ora boy, canned Charles Lamb. only Is years

setting fire to house las. summer and sentenced
to stale prison for 1--WE years. He is the of a
respectable free will Baptist clergyman.
The trial of William Butler for murder in the

The above instance brings strongly to mind The
emotions we recently felt OF seeing several very
young boys among the cohvic,s a, Jackson.
1t is not TO be supposed that these criminals
| can be confirmed in vice much less hardened in
the course of vilIainy which has brought upon
them the punishment with which older, and of
course more culpable prisoners are visited; is il
then just, or for the good of Society, that they
should be dealt with in the same manner? Wou.G
ii not be better if some distinction could be made
J in the mode Of treatment, even " they were re.
ceiyed at the penheniiary Could they no; BY
some means, be placed under something like cor.
rect but rigid parental government during The
time OF their sentence, made to feel that they
were not yet SO far lost to hope and respeca
bilty as the older coDycis, and the object of pun
lshment was in their case emphatcalIv, less q
punishment than wholesome discipline.

Mr.. VIcKERY ON ScHooLs.-The Locofoco
press have asserted that MIR. Vekery was OPP
posed TO the common school system and even
went so far as to prevent the establishment Of a
school in his district. We were satisfied from
the first that il was an aliocous falsehood, but
the editor Of the st. Joseph Advertiser gives it
the following erfinguisher. What new fal school
will they next start against the Far,ner's candI.

Now we happen TO know Mr.. Vckery. and
have resided in his county for some time, and we
DO know the charge of opposition to our common
schools to be false. Mr.. Vickery, in his younger
days, was school teacher for years in one ofthe
common schools in Ohio and moreover we do
know That he has helped to establish school IN
his own district and still helps to sustain it. Let
the people Of his own school district answer the
foul charge made against him. They will an-
swer it rs they have often done. by giving him
an overwhelming majority. Ado. 20
