convicted and sentenced, and the follow. ing sheriffs return shows the nature of his punishment. After being duly 'bull dozed" at the carts tail by the sheriff. he was remanded to jail till he could procure sureties for future good behaviour and had paid the costs of his prosecution:
 LrrcHF1ELD, 21st Feb, 1776.
 Then by virtue of the within Execution 1 caused the within named John Thomas to be taken from the common Goal Tn Litchfeld to the place of Execution and there Set upon a GalloAs with Rope Round his neck for the full Term of one hour and Then tied to the Tail of Cart and Transported to four of the most pub lie places in the Town of Litchfield and there whipped on his naked body Thirty nine stripes in the whole, according to the within Directions.

 Mir ED1roR-Your notice of our schools published a short time since revealed some things that need correcting. And it seems to me that there are other de- fects in the management of our school matters that taxpayers might well look after. Our roads cost us, according to last years report, $6712, 45: and every one is grnmbling about them, while our schools cost $51O1. .3s, and only a few think it is in many eases waste of mon- ey. This allowance is just about seven dollars for each person in town, between four and'sixteen years of age, certainly very small sum for the yearly education of child. Who would be willing to take school of sixty scholars and teach them nine months for four hundred and twenty dollars; board. himself. provide fuel for the school. and pay the various incidental expenses, out of that sum? Is not the free school system working out it's own destruction in our country towns? or is it because parents are re- lying too much on the town fathers pro- viding for their children while they are doing nothing themselves.
