Dixon CIRcULAR.-The Forty Madison
Lawyers who feed at Miller's crib are send
ing out circulars advocating the election Of
Dixon; these circulars contain the letter Of
MARSHAL M. STRONG. Z. copy Of ON
printed list of names accidentally fell iho
the hands Of the chairman of the Repub-
lican state central committee, and the result
is our folks are being served with the DGxoN
STRoNG CtRcuLARs. We are sold. The
smell of treaehery was SO strong last
week in the atmosphere about Madison that
the Legislature was in a hurry to adjourn
1t was doubted whether in the confusion
any appropriation would be made for the
several institutions Of state pride to which
the forty donkeys Of Miller are SO dearly
attached. May the deceitfully wise be
taken in their craft and be colls;1ned to
the tombs! Vote for A, Scott Sloan and LEI

PLYNoUTH sABBATH SCHOOL CONCEET.-
This school will repeat the programme Of
the concert last week tomorrow evening, at
Melodeon Hall. The concert Of last week,
owing to the stormy weather, was but very
slimly attended, and it is the desire of Mr..
T. S. Wadsworth, who has expended much
time in teaching these little ones, that the
public shall be made acquainted with the
proficiency to which they have arrived. He
has also been induced to repeat the concert
through the solicitations of many Of those
who were present last week, and who have
expressed themselves in terms OF the highest
commendation. For ourselves, We may say
that we were never more completely and ct
the same time sgreeably surprised than on
hearing the singing Of these children. It is
the intention Of the managers of this school,
as we understand it, TO make singing a
prominent feature in the children's educa-
tion, and to this end piano has been pur-
chased, upon which there is something still
due. The profits Of this concert will be
used for clearing of this debt. Go and as
sist this meritorious object.

~ The following communication we
publish with pleasure. The compliment
paid to Mr.. oatman is a justly merited one
CEEYELAED, Dec. "a, 1850.
Ma. EDIToRs-Please allow me in your
columns to call the attention Of our citizens
TO the very great importance Of retaining the
services Of those teaehers IN our Public
schools who, by their long experience in
teaching, have merited the title Of " model
instructors" r .ErrI.. ~.
1t is the sad record Of the past, that those
communities which have not been careful to
secure and retain the best teachers, have s1F.
fsred irrepsrable loss in the moral and intel
lectual training Of their children.
Hence, we much regret that one Of our
best instructors will soon leave us. We al
lude to Mr.. oatman. Be assured that our
citizens wiz sustain loss by Mr.. O.'s de-
parture. He is an excellent teaeher, and
ranks Among the first in his profession, in
his untiring and persistent efforts in obtain
ing cheerful and implicit obedience to his
requirements; in establishing and maintain
ing excellent school discipline; IN securing
the esteem and affection Of his pupils and,
finally, in eIucidating, in the most thorough
manner, whatever he teaches.
It will be very difficult to ell Mr.. Oatman'u
place in the Rockwell Street School, Of which
he is Principal. He has been eminently
successful IN raising the condition Of this
school 10 a very high standard Of excel
lence.
We learn that he viii soon enter upon the
| double duties Of Superintendent and Teach
ers Of Public Schools in a neighboriug city
and we rejoice that his usefulness Is q teach
or and Christian gentleman are appreciated.
We wish him abundant success ii his new
enterprise. 50a YERIT1s.

Communication
To Ansel Roberts, Secretary Board Of Eaucq-
ton. tlt t
Sir According to your request, we have
examined the BroWnell street School House,
with reference to the strength Of the build
ing, and hereby respectfully submit: The
building, As feet by IS feet, on the ground,
and about 40 feet in height above the stone
foundations with three stories, varying from
~ to Is feet in the clear height, each, is
constructed with outside Walls of brick and
one longitudinal party wall through the
first two stories. Also one transverse wall
through the first story, the outside walls one
and one-half brick in thickness, and the
party walls one brick, or about 8 inches
thick. The walls are all standing true as
first built, and show no cracks or other signs
of having ever been strained or sprung by
any pressure Of the winds or other cause
The walls are light for 50 high building,
but are 50 arranged in the structure as to
make it relatively strong one. After afun
examination Of the premises, and careful
consideration of the real character of the
strueture, in view of the disposition Of the
walls, we see no reason to apprehend any
danger that the building viii be thrown
down, or otherwise seriously impaired by
any storms Of wind which may be supposed
