nobIest men this country has yet pro-

He was brilliant orator, dashing and
bold, captivating and taking by storm
the hearts and senses of his auditors.
He was an abolitionist in the days
when to be one brought with it perse-
cution and insult, yet he lived to see
the full and complete triumph of his
principles throughout the land. Few

In many cases, poor schools are the re-
suit OF hiring poor teachers, but it Is often
er the case that they must be attributed to
want of interest in the school, on the part
OF parents. This is one Of the great obstacles
against which the teacher has to contend.
1t must be overcome. The people must be
made to see that unless they do their duty
in this matter, they are recreant citizens,
recreant neighbors, recreant christians.
We may expend hundreds of dollars in ed
ucating teachers, and advancing in other
ways the educational interests of Vermont;
but unless parents can be awakened to
sense of their duty, our efforts, to a great
extent, will be fruitless. The parents must
be made to see that if this perfect little Pc
ter is corrected at school, he must not be
kept at home and consoled with sugar
plums. The parent, who does this, is Civ
/ ing his children excellent training to fit
/ him to enter such an institution as that of
/ the State, at Windsor The young law
/ breaker readily develops into the old one.
/ The transition is perfectly natural Again,
parents should not only send their children
to school and keep them there during
school hours, but they should take enough
interest in the school to visit it, at least,
once gear. To be sure, they don't get
much time for such things =, but they do get
| time to visit their young cattle pasturing
six or eight miles away, as often as once a
| fortnight or three weeks Perhaps it is
not so important to see that the young
mind is being properly fed, as it is to see
that the young stock have their proper al
lowance of salt Many say, off we visit
the school, we can't do or say anything.
If you cannot, it has good influence up
on your scholars to have you hear them
recite, even if they make perfect failure
in their recitation.
Are not these things worth careful tho't?
Let us hope for better things in the
schools of the Green Mountain State and
let us all, teachers and parents, labor to
hasten the time when our citizens will
unite in affirming that it is better to pre-
vent crime by educating our children, than
to allow ignorance to breed it and then
punish it and, therefore, the bird that
can and won't sing, shall be made to sing

Orleans County Court.

The Orleans County Court com
menced its February session at Iras.
burgh, last Tuesday. Hon. Benz. H.
Steele, presiding judge, Hons. James
Simonds and Lyman P. Tenney, assis-
tant judges. The first cause tried by
jury was
C. D. Reynolds V. s. ". Junkins.
This was all action of assumpSit for
$500, part price of steam engine
purchased Of the plaintiff by the de-
PENDANT. Plea the general issue and
a plea of set off in the nature of re-
Government of damages. Tie defend
ant claimed and his evidence tended
to prove that the plaintiff warranted
the engine to be a sound and service
able one, and that it would stand well
in all its parts, when in fact it was
much damaged, rusty and out OF re,
pair, and not worth more than half
price. The defendant further claimed
that the engine was not the property
Of the plaintiff, but belonged to a Pc
troleum Oil Company, Of which the
plaintiff was a member. The plain
tiff claimed that the engine was in
good repair, aud that he owned the
engine, having purchased it at a tax
sale in Boutwell,, Canada, where the
engine was used in the oil business
A cloud of engineers was produced
to testify as to the value of the en-.
CINE, and the case occupied one and
one half days in the trial. The deft
was to pay $1,000 for the engine, and
had paid $500 of this amount. The
court instructed the jury that they
should find that there was $500 and
interest on the same due the plaintiff
on the contract price, and instructed
the jury to render a special verdict as
to how much less the engine was worth
in its true condition, than it would
have been if as represented by the
plaintiff. The jury returned a verdict
that the engine was worth S667,S
less than represented by the plaintiff,
aud that there was due the plaintiff on
the contract price 1915, and on tran
separation of engine there is due the
defendant 81 40. The result Of the
case was that the defendant recovered
balance of s13425.

The plaintiff claimed that the defend

Parents and Our Common Schools

The Secretary of the Vermont Board of
Education reports 500,4 27 cases Of tardi-
ness for the school year Of 1868 and 1869,
besides l2S districts which did not ill out
their registers. Only haLf million t@dy
marks for the little State of Vermont
Reckoning five minutes for each hardness,
which is probably a very moderate allow
ance, and we have $3.50 school days, or
105 terms of sc days each. This, of course,
is total loss 10 the state. These figures
do not tell the whole story. Many schol-
ars who are habitually tardy, generally
| come into school when the class is in the
midst of recitation. Teachers well know
that this class Of scholars are generally the
last ones to make any effort to pass quietly
to their seats. No. They must shor of
So they walk across the school room as i
their boots were filled with bricks instead
of the feet of human beings. Of course
the recitation is disturbed, and the quie
of the school, fit happens to have any
broken lOr several minutes.
In five cases out of ten, when these tard
scholars come into the class, they are poor
! ly prepared for the recitation. "Havn'
had time to get the lesson, or "couldn'
see IL, ;; is the excuse. Poor lessons unf
them to go ahead with those who do &c
time to study; but the teacher has alread
the small number of % or 30 classes. an
must manage to keep them in the elasi
So those who might go along with the
studies are held back, and with the teacl
; er's aid, made to drag along those VIII
ought to be left behind. Thus our schoo

, Who is to blame for all this? Commo
sense answers, 'The parents, or guardian
of these children" 1t is the duty of tho
who have charge of pupils to send them
school, and to see that they are there
season. When they neglect to do TIL
= they do that which is injurious to the cor
y munity at large, thus violating one of Il
very foundation principles of society.

\ BRAVE WOlTAN-SUFFERINGs AT
SEA.-The Portland Argus gives some
facts relative to the suffering that at
tended the disaster to the schooner
Emily Hillard, Capt. Trimbuls:
I'm passage from Bangor to New
York this vessel was blown off, and
after long and desperate contest
with storm and billow, succeeded in
getting into Nassau. The captains
vile was on board, and proved her
self a heroine. She took her turn at
the pumps regularly, and once, when
the WORKOUT seamen declared they
would pump no longer, she took an
axe and threatened instant death to
the first man who left his station
She carried her point, and the vessel
and lives were thereby saved. The
provisions ran short and were finally
exhausted, and they were six dayi
without morsel of food. They haC
/ decided to draw lots to see which one
should die by his own hand for tn,
others to eat, when a favorable wine
came, and the vessel the next da,
reached Nassau. They were in a ter
rible condition from their long suffer
ing and were reduced almost to skel
etons."
