Mr.. EDrToR:-A great deal of fault has been
generally, about the great increase in rates of
insurance in this city-whether justly or not
we do not pretend to discuss. But we do
know, ST the city authorities continue to adopt
such courses as to allow the erection of wooden
buildings and frame ranges, as has been indi-
Gated by their late action, that the first class
and most reliable insurance companies repre-
scented in this city will be compelled to largely
increase their rates or withdraw their agencies
from the city entirely.
The city of Portland owes debt to the for
eign insurance companies who promptly ad :
justed their losses, which will take many years
to repay, and instead of inviting another con-
Migration by allowing the erection of hun
dreds of wooden buildings in the heart of the
city, would it not be better to allow none but
brick and stone buildings to be built even
though we had to wait two or three years for
them? Introduce water into the city. Erect
buildings with twelve and eighteen inch walls
instead of eight; carry the walls above the
roof two feet; slate the roofs and leave off the
great, cumbersome wooden cornices which are
SIMPLY an invitation to the flames, and insur-
ence rates will be much reduced and the CITY
will be in no danger of another general con-
Migration.
AS it is, there has not been wall built ca
pable of resisting the advance of hot fire.
French roofs, wooden cornices and dormer
windows seem to be the rage. They may look
prettily, but some day or other they will be
fhn ,frI, ,.nl, A.
the buildings will be accomplished.
We trust our City Fathers will see the in
jury to which such legislation will lead and
promptly reconsider it, and oblge

PAPER CREDrrs.-The Bangor Wing con-
tains a learned opinion of Judge Barrows of
the Supreme Court in which the doctrine is
laid down that towns had no authority by any
statute of this State to purchase a credit in re-
duction of their quota, although they could
purchase the service of volunteers. The case
also decides, that vote of the town to procure
men or volunteerS on the quota of the town,
would not authorize the officers of the town to
purchase the right to have the names of men
credited to them already in the army and who
were already credited upon the general quota of
the State.
The case was that of Barker ct al vs. Inhab-
tants Of Dixmont for furnishing "ten naval or
marine recruits or credits" The opinion con
cludes as follows:
There are two fatal defects in the plaintiffs
case-want of proof of an agreement on the
part of the town to pay for "credits" instead of
men-and, want of power in the town to make
a valid contract for the purchase of such cred
its even had they been SO disposed. PLAINTIFFS

The New rs.s Office.

The Post Office Is now removed to its new
quarters in the building erected on Federal,
Exchange and Market streets, where it will be
continued until the spacious edifice to be erect
ed on the site of the old ofice-intended for
the use of the Post Office and the United States
Courts-is completed, which it will, probably,
be in four years. Already has the demolition
of the old building been commenced.
The temporary building erected for the Post
Office is of wood, and measures 55 feet on Fed
eral street by about 100 feet on Exchange and
Market streets. The plan for it was designed
by Judge Davis, the Postmaster, and it is one
of the most convenient offices in New England.
The key boxes are in the first apartment on
Exchange street, entrance either on Federal
or Exchange streets. In this apartment, also,
is the general delivery. Adjoining this, on
Exchange street, is another apartment CON
tanning the glass boxes, and window for the
delivery Of their contents, and also the win
dow for the delivery of ladies' letters; beyond
this is the Cashiers room, the window for the
transaction of business being in this apart
ment. In the rear of this, and on the upper
corner of Exchange street, is the private room
$4,000
Entrance to it is reached by passage way
leading from the ladies' room along side OF the
Cashiers office.
Mails are received and delivered on Market
street, thus not interfering with any other OF
the entrances.
The business part of the Office for the distri-
button of the mails is arranged i'll the most
convenient manner, and so as not to Interfere
with the delivery portion of the office. The
porters room is in the upper corner on Market
street.
The arrangements for heating are the same
that were in the old office. All the needed
ccnveniences of wash room, water closet, sc.
are provided.
The cost of the building was $4,000. 1t was
erected by Mr.. III. d. Sprague in the short
space of five weeks. We think our citizens
will have no occasion to complain OF any lack
| of accommodations, either as to the arrange
ments of the Office or thu efficiency of the
|. working department.

A NEW CENSUS OF THE UNITED STATES
Washington dispatch says census of the
country has been taken through the agency OF

was accomplished during six weeks of last No
vember and December. The details will not be
furnished to the public until they have under
gone careful revision and arrangement. The
returns from few of the remote mountain dis
tricts of the country are the Only ones no
deemed satisfactory. The census shows the
population at the time stated to have been "a,
100 ,255 and of the Stases and Territories taken
together 81 y5O5S82 In most of the Southern
States there has been decrease of population,
in the Eastern States a small increase, and in
the Western States large increase. The re-
salts are supported in every instance by the
State census of 1865, so far. Compared with
the census of 1860 there has been an increase of
1902, 561, which, in view of the late extended
conflict, demonstrates the extraordinary recu-

rh. scasai Exciienseat ia springfield,
yxnSs,

The Springfield Republican publishes an
official statement of the result of the School
Committees investigation into the flogging
casa which has created so much excitement
there and was mentioned in our dispatches a
few DAYS since. The Committee had before
them Miss Hatch, the teacher, Mr.. Tracy,
principal of the school, two boys who witness
ed the punishment, and DR.. Mclean. Miss
Hatch's physician. Notice was given to the
parents of the boy. Willie Scott, but they fail
ed to appear. The committee report
That the teacher, Miss Hatch honestly be-
lieving that the boy deserved punishment at her
bands Tor telling what she regarded as iaise-
hoods, and that it was her duty on TINS ac
count, as Well as for the purpose OF correct
ing the habit OF classifying when ne hau to,i
tracted, did inhct IA severe corporeal PUNISH
ment upon the pupil; that the boy made
strong resistance, and came SO nciir oNclcoh-
ing her that she sent for Mr. tracy. VINO came
to her rescue and took the boy INTO ms hands,
and succeeded by infiicting % lew blows, in
snbduing him; that the boy, in resisting the
TEACHER. struck her a heavy blow, which, ac-
corJing to the testimony of her physician, was
the occasion of a serious injury to her health,
from which she is still suffering; and the teach
err also states that when he inflicted this heavy
blow, she then, in self-defence, gave him sew
eral blows in order to make him desst from
further resistance. From tne evidence of
those who have examined the person of the
boy, it appears that he had marks that indi-
Gated considerable severity in the punishment
but not that showed any serious or lasting in
jury; and, besides, it is understood that he
has been about as usual, without any apparent
signs ofinjury.
The committee have come to the conclusion
in view of all the circumstances of the case,
that while they believe there was an error of
Judgment on the part of the teacher in infict-
ing the punishment in question, yet also be-
heving that she acted from a strong conviction
OF duty, and with an earnest desire to do good
to the boy and the school, they would express
their disapproval of the act without passing
Judgment of unqualified censure upon the
teacher.
This seems to be rather small matter to
make SO much fuss over. The Republican
says, "The hot-headed men who are getting up
an indignation meeting are in danger of max
ing themselves ridiculous" A warrant for
the arrest of Miss Hatch for an assault upon
the boy had been taken out but had not been
served.
