THE SCHOOL UOUSE.

Now is the tine for our farmers to commence
preparing for winter school. We are afraid the i'm
portOnce Of this school business is too much under
rated. In the first place. it Is all important that the
school room should be comfortable house not
richety old barn with halt the windows out, and
the wind blowing through the cracks. Children
cannot study, with every thing uncomfortable a
round them. Their health must be attended to- I'M
less you want them coming home at night with
colds, coughs, and tevers and before the winter is
half out. compelled to stay at home, and lose half
the benefit Of the school. Then, we beg YOU not
to hire a teacher because you can get his services
chcapy. Your cheap teachers are not the thing
This education is a matter Tor life: and economy in
this business is misplaced. Your boys and Girls
are forming habits, and receiving Impressions which
last always. A good farmer would not engage
vicious or incompetent man to break his cattle for
him-no, not if he would do it at half price And
lastly, when you have got good school house and
good teacher, don't Imagine that you have finish
ed your business Every man who sends to the
school, should take interest enough in it, to call in
occasionally, and see how the school comes on. A
farmer would hardly set stranger at work in his
field, and pay him round price, without looking
IN to see If the business went on properly Let the
teacher feel, and the children see that you attach
some kind Of Importance to their mental and moral
training; 1t will encourage and stimulate them both
TO greater usefulness and actlvity.-GaLdry.

THE POTATO CROP.

We trust no reader will grudge the space occu-
pied by the various articles which we publish on
the Patato. Some may deem them "small po,a-
toos"--n other words Of little use AS they may
indeed bcyet the potato cropis like well irelgh-
ted vessel exposed to instant destruction, and the
farmer like the straitcned mariner, should be ready
to try every eXpcdient which gives the 1lntest
hope of safety. Though perhaps not so valuable
in the aggregate as some other of our crops, the
potato is more generally used as food Tor man and
beast than any other which this state produces and
besides, it has within few years given rise to a
new, important and profitable branch Of manuoc-
ture. The crop of lSi4 was estimated at over six
millions Of bushels if to the value of the crop is
added the cost and profit of the starch business, we
shall find that one million dollars a year will not
make up the loss to the state Of this crop.

We are requested 10 say that the reasons for fix
ing the time Of thanksgiving on the last week in
November instead ofthe first in December, as here
oore, are, that the latter time is found to interfere,
somewhat extensively, with the commencement of
the winter schools and that it is desirable TO hold
the thanksgiving, as far as practicable, in concert
with other States. In New Hampshire, Massachu-
sctts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey and
Maryland, it is fixed on the 9th of the present
month. In Maine and New York, only on the first
Thursday Of December.

HON. HORACE EATON.

given to Hon. Horace Eaton, in the peculiar man
ner in which the thanks Of the Senate were pre-

which every Senator thus expressed, and we shall

The Cheney Family, This family, who made
such a successful first appearance at the Society
Library, two or three weeks ago, will sing again
this evening at Nibo's Saloon. They have been
joined by their fourth brother from Vermont, and
will introduce several new pieces of their own com
position, among others, the Song of the Vernon

can, by the fact that the famous old white horse,
Allen, of Revolutionary fame, composed It.

The Song ofthe Vcrmonters" is a soul-stirring

Of the Cheney family: but our Impression is that it
was not written by Allen. We have heard Ma
