Will be found to excel all others. The ease with which it runs, its ready adaptation to all kinds of work without delay or hesitation, its quiet fidelity, its Superior Strength and Durability of Work, are points that astonish and delight all who make its acquaintance. Ladies who are unfa miliar with this Machine, do not yet know the full blessing and comfort of a Sewing Ma chine in the family, though they may pu-sess many others and think they are satisfied. In proof of this assertion is the significant fact, That its strongest advocates and most enthusiastic admirers are always found among those who have used anil arc most familiar with other leading machines. From the thousands of testimonials from all parts of the country, wc select the following from the city of Augusta: AUGUSTA, March, 1870. Having used the Willcox A Gibbs Sewing Machine in our respective families upon all the various kinds of work required, some of us from one to six years, others for a shorter time, some of us also being familiar with the use of other leading machines, we cheerfully recommend it as a most excellent family machine. It runs easily and quietly, is simple and easy in its management, does not get out of order, is always ready, its work is strong and durable, and in all respects gives most entire satisfaction.

Mr. Speaker In the early part of this session, when I presented an order direct ing the Committte on Kducation to inquire into the expediency of changing the present school laws its the bill now under consideration proposes, I was controlled by motives of the purest desire to conserve the educational interests of the State. I atn quite certain that no call to promote the ma terial interests of my constituency and of the people of Maine finds more ready re sponse in my heart than the education of the masses of our people, and while 1 claim this purity of purpose for myself, I accord to those v\ ho honestly differ with me on this measure the same earnest de sire for the public good. With this com mon desire for the best common school system animating eaeh legislator on this door, let us approach the discussion of this question with that considerate judgment and culm purpose which the magnitude of the subject demands. Let ns not hastily jump at conclusions and seek for argu ments to sustain them, but rather let us survey the whole field of reasons for and aijaiu.it this measure and then base our conclusions on the argument. In nearly all eases of legislation some valid objec tions may be urged and well sustained against our best and most essential law s. Hut because objections do exist arc we to turn ii in* Min nimr jhimmii i r?t»uii* which demand the law? While I am compelled hy my own experience ami observations in educational interests, to believe the prosperity of our common schools will he largely promoted by the passage of this hill and the prompt en forcement of the law, I have no desire to urge upon this House the idea that there arc no objections of force. But, sir, alter giving this subject as careful an examina tion as my limited power of comprehen sion will allow, 1 am of opinion that the passage of no other law by this Legisla ture will produce grander results for the general good than this measure will if it receives your sanction. 1 have no means of knowing the sentiment of the people on this question, but lam well convinced that our public educators and those most inter ested in schools, arc of one nfind and one heart in support of this measure. During the late exciting contest before the Edu cational committee on the subject of “State uniformity of text hooks," a large number of public instructors from various parts of the State were before us and spoke for the interests of education, and although the gull was deep and wide which separated parties on the proposition for uniformly, yet a singular unanimity was manifest in regard to this measure, and with one voice, so far as that voice was heard, they said, give the superintending school com mittee the power to employ teachers and one essential mark of progress will have been recorded in the statute books of Maine. Remonstrant*, too, who were not. before the committee, have written to this capital urging the adoption of the same measure. Whatever else might arise to divide the friends of the sacred cause of education, in this they agreed, and for this they could heartily join hands in their educational labors, and sir, 1 have yet to learn of the first man devotedto educational pursuits, whose sympathies are not with us on this measure, though doubtless there are many, yet few, I believe, when com pared with the grand army of educators whose influence is felt to-day in their noble work. In the last annual report of the State Superintendent of Common Schools, 1 find the following among other questions pro pounded by him to the several town com mittees, to be answered in their annual re turns: “Can you suggest any amendments to the School Laws of the State?" Answers were gwen and suggestions made by one hundred and thirty-nine committees, and more than one half of these specifically rec ommended the very change this measure proposes. 1 observe again that no other single recommendation was made by near ly as many superintending school commit tees, thus showing that this change is, in their judgment, the essential one that looks to a reform in our school laws. I have said that 1 have no means of knowing the sentiment of the people on this measure, and yet, the unanimity with which public educators and school officers have aft proved and recommended this change may safely be regarded as an index, in some measure, of the public sentiment. Now, sir, is it true, oris it not true, that the superintending school committees of our towns are better qualified than the agents to care for the sehool interests of the people? I invoke the calm judgment of tins House and of the people. I ask them to put off tlie masque of prejudice and of superstition, and tell me if our sehool agents are selected among the peo ple for their scholarly attainments, their love for the cause of education, their fa miliarity with the modes of teaching, and their knowledge of the real qualifications of instructors. Are they selected for their general knowledge of schools and school interests? 1 fancy I hear it said that they are as well qualified as the committee are, but, sir, that answer comes from him who lias spoken in his haste, and not upon the “sober second thought." Doubtless the history may show cases enough where school agents have evinced superior abili ties and qualifications to many school com mittees, but we are to take into our ac count the great whole and not look for the few the general rule and not the excep tions. You can find exceptions enough to every general rule, however wise that rule may lie. The trilling office of school ageut, as it is generally regarded, yet re sponsible in fact, is too often bestowed up on that man who can, by ills shrew cue** and business tuet, hire a teacher cheap. He may be a practical business man, and in his business may be successful, but 1 af firm that ho who would succeed in any busi ness must be informed in that business, and have a love for it. The superintending school committees are selected for their'literary qualifications andtheirknowlcdge of teachers, of schools, of books and all the essential requisites ibi educational work, and yet there are ex

captions, and inrompet-nt men are some times spiri ted. X >w. sir, what Is the sim ple proposition eontaittpd in this Bill It Is But, as some have urged, to divest the people of anv power. I will yield to no member on this lloov in his high regard tor the people's power; but it is a simple transfer of authority front one- officer to others, all alike eligible to office by the suffrages of the people. The voice of the interested hundreds and thousands of the sons of Maine, is s ill to speak through this channel as well as by the power you now profess to love so well. If district agents arc. t*,s well qualified for their work, and hence act as intelligently, as the superin tending school committee, why do vottr laws divest him of the power of examina tion of the teacher? XV by not place at his command the whole machinery by which he can employ and examine teachers ami run the Institution At present your laws only empower him Pi hire the teacher, so far as the teacher is authorised or required to act. After the simple act making the bargain and giving til" required notice is done., the work of the agent ceases, ex cept hi« financial business in behalf of the district. The teacher is then turned over to the committee for authority to go to work, and the agent has no power over him. He U subject to the committee and to them alone. This bill does not propose to take front the agent or district any power now vested in them to determine the time of commencing school, or to provide for their financial matters. If districts desire to prolong their school by boarding the teach er around, as is sometimes done in our ru ral districts, lmt which, I believe, is fast lasing abandoned, that desire may be indi cated to the committee, as well as to the agent under the present system, and teach ers may be employed accordingly. No inconvenience or obstacles, therefore, arise here. Xow, sir, i desire to call the attention of the House to the consideration of teachers. 1 have, myself, served on superintending school committees, and, therefore, am prepared to speak from personal knowl edge as the result of my own experience and observation. Under our own present system of employing and examining teachers, very strong inducements are presented to override and resist conscien tious scruples. This argument has already, in some degree, been presented on this floor, but only those who have served, as I and many others have, on committees, can be prepared to appreciate the force ol those circumstances, which under our present system, have a strong tendency to improperly influence such committees. 1 believe I am safe in assuming that Jive sixths of the failures among common school teachers is the result of incapacity to govern, or a lack of tact for teaching, independently of their literary tpmlifica tions. As the law now' is, superintending school committees are prevented by the force of circumstances from doing as they I desire in granting certificates to teachers, and the design of the law is obstructed. What are those circumstances which thus block the way and defeat the purpose of the law Aii applicant for your school, who has made all proper arrangements with the district agent to teach in town, presents himself before the committee for examination and certificate. The exami nation is passed the teacher is found amply qualified in the various branches required to be taught in such district: he answers every question correctly, and the committee cannot refuse to grant the cer tificate of qualification on the ground of literary incompetency. And yet, sir, during that examination, the committee i have observed an awkwardness, a want of activity and promptness, an inability toj express clearly and concisely his own i ideas, which clearly convince them of his j inability to make teaching a successful and profitable vocation. 11 hat arc the evident duties of the committee under i these circumstances? You will refer me i to the law. “On satisfactory evidence that a candidate possesses a good moral 1 character, and a temper and disposition i suitable to be an instructor of youth, they shall examine him in reading, 'peliiug. writing, English grammar, geography, history, arithmetic, and other branches usually taught in public schools, anti par- j tkularly in the school lor which he is ex- -vmo. rfi and also as t.> capacity tor the govs-rame jii thereof."

Itoiljj $umul)tc Journal AUGUSTA, Monday Morning. March 7, 1870. THE E.\D AT HASH. With gold at twelve per cent premium only, and paper dollars steadily traveling upward in value, while coin begins to make its appearance in business transac tions, and government bonds are at par in the market, there is no doubt that the re sumption of specie payments all over out land is close at hand. For nearly eight years we have have been suffering the evil effects of a depreciated currency, at one time our credit getting so low that a green back dollar was worth but thirty-eight cents in coin, but at last we are beginning to feel the solid ground beneath our feet. With an Administration at Washington in which th_ people of this and other nations have confidence.pledged to economy, pay ment of the national debt, and return to the specie basis at the earliest day practi cable, we commenced a year ago the im provement in our finances which has brought them to their present gratifying condition. Good crops of cotton and wheat and the general prosperity of the country have afforded the means by which we have succeeded in accomplishing so much, but with an Administration like that before the present we should yet iu spite of good crops and abundant production be stumbling along with gold at a high premium and bonds at a ruinous discount. In the election of General Grant to the Presidency the people of the United States pronounced in the most emphatic manner possible their determination to pay the national debt and make greenbacks as good as gold. This was the principal is sue of the campaign. The democrats stood on the platform of repudiation. When Seymour went to the wall and Grant was elected it was a notice to the national creditors that their demands would be paid to the last cent. In the spirit of that de cision at the ballot-box the Administration has been conducted, and now we have the fruit at the end of a year in the reduction of the national debt nearly ninety millions dollars, gold at only twelve per cent, pre mium, bonds at par. But this statement of the progress which we have made financially is incomplete unless we take iuto consideration the ad vantages which we gain thereby in efforts to fund the debt and being enabled to re duce taxation. Taxation is sure to be re duced at this session of Congress, and so we believe is the debt sure to be funded i upon favorable terms, but neither could be done to advantage if at all, while our credit was twenty-five or thirty per cent. below par and the national debt on the in crease. One good step in advance makes the next less difficult. We shall have the best of right to claim the most favorable terms for our funded securities when we g» t ready to offer them in the market of the world. Standing Jupon a specie basis or near to it, there are adjustments to be made in currency prices to conform to existing con ditions, but in relation to gold, the real standard of value, there will be no reduc tion. The rise of paper money to the gold standard appears to occasion a shrinkage of values, but this effect is produced in appearance only, the actual value remain ing unchanged. When a dollar in currency will buy as much of anything as a gold dollar, currency prices must be less than they are when paper is at a discount, but the change is occasioned by the rise of the paper money and not by the fall of the commodity purchased. Those who are in debt will not find it quite so convenient to pay in specie as in a depreciated currency, but from what we have seen it is plain that prices will adjust themselves to the new order of things in due season, and upon the whole the return to specie will be hailed with satisfaction by the large mass of the people. The news from Cuba brings sad tidings of bloody works there. On both sides wholesale butcheries have taken place. Quesada had shot one hundred and thirty five Spaniards and Jordan three hundred more in retaliation for the butchery of numerous Cuban families by the Spaniards. More arrests have been made and more killing done since then by the Spanish au thorities, and among the victims are Americans, whose execution must be ac counted for to our government. There has been for some time a call to interfere in the name of humanity to stop this bar barous warfare in Cuba, and the longer the delay the more urgent the call. The contested case of the representa tives from Vinul llaven has been with drawn we understand by mutual consent of all parties concerned, they concluding that there was no legal election held on account of informality in the notice to one of the towns in the class. For the Journal. OOVERSOR CHAMBER!,AIX AT WA SIIIS'GTOX. I was very sorry to notice an article in the last Maine Farmer reflecting severely upon Governor Chamberlain, in which it is said, I ••After a month's absence it is gratifying to know that the Governor is once more at liber ty to give some attention to the business of the State." 1 may hope that the •Farmer did not: know that the Governor was at Washington on business of the State of the most itnpor-' tant character, for I am sure no man would j sneer at a faithful, public officer in this most j unjust manner, if he did know the truth. It is scarcely less justifiable to do so at random, without stopping to enquire whether the in sinuation is true or false. 1 happen to know that the Governor went to Washington, when he did, in obedience to a summons from some members of Congress, to attend to most im portant business of the State imposed on him as a trust by the legislature. The citizens of Maine have large pecuniary claims against the I'nited States, which have been audited and allowed by this State, and to be paid to parties in interest when received from the I'nited States. The first is the claim for in terest on the advancements made by Massa chusetts in the war of 1812—15, which by joint resolutions of Massachusetts and Maine have been appropriated to the E. N. A. K. II., amounting to from $800,000 to $1,000,000. The next is a claim of citizens who owned land on the northeastern boundary, which was taken from them by the conventional line of tlu- I reaty ol astungton, ami ceaea dv the United States, by consent of Maine, to j Great Britain. This claim amounts to about, #35,000; and by the liesolve of the Legisla ture of 1869, the Governor was directed to “take nil necessary measures to obtain sue)) amount or amounts from the United States." The other claim was for lands of private citizens of the State, taken in 1862 and 1862, for batteries for what was called coast de fenses, amounting to over #5000. These lands were taken at Eastport, and by a Re solve of 1869, the Governor was directed “to take measures to secure from the United States government payment for lamlsand materials taken and used under the acts. Ac., providing for the defence of the Xorth Eastern frontier of said State, by the erection of coast batteries and other defenses." These claims amounting to a million dollars, all adjusted and allowed by Maine, and per fectly just in themselves, and justly due from the United States, and have been for a long time, it was the imperative duty of the Gov ernor. in obedience to the mandate of the legislature, to present and press on the United States. But why take this time to do it, when the legislature is in session? Simply for this reason: These claims, if admitted to be just by the United States, could be put directly in to the appropriotion bills of Congress and al lowed immediately, or they must go over to another year. They must be explained and authenticated before the departments at Washington by some one, and the legislature had imposed this duty on the Governor. It must be done at this time, while the appro priations are passing through Congress, and before the golden opportunity had passed. The Governor was urgently summoned to Washington for this purpose, and his co-op eration was deemed absolutely essential at that particular time; and he would have been recreant to his obligations if he had not obey ed the summons. He purposed to leave on Monday for Washington, by cars, but was in vited to go on the Monarch, which was to sail before that time, and was expected to arrive at Annapolis.so that he could reach Wash ington only twelve hours later than if he had gone by cars. He adopted this course be cause riding in the cars seriously affects the wounds which he received in defense of his country, while others were quietly at home making money and enjoying the fruits of his perils. The bad weather delayed the Mon arch but I am satisfied that the Governor left the moment she anchored, and did not re turn to her again, but devoted all his time to the business of the State, and left on its com pletion, and rode day and night for home. Now, under these circumstances, as he re ceives no additional compensation for this time, and has made no charge to the State for his expenses even, is it not very unfair and ungenerous to charge him, by implica tion, with abandoning his official duty to bury Peabody “definitively?" My connection with Borne of these claims as counsel, enabled me to know the Governor’s business, and all the facts I have stated, and in behalf of the par ties interested I urged him to go. I should have sent this communication to the Farmer if it was not so long before it is published again, and hope that paper will make the “amende honorable.” J. Baker. March 3d, 1870. A communication elsewhere in this paper objects to the action of the Senate in indef initely postponing the resolve to pay our State bonds in gold. That action was taken under an impression that the late decision of the Supreme Court in relation to the legal tender act might be reversed. The Senate will maintain inviolate the credit of the State, so that its creditors will have no reason to complain. To do otherwise would be to go back on the record of the republican party and cast a stain upon it which it would be difficult to erase. GENERAL NEWS.

WILL maim: keep her crediti To the Editor of the Kennelec Journal: Fifty years ago the people of Maine, “in order to establish justice,” ordained a consti tution for the government of the State, and declared that the Legislature shall pass no law impairing the obligation of contracts, (which, in effect, can sometimes be done negatively as well as affirmatively), and that every person for an injury done him in his property, should have hie right without denial and without de lay Maine has hitherto paid her creditors in currency (properly enough, perhaps, nnder the prevalent understanding of her duty); but no one denies that the decisions of the 8upreme Court of the United States are the supreme law of the land, and that Court has now de cided that creditors of the State, who became such prior to Feb. 25, 1862, are entitled to coin or its equivalent in currency, for their unsatisfied claims. And yet the Senate of i Maine says that class of her creditors shall j not have their right; and by a yea and nay j vote of 17 to C, indefinitely postponed a re- j solve, unanimously reported by the Finance i Committee of the House, and unanimously adopted by the House,directingthe StateTrcas- j urer to do simple justice to those creditors. Why was this? The reported proceedings of the Senate contain no answer to that question. The creditors referred to loaned the State I specie funds, and the State promised to pay them specie fumls in return, say the Court. Greenbacks to-day are at a discount of at least twelve per cent. Can Maine, (her honor 1 hitherto unsullied), afford to repudiate her en gagements at any price Is twelve per cent, on about one eighth of her whole bonded debt a sufficient bribe to corrupt her integri ty? If the action of the Senate it to stand, and their proposition to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the State shall be carried out, which feature in her history will stand out in strongest relief, her glory, or her shame? If denial of right is a policy to be justly chargable to Republicans, wherein, as far as repudiation of just debts is concerned, is Re publican practice better than Democratic the ory and threats A Citizen or Maine rnoM the Stakt. The Advertiser says it will be remembered that some two years ago the store of Messrs. 1 Wadsworth A Sons, in Calais, was Entered, the safe blown open and robbed of #2,500. Two men, Davis and Clark, were arrested, tried at Machtes, and sentenced to nine years’ imprisonment in the State Prison at Tbomas ton. They made a fell confession after the trial, and tbcfr exploits had been well nigh forgotten, when last week a letter was re ceived by the Messrs. Wadsworth, from Co lumbus, Ohio, givings brief history of Davis. He was born and reared in Columbus, served bis apprenticeship in a printing office there, and at the breaking out of the rebellion bo enlisted in the Union army, taking part in the first battle of Hull Hun. Afterwards he re enlisted in the 4f>th Ohio Regiment, and par ticipated in the battle of Shiloah and siege of Corinth. The letter also states that he was honorably discharged from the service, and had always been considered an honest boy. It ia nearly three years since he left home, and his friends and relations have considered him dead, till a letter wus received from him, written in prison. He lias a mother—a widow living in Columbus, and the letter states that she is highly respected. The Pembroke Iron Works are again in operation. Legislative Committee Notices.

A rain storm now would be looked upon as a calamity in this vicinity. Municipal election one week from to-day. Voters are referred to the notice of the City Clerk in reference to correction of list. I.et every man see to it that his name is on the list. The voting lists were posted Saturday. If any voter finds that his name has been omit ted, or incorrectly entered on the books, he should take pains to have the matter put right at once. By actual count, 1284 teams passed over the Kennebec bridge on Saturday last, be tween the hours of seven o’clock in the morn ing and 6 I\ M. This certainly indicates activity in business. Arrangements have been made where by Miss Vesta Turner, who carries on millinery in a room over the post offiee, can retain her present location. By her industry and taste she has built up a nice little business. Mr. Stephen Cobb of Tituton, having re signed his position as principal of the Gram mar school, at a meeting of the directors on i Saturday, it was unanimously voted to engage Mr. Franklin Whitney for the remainder ot the term. Mr. Whitney will take charge ot the school this Monday morning, anil we have no doubt of his ability both to teach and gov ern the school. Some items about the coming bonnets are gathered in advnnee. They are to extend higher above the head than ever, and are to have a sort of crown with which to cover part of the back hair now worn so low. We thought bonnets towered high enough al ready. but those who have seen the new ones in preparation say those of the winter look as though they had been sat upon and crushed. The material to be introduced for bonnets is China crape, and the flowers imported are of the pale hues in which that erape is made, or in deep, rich colors, forming strong contrasts with it. First among the new tints—they arc too delicate to be called colors—is a pale yel low green. Next is tea-rose, a fainter salmon pink titan the apricot shade; chair or flesh color, rose de chine, peau or skin color, souffre or sulphur, or dust color, and, more than anything else, the eern or unbleached buff worn last snmraer. Flowers will be worn in prolusion; they are mounted in clus ters, without much foliage, and as we repeat every season, there are more roses than any thing else. Some of these are arranged in new and pretty contrasts. Coaaty Estimates. The Legislative Committee on County Esti mates have reported that the sums annexed in the following schedule be a tax on each coun ty respectively, to be appropriated, assessed, collected and applied for the use ot paying the debts and necessary expenses of the same, and other purposes ordered by law Androscoggin $22,000 Aroostook 14,000 Cumberland 70,000 Franklin 10.000 Hancock 11,000 Kennebec 29,600 Knox 12,000 Lincoln 9,000 Oxford 9,000 Penobscot 35,000 Piscataquis 5,000 Sagadahoc 15,000 Somerset 10,000 Waldo 15,000 W'ashington 13,000 York 26,000 foattaeatal Lift Insurance Company of .New fork. We take pleasure in noticing the great suc cess and popularity of this company. We tielieve its growth has been unsurpassed in the history of life underwriting. Its record shows an increase in the amount of business done each year, of about fifty per cent, over the previous year. Four thousand policies were reported for the first year, six thousand for the second, and nearly nine thousand for 1869. But few of the older companies issued as many policies in the first year, and its nu merous patrons in this vicinity will t>o grati fied to know, that while such an army of new members has been gathered in, its ratio of claims and expenses to income has been un usually low, a condition of things which can but conduce to the welfare of those who are already insured in the company, as well as of those who may be hereafter. We confidently recommend it to any who are desirous of ob taining life insurance. See advertisement in another column. Tke Schools of Hallo sett. The annual examination of the public j schools of Hallowell took place last week. The six Primary schools, taught respectively by Mrs. Berry, Misses Johnson, Haines, Snow, French and Mrs. Horn, were visited and reviewed by the committee, Rev. A. R. Crane, Dr. J. T. Chase and J. H. Leigh, Esq., on Monday and Tuesday. These schools are in excellent condition, and reflect credit upon the faithful teachers who have been entrusted with them. The examination of the two Intermediate Schools, taught by Misses White and Lakeman, took place on Wednesday; we understand the scholars were found to have made commendable progress in their studies, showing good efficiency on the part of the teachers, and studious habits on the part of the scholars. At the close of the examination both of the teachers were recip ients of testimonials from their scholars, evincing their high esteem. The examination of the Grammar School was begun Thursday forenoon, and closed in the afternoon. This school was under the care of Mies Norton, who has already been retained »ix years by tlio school officers of the city, and whose ability as a teacher ha* been highly estimated by the County Supervisor, whtf pays her an enviable compliment. The examination justified the large expectation of the committee, proving the term to havn the Shores of Tennessee.” 7th. singing. “Pulling hard against the nt ream.” Kill. Declamation.

The presentation was prettily made. We are glad to be able to state that Mr. Merriman is to be retained for a second year as Principal of the school. The parts taken by tlie several students were well performed, considering the short time allowed for preparation. Not more than thirty minutes of school time had been appropriated for this purpose, and no prepar ation whatever iiad been made for the exhibi tion previous to the Monday preceding. The paper termed The Rosebudwhich was read by Miss Julia M Tuck, was a handsomely edited little affair. On the subject of “School Examinations” are some thoughtful observa tions, which we copy I Mo shadow which an approaching xami nation ca.-t.-i upon a school is an unnatural one. The teacher, or scholar, who lias la bored conscientiously during the year, ought to experience feelings of pleasure when their work is put to the final test, when they show to their friends that their time has been w ell improved. It is a legitimate part of their reward, just as legitimate as the benefits which they hope to reach from their increased knowledge. It is true, that no matter how honestly they may have labored, they will experience an anxiety lest they fail, but that is very different from fear. Why is this fear> .Simply because they know that an unjust judgment is to be passed upon them. Whether their judgment be favorable or the contrnry does not affect the justice of it. They know that six hours are to be taken as a sample of nine hundred and sixty. And during those six hours they are in an unfavorable light. For any in the least conversant with schools know that they do not reach an average line upon examination days. If one false step be taken, then the impression is given, or rather gratuitously taken, that such has been the course throughout the year. Now for the remedy. Let the friends of a school form their decision from a year's ac quaintance, and not from one day’s. Let them visit it often. It may be some trouble to do so, but if they do not feel repaid by what they see and hear, let them remember that it is a posilire benefit to the srhools. and there fore a duty upon them. For schools exert such an influence that it devolves upon i very body to cast his or her influence upon the right side. Let them not hug Jhe delusive idea that the committee can attend to this matter alone. That idea will be pretty effectu ally ventilated if they stop to consider how much of the committee's time it would re quire to frequently visit the various schools in this city, and afterwards think what com pensation they receive. Each day therefore should find some one of the parents in the school. Some may remark ‘that would keep us running all of the time.' Let us see what the figures say upon that point. Three hnn dred and twenty parents at least are repre sented in the schools of this city. Suppose each parent made six visits a year, that would give to each school between six and seven visits a week, whereas they now receive about one a month. 'When we say rtstifs we do not mean that a 1 chole or a half day should be spent in the school, but such time as is con venient. Let such a course be taken by the parents and we shall find a great change for tie- bet ter. The scholars will be encouraged in an important work. They will know that tlu-y are not to be judged for words or actions in a time of excitement, but for their whole year’s work. We hope these thoughts may bear some fruit and that the next school year will not pass away ir. this respect as the one before it." On Friday while S. B. Starbird of Pishon's Ferry, was loading hay at Hunter’s Mills, his hay hook slipped letting a bale of hay fall up on him, breaking his leg just below the knee, and also spraining his ankle badly.

socim or California rioNEEfts. Mrmnrtil of the tat* 6*orff« 8. Well* of lallowell At the last regular meeting of the So ciety of California Pioneers in San Fran cisco, the following report of a committee was adopted: CiF.trn.EMKN :—Your committc, appoint ed fort ha purpose, report the following as a tribute to the memory of our late fellow member, Capt. George Wells, who, beyond all reasonable, if not possible, doubt, has long since closed his mortal career. 1 Two years this last month, apt. ells, in the full vigor and maturity ot manhood, frequented these halls, shedding an at mosphere of (*lit‘orfuliH*s3 Jirounti liim j»n the trank heartiness and general urbanity ot his manners, and inspiring regard and respect bv the sterling qualities of his character.* Our places, that once knew him. will know him no more forever. On the Zfkh day of January, ISOS, he sailed from this port in command of th«- banpie Swatlou', owned or chartered by the house of Alsop iV Co., bound for Java and Siam. The vessel was a model one of her class, swift, staunch, and strong, and elegantly equipped, a combination of merchantman yacht, all bade fair for a prosperous voy age. Ac companied by his amiable wile, he curried with him itis household gods and all that he held most dear. He arriv ed at Batavia on the lL'tli of the succeeding April, and afterwards at Bangkok in the kingdom ul oJiiin, win ner. na\mg io-kcii on board his cargo, he sailed on the re turn voyage tii San Francisco on the 6thday of May, 1%$. And here, tilts bnef recital necessarily draws to a close. e can only add—a missing ship—no tidings from that day to tliis*—no trace left behind. Whether she went down in darkness and in stonr., or stranded on a lone coral reef far Ironi human aid, or fell a victim to the ruthless pirates of those seas, or succumb ed to some other of the thousand perils of the deep, there is none left to tell the tale. And thus lias been added another to the long list of lost, but not forgotten barques, that have sailed from the shores of time to eternity, whose fate is shrouded in more than spectral gloom, only to be dispelled when the se i shall give up its dead, and these mortal frames shall put on the vest ment of immortality. Ami thus perished as brave a heart as of any that e'er trod quarter deck, and a- genial and true a gentleman as may be found enrolled in our association. A loss to us, a loss to hi* country: for he belonged to tiiat gallant class of men, who once made England mistress of th? seas, and who founded and have maintained our maritime greatness. From among us, in the present decay of our commerce, they are rapidly passing aw ay. Time may eome w hen their places cannot be filled. Captain Wells was born in llallowell, Maine, in the year 1824. After receiving agood school education, he became in boyhood a seaman. Under the strict train ing of thirty years ago, lie gradually work ed his w ay up from before the mast, un til he attained the rank of master. For many years he has commanded ships sail ing to various portions of the world w ith uniform success up to the time of liis last, and fatal voyage, and always meeting with the approbation of his owners and the rc -pect and confidence of his passengers, lie occupied a high rank in the Masonic Order, being a member of the Command ery. And none are more ready to attest liis merits than his brother masons, who knew him so well, lie was a man of large heart and generous impulses, valuing money more for the good it would do to others, than lor itself. He first visited these -bores in October. 1840. About sev en years since, became here w ith the view of making this his home, and from that time commanded various vessels sailing out of this port. Though not a thoroughly educated man, outside of his profession, he w as endowed with keen perceptions, a retentive memo ry,and no ordinary literary tastes, and had, in the course of his w orld-wide experi ence, accumulated such a fund of infor mation, both instructive and amusing, as rendered his conversation far more enter taining than that of the mere scholar. In conclusion we can truly say, that he was alike at home in battling the storms of the ocean atid in the amenities of social life. You* Committee submit the following resolutions: Wiiekeas, We arc convinced beyond all reasonable doubt, that our fellow member, George G. Wells, lias, by the inscrutable and All-w ise dispensation of Divine Provi dence, been removed from this life. Resolved, That in his death, this Society has been deprived of a well beloved and honored member, and that this communi ty aftd our common country have lost a most valuable and respected citizen. Resolved, That though deprived by the circumstances of this dispensation, to which we humbly bow, of the privilege of placing Ids mortal remains in their last resting place and paying the customary rites in honor of the dead, yet his memory is left to us, which we will ever cherish and preserve as well in our hearts as in the records of this society.
