Free Schools.

We make the annexed extract from the Present
ment OF the Grand Jury of Richand District, made at
the late Term Of the Court. We hope the subject will
be taken up by all the Grand Jures Of the State and
that it will be kept before the eyes Of Legislators
at least until some effort is made to improve the pres
| cnt system:
"Thc Grand Jury further present, as worthy
Of grave consideration, the insutiicicncy of our
present system of Free Schools, and the total in
adequacy of the fund appropriated by the Legis-
laturc for that object.
The chef difficulty that has attended the prac-
teal operation of our Free School establishment
has been owing not only to the cause just mcn-
toned but to the sparse population Of many
neghborhoods, rendering it extremely inconve-
nient for children at distance to give their daily
attendance at the school.house. This, It is sup
posed, may be rcmcdicd, by adopting a more en-
larged plan, with larger appropriations of money.
Among the plans suggested, and that which has
met with most favor in the jury room, is the es-
tablishmcnt of manual labor schools, for illstruc-
tion in agriculture or the mechanic arts in con-
nection with the ordinary branches of education,
at which the children of INDECENT parents may
be fed, clothed, and instructed at the public ex-
pense
In government like ours where the vote of
every man is, and should be, of equal value in
elections, and where Il large majority of the male
population are liable, as jurors, to sit in judgment
upon the life or property of the citizen, it is Of

TIE NEWSPAPER IN FAMILY.-A school
teacher, who has been engaged long time in
his profession, and witnessed the influence Of a
paper upon the minds of family of children,
writes to the editor of the Ogdensburg Sentinel
as follows:
have found it to be a universal fact, without
exception, that those scholars, Of both sexes and
of all ages, who have had access to newspapers
at home, when compared with those who do not,
arc
l. Better readers, excelng in pronunciation
and emphasis, and consequently read more un-
derstandingy.
2. They arc better spoilers, and define words
with greater ease and accuracy.
8. They obtain practical knowledge of geo,
graphy, in almost half the time it requires Others
as the newspapers has made them familiar with
the location of the important places, nations,
their governments and doings Oh the globe.
4. They are better grammarians, for having
bccomc so familiar with every variety Of style,
in the newspaper, from the common place ad-
ycrtiscmcnt to the finished and classical Grafton
of the statesmen, they more readily comprehend
the meaning of the text, and consequently ana
I'VE its construction with accuracy.
5. They write better compositions, using bet
ter language, containing more thoughts, more
clearly and conncctedy expressed
G. Those young men who have for years been
readers of the newspapers are always taking the
lead in the debating society, exhibiting a more
extensive knowledge upon greater variety Of
subjects, and expressing their views with greater
fuency clearness, and correctness in their use o
language.

the utmost Importance that those who exercise
these great privileges should do so understanding
ly. They should, by course OF moral and in
tellectual training be prepared to elevate to Of
flee the most .meritorous, and be capable OF cor
rectly deciding, as jurymen, upon the rights OF
person or property.
BY making education more general among
our citizens, their sphere of usefulness would be
greatly enlarged; and talents would he brought
into the full blaze Of day" which are now, and
have heretofore been, hid amid the shades OF
poverty, ignorance, and vice.
The Grand Jury recommend to the Legislature
an appropriation, annually, Of one hundred thou
sand dollars, Tor more should it be found neces-
sary,) for the purpose Of putting into successful
operation Free School System upon the plan
herein indicated, and that the same be persevcred
in until the great objects contemplated shall be
fully realized. The Grand Jury are Of opinion
that the expenditure of one hundred, or one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, annually, to
secure the full operation of such Free School
System as is here suggested, will be more than
repaid to the State, in the possession of an ell
tcrprising, industrious and educated native poPu,
lation.

True Greatness.

Those who have been blessed in early life with p-
Gus parents have much for which they should be pro-
foundly grateful. How many striking and beautiful
examples of early religious instructions have we in the
history of some of the truly great of our country
the brightest and most illustrious of which is WASH
INGroN He was taught from early infancy the prln-
cpes of truth and virtue and on no account whatever
could he be induced to swerve rom the path of duty
even in childhood. From whence then does true
greatness come? At this day there are many kinds
of greatness and it is not often that we see goodness
and greatness combined; the who is truly great,
in the fullest acccptaton Of the term must be also tru-
" good. Such men as WASHINGTON are rarely to be
found and every age does notproduce his equal taking
him in all. We may, without indulging too far, eX-
claim:
'tLong shall we seek his likeness-long in vain,
And turn to all of him which may remain,
Signing that nature formed such men, but one
And broke the die, in moulding Washington"
Nor is it saying too much when we class the beloved
and reverenced" Calhoun with those who were truly
great His life is striking example of how great a
man may become In q letter written on the private
life of Mr. CALHOUN just tribute has been paid to his
greatness. 1Hc a'il!loIeSS, \hlSS DAircD aoho' ~
what are to ascribc the formation ofsuch charac-
ter? There must have been causes for such effects
Whence came his temperance his selfdenial, his in
corruptibe integrity his fidelity in every duty his love
for mankind his indcGtigablc efforts for the good OF
Others and his superiority to those things which the
natural heart most Graves? Mr.. CALHouN's child
hood was spent among the glorious works OF nature,
and was sheltered from the temptations which abound
in promiscuous society. lie the son of pious pa
rents and by them he taught the Bible and from
that source undoubtedly his native gifts were perfected
Il have understood that from carly life he was an
advocate for the doctrines of the Bible understood
by orthodox Christians"
In this we may clearly infer that the early training
of Mr. CALHOUN, was such as to fix i'll his mind the
srctest regard for truth and virtue and Of which lis
after life was such bright and glorious example.
"The muse forbids the virtuous man to die.
And consccratcs his name 10 Immortality.
These among many are examples OF true greatness.

The Grand Jury of the u S. Court for the
Southern District of New York have made pre-
sentiment to the Court on the sub jcct of the
steamboat disasters which have recently occurred
upon the Hudson River. They attribute these
dastcrs and their fatal results to three principal
causes. First, the constant violation of the 7th
section of the Act of Congress Of 1888, which
requires all vessels propelled by steam when
stopped for whatever purpose to blow. off steam,
so as to keep the head Of steam as near as prac-
ticablc to what it is when the boat is in motion,
Second, that all the boats or the Hudson river
arc very insufficiently provided with any proper
equipment either for cxtinguishing fire or for
saving the lives of passengers in case Of disaster
to the boat; and third, to the fact that the prac
tice of racing has become Of late very general
and constant with the boats on that river The
inry call the attention of the law officers Of the
United States to these statements.
