sons KIND. n
At Lake Quipsigamond, Mass, Fri
day, us the steamer Isaac Davis came to-
the wharf, thousand people on .tril
near the landing all struggled TO get on
the steamer before she had run out a
plank. There were 200 passengers on
the boat, 100 on the hurricane deck,
with no opportunity TO get of. The
others rushed on the hurricane deck,
and as they did so the Davis careened
over away from the wharf, caused the
crowd to rush TO that side and threw
the struggling mass into the water. AS
the boat gave way the roof of the up
per deck came crashing down on the
engine and broke off the safety valve,
causing the steam TO rush out, the fear
full noise adding new terror. The
boat rolled over once more, and catch
ing her gunwale on spile became fast
The great weight caused the supports
of the hurricane deck TO give way. The
whole structure, down to the water
line, crashed into the water, at this
point over ten feet deep. Many swan
TO the shore or wharf 20 feet distant
Others held on to the wrecked hull and
some TO the floating roof. The bodies
were soon recovered. Seven persons
were drowned and number Injured.
The boat was newly launched on May
day, about 80 tons burden, and quite
Hat on the bottom, drawing less than
three feet when loaded. She had ca
pacity OF 400 passengers. The accident
was due 10 the unreasoning reckless
ness of the great crowd in rushing
where there was no room for them.

1Eyer since the Smith hamplin
affair Addison has become the banner
county in the state for filth. The term
OF court which has just adjourned was
almost entirely devoted 10 adultery aud
divorce cases and trials for rape
lBrattleboro Reformer.
1t Is saddening that the captious Re-
former has eyes only for the dirty side.
Also that its eyes have such magnify
ing power as to convert the three di-
vorce cases, the dismissed adultery case
and the doubtful rape case of our late
term Of court into all item of the above
portentous proportions. Addison county
may be bad enough, but it is hardly
fair to call it the "banner county of the
state for filth" SO long as Windham
county possesses filth manufacturer
like the Reformer. Finally, if there is
a county in the state which can make q
better showing for good morals than
Addison county, 1t would not now be
out of order to point it out and prove it.

For the Register;
The Educational Laws of Vermont.

1t is many years since that 10y wise
provision Vermont passed Il law requir-
ing, among other branches of learning,
that good behavior should be taught in
our district schools. No systematic at
tention has been paid TO this law, and
ii has been repeated of late years.
There is an admitted necessity of its
execution, the manners of our school
children evidently needing amcliora-
ton. Vermont should have some pride
in taking the lead in this matter, espe-
cially rs her own laws demand il.
The occasion is in every way n suit
able one for adopting some system of
instruction on the subject. 1t has been
proposed to commence the system by
the addition of a small reader OH good
behavior to our other readers, so that
the child, while learning to read, shall
also be insensibly imbibing ideas upon
general outlines of good manners as
observed in society at large.
There is so much that is faulty in the
manners of our school children, that it
is difficult to know where to begin. 1t
is thought best, however, TO make the
best selection of precepts possible for
a reader, and leave the subject entirely
TO the chllds own reflections, TO be gov
erned by them according TO its own
good Judgment.
This idea has been embodied in Il
small reader called Good Behavior, .
of which two editions have been issued
by Messrs. Cheney IL Clapp, of Brattle.
boro.
These facts are mentioned in order tc
call the attention of the educators OF
the state to the subject. 1t is not Il
matter to be left to chance. or TO the
interests of bookmakers, or bookshelf
ers; but it is matter demanded both
by law and by necessity. There is as
much need of standard reader on good
behavior rs there is of treatise on ar
ithmetic, geography or grammar.
The object of this article is TO call the
attention of the educators of the state &c
the subject. DISTRICT SCHOOLS.

Eg' The issue, as the extra session
left tits this: Does the American voter,
in casting his ballot, desire that free
dom which all criminals desire, in order
that he may commit any crime against
the right of suffrage; or does he desire
a ballot made honest by the same species
of legal restraints which are found nee
essary for the defence of every other
right! The Democratic cry for "free
ballot" is as sensible as would be de-
mand for free stealing, free robbery,
free murder. An honest ballot is what
is wanted, and that is what the Repub-
licans are determined to have. A free
ballot in the Democratic sense means
simply anarchy and ruin, for this nation
will not consent 10 be ruled by fraud at
the polls.
