COMMON SCHOOLS IN OHIo.-Fron
the report of the Ohio Secretary of State
on the condition of common schools for
the past year, we learn that the whole
number of youth in the State Is s3S, 1868.
The entire number of pupils enrolled,
male and female, is 437,4I2. The ave-
rage daily attendance during the year
has been but 226, POS. There are near
ly 500 ,0G0 children who are entitled to
attend these schools, but who do not
The difference between the number of
pupils enrolled and the average atten-
dance is a still more painful fact. Either
parents or teachers are in fault when less
than fve-eights of the scholars of all the
schools in the State are present, 1t is a
fact that the enrolled number
of boys exceeds that of the girls by more
than 1000. There are 9,916 schools,
with - AGA teachers in the State, to the
latter of whom S77l las are paid as
wages. III schools houses have been
built during the year, at cost of SOL

Trees Of Oregon.-In the March num-
Der of Barry's Horticulturist, published
at Rochester, is communication from n.
Coe, of Portland, Oregon, furnishing ac-
counts of the dimensions Of several trees
of remarkable size which he measured in
that Territory; one of these trees near
Astoria, being 10 feet in diameter five
feet above the ground, l12 feet to the
first limb, and its total height 242 feet
Another one, in a forest of spruce,
cedar and fir, of about the same size,
measured thirty y-nine feet in eircumfer-
encc. Mr.. Coe says: "Gen. John Adair,
of Astoria, informs me that about three
years ago he bought a hundred thousand
shingles, all made from one cedar tree,
for which he gave fifteen hundred dollars
in gold" The tremendous size of timber
in Oregon appears to be we'll attested.

One Vote.

Within the last dozen years the Cover
nor Of Massachusetts, was twice elected by
a majority Of one. A recent paper says
that single vote sent Oliver Cromwell to
the Long Parliament, Charles Stuart to
the scaffold, revolutionized England, and
made Great Britain free. One vote gave
US the tariff in 1912, and one vote made
the tariff of 1916. One vote gave us Tex
as, and made war with Mexico, and pur-
chased California, turned thither the tide
of emigration, and will change the desti-
ny of the world Those who are in the
habit of excusing themselves from atten-
ding elections, in the belief that one vote
will not make such difference, will do well
to treasure up these facts, and act under
their influence

SINGULAR LAwsUIT-Of the many
novel causes for going to law among
the most singular is a suit now pending
in St. Louis. The parties are Charles
Stewart, plaintiff, and John r. Flemming,
defendant-and the origin of the suit, as
We understand the circumstances, are as
follows: dr. Stewart announced his m
tention to Mr. Flemming of being mar
ried, which the latter treated as a Jest.
To give assurance to the statement, Mr.
Stewart offered to give Mr.. Flemming a
ten dollar vest if the latter would agree
to pay the minister who ofieiated at the
ceremony, 852, which, on beng deman-
ded of Mr. Flemming, be refused to pay.
The suit was commenced to recover
this amount.

FAT CATrLE.-There are row in New
York at the Bulls Head, kept By the
MeSsrs. Chamberlain, in Robirson-st,
three superb cattle, called the Stoddard
Calves. They were raised and fed by
Moses Stoddard, Of Erie Co., some ten
miles from Buffalo They weigh about
4.000 lbs. each, and are owned now by
Mr. A. b. Gilbert Their ages are re-
spectfully g, and 8 years, and are all
flom one cow. We are told they are
going to be exhibited at the World 'sFais,
but will remain at Chamberlain's stables
for a week or so, when they will be taken
up to the Crystal Palace. They came to
Albany by the cars: and were brought
from thence by steamboat. These cattle
are the same that obtained the premium
at the State Fair at Utica. They are
noble animals, all, and credit to old
Erie, as they are to the State at large.
