A TTENTION TRUSTEES!

"A The attention of the Board of School
Trustees of the County. is called to The 44th and
46th Sections of the School. The first makes it a
condition of the Districts receiving any State
funds, that it make provisions for school houses,
furniture, textbooks for ndigent children, Sc.
Almost every neighborhood has school house
which will answer for the present, but most of
them are without desks and no provision has been
made for textbooks for the INDECENT.
The 10th Section imposes another condition,
that written statement, signed by the chairman
and clerk of the board, shall b. filed with the
County Superintendent, stating that the school
has been kept in operation five months, or pro-
vision has been made to that effect. This was
modified by subsequent act leaving it eiscre-
tionary with the State Board for The present scho
lastic year to allow pay for shorter term which
said Board has fixed at three months.
The Districts are liable for another small as
sessment, viz: the pay OF the clerk of district
boards, particularly for taking the census of the
children of the township.
The law requires notice of the election in these
questions to be posted at least ten days before
the election, at the voting places in the distric

On Friday night last, kerosene lamp
in the house of colored family named
Jones, on the Brightwell farm, near Bla-
densburg, Nd, exploded and set fire to a
bed in which were two children. One OF
the little ones was burned to death, and
the other SO severely injured that its life
is despaircd Of The father of the chill
dren ran in, and throwing the bed out
of the window it fell on his wife, and her
clothes taking fire, she, too, was badly
burned. The injured child can hardly sur
vive, as one ear is burned of, and the
bones are laid bare on one side of the
face.

Valley Mining and Manufacturing Co,

Judge Turner, of the Rockingham Cir
cult, has granted charter for the organiza-
ton OF the above company, and the follow
ing gentlemen compose the company: JOS.
D. Price, President; W. S. Lurty, Treasur-
er; W. II. Efinger, Secretary; John W.
Boone, Geo. K. Bingham, W. G. Price and
John G. Woodson, Directors
Some time sirce, J. D. Price and 3. Skunk
in prospecting through North Mountain, dis
covered an immense bed of what is known as
"specular Ores" out of which is manufacture
ed very fine metallic paint of different shades
and colors. The deposit lies about 10 miles
west of Harrisonburg, and has been leased
for term of years by this company. We
understand that Mr.. VIM. N~asche, living in
iiarrlsonburg, painted his house with paint
manufactured out Of this ore, and that it an
swered the purpose as we'll as the paints Or
dered from distance It is the purpose of
the company to go to work at once and ope-
rate this mino extensively, and to develop the
deposit to<their fullest capacity.
We are glad to chronicle this evidence Of
enterprise on the part of our friends in Rock
ingham, and have no doubt it will prove a
profitable and successful undertaking. The
President of the company, J. D. Price, Esq,
is gentleman of great energy, considerable
experience in matters of this kind and will
push the enterprise to successful conclusion
He first brought into notice, what is now be-
coming business of notoriety, the Iceland
Spar deposit, near Timberville, Rockingham
county, induced capital at the North to in
vest in if, and the mines are now being work
ed to great advantage. These are encourag-
ing signs for our great Valley. Unlimited
wealth lies hidden in our mountains and Val
leys, and all that IS wanting is capital and en-
terpriso to develop it. The Inauguration of
schemes looking to that end will insure others,
and the results cannot fail to be a source of
prosperity to our section

No Imperialism.

The New York SUI, says that Holden, the
lately deposed Governor of Moth Carolina,
is said to have expressed the most earnest
desire that President Grant might be made
Emperor, with the right Of succession to his
son, the present ruler of the West Point
Academy. Not long after this wish was ut
tered Holden was impeached, convicted Of
high crimes and misdemeanors, and turned
out Of Office as Governor. This shows that
in his case imperialist sentiments were no
protection against popular justice.
Congress has passed what is known ss the
Ku-Klux Force bill, which confers upon
President Grant authority more than impe-
rial, enabling him to control the elections in
half the Union by military power, and to
make himself President in 1872 contrary to
the will Of the people. Will he dare to ex-
else this prerogative? IF he does, he will
find that popular justice will treat him and
his imperialist ASPIRATIONS quite as rudcly as
it has now treated Governor Holden.

THE BENEFITS OF MANUFACTURES.


The following statement taken from Mis-
souri, paper, speaks volumes. 1t shows, too,
how the people Of that progressive State
take hold Of enterprises which have for their
object the enrichment of individuals and the
promotion of the general prosperity of the
country. We have made similar estimates
Of the benefits which would flow to. our own
people, were they to take hold Of theseagent
Of material wealth, aud push them to sue
cessful fruition. We have far greater natu-
raj advantages than those possessed by the
citizens of Lagrange. Our mineral depos-
its are more diversified and the demand for
manufactured articles more extensive by rea-
son Of the wider range Of market We must
encourage the mechanic arts, if We expect to
lay the foundation of permanent substantial
growth and prosperity. With an increase
to our population Ct $500 at one swoop, and
the distribution among our people Of $500
900 annually, the basis of a progressive aflu-
ence would be laid deep and strong. The
Lagrange American says
''The contract has been signed by ?. c.
Briuck, Esq, Of Philadelphia, President OF
the United States Iron Company, by which
that company agree with the city authorities
of Lagrange, to erect and maintain in that ci-
ty, rolling mill Of $4,000 tons capacity,
annually, and to cost not less than 100000,
to employ not lcss than million dollars
capital, and to be in running order
within two years from the date of the con-
tract To obtain this, the city of Lagrange
furnishes the ground and denotes $4,000
to tho company. The advantages to be de-
rived from such an enterprise can be easily
computed in dollars and cents. This will
give employment to five hundred men, to
whom will be paid $4,000 per month in
wages, making the sum of $4,000 in cash,
annually, nearly every dollar of which will
be expended in Lagrange. These five hun
dred men will nearly all be men of families,
and will require houses to live in which will
have to be erected by Lagrange mechanics. -
1t is fair to calculate FIVE persons to every
laborer, which will be an increase to the pop
ulation of Lagrange Of $4,000 souls, double
the present population of that city. Let
other towns and cities in the State make a
note Of this"

Sioux and Arrapahoos, and are on their
way to the Arkansas river, hunting.
