is the puerile and sckly sentmenalites with which too
many Of our fashionable magazines are loaded down
ovesick ditics and stories of passion and crime the
materials of which have been wrought and over
into such endless variety of tales that their stale
ness is alone absolutely disgusting.
This Magazine aims at far higher object than to
merely signing girls Of sixteen, and ladies Of
more advanced age, who, while they have ien behind

tastes, and who live ove-stories with sprnkling OF
murder. II aims TO instruct and improve II is made
up Of original and selected articles Of real value. The
first article is very perfect and graphic description Of
the mode Of constructing the famous Thames Tunnel.

Fishery of Ceylon, &c.

THE Snow SToRM.-The storm of last week was
much the most severe of the season. II lasted for
two days without iniermission, and blocked up the
roads in every direction. II seems to have been
much more severe upon the sea-board than in the
interior. The mails have been delayed almost be-
yond precedent. On Tuesday night the train OF
cars upon the Fitchburg road going to Boston, we're
showed in on Waltham plains, and could neither
move forward OF return. Some Of the passengers,
among whom were two Of our own citizens, sought
the inequalities of neghboring public house, but
suffered most severely in reaching it. Others re-
NAMED in the cars. The train due in Boston Tues
day evening reached there Wednesday noon. The
New York mails have been two days in the rear.

SCHOOL coNyENTIoN.

II will be seen by the notice Of the Convention
recently held at Townshend, which we publish to-
day, that vote was passed requesting the directors
Of the County Association TO appoints Committee
10 take the subject Of school books under consdera-
ton, and to make report thereon, recommending
list of books suitable 10 be used in the District
schools Of the County. We understand that in
accordance with this vote, the Directors have APP
pointed Committee Of seven residing in different
parts Of the County, 10 attend 10 this matter. This
we regard as a very important step, and which we
are glad to hear has been taken. Very serious
complaints are made of the variety and multiplicity
of books introduced into schools, imposing a
heavy tax on parents and presenting formidable
obstacle 10 teachers and pupils. BY this variety OF
books our schools are cut up into an endless num-
Der Of classes the time of the teacher Is frittered
hWav. and the progress Of the scholars is greatly
retarded. And as every new teacher has his pref
erence in regard to books preferng of course those
with which he is most familiar, the parent is expect
ing new levy upon his purse every time the school
commences, in the purchase Of a new book Tor his
child.
We trust this Committee will not be in haste
10 make their report, but will examine thoroughly
all the books now used in the Schools of New Eng
land, and select only those which of the highest
character and the greatest merit. 1t they do SO,
and we have confidence in their ability and judg.
ment. great service will be rendered to the coun-
ty by their labor.

THE SSow.-The depth of snow in this city, on
average, we should think, is not less thun 20
inches. The carriage way of several of the mar
streets is impossible, account of the accu-
mutation of snow, (thrown partly from the side
walks) three, four and five feet in Depth termi-
mating in an abrupt bank on both sides. Probably

CoSsEcrIour RIVER RAN RoAD.-The Amherst
Express justly takes exceptions at the very loose
statement of the Greenfield Gazette, that the road
upon the West side will cost only $4,000 per mile,
while that on the East side would cost 900 per
mile. The Express says the estimates for the west
side road were made by person deeply interest
ed, and made under the bias Of strong feeling
and interest, and do not include furnishings the
road, while the estimates for the east side road
were made by dsinierested engineer, and are for
substantial road, furnished in the best manner,
that large allowances are made for unforeseen con.
tingencies, and that the land damages are estima-
ted at double the sum, while the real damdges mnst
be about equal, We stated last week that the
Hampshire Gazette says the Greenfield road cannot
cost less than $4,000 per mile.
1t is but fair TO add that the Gazette insists that
it was right in its estimate Of the cost aud gives
authority the fact that the corporators have voted
that the capital stock shall be but 100000.

Whose shrines are desolute, whose land dream
Weep for the harp Of Judah's broken shell:
Mourn--where their God hath dwell the goddess

And whore shall Israel lave her bleeding feeii
And when shall Zion's song again seem sweet?
And Judah's melody once more rejoice
The hearts that Ieap'd before its heavenly voice

How shall ye fee away and be at rest?

Mankind their country--Israel but tho grave!

another Significantly asks how the Mnstadon

over entirely with earth before decomposition
had taken place, unless some vast body Of
water had overwhelmed it, and when the
earthly materials held by the water in sus
pension had precipated, the water subsidet
leaving the body covered; and after this the
whole has been saturated by the water o

LITERARY NOTICES.
Prospectus OF the ohio statesmnu,


TNIiE undersigned respectfully announce
= TO the DEMOCRACY OF ONO, that they
have purchased Of Col. SAMUEL MEDARy,ail
his interest in the Ohio Statesman newspaper,
from and after the lst of July, lS45. The
paper will, as heretofore, advocate, unflins
chingy, Democratic Principles and measures,
and give the strongest support TO the regu-
larly nominated candidates of the Democratic
Party, that it will be in the power of the uns
designed 10 afford. To firmly support the
National Adminsiraton--to maintain the
right ofthis country 10 the territory of Oregon
-lo uphold the great doctrine of the soye.
reigniy of the people, as contended for BY
the patriot DoRR--to contend for the adjust
ment of the tariff in such a manner as shall
do justice to the great Agricultural interest
of the West-io labor for the settlement Of
the National Finance question in way tina
shall prevent the public moneys from becom.
ing The means of individual ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
and TO strenuously support any measure
calculated TO make the laws of Ohio embodi-
ments Of the principles of Liberty and Equa'
ity, and to give to the State sound cur
rency;-hese are the objects which the un-
designed propose 10 themselves in the new
and arduons position which they have as
sumed. Their success must depend upon
the amount and the character of the support
which they shall receive at the hands Of the
Democracy of The great Empire State Of the
West, whose voice in the National Councils
is so important, and whose example, in the
managemeniof their internal affairs, is destin-
ed TO exert vast influence upon all quar-
ters of the Union, and particularly 10 give 4
character to the legislation of the new COM
munities which are constantly arising, and
demanding to be admitted to the rights and
privileges enjoyed by the members of the
confederacy. %
The undersigned have invested large
amount of capital inther present undertaking.
They have brought TO its support, whatever
of talent and enterprise they possess. Their
interest is identical with that of the West;
md there is no incentive to exertion--no
motive which can incite men to faithful
discharge of important duties--which is not
moving them to labor for the good of that
portion of the confcderacy into whose hands
lie physical and moral powers of the nation
IRE rapidly passing. Under these circum-
stances, they feel that they are privileged 10
ask for that support and 10 look for that con-
idence from the Democracy of Ohio, withou,
which all their labors must be worse than
performed in vain.
The undersigned propose making some
mechanical Improvements in the paper, which
will render il more worthy the support of the
public. A fair proportion of the paper will
be devoted to miscellaneous reading and
news matter.
