the roofofthe large building knownas the ‘ Tho’s

1835. The loss is variously estimated at from
$1,000,000 to 32.000000 The stores destroyed
were 7 in number. The large store fronting on
South and Front streets,was built by Thomas H.
Smith at a cost of $100,000. It was one ofthe
finest buildings of the description in the city.-
It was occupied by J. I. Hicks. as a storage de-"
pository, and was filled with mercbandize ofilic
most valuable description, among which were
the cargoes of the ship Nantasket, of Boston.
which arrived on the 2d Dec. and the ship Cov-
ington. of Baltimore, which arrived on the 27tli
Oct. from Canton. There was also a quantity
of other merchandize destroyed in the store.
among which were about 200 barrels of flour,
and a number of bales of cotton. Some cottoii.
and 2 or 300 boxes of tens, was rescued from the
flames, principally belonging to the cargo ofthe
Nantaskct. The building iistelfis entirely gone,

Norton TO PARENTS Ann Taxcnrzits.
Extracts from the laws relatiiig to Schools.
" Each School Society shall appoint a suita-
ble number of persons, not. exceeding nine, of
competent skill in letters. to be overseers, or vis-
itor of the schools in such society; whose duty
it shall be to examine the instructors, and to dis-
place such as may be fontid deficient in any
requisite qualification, or who will not conform
to the regtilations by them adopted; to superin-
tend and direct the general instruction of the
scholars; aiid to visit the schools twice at least,
during each season sf schooling; at which visi-
rations two or more of them shall be parents.
when they may require from the master stich
exercises ofthe youth. as will show their profi-
ciency in learning-" _ .
" The visitors, or overseers appointed by any
school society, may prescribe rules and regula-
tions for the management, studies. books, and
discipline of the schools in said society."
In fulfilling so much of the above as relates
to the general insiruction of the scholars, the
School Visitors of the Society of Norwalk, after
due examination and deliberation. have decided
that the following books be adopted for use in
the schools of this Society: A
1. Webster’: Spelling Book.
2. The Bible or the New Testament, to be used
daily as a reading book in all the reading class-
es in each school.
3. Child's Instruclor. addllltmal
4. Popular Lessons. reading
5. Por.‘er's Rhetorical Reader, books.
7. Smit/t.’s Grammar.
8. Daboll‘s Improved Arithmetic.
9. .Mitchcll's Geography.
Most of-these books are already used in the
schools. In cases where an Arithmetic or Ge-
ography is in use, diflerent from those named in
the list, it is not required that it be thrown aside.
But in all cases where new books are to be pro-
cured, it is directed that no others be allowed,
save those named in the above list.
In prescribing the above works, the commit-
tee have fulfilled the duty imposed upon them
by law, with a view to the rapid and permanent
improvement of the pupils in our schools; and
at the same time they have directed that they
be introduced in such a gradual manner as to
satisfy the wishes of the most economical parent.
No book already purchased is required to be
thrown aside until it is worn out; and only when
new‘ books are to be bought are parents and
teachers restricted to the foregoing list.

PHENIX BITTER-9.
Those who have perused the letters above re-
ferred to will observe that in almost every case
they attest the fact. that no inconvenience ofany
snit attends the taking of these medicines, in or-«
di.iary_c.a*ses. but that the patient, without fr-el
ing their operation is universally left in a strm-g
er and better staieofliealtlt than was experieiir-r-d
previous to being t:II'll('.lt-‘fd ‘with disease; and to
all cases of acute sutler-irrg. great relief is obmio
ed in a few hours and it cute is generally effe-cte.:
in two or three days.
In cases of Fever of every description, and all
billioiis affections, it is unnecessary for me i.,,;:_ .:

The Life Medicines are also most eXri’léf.‘.-:

has been proved in hundreds of cases where pa-
tients have come forward and requested that their
experience in taking tlietri might be ptililislied
‘for ilie benefit of others. In their operation in
siiclt cases. they restore the tone of the Siotiiach,.
strengthen the digestive organs, and invigorate
the general functions of the whole body, and thus
become to both sexes (for they are perfectly a-
dapied to each) an invaluable means of prev_g-nt-
ing disease and restoring health. T‘ ,
