TIHpsoR, Feb. IS, 1869.
Mr. Eidtor. just above this quiet vii
hge, which repeacs on the bank Of the
Connecticut. rises the noble ana majes-
tic Ascutney, three thousand feet above
the river.
We have spent the most OF our life
within sight Of it's bald summit. We
used to gaze upon this mountain with the
deepest interest, and to watch It's varying
aspect, as we would the smile and frown
Of some stern pedagogue, upon whose viii
hung our fate This was our barometer
of the day we had appointed Tor our
childish sports.
When he put on his cap of clouds, the
rain was sure to fall within the next
twcntyfour hours. II his hoary head was
bare, the darkcned sky hode no evil, And
now, after fifty year., ,vc look upon old
Ascutney as upon tho face Of familiar
friend.
Here stands our State Prison, the home
of our senior criminals, and the terror
of evil doors As protection to society,
this prison serves its purpose, but its in
duence upon bad men to deter them from
the Commission of crime, seems not to be
very potent.
The prison is largely patronized New ar
rivals are frequent and amongIthern the no
torious swindler, rper-Clark, with his
youthful companion, has just arrived
from your thriving village, and you tell
US that you have more under training.
Crime has become a profession, and moth
ing but the certainty of the severest pen
alties can save us from its desolating pow
er. These prisoners are powerless of fur
ther mischief while their sentinels hold
them, but the reforming influence of dis
ciplinary labor and instruction is not as
great as could be desired. Reform of
youthful criminals is much more hopeful
since the establishment of our StBte Re-
form School, and their separation from
the older and more hardened offenders.
We find here every grade of criminals,
from the artful counterfeiter to the heart
less assassin, whose hands are stained with
human blood. Several of these murderers
have been executed within this prison yard.

time and labor, and no business man can
afford to do without it,and must eventual

copying, for a trial will surely establish

at the schoolbook question from the
proper point of view. Both of them hav,
much u say about s'the Board "the
competency of the Board, sustaining the
Baud" g. But the Board of Education
does not now stand in a more intimate re-
lation t. The question than do any other
half dozen citizens Of the State. They
may have been competent or incompetent,
to do the duty assigned them. As all Of
them were educated men, and half of them
eminent Teachers" there is a fair pre-
tumptou that they were competent. Blu
tho-e WHO. for pccuuiary reasons, or fo1
any diners, are dissatisfied with then
selto'iyn. hlnt that they were incompetent
Let il be Omitted, for the purpose of the
argument, that they were Incompetent. l.

rcml question which is now at issue.
Ofiu-t as little consequence is it wheth-
