DISTRESSING ACC BENT.
A Boys Head Crushed Beneath a Heavy
stone.

tFrom the Keokuk Qowa) Gate City, June 12l
OD Johnson street there Is collection OF stone
pillars They are piled on top OF one another IN
some places three and four deep. Several boys were
amusing themselves in that locality yesterday after
noon by using their united exertOns In upsetIng
one OF the piles of stone. The unfortunate lad In
question los his balance and went over with the
pillar falling beneath 1t, with the great mass OF
stone resting upon his head. When we consider
that the pillar weighs more than thousand pounds
the only wonder Is that the boys skull was not
pletely crushed to atoms He was promptly rescued
from MIS- pelii0us situation. The boys head was
fligntfully manged. HIS jaw and cheek bones on
one Side OF his face were shat cred; one eye pro-
tuded from It's socket ana his teeth completely
crushed out. The father OF the victim or this dis
tressing accident is widower, has lodgings III the
Simpson House and is hopeessly insane. This rem
ders the case doubly distressing The boy, alter
having had mis- injuries properly attended 10, was
conveyed to the College Hospital.

Now Orleans Advocate, of February Is, and publish
IL without further comment than to say the writer is
co,ored school teacher OF this place:
SHREVEPORT, La, Feb. l, 1870.
Hon. Thomas W. Conway:
have received the first number Of your paper, and
read its contents with much interest, profit and pleas
ure I think the editorial mantle of the old New Or
leans Advocate has fallen from the shoulders of its
former able and gifted proprietor upon no less earn
est and capable successor. journal devoted to edu-
cation is much needed in our State and will, trust,
do great good for the cause of public schools. Upon
the speedy establishment, in all the reconstructed
States of practical system of free public schools will
depend to large extent the future prosperity, power,
and glory OF the South.
We hope to get our free public schools started
in this city. We are (the Board of Educaton) only
waiting for funds to operate upon The Board met oil
the 29th of January, and organized by appointing D.
e. Reynolds president, and J. n. Howell treasurer,
and the writer secretary. We resolved to petition the
City Council for appropriation of $4,000 for our
public schools, and also to memorable the State Leg
sature to pass act to appropriate the money col
lected as fines by the Recorders Court city of Shreve
port to the support of the free public schools be
organized in this city.
Please give memorial your influence. We are
going to make the policy of appropriations by the City
Council for pnble schools question in the next
city election (Which takes place in May next, and
every candidate who does not favor the measure will
be vetoed at the polls.
Yours for the cause of education.

We willingly give place to the following commuDi-
cation Our readers will agree with u.s. that its tone
and spirit not only unobectionabe, but highly
menable:
SHREVEPORT, March 5, 1870.
Mr.. Edttor-As you copied my letter, which was
published in the New Orleans Advocate of February
IL, in your paper of the Sd of this month"; and pub
shed an editorial on the in your issue of the
4th, beg leave to briefly reply.
For an explanation of my views, and also those of
Mr. Conway, the public school question, refer you
to his instructions to the Board of School Directors
of Algiers, La, which published in the New Or
leans Advocate of January y. / think the better
plan is to adjust the difficulty by mutual agreement
between the two races. The public school question,
if properly managed, WILL like all other social Ques
tons, naturally regulate itself The coored people of
this city do not wish to ntrude themselves into the
same schools with the whites but almost unanimously
prefer to attend schools of their own class As soon
as an opportunity shall be offered to them they will
voluntarily flock to public schools attended by their
own class exclusively, and the whites will of course
do the same.
We 1.-THE coored citizens) do dot propose making the
next city election party election but will vote for
any good citizens who will favor the public schools
Respectfully yours,
