Within the last dozen years the Gover

a majority of one. A recent paper says
that a siimle vote sent Oliver Cromwell to
the Long Parliament, Charles Stuart to
the scaffold revolutionized England, and
made Great Britain free. One vote gave
v , c ,
us the tariff in 1842, and one vote made
the tariff of 184G. One vote gave us Tex-
as, and made war with Mexico, and pur-
chased California, turned Ihithcr the tide
of emigration, and will change the desti-

habit of excusing themselves from atten-

Common Schools in Ohio From

0,1 thc condition of common schools for
the past year, we learn that the whole
number of youth in the State is 838,609.
The entire number of pupils enrolled,'
male and female, is -i:J7,41U. Thc ave
rage daily attendance during the year
has been but 22Gf29S. There are near
ly 500,000 children who arc entitled to
attend these schools, but who do not!
The difference between the number of
pupils enrolled and the average atten-
dance is a still more painful fact. Either
parents or teachers are in fault when less
than five-eights of thc scholars of all the
schools in the State are present. It is a
significant fact that the enrolled number
of boys exceeds that of thc girls by more
than 40,000. There are 9,91 G schools,
with 12,404 teachers in thc State, to the
latter of whom 8771,145 are paid as
wa;es. 171 schools houses have been

Trees of Oregon. In the March num
ber of Barry's Horticulturist, published
at Rochester, is a communication from N.
Coe, of Portland, Oregon, furnishing ac
counts of the dimensions of several trees
of remarkable size which he measured in
that Territory ; one of these trees near
Astoria, being 10 feet in diameter five
feot above the ground, 112 feet to the
first limb, and its total height 242 feet.
Another one, in a forest of spruce,
cedar and fir, of about the same size,
measured thirty-nine feet in circumfer
ence. Mr. Coe says : "Gen. John Adair,
of Astoria, informs me that about three
years ago he bought a hundred thousand
shingles, all made from ono cedar tree,
for which he gave fifteen hundred dollars
in gold." The tremendous size of timber
in Oregon appears to be well attested.
The salaries of the various officers within
