 LlTCHFIELD COMMON SCHOOLS.
 It is hoped that the citizens of Ltchfed will not forget that the meeting recently convened at the Court House to take into consideration our Common Gchoo stands adjourned till Saturday of the present week, to meet at one o'clock P. M. at the same place. A committee was appointed to draft constitution for society auxiliary to the county association, for tie improvement of common schools, and another committee to recommend measures to be adopted tor the improvement of these important institutions in the town Of Litchfeld. Both of these committees will, it is believed, report al the adjourned meeting isim- portant that the Rev. Clergy, School Visitors appoint ed by the respective societies, all teachers employed in tho town the present season, and all who take interest in our common schools, and who wish to ele vate their character and make them what they for mssiy were-the pride and glory of Connecticut should attend this meeting and take active part in i,s proceedings. It is to no purpose that we call county conventions this subject, and that pass resolutions procaimng senre of the importance of shese institutions, and our wishes for their improve ment--bnt action-immediate, thorough, concerted and well considered action is demanded. We must enter the field in good earnest, and each in his appropriate sphere make strenuous exertions to ac. eomplish the object in view. | terribly wise editor in the eastern part of this state. under the figure of spaUined horse arranges what it calls Democratic Pyramid" l3 States and Territories, which claims have recently held their elections and been carried by the democratic (.Ory) party. 1t embraces Ohio, Maine, Illinois.

 We are informed, that notwithstanding the appre. hensons of many eood people. respecting come alter ssions in the language of the common version of the Scriptures by Dr. Webster. yet the reading of his CO., py removes those approximations and that his edition is becoming more and more popular. It is in daily in the families of many pous persons, clergymen ss l.se E.. -k .A. of schools. Indeed. there many persons who ob- feet to the introduction of the common version into schools on account of the words and phrases which cannot be uttered in company bsore an audience. without giving offence. By special request. an sd. sion of the New Testament will be published for the use of schools and families, as soon as stereotype plates can be prepared.
