Communicated
Wafer for Church Hill,

Messrs. Editors,-T spring has come,
and with it the increased consumption Of
water in the city. The heightened days,
with warmer weather, greatly enlarges the
use of water, and, added to these, is the
increasing population, all tending to more
and more emDarrass the people Of Church
Hill in respect to this great necessity Of
life. 1t is hard to imagine that our City
Fathers would neglect to furnish to any
portion of their constituents this indispensl-
BILE element of existence, and while we do
not ascribe to them indifference as to our
wants in this matter, we are admonished
that tardy remedies are but inefficient en-
pedients to dying patient.
In our extremity ut season like that ap-
preaching we are reminded of the estimate
In which the poor sick Irishman held ma
lures beverage, when he exclaimed, in re-
lating his suiferings, 1T was near unto
deaths door that | came, when lay sax
long weeks in the month Of August, and all
could say was Wather, wather."
1t is near to a hopeless case, some say,
since we have for six and twenty years re-
lated over and over our tale of sutferings
for water, water. Our houses burn down,
and the cry of fire, fire, is heard, but the
deyouring element ticks up the structure,
and the Outstanding people say What Il
fortunate thing 1t is there Is no WIND stlr-
ring, for we have no water" In the MORN
ing the cook and washerwoman are busy
filling up tubs and buckets, for the by
drants will soon stop their flow, and the
people would wash and cool their forms
and faces at midday, but the water has
"gone back on them" All say what are
we to do? We asked for water, and the
worthy Council said we should have it; but
Il scientific exploration was called for, and,
10, it is science about this very plain matter
that is killing to us now; aud while we
have slender hope Of thinning our way out
of this trouble through the science Of n.y.
draulics, we shall trust, surely trust, for a
speedy relief at the hands of the Council at
its next meeting, and on this hope zoe found
our appeal. Give the people of Church
Hill ice pray you gentlemen water, as the
greatest boon to them within your reach

The RICHMOND Corn AND FLOUR Ex-
CHANGE Ne1r Location COntenpEnted.-
In conversation yesterday with some of the
members Of the Richmond Corn and Flour
Exchange we ascertained that thew are de-
cidedly IN favor of removal from their
present rooms to room which, in CONVEX
sation with Lewis D. Crenshaw, ESQ.,, pro-
prletor of the three new buildings now
going up at the corner of 18th and Cary
streets, they ascertained be was willing to
nj up for the use Of the Exchange over the
lirSt moor OF these buildings, and embracing
their whole superficial area. Mr.. Cren-
shaw, we understand, offers to give the room
ut very reasonable rent. The advantages
to be gained by the change of location are:
increased room, vicinity to the Tobacco
Exchange, the exclusive control over the
room without any interference, light not
only on three sides but from large sky
light and ventilator which MIR. Crenshaw
proposes to construct, and more respect
able appearance in every respect than that
presented by the present room.
When we consider the constantly-increas-
ing magnitude Of the trade in grain in this
city, and the consequent necessity of in
creased accommodation for the transaction
oil the business, and the fact, too, that it is
important to commission merchants who
sell tobacco, as well as grain, to have the
two institutions as near to each other as
possible, we cannot but think that the
members of the Exchange will accept MIR.
Crenshaw's offer. II they do so, we pre-
sumo that the new room, judging from the
present advanced state of the new build
ings, would be ready for occupation on the
opening of the season in July.
. The bringing together in rs close prox-
unity as possible Of such important institu-
tions rs the Corn Exchange and the To-
bacco Exchange seems to us to be of great
Importance as a means of facilitating bust
ness and relieving buyers and sellers from
much Inconvenience.

RICHMOND, April 18th, 1871.
To County Sup'ts Of Schools:
The Legislature has passed an act re-
guiring that notice Of the county vote to
be taken in May should be posted thirty (3O)
days before election day at the courthouse
and at least .one voting place in each town.
ship. There being no time to lose, the
most vigorous measures have been taken to
have the act printed and mailed to the
county superintendent within two days,
and it is earnestly hoped that there will be
no case of failure to get the notices posted
in due time. Ten days notice is all that is
required for district votes, hut the sooner
notice can be given of these the better.
1t is of course the duty of the county SUI
perintendent to post the notices concerning
the county votes, and he should be careful
to embody in the notices statement Of
how the money is to be employed. 1t is
the duty Of the district clerks to post the
notices concerning the district votes, and
these notices also should contain statements
rs to how the money is to be used. On the
ballots nothing more need he written than

the District School Tax" Any one who
wishes to vote against the tax may erase

DIFFERENCES OF RANK.-At the recent
opening of the Royal Albert Hall in
London an incident occurred which Is
strongly commented on by correspondents.
The Princess Louise, then the bride oil. Il
week, was present, but royal etiquette put
asunder her and her husband, the Marquis
of Lorne, and he walked several ranks be-
low her in the cort6ge OF honored guests,
on the dias, stood some distance apart from
her, and when the whole party went to their
boxes could not sit in the same one with
her. Marrying Princess did not make q
man Prince, and although no one seemed
to be troubled aboutit, yet it seems queer
social law that places the husband SO far
below his wife when the eyes of the world
arc upon them.
