COMMON SCHOOLS.

Messrs. BARNS: Knowing that the
News is read in many of the families o
Grand Haven, and has general circula
tion in the other towns in the county,
would respectfully solicit little space il
your columns, upon the subject of educa
ton, rs connected with our common
schools, and will promise not 10 exhaust
your patience in rhetorical hourishes,
but will enGeavor 10 touch the subject in
light touching upon some of the duties
and moral obligations of teachers, scholars
and patrons of schools.
Saying that our institution Of common
schools is second in Importance TO no 9th
or, is doing only what, probably, every
one would willingly admit in word, YET
how very few attest the truth of thai
acknowledgement, in practical exhibi
ton of interest on that subject.
In contrasting the cottlition of things
among us, with those of other parts o
our country, it is not the least cause fol
gratitude, that while throughout the Soutl
all educational institutions have been sus
pended, we have the ability, and, what is
of more Importance, the disposition tc
continue uninterruptedly the operation o
our common school system.
At convention, recently held in Vir
ginia, a very violent speech was made
against the North, by one of the celebrat
ed members, and among the institutions
principally spoken against was that of ou
free schools, scorning the practice Of put
ting in privileges of education, the chill
dren of the laboring classes, and the poor
on an equal footing with those of the
wealthy, and alleged that to tax the
wealthy for the education of the children
of the poor was unjust, oppressive, and
unwise. AS might be expected, a resolu
ton was passed by the same convention
declaring it to be the true policy of Vir-
ginia to limit the exercise of the right oI
suffrage to those who should be landhold
ers of a specified valuol Who does moi
see in the above theory, which is by nc
means an unpopular one with the aris
tocracy of the South, the very elements
of despotism? That no system of free
schools is generally supported throughout
the South is sufficient explanation o
the great contrast between the general in
telligenco of tho masses, North and South
But TO come to the practical part Of th'
subject. While Michigan has a very be
nevolent school system, and many of th'
towns go even beyond its provisions, an(
voluntarily tax themselves ior the lree eo
ucation of all, yet there are certain othe
things wanting which are essentially nee
essary TO secure to our schools the high
est possible utility and success. And frs
among these l would mention the almos
universal neglect Of parents and citizens
generally to visit the schools-and ever
school officers, required by law to attenC
to this duty, are very frequently found re
miss in the discharge of this obligation
You need not go very far from Crane

STRANGE SIGHT-SEvENTY SwARMs
OF BEES AT WAR.-Ezra Dibble, n well
known citizen Of this town, and for many
years engaged extensively in the manage
ment of bees communicates to us the fol-
lowing interesting particulars Of battle
among his bees, about equally divided on
the east and west sides Of his house. One
Sunday afternoon, about three o'clock,
the weather being warm, and the windows
open, his house was suddenly filled with
bees, which forced the family to flee at
once to the neighbors. Mr.. d., after get
ting well protected against his assailants,
proceeded TO take n survey, and, if possi-
ble, learn the cause which had disturbed
them.
The seventy swarms appeared to be out,
and those of one side of the house were
arrayed in battle against those on the
other side; and such battle was per-
haps never before witnessed. They filled
the air. covering space of more than
one acre of ground, and fought desperate
ly for some three hours--not for "spoils,"
but for conquest; and while at war, no
living thing could exist in the vicinity,
They stung large flock of Shanghai
chickens, nearly all Of which died, aud
persons passing along the roadside wero
obliged TO make haste to avoid them.
A little after six o'clock quiet was re-
stored, and the living bees returned to
their hives leaving the slain almost liter
ally covering the ground, since which but
few appeared around the hives, and those
apparently stationed as sentinels to watch
the enemy. But two Young swarms wero
entirely destroyed, and aside from the ter
rible slaughter of bees, no other injury
was done. Neither party was victorious,
and they only ceased on the approach of
night, and from utter prostration. The
occasion of this strange warring among
the bees is not easily accounted for, and
those most conversapt with their manage
ment never before witnessed or heard Of
such q spectacle as here narrated.

BEER DRINKING.

A correspondent of the Quakertown
Educator colates the following unan-
swerablo arguments against this silly and
debasing habit. Boys, read il and think
Of IL:
"Dr. Franklin, when a journeyman
printer in London, informs us that he en-
deavored 10 convince his fellow workmen
that the bodily strength furnished by the
beer could only be in proportion 70 the
Solid part Of the barley dissolved in the
water of which the beer was composed;
and that there was large portion of
flour in penny loaf; and that conse-
quently, if they ate a loaf, and drank
pint of water with it, they would derive
more strength from it than from pint of
beer. In proof of the correctness Of his
position, DIR. franklin states as follows:
"On my entrance | worked at first MS
pressman, conceiying that | had need Of
bodily exercise, to which had been &C
customed in America. drank nothing
but water. The other workmen, to the
number Of fifty, were great drinkers Of
beer. carried, occasionally, large form
of letters in each hand up and down
stairs, while the rest employed both hands
TO carry one. They were surprised to sec
by this and many other examples that
tho American acquatic,' as they used to
call me, was stronger than those who
drank porter"
Sir Ashley Cooper in his Lectures no
tices the fact that malt liquors stupefy the
brain, render the blood too yiscid, and
render wounds extremely difficult to heal,
and accidents, which in water drinkers
would be attended with little or no dan
GER very certainly fatal"
Dr. Cheyne says:
81 am well satisfied that weak siom-
ach can rs readily and with less pain di-
gest pork and pea soup as Nottingham
ale."
Professor Mussey says
i" AT the age of twenty years while oc-
cupied during the hay season upon my
fathers farm, drank hop beer for about
three weeks but was induced to discontin-
ue it on account of particular organic
weakness, as well as dminution Of the
general strength, which | attribute to that
beverage. In about two weeks from tho
time of ceasing to drink beer my strength
was restored"
Dr. johnson, of London, says:
They are prolific source Of disease,
| am therefore opposed TO their use, and
declare that the beer biJJer has little rea-
sen to erM over Tie dram drinker."
DR.. McNish, Of Glasgow, says:
Malt liquors, under which title we in
clude all kinds Of porter, and ales, pro-
duce the most species of drunkenness, as,
in addition TO the intoxicating principle,
some noxious ingredients are usually add
ed, for the purpose Of preserving them
aud giving them better taste; after be-
ing swallowed, fixed air is copiously liber-
ated, and the digestion of delicate stom-
achs materially impaired. The effects Of
malt liquors on the body, if not so imme-
diately rapid as those of ardent spirits,
arc moro stupefying, more lasting, and
less easily removed. The most dreadful
effects on the whole are brought on by
spirits, but drunkenness from malt liquors
is most suddenly fatal"
