meeting held at the school house in the I'd
ward on Monday evening last, the PROPOSE
ton to build a new school house was voted
down by majority of two, to the disgrace
of the district; for, we are informed, and
believe, that there are at least one hun.
dred children in this district that would
attend school and that cannot find standing
room inside Of the buildings provided for
school purposes. This certainly is blot
upon the fair name of our now thriving
village. that should be rubbed out at once,
for many mighty reasons, that are vitally
important to ouf we'll bearing as commu-

AN IMPOsTuON-On Wednesday morn
ing last, the public were treated to an en-
tirely gratuitious display of bunting to-
gether with flaming extra issued from
the Office across the way-the latter con-
tanning the astonishing news that ''the
Dutch had taken Holland;' ie, the radi-
Gals, Git was beiieved,) had carried few
States that have not voted any other way
than radical for these many years. When
the full returns come to hand wei wager
that the Democrats, as they did in Maine
and Connecticut, will have gained thou
sands on the previous votes in those States.
Such display, before any definite news
came, was not only ridiculous, but an i'm
position on the public -.l--
?. S.-As we expected, the dispatches to
the Milwaukee papers, of the 10Th, show
large Democratic gain in all the states hold
ing elections, viz: Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Iowa.
Next week we will give the full returns.
