RKSBU URGH AND IT'S
OHHOnT EG

We cannot refrain from calling atten-
ton to the laudable enterprise of the
citizens of Hendrysbnrgh in regard to
their desire to stand second to no vii
lage of their size in the county as to
educational growth. They have just
finished an excellent brick school house
60x40 feet. Thedesign andflnish are ev-
idence OF the well balanced minds of the
directors. The building has two rooms
n'the first floor, with a spacious hall
its entire length, two rooms on the sec
end floor with small central room for
t library, which IS we'll filed with
choice literature, scientific, historical
and religious works Access to the
building is by q well graded walk of
twelve feet wide,i running from the
Main street. Too much praise, we
think, cannot be awarded to the direc-
tors, Messrs. AYick, Carter and James
for the prompt and, efficient manner in.
which they. nave discharged their du-
ties in furnishing the house with choice
furniture, and in the selection, of teach
ers. Mr.. Magendie MurphSs of Coshoc-
ton, the Principal is a yonng man of
commeadabies reputation and high
scholastic attainments. Mr.. David NJ.
Moore, of Hendrysburgh one of the
Assistant teachers stands high in his
social record, and is one of the oldest
and most successful teachers in the
county. Miss Josephine Chapman, of
Morristown, the other Assistant is an
accomplished lady of fcommanding in
fluence, morally, socially and teacher
of experience, having taught in Penn
Syfyaria and Ohio for years. The DJ-
pills are bright, intelligent and Jealous
in their studies ,afiable in their manners
with commendable spirit of emmula-
tion in the pursuit of learning.
The school at EIeHdEysburgh bids
fair to riyal'if not excel, those of larger
towns in the county, where greater and
more varied advantages are enjoyed.

THE HON. JOHN 4. sBLNGHAM

THE HON. JOHN Il. BINGHAM.
For some weeks, our exchanges have
been connecting the name of Hon.
John A. Bingham with some import
ant Foreign Mission under the new ad-
ministration of President Grant. At
first he was to go to Russia to take the
place of Curtin; then, the wise-aeres
discovered that he was ineligible ON ae-
count of having belonged to the Con-
gress, which voted an increase of salary
to that Mission. Be these reports as
they may, we insist that if Mr.. B. is
given any place under the Administra-
ton, it be one which his high standing
and eminent public services in his own
Country entities him to, and not one
where he would be mere non de
script. z
It must be remembered that Mr..
Bingham, during his political and con-
gressionaJ career has not been a mere
''voting machine" in Congress Halls,
negative in thought and action, uncon-
-
cerned save to receive his little 5000
per year, but he has stepped forward
with such men as Thaddeus Stephens
and in advance of the public sentiment
of the country, by his aggressive and
bold strokes has ingrafted into the
written law Of the land, clauses pre-
servative of national unity and nation
al freedom. Mr.. Bingham, during the
last ten years has had q positive influ-
ence in shaping the legislation of the
country. He is no ordinary observer
of the events which have transpired
during these years, and he has studied
with scrupulcus care their bearing upon
the future of America and through her
on the civilized world. A man of wide
observation and scholastic education,
he would reflect credit as representa-
tive to the greatest power of the old
world. Possessing complete knowl-
edge ofthe people of his own country,
and of the comfy tliatshould exist be-
tween great nations, he has the firm
ness ofcharacter to insist upon inherent
rights, and the courtesy to yield ques-
tion of mere form where no political
importance is attached.
In view of his great public services
and of his, peculiar fitness to represent
US at Foreign Court, we hope that the
President will bestow upon him an i'm
portant and honorable charge.

The history of Boston shows that it
has had fearful fire record. Five
fires. each general confagrations, have
marked her past. and now the sixth has
almost obliterated her present. The
first occurred in 1864, but no record re-
mains of it but the hearsay of "The
Great Fire. The second was in No
yember, 1876, which destroyed forty
six dwellings, a church and other build
ings. This, too, when 1850 families
comprised the place. Three years af-
ter, in 1879, the. third came, which
swept away eighty dwellings and sew.

mated at s200, 600. The fourth, which
took away the first church built there
