The public schools of Paokertnn opened
with the beginning oi this week for nine
months term. The ioilpwing are the
teachers: Grammer, c. A. RItieri Primary,
Mss Stem; Jam mestown, Miss Ymndi. There
are few things that ought TO engage tue
attention of parents more than our public
schools Parents oughtto put their shoul:
ders to the wheel aud give teachers heir
hearty cooperation. II there is any thing
that parent ought to try to give To his
children, it is liberal and polite educat on.
Ignorance is an evil which all men ought
invariably try to shun. In a country like
ours where people all can enjoy civil and
religious liberty, they ought all to have a
liberal education, So that at no time tiey
may becume the tools of demagogues and
eharlatans. The present term has opened
under very fayorable circumstances and
promises to be a very successful one. The
board has adopted Lippncntls series o
readers, aud Whituey's Language Lessons.

A Thin Racket.

BARNsTABLE, MASS, May 1.-Freeman'
who few years ago, in fit of fanaticism'
killed his child, and has since been in lu'
matte asylum and is now pronounced sane,
was placed on trial to-day for the crime.
Freeman, in his own behalf said four years
ago he was insane, when the act was com
mitted, and believed be was doing good.
Two years afterward it occurred to him it
was an insane act. He never
evaded the law of the land
hut thought be should obey
God rather than man. He mad not, in his
own estimation, been insane for eleven
months at least. He fully believed his
irreligious experiences had done tor him all
they would. If granted a discharge he
would accept the first honorable position
offered him, that would enable him to sup
port his family. Freeman was then ar,
raj gned on an Indictment for murder, and
pleaded nor guilty Judge Colburn author
lied his removal from the asylum to Barns
table jail, to await further action.
