MASTER" from the pen of the wellknown author
of" The Green Mountain hoys," &C.. really
possessed any value from its bearings upon the
subject ofCommon School Education, has led me
to read and examine the work.
Considered merely in the light of a fictitious
narrative, the thorough-gohg novel-reader, long.
ing for exhibitions ofwild adventure and NOV
ing accidents" would not probably find his long
ings fully satisfied in its perusal. Bur the work
has higher aim. It's purpose is to show the
success of efforts for selfeGucation TO illustrate
the importance of awakening thought in the pro-
cess of education; to exhibit tho superiority OF
solid learning over superficial accomplishments
and to throw out useful suggestions upon the con-
structon of school. houses, and upon other kin
bred topics. Parents, teachers aud pupils may
read the book to advantage, for it contains prof
liable hints for them all.
but the work, although its general scope and
purpose are as above indicated, is not, by any
means, devoid Of interest as a story. The pleas

PERFECTLY DfABoLrcAL.-The Bee states
they have been informed that the recent melan-
choly catastrophe, on the Vermont and Massa-
chusctts Railroad, was less the result Of accden,
than design. 1t is said that the nuts on two
bolts, essential to the stability Of the bridge, were
removcd-and to this circumstance alone the
destruction of the bridge is traced. There had
been some trouble among the laborers on the
road and portion Of them had "struck,"a day
or two preceding Hints were then thrown ont
foreshadowiug a result similar to the dreadful
calamity at Athol--and suspicion has fallen or
two persons as the guilty parties. An invcsti
cation will be Instituted Immediately. If there
is guilt in this affair, we trust it will be brought
to light. - Boston atlas.

THE LATEST HUMBUG

That has come under our notice is an anony
nous sheet against bridging the lake, gravely ar
gung that Vermont has not the right to give her
consent to the construction Of a bridge over her
own waters. The absurdily Of this position is
rendered resplendcnlly ridiculous by the grand
argument in its support, 10 wit: that if the LIE
gslature may lawfully bridge the lake, it may
lawfully fill il up! AS well might it be said that
if Vermont may grant fe,ry she may close up
the Lakes or that if she may grant bridge over
Connecticut River, she may fill it up, and flood
a respectable part Of creation, and Canada to
boot. This argument, however, was unfortunate
ly never discovered until now, and former Legs
latures have most innocenty granted ferries on
the Lake and bridges over the Connecticut.
That Congress may have jurisdiction over the
Lake, may be true but it by no means follows
that New York and Vermont must therefore be
precluded from giving their assent 10 bridge.
Congress may interfere against both states: and
if it is so, it is another guaranty to the lake in
terests that they never will be put to any serious
inconvenience or injury If the commerce with
Canada is of great national Importance, and if
the inconvenience of bridge ooW be Noticeable,
then will Congress doubtless interfere TO pre-
vent the evil. There is no danger then, in
granting the bridge. Upon the whole, we sus-
pect the friends Of the bridge will be much obi
gcd to the very learned gentleman for this new
argument. 1t is a pity that he has "hdden his
light" so long, and even now permitted himself
to stick it into lantern which nobody will own.
New Hampshire, iliberal as she has been, long
ago granted bridge over navgable waters be-
tween her and Maine and that, too, for COM
mon highway yet Congress never intcrfered
