COMMON SCHOOLS.

COMMON SCHOOLS.
The last General Assembly, act
uated by commendable desire to
promote learning, authorized the
several counties to establish and
support common schools.
And whether, as an original
proposition, that system meets our
appreciation, yet, inasmuch as il
has proven eminently successful
in the counties adopting it, il
would, perhaps, be unwise to dis
turb it until a fair experiment de-
monstrates what changes, if any
are necessary.
We cannot il we would, disguise
the lamentable fact, that there are
a large number of children in the
State deprived Of instruction in
the ordinary principles Of an Eng
lish education.
Intelligence is q large elemeo,
in the enterprise, prosperity and
happiness of every community,
and SO far as facilities can be af
forded, the education of the PEG
pie should be aided and advanced
And if Legislation can be devised
by which the present system
could be more generally and ef
fectually tested, great good NIGH
result therefrom, and future legis

gently directed toward the perfec
ton of this, or the adoption OF
some other system, by which The
educational necessities of the State
would be fully met.

The importance of improving

II is universally conceded and

We cannot now assess a general
tax upon the State, with the heavy
tax already unavoidable, TO i'm

the counties to levy a road tax,

MAINE CATTLE IN VERMONT. Cattle
are selling SO low this fall that Vermont
ers who have any thing to keep them on
are bringing cattle from Maine. The
Rutland Herald says that firm in Cam
bridge, LamoilIe County, recently ship
ped a car load of working oxen from
Boston market and sold them readily to
farmers in their vicinity at fair prices,
from S115 to s135 per pair. The cattle
were raised in Maine and we're in fair
condition. Another lot of oxen and
cows, purchased in Maine, are being dis
posed of in Eden at rates that defy any
competition from farmers in Lamoille
county. The idea of shipping cattle TO
Vermont would not ordinarily occur to
cattle dealers, but the short hay crop in
Maine has led the farmers of that State
to dispose of much of their stock at low
figures, and the operation is therefore
probably profitable one
