Lincoln Eorever 7

The democracy Of old Lincoln are entitled
TO the highest praise for their excrtions in the
recent great battle between democracy and
whig-and all other isnls The handsome
vote polled in the County indicates that de-
gree of harmony and interest in the success of
their principles prevails, which cannot fail to
result in the speedy and complete overthrow of
whiggery in the county. No earthly reason
exists why the democrats of Lincoln county,
henceforth and hereafter, may not 90 shoulder
to shoulder, in one solid phalanx, as in the last
election, to triumph and to victory. The re-
suit Of united action was-a gain Of member of
Congress, gain of two representatives to the
Legislature, the defeat of the wing Senators,

Daring Robberies in HalIoweii

On Thursday morning last, the DWELLING
house OF Mr.. William Stickney, i'm tins vii
lage, was entered and S4S taken in money.
Also two gold watches and one of silver
The house was entered by the robber obont
| o'clock, through window in the kitchen
and lamp belonging 10 the house lighted
The robber proceeded up stairs to The cham
Der occupied by Mr.. Stckney and bis vito
who were asleep, took Mr.. SIS pocket-bool
from the pocket of his coat and abstroc,ed
thereirom $45. He then proceeded 10 the
room occupied BY TWO of his sons--one If
them, the youngest, was awake but confused
and made no alarm-took SO more and the
watches, one or two of which were hanging
IN the room then went down, left the lamp
burning on The floor and went out of the
house as he came in. The Young man who
was awake, had fair view of the robber and
describes him as having a handkerchief
around his face, stick in his hand, and Ms
oeing rather thick SET man wearing a cloth
cap. The inmates Of the house. the neiob.
ools ana tie police were routed as soon as
possible alter the robbery, bur two Iate.
ne store OF MIR. Hathaway, corner Water
and winthrop streets, was also entered III
same morning-the key to the safe discover,
ed and the sale opened. One hundred onJ
twenty-five dollars were taken from , ,r,,,',.
belonging TO Mr.. Robert Pope, wa,cbmat" I'm
who had usually left the trunk there at n;a,,,,
for safe keeping. 10 or Sl2 taken from Ihe
safe. The store was entered by forcing I'M
the bar over the cellar door.
The house Of Mr. Simon Page was also en-
tered in the evening previous by a window
but the noise was discovered by Mr.. Page
who got up and called another person in The
house. 1t seems that after getting in through
the window the robber heard the voice of Mr..
Page and suddenly left. He was heard to 90
back through the window but could not b..
seen OH the outside on account of the dark
ness. This was about III o'clock in the
evening.-HallotccH Gazette,

A musical convention, under the direction
of Mr.. L. B. Woodbury., of New York, was
held at the City Hall on Saturday and Monday
last. \ large number of singers was present,
most of them, we believe, residents of our
city--and a commcndable interest was mani
tested on their part to profit by the scientific
instruction impaired. The convention gave a
concert on Saturday evening, in the hope of
obtaining funds sufficient to defray expenses
but from some cause or other, the generous
public were not there, although a few exhibit
ed an elevated taste and local pride enough to
volunteer their presence,-consequently the
burden came back upon the singers themselves.
And we must be permitted here to say, it is a
mystery to us that while ox-horn blowers,
Ethiopian serenaders, castinet and banjo play
ers line their pockets by their performances
here, exhibitions of real merit 20 a-begging.-
This cannot be, surely, a true exhibition Of the
tastes Of the people
We understand that Society is 70 be formed
for the purpose of elcvating the character of
church music in this city, and for social and
mutual instruction, if enough can be found in
terestcd in the subject to warrant the under
taking Such society is much needed and
we venture to say no better material can be
found in the State, than we have among us.

Our wing friends-or a portion of them, We
should say-seem suddenly to have taken n
strong liking to the rotation in office principle
The election in our State is no sooner over
than a terrible ''futterng'' here and in other
localities is produced by intelligence from head
quarters, of important changes about to occur
in Collection districts, Mr. Randall. tile Col
lector Of this district is superseded BY David
Bronson, of Augusta, and Mr. Blake, Of the
Waldo district, by Mr.. Faunce The whole
affair seem 10 be profound mystery, at least
TO the frank and file.'' The present incum-
bent here, had but just returned from Washing
ton, and was as much surprised as any one 10
hear the news We should not dare to ex-
press an opinion in relation 10 the matter, but
understand that the movement is accounted for
by some of the q,1dnuncs, on the ground that
Mr.. Randall's name was not borne upon that
Webster letter! If this should be well founded
our Tribune contemporary must be in bad odor
in certain quarters,

The Pleasure Of Labor.

Apart FROM the satisfaction we experience
in realizing the legitimate rewards of honest
labor, there is another and more elevated
source of happiness omanating from productive
indu-try,-thc consciousness of performing
the duties and satisfying, though impcrfcctly,
it may be, the ever sacred and important obi
cations dcvolved upon US by our social rela-
tionships, and by our accountability to Him
who is the Lord of ALL In this life man is
to be regarded merely as steward. His pow
err and property are delegated from on high
They are given to him for wise purposes, and
of them he is required to make good use-to
cultivate, assduously, the former, and increase
the latter; for the object of his being is not
limited to a mere point. or a single age, but
embraces a range as comprehensive as space,
and as unending as eternity itself. Along the
great thoroughfare of life, from the day spring
of creation, the wise, the good, and the virtu-
Gus have preceded us, and to their exertions
and the influences their actions produced, we
are in great measure indebted for much that
we possess and enjoy. Like the divergent rays
Vi the Sun, these have embraced the universe,
making men wiser and better, and fitting them,
=! silent yet ever extending action, for the

Penmanship should be more particularly at
tended to, and the pupils should endeavor to
perfect themselves in the common branches of
education. These schools might be taught by
male or female teachers
The High school would then receive schol-
ars from the Secondary, town committees hav-
ing respect to their qualifications in admitting
them TO the High school. Here they might
continue the same course of studies, paying
more particular attention to Execution and the
English language, and enter upon, and pursue
the higher branches of Mathematics, Phioso-
ply and Astronomy, and in general, all those
studies pursued in our Academies. Thus they
might acquire thorough English education
and become qualified to enter successfully upon
the pursuit of agriculture, trade or commerce.
Or, should they desire it, they might here study
the languages and prepare for College.
In our small villages and thinly settled towns,
we can hardly expect to have more than the
two FIRST grades. In that case, Secondary
schools should be taught by males, and would
embrace more extended course of studies,
than In places where the High school exists.
When circumstances are not favorable to the
institution of High schools, in any one district
or village, wa would recommend the union OF
two or more districts for the purpose of High
school, with objects and aims as intimated be-
fore. Where two districts can unite in this
manner, 1t would be greatly to the benefit Of
both-thc length of school would be increased
by about one-third, and its usefulness would be
enhanced in still greater proportion
