conclusion on Saturday evening. Nc
Farland & jerks Of Concord sued
Charles r. Morrison Of Manchester, n. H..
to recover extra pay COR printing for him
a digest of the New Hampshire Law Re-
ports. They agreed to print in a GER
tain type for specified price per page,
and prescribed that the manuscript
should not be in Mr.. Morrison's hand
writing, which the publishers knew 10 be
indistinct and bad. The size of the
type was changei by Mr.. Morsison, and
large share of the manuscript was in
his writing. The suit was brought to re-
cover additional pay for the increase in
labor by reason the change in type,
and for deciphering the bad manuscript
and for making the authors alterations
from the original manuscript, which
were made in the proof sheets. The tri-
al occupied all the week, and the jury
last evening returned verdict for the
plaintiffs in the sum Of FIVE hundred and
three dollars. Mason w. Tappan, Asa

from the choicest and the most interest

that a small paper at this extremely low

Compelling Attendance atSchool.

1t will have been noticed that DR..
Scott, the Industrious and intelligent
Representative from Plymouth, has in
troduced bill to compel the attendance
of chiidren upon school. At first thought
this bill looks radical, and in former
years many very earnest and intelligent
friends of education have opposed SINH
lar measures, on the ground that it was
taking the control of the child from the
parent, and was, in one sense, system
of slavery. We believe that with expe-
rience public opinion is changing in this
regard. Our school reports show that
thousands of the children of the State
are growing up in ignorance who are
really truants We submit whether the
State as an organized community, is dis
charging its duty in thus allowing so
large a portion Of its children TO grow
up in ignorance, to be the future inmates
OF our jails, prisons, and Reform School,
to scatter the seeds of vice far and wide,
TO become curse to themselves, and the
most dangerous and troublesome ele-
ment in society? Is it not the duty Of the
State to compel the parents Of these
children to give them the advantages OF
some school system, whereby they may
be rendered fit to assume She duties OF
citizenship? Has not the State the righ,
to protect itself against evils which
threaten its safety, its peace and even its
existence? This question should be prac.
tically answered by the enactment OF
such a law as will compel each child in
the State of the proper age, under ord
nary circumstances, to attend school :
given number of months in each veal
for reasonable number of years. Oui
people cannot but be aware of the fac
that there is an element in this countr,
which is seeking to overthrow our com
mon school system. Each year it is be
coming holder and its hostility more pro
nounced. Those who are engaged il
this assault upon the bulwarks of tn,
republic are not true friends of our fire.,

The Legislative Excursion.
A FABLE.

A large party of legislators, after ex
ploring the HIS, Fields, Dale, Parks,
Marsh and Fem in and about the Capt.
tai, conceived the plan of making an ex-
cursion down the river to the North.-
Three of the party were White, three
Bro,en, one Gray and one was Green.
They were accompanied by Il Marshall,
u Cham5erlin, an abbott, BeG-man,
Gardner, Mason, and three Cooks. They
supplied themselves with Parteh- ed
Wheat and Bacon Two Of the excur-
siorists were armed-one with Lance,
the other carried a Spear. Only two Of
the number were Benedict8. The party
embarked in Skif, at the sound of A.
Bell, and proceeded to MapleSden, Dreao
up their little craft on a Dixie, formed By
u little Eddy, near Wood, at the break
of Day After shifting the De,oey fra
GRANGE for while, they were Eager to
enjoy the morning meal, and went to a
Shedd to prepare it. Some expressed "a
desire for animal food, whereupon one Of
the party who was considerable Of
Bragg, volunteered for the Chase. At
ter a long HUT, he encountered Bull,
and attempting to take him by the horns,
/ found that he was Hooker, and withal
had tough Hyde. This animal did
Pierce his clothing, and he was shaken
1 like a Reed He then wished himself
upon his native Heath, and fed to Camp,
where a Jenkins stood ready to record
his achievements. The abbott, who was
distinguished by his Crosier and his
tSnopC.y Baird (beard), read him two
Pages full Of rebuke, while some Of his
associates said they had Hurd that he
was fellow of little Soule, and that
was the Hull truth about him. With a
! Grout look, he replied that he was " a
good enough Morgan" for the Legisla-
ture. This WIS considered a BriteH as
sumption. Not wishing to hear WHAT
e)more of the dispute, the whole party
left the Fairbanks Of Esta brooks, at the
sound of the Camp bell, after having err
ected memorial of their visit Of Cobb
le-StOne. On their way up the river,
they came near finding wa cry Graces,
by the attempt Of one Of the party to
catch Drake on the Lee side, which
movement nearly eapsized the boat
The citizens Of the Capital proposed Civ
ing them a reception on their return at
the Hall, but the excursionists Dodged
the intended honor, and proceeding
through by Lane, displayed their Pow
ers Of retreat too good advantage. This
was considereda Good-seH on the citizens.

FASTEST TINE on RECoRD.-The
track between Rolla and York Station
was severely tested on Tuesday last. a
heavy car OF lumber got away with two
men in charge, on the down grade of
eighty feet to the mile. With each sue
ceeding mile the speed OF the flying car
became more terrific, and us it passed
the tank FIVE miles west, the velocity was
doubtless more than one hundred miles
an no r. One of the men did not notice
the long bridge, and merely took the
awful chasm which it spans for small
ditch.
Even passenger trains pass this bridge
with the greatest caution, but the style
in which this car made the successful
"leap for life" was caution" ina wide
ly different sense Fortunately an up
grade arrested the killing pace some six
or eight miles west of Rolla. an / the car
was switched off at Works Just in time
to prevent crash with the freight train
east, which being behind time, had not
passed that point. 1t seems providen-
tial that SO many dangers could have
been missed. A gentleman walking on
thetrack towardstown barely had time to
step off at the first sound of It's thunder
ing progress, which was more like can
non shot than wheeling vehicle
