TELEGRAPH TO ROCKPpRT AND
CANNELFoN.-Mr. N. NJ. Booth. Con-
structor and General Superintendent
of the Ohio River line of telegraph,
is in the city with a view to elicit an
interest on the part of our citizens
in behalf of a projected telegraph
line from this city to Rockport OF to
Capnelton. This is an enterprise in
which our city is vitality interested,
and we hope Mr.. Booth will receive
material encouragement from our
business men,. The citizens of Rock
port have subscribed about $1,000 to
the undertaking, and if our city acts
with Ike liberality, and if Newburg
does a propOrtionate duty, the under
taking will prove successful. If
Troy, Tell City, GrandvieW and Can
Melton act with like liberality, the
line will be extended to Canneltop.
and from hat city will be connected
by a submarine cable with the Ohio
River line at Hawesville.

FIRE ALARM-OUR SCHooLs.-The
fearful alarm which so disturbed the
neighborhood of the Ninth Street.
School House yesterday morning,
arose from the most trihing and com
mon circumstance. Al slight explosion
of gas in one Of the furnaces, similar.
to that which is so common in coal
stoves, caused a little puff of smoke.
to rise from one of the registers.
which being observed by the children
in of the rooms, they ran into the
street crying " FireI' AS it was not
yet schoolFtime, but few of the chill
dren were in the building and bat few
teachers. The teachers were unable to
stop the stampede, and so the alarm.
was spread, In a few moments the
most alarming and reports
were aHoat about {" the house being
all on fire, - the furnaces exploded
and children killed. &c.
AS u school houses are prndently
planned and we'll constructed; as our
teachers are frequently lectured to,
and often discuss the subject of
school stampedes, for the purpose of
preventing them, the fault will not
rest upon them if at any time . fear
ful accident should occur in any of
the schools. There is as little danger
from FIRE In our school houses as in
our best private buildings, aud no
one need have the least apprehension
on the subject; but the alarm of fire
in the building or outside, the faint
ing ola teacher. the spasm of q pupil,
a puff of smoke from a furnace or a
stove, the arrangement of a stove
pipe by the explosion of gas, the en-
trance of a drunken or a crazy man,
may occur at any time, and no fore
thought can prevent such things oc-
curing; and if they should occur. it
would only be the presence Of mind
of the teacher that would possibly
prevent a stampede. A great respon-
sibility rests upon the teachers, and
they feel it. They have discussed
such topics frequently. They ought
to have the sympathy and co opera
ton of parents. who should impress
it on the children that when there is
any alarm they will be properly taken
care of, if they will keep cool and
obey orders.
