WHAT SCHOOLS DO FOR CITY.-There is no
telling the amount of material prosperity good
schools bring to city. In the last three weeks
three gentlemen of the country have bought res
licences in Staunton, with view of being near
er to the schools for the education of their chill
dren. Onepaid $50. 500, another 81, 600. and an
other $4,000 This looks like schools are
worth having, in business point of view and
appeals strongly to Lynchburgers to extend a
liberal support to own admirably conducted
schools. With such support they would be equal
to any in the State. Our people do their city an
injury in sending their daughters away to be ed
ucated -Iuncbbur0 ReDubLicGT

There were seven passengers inside and three
outside, rome of whom were seriously hurt. The
accident was caused by the breaking down of
one of the hind wheels, while the vehicle was
running around sharp curve. beneath very
heavy load. The passengers remained on the
spot until the driver went back to Lexington and
secured another stage coach, which was not &C.
complished until after daylight next morning,
when they drove off again and made connection
with the two O clock freight train at Goshen
