OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER OF COMMON I
Schools Columbus, o., April, 1854.
The great number of questions arising un-
der the present school law, and the import
ance of having thorough understanding by
It's officers, OF the provisions of the law. and
a uniform policy pursued in all the counties
IN Its administration, have imposed the ne
cessity OF having some medium of commu-
nication with those officers; and the Com
missioner has gladly availed himself of the
Ohio Journal of Education for this purpose
All my official decisions and opinions have
been, and will continue to be, published in
the Journal; and it is my opinion that coun-
ty auditors will be justified in subscribing
for copy for their own use, and one (or
more) for the board of school examiners
and that township boards may order it for
the township clerk, and the clerk of each sub
district, and include the cost Of the same in
their annual estimate of money to be raised
in accordance with the first clause of the 22d
section of the school law.
The copies so taken should of course, be
kept on file in their respective offices, and be
transmitted to their successors in Office.

BAD FOR BEEF -EATERs.-T N. Y. Tri-
bune of Tuesday says:-Beef cattle sold
yesterday at Bulls Head, in 44th street,
higher upon the average than at any time
since the spring of '39, when Steinberger,
the great cattle speculator, obtained control
over all the beeves in the country, having
for time the power to regulate every mar
ket in the United States, and then failed for
"a million and half of dollars. At pres
Ient there is no great speculator or combina-
tlon of speculators, further than a sort of
mutual understanding among cattle brokers
at this market for the general regulation of
trade
There is great reluctance on the part of
butchers to pay the high prices, and one
of the heaviest of them failed the other day
for $3.50 000 and the whole fraternity seem
to have been struggling hard to keep going
for year post being all the time in hopes
that things would take turn" They
have, but unfortunately, the turn has been
the wrong way The prospect now looks
worse than ever Cattle grow higher and
higher Whole droves sold yesterday at
prices estimated equal to shilling pound
for beef in the quarters. The profit of the
hide and tallow, after deducting expenses, is
but small, leaving the quarters upon the
stall at l23 cents pound,

observation-disclosures, &c.-The
Island Of Cuba-which is now in conse-
quenCe of recent occurrences, engaging a
large share of attention in the minds of the
American public-is one of the most valua-
bic districts of territory in the world. It's
annual productions "a southern paper states)
comprise Sl3,5O0,O0O worth Of sugar, 3d.
100000 worth Of tobacco, 81, 100000 worth
of coffee, S2,000,000 worth of corn, and
S7 100000 worth of other agricultural pro-
duce. The grand total of its productions,
including dairy and domestic animals, aver
ages $59 100000 per annum. The popula-
ton of the Island in 1911, was l,007,6 ,624,
including 4l8.39l whites, 429,39l slaves,
and l5l ,S38 free colored people. Five years

VINO PAYS 1T is estimated that the ex-
pense to the people of the United States, of
arresting, guarding, trying and returning the
slave Burns, will reach $4,000. No such
expense would have been necessary if the
right of trial by jury, which the constitution
Of the United States pretends to make sacred
to every man, without distinction Of COM
plexion, had been recognized by the fugitive
slave law. Where every one is allowed his
legal and constitutional rights, there is no
such sympathy as is manifested in this case.
The sooner the proper amendment is made to
that law. the sooner such scenes as those en-
acted in Boston will pass away, and the soon
er slave owners will be enabled to reclaim
their stray property without peril or extra
expense. y Buffalo Rep.

of which constitutes % chapter"
