As your correspondent intimated in his last, the
high school matter did not reach its end, notwth-
standing its defeat at town meeting on the first in
slant. The friends of education beliete in educa-
ton, and so freely 60 down in their pockets and
support Free High School anyway. This is COM
mendablc for those who do the giving, and the
public Is the gamer, yet We deprecate the princ-
pie that schools of such class are barred from
public support by votes Of those who need it most.
The principle of the old minister, who said if the
blacksmith would not have religion any other way,
it must be btaten into him, might do for those
who won't have good schools. But we hope the
ball is moving, and we are but planting now that
others may enjoy hereafter.
We heard Ex-senator Schurz OF Mo-, at Rock
land on Monday the Sth inst uron his subject,

SO IN harmony with the work Of the leading edu-
Gators of our State that they should be made gen
eral. Shall we give few leading thoughts and
points of his lecture to the Journals

Band has nearly completed its 9Th year oflife. The
constancy of its members to their b-weekly meet

Its material the best in the place, and men who
are industrious and permanent citizens. II has

ter. 1t concluded TO give, few weeks since, a

scenes, oysters etc. etc. We speak in much praise
Of the whole entertainment, especially OF the dra-
matte scenes, and think those young gentlemen

themselves much credit, and that they merited the
applause given by the audience. The entertain

handsome sum for the band.

The new law relating TO postage on packages OF
merchandise, transient papers, &C., fixes the
rate at one cent per ounce fraction thereof,
thus doubling the rate heretofore demanded. The
amendment to the postal law was no doubt in
tended specially for packages OF merchandise only,
but from some oversight or error, all third class
matter was included, which works disas-
trousy to the transient newspaper trade. The mis-
take will undoubtedly be rectifed at the next ses-
sion of Congress; but according to the decision
of the Post Master General full rates must be
paid until otherwise provided by law.
