Mr.. EDIroR:-I have been anXiOuSly look
ing for some action to be taken III regard to
the erection of school-house | do not
mean by action, that the school trustees get
together and talk about fine place to To-
cate it, convenient size, etc. etc, but
mean great deal more-the actual con-
struction to completion. The thing is real
lv too much to think Of for u moment; fifty
or sixty children in the town and immediate
vicinity of Wcavervillc that should be in
school every day, and no house for that pur-
posel Suppose for a momcntthat the same
number of children were in destitute con-
dtion for the actual neceSSares to sustain
life, what would be the action of our cltl-
Zcns? Why their bottom dollar would be
raised, if necessary to relieve their wants,
Permit me for one moment then, to examine
the case of the children in the town of Wea-
ycryille. Are they in real want and deSti-
tuition or not? Are their mental faculties
in a bare and languishng condition for tho
want of proper culture? Most assuredly
they are; but the baneful effects OF this
gross neglect on the part of our citizens to-
provide the true means of their future happi-
ness will probably be realized too late, when.
some of these same ch ildren will have to-
atone to the law for offences commltted py
reason of their poesent neglect. What' "
reflection for parent to see his chllu tIio
victim of crime for the want of p.'oper III

would seem that starvation, the pinchngs of
the wintry frosts, and all the deprivatons
susceptible Of being borne on account of
physical neglect, could not equal the loss of
one promising son or daughter through their
mental neglect. Trustees Of schools for this
little village, yon, and you alone, will be held
responsible for all the consequences, if you

EDS. JOURNAL: The following lines were found
under the pillow of young gentleman of our
town. Like all poets, his muse seems, to have
been invoked by pains. 1t does not require much
Judgment to see that those of the writer are not
lore pains.
OF all the games at which we play,
There's none so id provoking
As when Rheumatic pains essay
10 play without reVOkng
once did loyc--but now do hate
To see men walk with caness
The very sight will reinstate
Those d--d Rheumatic pains
Preachers say the man who sweas
Thc name Of God profanes,
But who can blame the man who dares
10 d--n Rheumatic pains.
hat stops our Courts, our jurics-j Judges.
When injured State complains,
Is not the Lawyers quibbling Judges
But d-d Rheumatic pains.
\ case is called, but can't be tried,
The Judge of course explains
How the States Atty. almost died
With id Rheumatic pains,
Let him who will into me pitch,
For loudly thus complaining
ia rather have the seven-year itch
Than one Rheumatic paining.
