident of ladies in wedded life.
If taken before exercise in the open air,they
will generally prevent the lasitude and fit
tigue which frequently attend it at this sea
son; and if taken afterwards they never lail
to relieve these sensation in a few moments.
That oppressive sensation of arterial fullness
and throbbing in the head, which is gener
ally experienced in fervid and sultry weather,
is so speedily removed by those Pills that
they are recommended by a great number
of our best Physicians in preference to any
other prescriptions, ns they are well known
:o be in many othor cases.
The cures,the great,effectual and undenia

ling quack pills so generally advertised, and
which are at best but slow consumers of the vital

their use.
To produce this much-desired result, Dr. Pe
