THE SCHOOL PETITIoNs.-The Committee
on Education allowed second hearing, on
Friday, to the petitions for the abolition of the
Board of Education, the distribution of the
school fund, sc. B. Winsow Packard, OF
one of the Bridgewaters, made a speech, read
something from our Auburn school report for
1858, and variety of statistics, somewhat
loose and faacious in their character. Mem.
bers of the Legislature from Stoughton, Marsh
field, Scituate, Bridgewater and other towns
in that section of the state, appeared before
the committee and stated that a majority of the
people did not desire a change, ard that the
names attached to the petitions were in many
cases of persons who were not friends Of
education, but might have been as readily at
tached to any other petitions as these. Mr..
Geo. B. Emerson, Ex-Gov. Boutwell, and 9TH
ers, appeared against the petitions Hon. Mr.
Whiting of Marshfield, said large majority of
the intelligent citizens Of that vicinity were
opposed to granting the petition,

MASSACHUSETTS, LEGIsLATURE.
THURSDAY, Feb. 16.
SEN

SENATE.
Charles Nation, Judge of Probate and In
solvency of Franklin County, petitioned for
pay for services rendered in Worcester Coun-
ty. The movement for biennial sessions of
the Legislature was killed in the Senate by
large vote. The resolves in aid of the West
field and Salem Normal Schools, and making
other appropriations from the school fund,
were laid on the table for the time. The Com
mittee on Claims reported resolve in favor of
Gilbert Walker Of Worcester for payment for
Indian disbursements. The Committee on
Banks and Banking reported bill fixing the
number of directors for banks in proportion to
their capital
HOUSE.
Several petitions were presented from the
western counties for legislation against slave
hunting, and few from the south shore, for
change of the school laws
The Committee on Banks and Banking re-
ported bills to increase the capital stock of sew
eral banks located in Boston and vicinity.
The bill relating to Trial Justices was passed
to be engrossed. 1t provides that towns in
which there are no police courts shall "desig-
nate" by ballot, in November next, and every
third year thereafter, some suitable person to
| be appointed Trial Justice. The same rule
applies to cities where there is no police court,
with the exception that three justices are to be
designated instead of one. From the persons
| designated, the Governor and Council are to
select the proper number of justices for each
county, to hold for three years. The commits
slonS OF all Trial Justices, in force on the 31st
OF December next, are to expire on that day.

SABBATH SCFooI FEsTIvAL.-The festival
of the sabbath school connected with the First
Baptist Church, at Washburn Hall, was con-
tinued through yesterday, and large numbers
were present at the dinner as well as st other
times during the day. In the evening there
was large attendance. After proper atten-
ton had been bestowed upon refreshments
provided, the Superintendent, Mr.. a. l.. Bur
bank, called the assembly to order at half-past
eight o'clock, and after some Introductory re-
marks, introduced Rev. Messrs. Jones and
Wayland, who entertained the company in
brief and pertinent addresses. Then there fol-
lowed dialogue on the authenticity OF the Bi
BILE, in which Miss Arabella Barns appeared as
teacher, and Misses Susan Berry and Emma
Lanckton as scholars. They acquitted them
selves well in their efforts.
Rev. Mr.. Souther was then introduced, and
he spoke of the benefits of Sabbath schools
Nellie Minis, little girl ten years old, then re-
cited, very effectively and creditably, Mrs.
Norton's beautiful poem 'Bingen on the
Rhine" She won much applause by the ex-
cellence of her defamation and her clear,
firm utterance. During the evening there
was much good singing by the choir, and by
the children of the school.
The receipts have melted large sum for
the benefit of the school, amounting to not
less than $3.50. Nearly 700 tickets were sold.
The sale of articles at the close of the fair,
contributed to make up the large amount
realized

BURNING FLUID IN CHURoH.-On Sunday
last, at st. Thomas, franklin county, as Rev.
Mr. McCord was about to commence preach
ing his farewell sermon, in the Methodist
Episcopal Church-the church being filled
with people-a camphene lamp hanging in the
aisle exploded, to the great CONSERVATION OF
the congregation. The scene that ensued was
awful for a few minutes. Every person sup.
posed that the whole house was on fire. The
ladies became very much frightened. Some of
them tainted, and all screamed at the top of
their voices. A rush was made for the door.
In the excitement, some person dreading the
consequences OF delay, bounded through one
of the windows, carrying out SASH glass and
everything else. Although for a while all
thought that escape from death or serious in.
jury would be impossible, yet no person was
hurt. The floor Of the building caught fire,
but the flames were soon etxinguished.
