Tho Virginia Bill.

The Virginia bill which passed the
House of Representatives on Friday last,
reads as follows:
Whereas, The people Of Virginia have
adopted constitution, Republican in
form, and have in all respects conformed
to the requirements of the act Of Con-
gress entitled "An act authorizing the
submission of the constitutions of Vir-
GINA, Mississippi and Texas to a vote OF
the people, and authorizing the election OF
State officers, provided by the said consti-
tutions and members of Congress-" ap-
proved April 10, 1869; therefore be it
Resol0ed, de-, That the said State Of Vir-
ginia be entitled to representation in the
Congress of the United States.
1t is asserted quite positively that the
Senate will pass the bill which was in
troduced by Mr.. Bingham uncondition-
ally readmitting Virginia into the Union.
1t is expected, however, that there will be
an earnest attempt in the Senate to en-
graft upon the bill what is known as the
Edmunds proviso, which makes it obliga-
tory on the part of each officer and MEM
Der of the Legislature to swear that he
has never taken an oath as a member Of
Congress or officer of the United States,
or of any State Legislature, or as an Ex-
ecutive or Judicial officer of any State, to
support the Constitution of the United
States and afterwards engaged in insur-
rection or rebellion against the same; or
that such person shall take an oath that
the disabilities imposed upon him by the
Fourteenth amendment have been re-
moved by Congress. In the event of the
person swearing falsely, the proviso spec
ifes penalty of fine and Imprisonment,
and further, that in all cases of failure to
take the oath within thirty days from the
passage of the bill, the Office of the per-
son thus offending by neglect shall be
deemed to have been vacated. Should the
Senate adopt the proviso of Senator Ed
munds and pass the Bingham bill given
above, with it SIAN amendment, the House
will undoubtedly accept it.

Teachers Associations.

EditQP Rptl0Hd HerdJd: - There is
nothing of public interest moro indispen-
sible to public welfare thar Is tie correct,
thorough, and faithful instruction OF the
young. The public school, therefore,
should receive the earnest attention and
fostering care of all the people. Teachers,
especially, should be ready to avail them
selves of whatever means may be reached
for their improvement in knowledge, and
for the acquisition of all that may give
them efficiency and success in their chosen
work.
Of all ,SLe educational agencies now in
operation in the State, there is none per-
haps more powerful for good, and more
extended in its influence, in proportion to
its cost, and more available by all than is
the Teachers Association. Hence such
Associations have demands upon all for
their earnest and hearty support, de-
mands upon the people for their hospital
ity and generous aid at the meetings of
such Association, and demands upon
teachers fog their presence and contribu-
tions in essays, sdaressee and discussions
for the interest and support ct aqeh meet
ings.
speak thus with special reference to
the Otter Greek Valley Teachers Associa-
ton, recently formed, and whose first
meeting is to be held in Manchester on
the 21st and 22d of the present month.
Every citizen within the limits of the
Association has an interest in its pros
perity aad success, whether he feels it or
not, and every teacher is bound by every
consideration both efinterest and duty to
give it aid and encouragement. Let all
take hold of the work in earnest and this
Association shall become, in an educational
point of view, the blessing and pride of
the Valley.
The cause is worthy of the sacrifice of
time and money, and to make such sacri-
fee, if need be, is duty. Let teachers
then rally at Manchester, and by earnest
work in the convention assembled, seek
preparation for still higher and nobler
work. CIvIs.

OLD AND NEw.-The second number
february of this latest guest in maya
zine society seems to be fully up to the
standard of expectation awakened by the
first number, and is therefore in the very
front rank of American Literature.
Among its contents we notice an interest
ing story from the German entitled La
Creche; an article on the frequent anato-
mical anomaly Of six fingers and toes,
by Prof Wilder of Cornell University /;
The French System of Storm Maps; Lam
guage Fine Art; The West as it Is, by
Julia Ward Howe; Nature and the Great
Railroad (the Pacifo) by w. T. Brigham /;
Florida, by Charles Beecher The Negro
and his Bureau, by Sidney Andrews,
Dixon of the Boston Advertiser, and
Janus on the Pope and the Council. There
are two engrossing religious articles, one
being entitled What is Religion, by G.
Carroll Everett, and the other the Scrip
tnres-the nature of their inspiration,
and their relation to other sources of re-
Ggious truth, by Rev. DIR. Henry W. Bel
lows. Col. Frederick Ingham's curious
story, Ten Times One is Ten, is continued,
and story from the French of M. Andre
Theuriet, entitled Claude Bloute's Suffer
ings, opens well. The poetry in the num-
Der is "Gloria in Excelsis," by Mrs M. P.
Lowe, and Two Yards of Earth, by Edgar
L. Paxton. The magazine has 132 octave
pages, and therefore contains much else
that we have not noticed.

DESTRUCTION OF THE NEW GAS
Works AT SARATOGA SPRINGs.-At
one.half past two o'clock Saturday after
noon the people of Saratoga were startled
by terrific explosion in the northern
part Of the village, which was soon known
to have been caused by the entire destruc-
ton of the new gas works, situated about
forty rods north Of the Empire and Star
springs. The alarm was great and the
village poured its streams of living hui
mainly into the low valley in which the
works were situated. The Gas Company
have been at an enormous expense in
putting up the most permanent and capa-
oious buildings and apparatus in these
parts and had nearly completed the same.
The large "tank" which has been sup
piled of late from the old gas works at
the east part of the town was nearly full
Of gas, and though the pipe had not been
connected between this tank and the new
works, it was laid from the tank to the
cellar of the new building. Workmen
had, during the first part of the day, been
at work adjusting valve to this pipe
which was to cut off the gas between the
new work and the tank. On going to
dinner they left this valve open, relying
upon the water in the "drip" between this
valve and the tank, to prevent the escape
of gas. In their absence, two workmen
were ordered to pump the water from this
"drip" which permitted the gas to escape
from the tank, filling the cellar and the
entire new building. It soon communi-
Gated with the fire in the engine room at
the south end of the building, and the
whole was ignited, causing the most COM
plete demolition of the building imagin-
able,-scaroe one brick was left upon an.
other. Six workmen only were in prox-
unity to the building. Two at the north
side who were pumping the drip escaped
with slight bruises. Two at the east side,
within thirty feet of it and elevated ten
feet from the ground, escaped with
singed hair and whiskers, also cuts and
bruises about the face and hands, and were
only saved from instant death by the
protection offered by the tank in which
they were at work. Two men were also
in the engine room and saw the first indi-
cations of danger, and were enabled to
reach the door in season to be carried
with the flying rubbish some rods from
the building, where they found themselves
comparatively unhurt. Thousands have
visited the spot where gas house once
stood and pronounce it the most complete
work of destruction ever witnessed Loss
estimated at from thirty to forty thousand

FIRE IN EAST CLARENDON. - The
buildings of Spencer G. Smith of East
Clarendon were wholly consumed by fire
on Sunday evening last, about o'clock.
Mr.. Smith went to his barn, with kero-
sene lamp, which he set down, intending
to throw some hay to his horses, when,
from some cause, the lantern fell over and
exploded, enveloping the building in
flames, which soon spread to his dwelling
house, carriage shed, corn barn, hog pen,
&C., all of which were consumed. The
buildings were all contiguous to each
other, and one becoming thoroughly on
fire it was impossible to save the rest. He
succeeded in saving all his live stock and
household furniture, with some of the con-
tents of the outbuildings, though he
loses some three tons of hay, one
hundred bushels of potatoes, three hun
dred grounds of sugar, two tubs OF but
ter, all of his farming tools, &C., valued
at about $4,000, and which was insured
in the Vermont Mutual for $500.
