A CARD.

The subscriber, being engaged in collect
ing some statistic in relation to common
schools in this State, for the use ofthe Lit
erary Convention to be holden at Montpe-
lier in August next respectfully solicits the
cooperation of those having facilities for
assisting him in the work Of collection. lie
trusts those who have means for iurtherng
the object in view, will not refuse to spend
some little time in collecting and transmit
ting such facts as may eventuate i'll much
good to all interested in the welfare of the
rising generation, and the prosperity of our
Common Schools. There cannot be a
doubt but that collection and publication
of appropriate statistics in relation to this
subject might he productive ofgreat utility,
by bringing to view the defects of our
present system Of education,-or rather
icGnt Of system ffording data for the sug-
geston of needful improvements, and
greatly assist in concentrating more
perfect scheme both of education and in
struction.
He would especially invite the attention
of Town Clerks in different parts Of the
State to this subject, as they have greater
facilities for obtaining the information re-
quired than any other class. The follow
ing are some points to which attention is
particularly invited.
The number of persons in each town
between the ages of four and eighteen
years.
The number Of scholars who receive
instruction in the Common Schools during
any part of the year, thus showing, 10y
comparisons with the whole number, how
MANY are without instruction.
The number of districts into which each
town is divided.
The number of Teachers employed, and
what proportion are males, and what te-
males.
The length OF time the schools are in
operation.
The amount of teachers wages and the
amount of other expenses accrurng for the
support of schools.
What proportion of the whole expense
of supporting the schools is betrayed by
the direct tax, the income of public lands
or by voluntary subscription.
School Teachers have the means of fur
nishng much useful information in rela-
ton to the different modes of teaching now
pursued, &c.-wth this advantage, too
that it comes from II highly credible source
experience.
Teachers of public Seminaries will like
wise confer favor by stating what mum
Der of teachers are sent forth from thei
institutions each year.
! Information upon these topics, or any
others, connected with the subject, com
municated by mail or otherwise, will b'
gratefully received.

HooL and sheep. Sales of wool have
hardly commenced in this section. The
buyers have not yet come to make their
purchases. In fact good portion of the
focks were not sheared previously to this
week. The unusually cold weather has
delayed the shearing. Those who sheared
early have lost some of their sheep in con-
sequence of the cold. One gentleman in
Willamsburgh, Mr. Wait out Of a flock of
100 has lost 90, we are Informed. A few
sales have been effected, as we have heard,
at about the same rates as last year; per-
haps little higher. 1t seems quite EVIL
dent that the prices will be us high, and
probably higher. Manufacturers aver, that
they shall not he able to purchase large
quantities of wool on account of the search
ty of money; that they find it difficult to
obtain money enough to purchase sufficient
wool for the immediate demands Of their
factories. The Vermont Chronicle, how
ever, advises the farmers not TO be irighten-
ed-.that money will be paid as readily for
wool az last year, and at higher rates.

usefulness and galantry, as that of Geneal

that tilne-worn and justly honored public
servant Of Il single laurel, | would choose,
in justice and gratitude, to heap chapets on
his brow. Sir, the miserable spirit of par
tisan warfare and detracton, as displayed
by most of the journals, on both sides, nay
Oh all sides of the question tor the presi-
dental succession, | dcprecate from my
heart. The spirit that will admit of no good
out of the mere party range, and which
dooms to intamy all that cannot reach its
standard of party purity, is a spirit which in
vades the peace and perverts the purposes
of social harmony and union.-'R Render I'M
