The RESULT OF THE SPECIAL SCHOOL
ELEcTIoN.-The result of the special
school election yesterday was adverse TO
the proposal to build an edifice of educa-
ton in Phoebe. 1--WE have no school
house here that conld be called such,
though the scholastic population num-
bers over 300.) We hop, cotemporaries
abroad will not too severely criticize the
action OF our citizens in this matter;
they would, as community, rather sup
port schools than jails and penitentiaries;
they are not altogether dead to moral OBJ
legations as individuals, and moral duties
as citizens; they recognize in theory the
principle that the rich mans property
should contribute q trifle towards edu-
eating the poor mans son, who will
be looked to to protect that property, if
necessary, on the field of battle; they
would rather see families of respectfully
come and settle in Phoebe, than to drive
them away to seek homes where educa-
tional facilities are more liberal and ad-
equate. In short, we DO not believe,
as the result of yesterdays election
might lead those abroad to conclude,
that the majority of the citizens of
Phoebe are enlisted on the side of sin,
iniauity and the devil. Many gentlemen
here whose families are residing else
where will now know exactly what to do
they will let their families stay where
they are.
A New MANAGER.--Next Monday
morning Mr.. Guy Thorpe, not only well
and favorably known in Phoebe, but
throughout the State, will succeed to the
Managership Of the State Bank, in this
city. Mr.. Wright continues his connec-
ton with the institution as. one Of the
Directors, which will be gratifying infor-
nation to its patrons, who have ever
found him, as Manager, to be reliable,
obliging and competent. Other business
responsibilities prevented Mr.. Wright
continuing longer in the position OF
Manager. We are confident Mr.. Thrope
will receive the same favorable considera-
ton from the public that was accorded
his predecessor.
BENEFIT TO JOHN s. LINpsAY.-On next
Monday, as will be seen by correspond
ence in another column, Mr.. John S.
Lindsay, the popular young actor, will be
the benefciarie of complimentary bene,
fit at the Phoebe theater. The full
strength of the Phoebe dramatic corps
will appear on the occasion, and the bill
presented is lively and interesting. In
arranging his programme, Mr.. Lindsay
seems to have been actuated by single
motive-that the benefit should be mu'
tual to the auditor and himself. With
such programme and the benefit of this
favorits the object of the nights enter
tainment, an overlooking house is fore
gone conclusion.
RETURN OF Hon. THos. WALLACE
We acknowledge friendly call from
Hon. Thomas Wallace, one Of our As
semblymep in the last Legislature. W.
have the disinterested opinion OF thu
Eureka Sentinel for it, that Mr.. Wallac'
was one of the most able and Influential
members. Ever in his seat and wide
awake to the interests OF his constitu
ents, Lincoln county had in him tru,
. and valuable representative. We wei
come him back home, and hope new ant
higher honors await him in the future
