PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
corresnondancc Of he Scntincl

correspondence 81 tfe ocNttNct.
Mr.. EpIToR: Suffer me to address you
a brief communication, suggested by
your remarks in late paper, upon q
subject, which all must deem of vital
importance, viz: the School Bill for this
county passed at the late session of the
Legislature.
That there was need for such legisla-
ton is too notorious to require proof.
Although the school managers under The
old law, doubtless, did all in their power
to foster education; Yet they felt and de-
plored their limited field of action; and
in every section of the county, the desire
has been expressed. that some change in
the system should be made.
That the School Bill will be approved
in all its items, by everybody, is not to
be expected. since all cannot view things
in the same light, and since no human
instrument is perfect. But certainly all
will agree that it is an improvement upon
the old no system. It's provisions are al
most identical with those which, in other
counties of our State, work we'll; and VIC
think there are none such as to prevent
every friend of education (Which every
citizen should BED from rallyiug to its
support. If that sure teacher, expert.
cnee, should, ia tue future, disclose &C.
fects, they can easily be rcmedied.
Your correspondent is no partisan, and
docs not propose to elbow anybody's
trumpet. lie has no connection with
this bill which is not common to every
citizen Blu. this is subject. entirely
removed from party considerations; and
which, it is most devoutly to be wished
viii ever be Kept distinct from such in.
Auences. 1t is a subject which appeals
to the dearest interest Of every house
hold ; and whilst our youth are growing
up uneducated Or but imperfectly edu.
Gated, there should be no delay coca
stoned by differences of opinion upon
minor points.
lnasmueb as no system Of public in
structlon, can be entirely successful, un
I'll the people become interested therein
the object of this communication is tt
elicit the views, and invoke the activ,
exertions Of friends of education in thc
county. Let not the busy whirl of tht
approaching political contest divert at
tention from this much more importan
interest. Let the press, the public lee
ture, and social influence unite in di
recting the whole population to the con
sideration Of the subject Of education
and let the plans of the School Commits
sioners be examined ir candid and lib
oral spirit And when wen conducts
school is established within the reach 0
every child. this generation will have ac
complished work for which the mex
viii bless il; and our good old county 0
Montgomery will assume that rank in til
State, to which it is entitled by its man
fold natural advantages. j

TERRIBLE RAIR--Flse Children
Burned to Death -On the night Of the
18th instant, the dwelling house Of Hum
phrey Owens, in Goshen township, Ma
hening county, Ohio, was burned to the
ground, 1--WE Of his children perisbing in
the conhagration. The following are
the particulars of the sad affair:
"The family had retired at a very
early hour, and were all sound asleep &C
little after seven. About half past
seven Mr. Owens was awakened by the
smoke filing his room, and springing
from his bed, found the house wrapped in
flames. He succeeded in getting his
wife, with her infant ten days old, out of
doors, and then commenced throwing
water upon the staircase, which had
taken fire and was blazing furiously,
hoping to preserve way of escape for
bis children, who were sleeping above.
He succeeded in awakening his daughter,
young woman with whom two of the
younger children were sleeping; taking
the youngest in her arms and arousing
the other, and bidding him follow her,
she hurried down the blazing stairway
as she passed the stairway, surrounded
with fame, her father threw bucket Of
water over her, and she was enabled to
escape with the little boy in her arms,
both seriously; but not dangerously
burned The older one. probably over
come with sleep, remained 10 the room.
and with four other brothers in another
room, whea no efforts could arouse, was
consumed with the building. The fire
is supposed to have originated from a
bucket of ashes which one of the boys
bad set ia the wood shed adjoining tn,
west side of the building, when kindling
the fire in the morning. Those who es.
capped saved nothing but their sleeping
apparel. Mrs Owens had to walk bare
footed and unclad, save in her nigh
dress, with her child in her arms, ovei
the frozen ground, near a quarter of 0
mile to fnd shelter. The children
burned were all boys, the oldest abou
eleven years, the youngest about three
