l THE LAws-We this week complete the nubl;c,. ton of the laws passed at the late session of the le l gislature. The very long one which we this day puohsh respecting common schools-being general revision and condensation of the whole of the laws upon that subiect-will we trust be preserved by all those tand who is not ? interested in the education ot the rising generation for reference as to the du ties of School Societies and Districts, Committees Teachers, &c. &c.
 We intended last week, in publishing it. to call public attention to the law respecting Pedars lift should be enforced in the spirit in which it was en- acted we have no doubt that salutary consequences Will flow from its passage. Certainly no good req son can be given why Pedlars should not be made to pay something towards the support of the govern ment by which they are protected.
 IHe Post 0Gce.-Three or four weeks since we published an anonymous article signed Dary Crockef upon the subject of the Post Office in this vlllage-expecting that when the time arrived he might be disposed, as he promised, to do something but he' like the two prominent candidates, has suf: tered the matter to sumber and as we are in favor as Squire Holabird says, of "agitotion" upon this matter, we to-day give place to another communica. tion-premising that we know not the author-and Gearing that he, like hls predecessors, will be "au threat, and ,Ao oction
 MT. ADAMs-What has become of my senior ?- Ills two or three weeks are up-and no appearance ol ms gong ahead.' was much pleased with his notice to the two candidates" and hoped he would act in accordance with his threat-but find that ii l was oH Mreat, and cider. Now, Mr. Editor. is there any good reason why those who desire change should wait much longer for these t,ro to quarrel? live wait for one of them to get the ap- pontment, fear MT. Woodruff will keep possession for four years longer say for one, if they will not ! agree between themselves or one withdraw his claims drop them both, and start anew.-for certainly there are some in the village as we'll qualified as either ct these tWcAto whom there would not be as great objec ons either of them. What say you
 have no objechonsNo either of them and one was my choice if thoughtbes by those interested to make change-but do object to this keeping the oflair so long the "anvl" No doubt it is very agreeable to the famy-for as long as it remains in this state, they reap the harvest. DAvY JR. County Commissoners.-Some three or four weeks since we made few remarks upon the change which the Legislature had made in the. Commission CTS ofthe County Court for this county A few days after we received letter from one of the whie members from this county containing some con- ments upon our remarks. Not supposing the letter was intended tor. publication, we made correction which the writer suggested, and laid the letter by
 We have since learned that it ,ras intended to be published. We therefore, even at this late hour, give such parts of it relates to the appointment of County Commssoners-premising that in conver. sation with Gen. Buell. he dsclaimed any knowledpe whatever of the matter to which the writer refers- 1 What the wishes of MT. Boyd were with repord to the appointment, we have never learnt from him. but we have reason to believe that Mai Beebe never sig nified to any one that "he did wish the appoint ment," nor that Git was inexpedient to have Com missioner from Ltchfeld." On the contrary, he has thought that it was perfectly proper.
 "GosHE.. June 21, 1s4l. "Mr 1T. Adams Under the head of tsCountv Commissioners" you say that Messrs. Beebe and 1 Boyd have been displaced from the office of Com missioners, and ask why our most worthy and capa- hie wings are to be 0s'rnc'sed by whg legislature, n'oniouslv thrust from office ?' &c. Now, MT. En- quiror don't charge too much upon the late whg le- 2lslature; as the blame Gf any) must lie nearer home; for it was represented 10 mo by one of your Representatives, in county meeting that he had had communication. from MT. Boyd, and that lie declined being candidate for reelection; and as to Mr. | was lneXpedient to have commissioner from Iitch- field The reasons in the latter were not suffi- clen to lndce me to stmy vote against MT. Reebe, (and did notl for have very high opinion of that gentleman; The county nomination was of course sustained by the House.
 Yours Respectfully, WILLARD GAYLORD" Ia'l Storm.-We omitted to mention in our last paper, that this vicinity was visited on Monday eve. ming the 9th inst with n very violent thunder storm, accompanied by hail. In Salisbury, Cornwall, Go shen, Torrington, and Harwinton in course of from half mile to two miles in width, the corn, oats, rye, and potatoes prostrate with the earth and very much cut to pieces-the fruit and leaves cut from the trees and many trees uprooted-and in ma ny houses large proportion of the glass in the win dows upon the north and west sides are broken to pieces. Considerable hail fell in various parts of this town, but the damage was comparatively small In many places along the course of the storm, we learn that hail stones picked up of the size of butternuts-two to three inches in circumference, generally very ragged in appearance.
 | MT. ED1roR-Celebration connected "with the dusty pathway of party politics. are truly little out of the regular course of things. One of this kind, however took place at Cornwall on the 3d instant- What wish to speak of is, and I was told that 5OO ladies Ia cypher too muchl were present! It as- founded me- for but year ago this firm and sta ble" clique condemned the whig ladies-even called them indecent and immoral for attending political celebrations How is it now' Are the Democratc- Republican-Locofoco-ladie immoral! ?"
