less than last year. Vermont, New Hanlp-
shire and Maine showing respectively a
decrease Of seven and eleven per cent,
while Connecticut and Massachusetts indi-
cate a slight increase In condition there
Is a slight falling off in Maine and Yer
mont. Wheat is remarkably fine in Con-
necticut, Massachusetts and New Hsmp-
shire, with material increase in the aver
age throughout New England. Only
Vermont and Maine show any diminution
in condition, Rye and oats require an al
most identical report, except thKt the III
crease is somewhat more marked in every
State except Vermont. A uniform i'm
provement in pastures is noted, amounting
to from sixteen to forty-two per cent, and
the hay crop is scarcely less abundant. POI
tatoes are more variable, but the average
will be better than last year.
NEW YORK.
The corn average is de6cientten per cent;
condition slightly deficient. Winter wheat
shows seventeen per cent. improvement in
condition; rye eight per cent. Oats, rye
aud barley, as well as wheat, were scarcely
up to the average in condition on the first

rious kinds generally little under average
in condition.

quently complain of paying a small
pittance for constructing sultahle
houses in which to have their children
instructed, as well as for the better
maintainance of their health. Now l
would by no means have farmers neglect
their stock, for this would lie cruel.
But think, at least, equal care should
be manifested in the educational inter
ests of their children. Let me say in
conclusion. (for / find my article Is
growing too tedious) that school officers
an d parents should visit the schools; it
will have a salutary effect both upon
teachers and pupils. 1t will be great
incentive to exertion, when they feel
that the rhole community is deeply in
terested in their behalf They should
take care to have the school properly
provided with suitable furniture, appa-
ratus, fuel and out-buildings. 1t is a
lamentable truth that many of our
schools are not provided with out-build-
ings in which the children may be
screened from the gaze of others while
answering the most secret calls of
nature. After all of our care to have
our children inculcate the principles OF
virtue and modesty at home, must this
teaching be counteracted, by our own
neglect, at the school. May we not
hope for a better state of things
in the futurei Now that our minds
are freed from the embarrassments of
war, let us all, officers, teachers, par
ents and friends unite in the support
and perfection of our system of COM
mon schools, the object of which is to
instill into the minds and hearts of
the rising generation the principles Of
virtue patriotism and intelligence,
which alone are the pillars of true
government. TRIADELPHIA.
