SCHOOL HOUSE AT LEwIsToN.-In our col
umns this morning will be seen an advertise
ment calling for proposals for the erection of a
brick school house at Lewiston. The building
is to be model one, from designs drawn by
G. NJ. Harding, Esq, Architect of this city. 1t
is to be of brick with iree-stone trimmings,
three stories in height, with double trout, and
belfry on the centre of the roof. The first
story is to be thirteen feet high, the second
thirteen feet, and the third fourteen feet; the
basement is nine feet. The dimensions of the
building on the ground are go x 90 feet. .e,.r
The building will contain ten school rooms,
each room calculated to accommodate with
ease, fifty pupils. There will be hall for ex-
animation of classes ON the third floor, 3Sx5S.
Brick walls are to extend from the basement
to the third floor, separating the school rooms.
In short, the building is to be fitted in every
part, so far as to make it credit to that city,
as well as model school house for the coun-

ELEcrRIclTY.-During the prevalence of a
snow squall this morning, at half past twelve
o'clock, the atmosphere was SO completely
charged with electricity that messages were
transmitted between Boston and Portland,
across the wires, without the aid of battery
Just before the appearance of the squat, the
Northern Lights were unusually brilliant
Sparks of electricity were freely emitted from
the instruments at the telegraph office in this
city, and we are informed by the operator, Mr..
Austin, that such a thing is of rare occurrence.
Mr.. A. also informs us thai it is only during
the appearance of the Northern Lights that
the lines are ever affected in this manner, and
but once before, some eight years since, does
he remember messages to have been transmit
ted without the aid OF battery. 1t was a
subject of much remark at the time, by the
sarans of the country, many theories being of.
iered in elucidation of the mystery.

accident insurance in this country, and has

Every man is liable to accident, no matter
what his occupation or pursuit, whether he
travels much or none at all ; whether he works
among tie whirl and clatter Of moving ma
cbinery, or in store, lawyers office, or editors
aanctum. The liability is, of course, not equal
IL all cases-yet statistics and newspaper files
give plenty of illustrations of careful, seden-
tary men, who are killed or seriously injured
by some one Of the common accidents of daily
life. while other men may drive railroad train
or run planning machine for score of years
without q scratch.
The subject does not require argument
There are few men who will not admit tina.
they mag meet with an accident any day, and

Cling, horses from running away, sidewalks
from being icy, cold from freezing, or lightning

precisely the same as in fire insurance Is il
not cheaper to let responsible company take

THE TURNvERErN ExH1B1r1oN.-This took

THE TURNvEREN EXHIBITIoN-Thi took
place at City Hall last evening, and drew
very full and fashionable house. We confess
to disappointment, but altogether in favor of
the young gentlemen who gave such an admit
rable entertainment. We did not suppose they
had practiced enough as mere amateurs to ex-
hibit such feats of muscular strength and ac-
tlylty. Professors who spend their whole lives
in the practice cannot excel them in many of
the performances exhibited last evening. Their
teats of muscular power and agility were truly
remarkable, and amply qualify them to appear
in any city before full houses, if they were dis
posed to try the experiment. We say with
emphasis. we have never witnessed better
exhibition Of the kind, and we have seen some
very famous performers who make it the BUSH
ness of their lives. We have not space to say
all we wish, but this exhibition will be long
remembered by the hundreds who witnessed
it. These young men have really shown that
our systems are wonderfully made, and the
power they developed in their exercises were
indeed remarkable. They must have practic-
ed much, or they could not have been SO per-
feet.
The two clowns added much to the enter
tainment, and we are almost inclined to be-
lieve they have travelled years with circus.
But we ask their pardon; for they really ex-
Gel such clowns. And the gentleman who ex-
hibited the twins will call and take our hat.
His selfcomplacency, and his tact and adroit-
l..
more perfect strut we have never seen on the
stage, and his burlesque was capital. The
giant brought down the house. -.ll .tali
The music was excellent, and the supper
was all the most fastidious coul d wish. The
evenings amusement was closed with dance,
in which many couples engaged. On the
whole, the Turnvereins have reason to be sat
isfed, and we know the hundreds who patron
lied them were highly gratifed.

Was it then unconstitutional to do by virtue OF
