SCHOOL BOOKS.

We published few weeks since, and again
last week, a list of the books recommended by
the Board of Education, to be used in the pub
lie schools of Vermont We understand that
it is not the desire of the Board to have any
sudden and unnecessary change made in school
books but that when new books are needed or
desired those which they have designated are
recommended as, in their opinion, the most
suitable to be purchased and used. This change
is not compulsory, and in the way proposed will
be gradual and but little burdensome. In some
cases there may be an advantage in an immedi-
ate change. If our children are studying poor
or imperfect hooks it may be clear gain to sell
them for paper-rags, and put new ones into
their hands. An error early learned is very
difficult to correct.
In looking at the list proposed we think the
Board have discharged their duty with toler-
able share of discretion, having, perhaps in
some instances an eye to the price of the books
and the extent to which some of them are now
used, rather than to the relative merits of the
series in a literary point of view. The Arith-
metics-Greenleaf series and Colburn's Intel
lectual--have long been before the public and
are extensively used. Nothing can be better
than Colburns Mental Arithmetic We remem-
Der hearing Horace Mann say that in his opin-
ion it is the only perfect school book he had ever
met with. Greenleafs book might be improved
by simplifying some things and excluding 9TH
ers. Their chief fault is the introduction OF
long, puzzling problems Of no practical utility.
The Grammars-To Elements or Browns
First Series of English Grammar for beginners
and Wells's Grammar of the English language
or Bullions Analytical and Practical English
Grammar for advanced pupils-are all works OF
merits but we are of opinion that it would have
been better to recommend only two of these in
stead of the four. Towers Elements and
Weiss Grammar would have been sufficient.
Cornells Biographies are well executed and
are valuable works.
The Readers recommended are not all o.
equal merit. We think the Primer will be yer,
popular among our young friends, and thai
teachers will prefer the Progressive Speaker
and Common School Reader to the Fourth ant
Fifth Readers of the series. To our notion
billiards. series of Readers are better thar
them all.

THE NEWSPAPER.

Lol when it comes before the cheerful fire,
Da,nps from the press IN smoky curls aspire,
(As from the earth, the sun exhale the dcw,)
Ere we can read the wonders that ensue;
Then, eager every eye surveys the part
That brings its fivoriic subject to the b cart;
Crave politicians look for facis alone,
And gravcly add coniec'ures to their own;
The sprighily nymph, who never broke her rest
For tottering crowns, or mighty lands oppressed,
Finds broils and battles bit neglccts them all,
For songs, and suits, birthday, or ball;
The keen, warm man o'erlooks each idle tale,
For "Monies Wanted and "Estates on Sale;"
While some with equal minds 10 all attend,
Pleased with each part, and grieved to find an end
To This all readers turn, and they can look
Pleased on paper, who abhor n book.
Those who meier deiged their Bible to pernsc,
Would think it hard TO he denied their news.
Sinners and saints, the wisest with the weak,
Here mingles tastes, and one amusement seek.
This, like the public inn, provides treat,
Where each promscu0n, guest sits down 10 eat
And such this mental food, as we may call,
Something to all men, and to some men all.

ARRAIGNED AND SENTENcED.--The sad sight
was seen in the Court this afternoon of four
young criminals, the Oldest hardly twenty years
old pleading guilty to high crimes against the
peace and dignity of the State, and receiv-
ing their sentences. Gustavus c. Bancroft and
Henry Aubery, the young burglars who broke
open and robbed Bradleys book stoor, were
severally sentenced to four years of hard labor
in the States prison. John Buckley plead gull
ty TO stealing horse and wagon, belonging to
w. & ID. Matthews, livery stable keepers of this
States prison. Augustus Labarque, for grand
larceny, committed in Shelburne was sentenced
to one year in the States prison. Henry Du-
pas, was also brought up for the burglary com
mitted in the store of MIR Rhodes in Essex, the
expectation being that he would plead guilty
He altered his mind, however, at the last mo-
ment, and plead Not Guilty and his case was
accordingly certified to the County Court for
trial.-Bulington Free Press.

EDWIN HAMMOND, Pres't.


The way in which the title of ID. ID. is often

nate medioancy. The Rev. A. is pastor of a
congregation with half dozen rich men in it,
The Rev. A. has printed Thanksgiving ser
mon, and knows as much theology as he imbi-
bed in listening six months to the projections of
Dr. Dozy SO, in consideration of his eminent
attainments in divine science, the Rev. A. is
made Doctor OF DIVINITY, ana forthwith sets
to work helping squeeze the said half dozen
sponges for the colleges good. The Rev. b..
pastor of the church in Leatherhead. is some
what shaky in his position. Sundry uneas,
bretheren desire change. So very intelligent
a congregation as Leatherhead requires a min.
lister of higher distinction. Friends of the
Rev. b. pull certain wires the trustees Of
Gingerpop University become impressed with
his merits, and he is duly authenticated a Doc.
tor of Divinity. The Leatherhead bretherer
either find his sermons greatly improved, Oh
some other congregation covets the Rev. Doc
tor for pastor and gives him loud call, which
after much deliberation and prayer, he accepts
The Rev. c., as a pis alter, is chosen presiden
of Log College, near the head waters of Mis-
souri, river. 70 match his honors with his for

The Rev. ID. is located agent of the-societ,

To return the compliment, the Rev +. at tn,

DESERVING A SINKING CRAFT.-The Demo-
Gratis of New Hampshire at their late State Con-
vention adopted the following resolution:

Nenton auOpteu the lOllOWlnS resolution
"Resolred That the present national administration
in its successful efforts TO advance the of COM
municaton between remote sections of our country
TO improve treaty relations and extend the field of
commercial enterprise in its firm maintenance Of the
freedom Of the and the sanctity of the American
flag and in its efforts to promote the general interests
of Onr country, commends itself to the hearty support
of the democracy of New Hampshire"
A federal ofiice-holder moved to substitute
for the above resolution endorsing the domes-
tic as well as the foreign policy of James Blu
chanan, but it was voted down by more than
three to one. The democrats of the Granite
State are not at all squeamish in the matter of
politics. They have resolved against slavery,
and in favor of the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, and they have agreed to oppose the
extension of the institution and almost in the
same breath praised poor Pierce for attempting
to force it upon Kansas. 1t is not for a mo-
ment to be supposed that they would hesitate
to commend the Kansas policy of Buchanan did
not the common instinct of self preservation
warn them against embarking in such failing
craft. Even rats, it is said, will desert a sink
ing ship, and there is no reason to suppose that
political depradators have less instinct than vo-
racious vermin.

FIRST Gun AFTER DoUGIAs's ELECTION
The Chicago Times, on the next day after the
reelection of Senator Douglas, has remarka-
BILE article, considering the undoubted relation
of organship which the paper has sustained to
that gentleman. 1t frankly declares that an
''unwilngness to embarrass a political contest
in which our friends had deep personal inter-
'est has for many months restrained us from
that free and candid expression of our Judgment
of the acts of the administration of Mr.. Buchan-
IAN that we would like to have given to our
readers" Then the article reviews the politi-
cal acts of the 'od man., as it irreverently terms
President Buchanan, in the most sarcastic STYLE.
"Since the opening of 1885," it continues, THE
administration has been, it would seem, endeav-
'oring to sound the lowest depths of political
'mcanness" The bill ofparticulars it is not nee
cssary to copy 1t displaysmore bitterness than
has been exhibited by any avowed opposition
paper in the country. But the chief significance
of the article, other than as an ebulition of per-
sonal resentment, lies in the following language
used with regard to the President:
Ale has told them the Illinois peope) that if they
reelected Douglas they should not be represented a,
Charcston and Douglas, having been reelected, /,
remains to be whether the royal edct will be car
red ont The man who proclaimed it, the men who
sgated it, and those who confirm it by their action
may never hope TO hear the approving voice of the
American people. They mag triumph al Charleston. IN
The contention, but God help them before The people,"
