~ A large and enthusiastic meeting OF
Republicans was held in the village OF
Arena last Monday evening. The Grant
and Colfax club from Mazo Mamie arrived
on the ground with an excellent band of
music. After parading through the prin.
cioal streets with their lighted torches and
the firing of cannon, they proceeded to the
meeting, which was called to order by DR..
VIM. Brisbane, who, after few remarks,
introduced the Hon. S. S. Wilkinson. Mr..
Wilkinson spoke for some time in very
patriotic manner, reviewing and comparing
the two different parties, and concluded by
calling on the friends of Grant and Colfax
to do their duty molly this fall. Mr.. VIM.
Powell of Mazo Mamie was next intro
duced and made an excellent speech, which
was loudly applauded. VIM. E. Rowe,
(our next assemblyman) was present sur
rounded by hosts Of friends. The meet
ing adjourned at late hour, after three
rousing cheers were given for Grant, Col
fax and the whole titAet. Altogether it
was a perfect success.

Rag Down with the Copperheads !!
Meeting at Ruggles' school-house.

The citizens of the town of Ridgeway,
residing in the vicinity of Hyde's Mill,
assembled at Ruggles School house last eve
ming, to listen to speeches from Judge
Wilson, VIM. Henby Esq, and Maj. Otis.
There was in attendance large and in
tellgent audience, who listened with mark
ed attention, and considerable interest.
Judge Wilson opened with good and
telling speech of about one hour in
length, reviewing the course of the parties,
the claims of the candidates, and winding
up with the certain success of the Repub-
lican party, and the evident prospects
of victory, and consequent term of peace
prosperity, and plenty.
Mr.. VIM. Hendy confined himself more
especially to the financial policy Of the
parties, showing the short sightedness o.
the democracy in the past, the success Of
the Republican financial policy, the danger
of the experiment of change, and the
undoubted expediency and justice of still
further trusting our government to the
care of patriots and statesman.
Mai. Otis closed with an appeal to the
soldiers who endured the hardships o
camp-life, suffered the loss of home, friends
and relations, for the preservation of this
Union, to stand firm, and not desert Their
flag, in this its hour of need, and still it
hour of certain success.

nW@T The one great need Of this village
at present, is good school house.
No one can visit the school rooms now
in use without acknowledging this to be
the fact. More dilapidated, inconvenient,
and uncomfortable buildings are not to be
found in any place of this size in the state.
1t seems to be nobody's business to attend
to them. Year after year children are
started off to school without an inquiry
whether the schoolrooms are in condition
to receive them, or not.
There are two schoolhouses in the vii
lage, both of them crowded every year, land
sadly in need of repair, both internally and
externally. The town hall, used for a
schoolroom, is untitled in every respect
for such purpose. How many gentle
men of this village would like to take a
stranger to visit their schools The crow
ded rooms, broken and smoking stoves, land
lack of every appliance necessary for sue
cess in the work Of teaching, would not be
apt to impress any one with high opinion
of the enterprise of the village.
How are habits of neatness,an order to
be inculcated with such surroundings
Money can always be found for any oth-
err purpose than schools. Churches, pub
lie buildings Of any other kind, can be
built and improved Why is it that schools
should be so neglected.? 1t seems to have
never occurred to many of our citizens thai
there was anything lacking in the present
system of conducting school affairs iii this
village, and a new idea is formidable
thing for great many minds 10 cope with
Those who are satisfied with the present
condition of affairs, are respectfully invitet
to visit the schools, and see for themselves
whether they consider the buildings wha
they should be. It is to be hoped tina
there will be large attendance at thu
meeting to be held next Monday night t.
discuss this subject.
Inasmuch as it is one Of vital importance
| to the welfare of the rising generation il
this vicinity, there is great deal involved
| in the decision Of our citizens. There ar
few likely to call into question the value o
good education, and certainly goo'
school house has something to do with sue
cess in the pursuit Of knowledge.
