COMMON ScHooLs.-On the first page
ofto-day's paper, will be found an ad-
dress by the superintendent of common
schools imthis state, to the auditors of
the different counties, the officers of the
different schools, and the citizens of
Ohio, in their several capacities. We
ask for il an attentive perusal by all our
readers. Whoever has read our stat
ute on the subject of common school reg
ulations will be convinced of the neces-
sity Of the plan adopted by the superin-
tendent to obtain information. His in
ability TO procure it in any other way,
is manifest. a n
All persons OF every class and condi-
ton in life, are interested in this matter.
The time which intervenes between this
and the 'sitting Of our Legislature is short,
and inasmnch as some decisive action
may be expected on this subject at its
next session, it is necessary that the
measures advised by the superintendent,
should receive Immediate attention.
It is hardly necessary to enumerate
the reasons which demand this interest in
acause which promises such great good
10 our town, county, state and country.
The cause of common school education
is identified with all the most noble caus-
es in our land, and its improvement and
extension hasin times past,& will in times
TO come, more than compensate for any
expense oftime, money or mind which
has been employed in accomplishing it.
Aside from these considerations
there are others of a different charac-
fer, which appeal forcibly TO every pa
rent. What farmer, what citizen, how
poor soever he may be, does not wish
his sons and daughters, to have the
means afforded them now of procuring
good common education? We speak
the sentiments Of all, when we say, not
one. What enterprlsing citizen Of the
west, does not wish 10 see the standard
ofwestern education raised to an equal.
ty with the standard of western improve
ment2 And yet who that looks over this
country andsees the poor teachers,the un-
suitable discipline, the eimmoral influence,
Il the wretched divisions of districts, the
difficulty of procuring money, the loose
method of examination, will fatter him
selfinto the belief that this is the case.
Fellow citizens, our superintendent pro-
poses a remedy for all these evils, il is
the only sure one, will you lend him
your assistance?

MAILS, DISTRIBUTING OFFICES, &c.
Thanks to the distributor of the dist,'ibu-
ting office at Toledo, the Thursdays
mail which should have been sent to
Detroit, has been forwarded to this
place, and our mail has been sent to De-
troit. We have not been able to avail
ourselves of the news contained in the
Detroit packages, but we intend to en-
deavor so to arrange matters with our
brethren in Detroit, that if this new
mode of distribution becomes frequent,
we can make use of their news, giving
them like privilege with ours.
If our subscribers, in the country wish
TO pay their subscriptions in produce,
they are at liberty to do so, and thank'ee
in the bargain. Butter, potatoes, beans,
any thing that can give a poor fellow
an excuse for vibrating his masticators,
will come in play.

-tains 600 inhabitants, 6 stores, 3 hotels,
2 mills, and extensive water privileges
which may be improved to an indefinite
extent. Our fellow citizens, the Messrs.
Sargent, have erected at this place
large grist mill, now in successful oper-
alton. For some time past we under
stand there has been some contention
between this place and Defiance, as to
the removal of the county seat Of Will
liams county, from the latter to the for
mer place, but as yet nothing has occur
red promising such result. The ad-
vantages which this town possesses, are
equal in importance to those al
forded by any place between it and
Fort Wayne on one side, and the foot OF
the rapids on the other, on account OF
its central situation, extensive water prl-
vileges, contiguity to the Wabash and
Erie canal, fertile country around, and
the number of improvements in contem.
plation which will intersect each other
at this point, from all of which consider
ations, it may be reasonably Inferred
that the day is not far distant when here
shall spring up second Rochester.
We predict for it such a destiny, and
most cordially recommend it to the ia
vorable notice of travellers and emf
grants, in search of western location.

1t has been said by some, and probably tho't
by others that the people Of Wisconsin are re-
CARELESS OF law or gospel, considering Lynch
law the palladium Of their rights and liberty.
But let me tell you, that here is the sober, in-
dustrlous farmer, the mechanic, the merchant,
the professional man, who have done honor to
themselves and society at the east, and Of
whom Wisconsin may justly be proud.
! have given you in this letter birds eye
view OF things in general here, but let me add
that this country is not only interesting to the
farmer, mechanic, and spcculator; but to the
lover Of antiquity and philosophic lore. The
most interesting curiosity yet discovered in
Wisconsin are the remains Of an ancient city.

DEAR SIR---l expect that ere Long you in
tend to come out aud view the tar-famed Won
ders of Wisconsin, either in reference TO find
ing a new home or for the purpose of specula-
ton: therefore little more information res
pectinp this country may not be uninteresting
to you before you start. Now, promise, /
will "nothing extenuate, or set down aught
in malice" / am aware that many give ex-
agpcrated accounts of this country, either for
or against ii, while others make their descrip-
tions complete salmagundI.
One leaves his .'friends and his home" with
high hopes, and expects his destination is the
land of roast pigs and honey rivers; but if he
1nds no pigs OF any kind, and the rivers mere
ly cold water, he readily concludes the coun-
try is not what it is cracked up TO be, and puts
for home. Another, more moderate in his cal
culations and expectations, is pleased with the
country--dives into some speculation--.makes
himself rich, and consequently gives the most
glowing descriptions OF the untold resources
of the country. In fact, two persons may view
the same place, travel over the same ground
in a new country, ard one will be disgustei
disappointed, the other interested and pleas
ed. Witness the following: On my way to
this Territory took opportunities to converse
with those who had visited Wisconsin,, to gel
a description of the country. From one got,
in substance, as follows: '.'roo far north; toe
cold; great want of timber; wheat wintc,
kills; land not in market; club law; too MANY
Indians about; country too levels" and to car
the climax, says he, ~ have been all over
and now am going home, and mean to live
contented." Then from another, got.delight.
Jul country; beautiful scenery; healthy climate;
abundance OF pure cold water; grand mill pri-
vileges; fertile soil; alluvial bottoms; all kinds
of timber; as warns as New York State; 70.
sy, undulating prairie; mineral country" and
to round the period, says he, 81 am going at
ter my family, and mean to spend my days In
tho delightful Wisconsin" But to my own
