The members Of the Board, we believe, re-
gard our present school system as a decidedly
good one. They see no reason for making, or
recommending at pleseut, any change in the
form Of it. With all the practical DEFICIENCIES
and errors that are found in every part of the
state, the system has yet, as system, worked
we'll and its excellent results are seen in the
general intelligence, the mental activity and
force, the practical talent, the enterprise and
thrift, that characterize our population. Even

degree Of intellectual activity and a spirit OF
Improvement which we may have been too slow
to recognize and appreciate. The present Law,
too, contains provisions which only need to be
called into proper activity in order To remedy
some Of the evils that are most generally felt.
| In a word, what We need is, new lie more than

As We understand the position Of affairs
therefore, all apprehension OF revolutionary pro
cecdings on the part Of the Board, If anyW here

by the Board aims simply at the inlusing o

of seventeen, whom our Barre readers will
probably recognize
"a young lady, daughter of clergyman

pose of teaching, She took the route down the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers. She had some
splendid specimens of Oriental painting. On
their way down the Mississippi. she was about

men of the boat passengers. A friend sug-
gesled that she had better put them up to be
seen for small compensation. She did so.
and received thirty dollars. A lady on the
boat wished to learn the art. and gave thirty
dollars for her instruction. The captain ofthe
boat being single man, became quite charmed
with the fair painter, and offered himself to her.
This she was obliged to decline in the most af-
ieciionae manner, being already engaged.
When they arrived at New Orleans, the Cap.
tain provided the best accommodations for her.
and during her stay bestowed every attention.
A lady in New Orleans wished TO learn Orien-

The Passumpsic Road.

We are gratfed to learn that measures are
completed for the extension Of the Connecticut
and Passumpsc Railroad to the Can ida line
This is n first class road, which now terminates
at St. Johnsbury, Vt. So successfully have
been the financial affairs managed, that arrange
inents we're made last year for It's extension,
the road being located as far as Barton. Mr.
A. p Balch, the well known contractor, has
prosecuted the work So successfully that three
iourths of this new track is graded orders
have gone out for the rails and he will com
mence laying them in the spring. The luca-
ton did not proceed beyond Barton on account
of disagreemenis as 10 rival routes and &C
cordlngly, by prior contract, the decision, was
submitted to James Hayward, Onslnv Sterns,
and Jonathan Adams, the chief engineer of the
combany, whose decision should be final
They have decided for what is known as " The
Western Route by the way of Newport,
which will give a connection with the beautiful
MemphremaGog Lake-a sheet of water fifty
miles IN length. This will make splendid
travelling route to Montreal and Quebec, as the
road will connect with the steamer that Plies
constantly through this lake while il remains
open. The last location terminates at Lake
Bridge, the further location towards the Cana
da roads being left open for the present
Thus the extension Of this important line is
secured, beyond hardly doubt, 10 its counec-
lion with the Canada roads and will open up
a direct commercial railiuld intercourse with
the splendid region Of northern Vermont. This
promises to attract 10 Boston heavy trade that

New Hampshire.

The republican state convention Of New IIamp-
shire was held at Concord on the 18th Of January.
At that convention Hon. WILLIAM HALE Of Hins-
dale was nominated for Governor.
Without entering at all into the merits Of local
ity as they have been discussed with reference to
this nomination, We cannot fortear expressing our
qualification at the nomination of so worthy and
popular man as Mr.. Halle. lie is not a lawyer nor
has he enjoyed the advantages usually urcd from
long course of professional training. But he is
possessed of other and equally valuable advantages
that render his nomination eminently fit to be
made As an active, entcrprising and sagacious
business nan he has no superior in his section of
that state. lie has had large experience in pub
lie affairs as representative and senator. In these
stations he has uniformly secured the good will of
all by his honesty of purpose, and fidelity to prin-
ciple.
We shall expect to see his nomination ratified at
the polls by unprecedented majority.
