"We hold the opinion, therefore, tha,
there 10 no call for the public money, more
strictly, and Immediately, and essentially
for the public benefit, than in the case o
public education. And we are further con
vlnced, that there is no expenditure Of the
peoples funds that would be more cheerful
ly sanctioned by them than this; provided
they were satisfied with the system Of ed
ucation itself
"Your Committee are of opinion there
fore, that whatever expenses may be nee
essary for the establishment and support
Of N atonal Public Schools, should be borne
by government.
"To check improvidence in parents, youl
| Committee conceive that i would be pru
dent and proper TO assess yearly tax, per
| haps of FIVE dollars for all children between
the ages ofthree and thirteen years. Thi;
would prevent persons from too carelessly
mourning the responsibility OF parents
while il would be oppressive to no one, in
asnuch as the expenses OF a child at home
! in the poorest and most miserable manner
would much exceed that amount.
"This tax alone, if adopted throughout
the republic, would furnish ftom ten TO fl
teen millions annually, 10 The Public School

"Among the chief preliminary Difficult.
ties, your Committee remark the dcticlen
cy Of competent teachers, and suitable
school books. The first, your Committee
conceive, may DO surmounted by the es
tablshment Of q .N0dei State School, where
teachers may be trained; and by rendering
the office of public teacher so honorable
and desirable, that the best talent in the
country would be enlisted for public edu-
cation. To meet the second, your Com.
mittee suggest that government should Of
fer liberal premiums for the best set of
school books, a compendium Of the useful
and liberal arts; the exact sciences, and
every other branch otan accomplished and
enlightened education.
"ln conclusion, your committee would
express their frm conviction, that in pro
portion as the Mechanics and Working
Men of our city, Of our state, and of our
republic generally, interest themselves in
this subject, in proportion as they take a
firm, decisive stand, and adopt enlarged
and liberal views in regard to Public Ed

Effects Of Lightning. Persons appa

Effects Of Lightning. Persons appa
ren,ly dead from lightning have been re
covered by repeatedly throwing cold water
over the whole body. Many instances arc
recorded Rev. mr.. Steele, ofParis,
in the State Of New York, has lately in the
newspapers mentioned case Of this kind.
A lady was with her husband in the house,
and the latter was struck with lightning.
The lady happily recollected having few
days before read in the newspapers Of the
efficacy Of cold water, and had the pres
ence Of mind to make trial Of it; on the
eifusion of the FIRST bucketful he began to
move, and on the repetition of a few more
was restored TO sense and health. lf dur
ing the recovery the pulse is slow and ex.
tremi,les cold, bleed largely at the arm.
A Gentleman now living IN Johnson coun-
ty, r. Gully, Esq was a few years ago
struck down by lightning, and recovered
by exposure TO a heavy fall of rain.
The above floating paragraph we copy
because we understand that a circUm-
stance recently occurred in this town,
which favors the theory therein stated,
Mrs. Cannon, who We mentioned in our
last as having been struck down with light
ming, owes her life to the proydeutial cir.
cums,ancc of bucket of water having
been thrown upon her by little boy in the
fright and dclirlun ofth moment, who ap.
pears not TO have known what he did. or
why he did thus. Indeed, for some days
he was afraid to tell that he did throw wa
ter upon the insensIbe patient. An in
stance is also mentioned Of gentleman al
the West being struck down with light
ming, and with so great force that the c.
lectric fluid, on entering his body, store
his coat, vest and shirt into shreds, burnt
the hair from one side of his head, crossed
his breast, passed down the extremities,
and out through his shoes, perforating
them with holes as though buck shot bad
been forced through them; in some places
breaking the skin, and scorching it in its
whole course, so as to give it the appear
ance Of IT extensive burn" And yet it is
said this individual is in fair way for get
ting well in consequence of plentiful efu
sionS Of cold ,cdier upon the breast and head,
and copiouS bleeding. Remedies of this
nature should be known and treasured up
in the mind by every one.

boats and come on board--but the brig be.
ing armed kept the pirate off. The Gram.
pus Immediately went in pursuit of him,
and on coming up fired q gun to windward
to bring him to, but the pirate returned il
with a shot at the Grampus and kept firing,
endeavoring to get away. The c. soon
brought her guns to bear, and gave her o
broadSide, the schooner still continued fir
ing and endeavoring to escape, when q
second broadside from the Grampus disa.
bled her in her sails, rigging and hull so
much that she was compelled to sure nder.
There were ten killed on board the p.
rate, including the Captain; on board
the Grampus none were injured. There
were on board the pirate crew Of so, a
great part Of them Africans; she had no
