G. MORRIS HAS ALSO ADDED TO HIS ESTABLISHMENT,
A PATE N T COMPOSITE -HEARSE
Which is a decided improvement upon the Hearses we have beea accustomed to see. Its appearance is
elegant, and with a pair of first-class black horsea, would do no discredit to the funeral rites of the upper
classes.
By this arrangement the very unseemly practise of placing the coffin either beneath the mourners or
underneath the hammercloth of the coachman, is entirely dispensed with.
Es this improved Hearse becomes more extensively known, it cannot fail to be widely approved and
adopted.

SCHOOL BOARD OF STOURBBIDGE.
TO THE ELECTORS.
Gummy,
Raving been honoured with the choice of the
Public Meeting, held yesterday, I venture to ask for,your
suffrages at the approaching Election.
I should not object to the reading of Scripture in the
School; but I deem it inexpedient to allow comment or
explanation, which can scarcely ;be safe-guarded against
denominational bias.
I should endeavour not to be inflasnoed in the choice
of a School Muter by the special form of his religious
opinions. This important point will be rendered much
easier by the adoption of the principle just stated.
1 approve the compulsory system, as soon as public
opinion is a little better prepared for it.
Aly pos,tiou as a sebum-manager. both in this town
and elsewhere, has led me, for some years past, to give
careful atteetion to the best mono of improving primary
education: winch Can be done without increasing IL
ILI COO.
As lam now unconnected with the management of
any School in this locality, I should give my undivided
attention to the interesta of the ratepayer., and of the
School established by the Board.
Although • nonconformist by conviction, I do not
come forward as the nominee of any sect or party. lam
I and shall remain „thoroughly independent of those influ-
ences, which have sought to deal with this question us
though it were a purely ecclesiastical one.
I should be willing to acquiesce, even now, in any rea.
amiable arrangement for preventing the slight expense or
inconvenience of a contest. But I would remind those
who consider themselves fettered by what is termed a
compromise between Chulichmen and Nonconformists,
that owing to the failure of that arrangement to prevent
a contest, they have now re-entered into perfect posses-
sion of their , electoral freedom. The nonoonformists
too should remember that they have been placed in a
clear minority, by an arrangement which admits three
Churchmen and one Roman Catholic upon the Board.
I cannot admit, therefore, what is so strenuously as-
sorted, that all the " public issues" in this question have
been disposed of, and that what remains is a mere con-
test of " personal ambitions." If this were true, I should
be as much ashamed, as utterly unwilling to engage in
it.
The coalition which took the lead in desiring (and I
may add, in dictating), a " peaceful compromise,, ' did
not even send • delegate to the Public Meeting. Let me
remind you that it is little less than s sacred duty on
your part to exercise free choice among all the canal.
dates.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Yours faithfully,

M.A., Fellow of Uuivereity College,

B. The voting shall be by an official voting paper,
which shall be in the following form, or in a form
similar:—

SCHOOL BOARD FOR STOURBRIDGE.
TO RATEPAYERS, FATHERS, MOTHERS, AND
OCCUPIERS GENERALLY.
At the request of a few friends, I have allowed myself
to be put in nomination as a Candidate tor the above
Board, and as such I venture to present myself before
you and solicit your suffrages.
As the subject appears to me to embrace three points
for consideration, namely, Pectunary, Political, and Reli-
gious, I will refrain from controversy, and promise all
who may accord me their support to act for their inte-
rests as becomes a conscientious man, not fearing the
frowne of others, or courting favours from asp oue, and
my hope is that whoever may be the Members of that
Board they will adopt a similar course. I shall then en-
tertain but little doubt of a satisfactory issue to the body
of Ratepayers, ,Ste.
When! think of the great work, the standing moon-
molts of the voluntary principle, I say it's an insult to
enforce compulsory Education, with all its train of per-
plexed opinions, on a Towt so amply provided with
School accommodation, and I have sometimes been un-
charitable enough to say the imstigators ought not to
have a voice in public matters at all. With theft views
you will observe lam somewhat opposed to compulsory
Education, and public opinion has not yet determined
whichlis most desirable.
I am a Churchman of the Old Parish Church Type, and
an unalterable Trinitarian, and don't care to know the
reasons why some men differ with me in that particular
point. My great desire is that all men may realize the
same convictions.
Mn who said "Suffer little children to come unto me,
and forbid them not," to a thinking mind, certainly
meant, Learn Little Children the Scriptures. Train up
a child, ache should go, and when he is old he will
neither forget, nor wish to find fault with his youthful
training; and as none of us know the number of our day
on earth, old or young, rich and poor, I say, Why ex-
clude a child or children from an early knowledge of a
Saviour'
I have never had to regret the good counsels instilled
into my youthful mind, and now, having arrived at man-
hood, I feel it to be highly desirable to implant early
religious prineiples.
1 boldly avow my indifference to any denomination
which derides a Churchman's Catechism, I feel if it
were more generally taught and acted up to, • great
amount of contumacy and religious conflict would be
avoided. I have never yet discovered.tlp necessity for
more than one religion.
In conclusion, I sincerely hope my fellow Electors
will not promise their votes to canvassers, but carefully
weigh over the subject in their own minds, and vote for
the men they know best, irrespective of their religious
views, and so allow the contest to be openly and fairly
fought out, and a true verdict for once will be the result.
I beg to submkthese few remarks for your consider-
ation, and once more respectfully solicit your support
on the 28th instant, the say of the POLL.
I am,
Yours faithfully,
JOSEPH HILL.
