COMMON SCHOOLS.

We publish this week the address Of Mr.
S. Lewis, appointed superintendent of
Schools by the Legislature. We sincere
ly hope this subject will be attended to by
all interested in it, and ALL arc inter-
csted. The only chance for success in
this undertaking depends upon the PEo-
PIE themselves. If they seta about the mat
ter with energy and vigor, no danger
need be apprehonded-aIl viii be well.
The intelligence, happiness, and liberty
of America, depends entirely upon the ef
ficacy of COMMON SCHOOLS. Semi
narics and Colleges may do much towards
enlig ghtening the people, but the germ SSS
knowledge must generate in Commen
Schools, and it is through them that the
great mass of the people arc to derive
intelligence.
Citizens Of Ohio! we wish to see you
awake on this all important subject. Do
you wish to have the rising and future
generations Of your native land, free, no.
bic and brave? Put forth all your ener-
gies to obtain liberal system of educa-
ton.

doctrine of his party9 Not one. Why
this deseriion, why such sudden aban"
donment of cherished and much honor

The truth is, the supporters of Harri-
son were the victims of delusion of their
own creating. The great mass OF them,
the rank and file of his party believed
him TO be, what he was cracked up TO be.
The LADDERS knew better. Now that they
have no object in keeping up the delusion,
the veil has been suffered to be removed,
and he is seen just as he is, just such
man as you meet daily among the hard
fisted farmers of the Reserve, nothing

What a face this whole farce gives to
the character and tactics of the party in

of popular delusion, the gullability of the

The Hydra has raised another Of its

Company has commenced issuing rags,
in the shape of drafts on the Treasurer,
drawn by the President and countersigned
by the Agent. While the country is
groaning under the evils of overbanking

increase the number of banks, and take
advantage of every opportunity to shove

modiately their notes are in circulation.
No matter what the osensible object Of
the company is, when a charter is grant
ed the first object is to issue paper money.
1t never was the intention of any one to
organize Silk Company at Franklin.
That never was in contemplation. The
only object which any one had in view
was to get charter for something, no
matter what, and then commence bank
ing. 1t was well known that majority
of the Legislature was opposed to banks,
and while Akron, Cuyahoga Falls and
Rarenna were openly asking for bank
charter, Franklin, only asked for char

was granted without any objections, and

OPPOSITION TO THE LAWS.

exceedingly at the fragrant violations of
the laws, by the Now York panicites, in
establishing private mail from that city

FIRE - Rochester has so rarely suf-
lcred from fire, that the occurrence Of
brisk blaze excites something Of "sen-
sation." The confagation on Sunday
morning threatened to prove far more dis
astrous than it has done. As 1t is, the
losses are not very great, and are proba-
bly, we'll covered by insurance.
The fire originated in and destroyed the
brick store corner Of buffalo and Market
streets, occupied as Tin and Sheet Iron
factory and Store by M. Parsons & Co.

ted to the rear OF the Wholesale and retail
Grocery and Ship Chandlery Of George
A. Avery & Co. which was considerably
injured--and from llis building the fire
threatened for awhile to communicat.
with the rear of the Arcade and Post
Office. To prevent this calrastrophe,
some wooden stables and sheds we're torn
down; although the vigicnce Of the Fire,
men rendered that measure unnecessary
by checking the file while in Avery's
Store. The Hardware Store of Barton,
Banker & Avery, on Buffalo street, next
west of the Store Of Parsons & Co.,
where the fire originated, was entirely des
troyed, and the Auction and Dry Goods
Store of l.. W. Sibley & Co. and the
Grocery Store of Farley & Hamilton
were considerably injured--alhough those
stores did not suffer as much as Avory
& Co.'s farther west on Buffalo street
the latter building, which extends far
back, having caught in the rear from
the buildings burnt in Market street. The
losses cannot be accurately estimated, but
are probably mostly covered by insurance.
