The FIRST WARD PUBLIC SCHooL.-We
Yesterday visited this school, and spent a
short time in each department. We We're
very favorably imp. essed with the manner
N which the school is conducted, and were
surprised to find such number of pupils in
attendance, as we'll as to observe the pro.
fcienco which marked every department of
the institution. The school has been open
ed but one week, and can hardly be said to
be IN full operation, as new scholars are
daily coming in.
In the first department, in charge of Mr.
Jas. T. Snowden and Miss Emma j, Arndt,
there are fifty scholars. In the second de-
partmant, in charge of Misses Josephine
Chapman and Hanna Phillips, there are
sixty scholars. In tue bird department
III charge of Miss Matilda M'Donald, there

The SrRIKE.-As we announced yester-
day morning, the coal diggers employed by
the several rolling mills are again on a
strike. The proprietors of the city banks
expect revolt in their banks in DAY or
two At the present rates the diggers can
make four dollars per day, and if they re-
ceive the price they now demand they
will be able TO make seven dollars per day.
We think this demand very exorbitant and
quite unreasonable, but as the diggers con-
troll the proprietors of the banks as we'll as
consumers, we presume the demand vii
have to be acceded to. Some of the bank
owners are talking of selling out aud ente
the banks as diggers, as it will be NOR,
profitable,

majority l4o,l6
The same towns last year gave Coburn,
Rep, 287; Bradbrary and Jemison, 24,439,
less majority than 1881, which shows a
Union net gain of 9535. This includes
about FIVE Gig hts Of the aggregate vote Of
the State. The aggregate vote in these
towns is 1884 against $3.50 last year,
which show an increase of 1855, which
will amount to $4,000 in the State, making
ll3,5O0 votes against ,5O4 last year.
The towns to be heard from gave Repub-
lican majority last year.
The Union ticket has probably carried
every county in the State.
The House of Representatives, which
stood last year lO7 Rrepub. to "a Dem, will
stand better than this for the Union party,
they having gained, as far as heard from,
four members, without losing any.

last lCourt] week gave Us an opportunity of
seeing and conversing with large number
of the leading and m ost influential Demo

one and all, gave it as their delibera.e
opinion that WooDwAsD.s majority would
reach about 1900 in the cou6ty. The rebels
invasion has greatly damaged CURTIN in

him with neglect of duty and hold him res
ponsibIe for The defenceless condition of The

will be exlumed when the Democracy as
