Friends New Meeting House.

The purchase Of the old grounds be-
longing to the Friends, on the north
side of the depot, by the railroad for
shops, &C., which, in all probability
will be consummated shortly, if it has
not already taken place, has induced
the committee of Friends, who were
appointed by the Yearly and Quarter
ly Meetings, to look for an eligible
site for a new meeting house. This
has been done and the selection made
the committee having choice of two
plats of ground, each containing ten
lots, which the proprietors of the
Roberts purchase, donate to Friends
for building house of worship. The
best location, in our humble opinion,
is that on 18th and 18th streets, cor
nering on those two streets and 'front.'
ing on Main, and running back to an
alley. The other plat is Immediately
west, and intended to occupy the same
quantity of ground corners on 18th
and 18th streets. This latter site will
necessitate the purchase of two lots in
its rear, to make it the same size of
the one above alluded to. They are
both good situations for a meeting
house, and commodious grounds; but
the one farthest east is decidedly pre-
ferab!e, and will take less grading. If
the Friends meeting house is located,
finally, at either of those two points,
it will be easy Of access by the cars
the Street Railway running past both;
which will be a decided advantage to
those attending Yearly Meeting from
distance and stopping in our city:
besides, Friends will not be annoyed
as they have been heretofore during
their hours of worship, by the noise
of the locomotives puff and whistle,
and the rumbling of the cars. This
consideration alone, should reconcile
ALL the Friends to the contemplated
change; besides, the committee are
getting price for the old grounds

school HOuse-LOcati &c.


took the ground that, IF another
school house was needed, to so to
work and build it; and further, that
we were pleased our School Board had
taken steps to procure lot, &c. Our
opinion has not undergone any
change but, had we known just
WHERE the ground selected was loca-
ted, our endorsement Of the "selec-
ton" by the Board, would have been
accompanied with some objections.
Prior to the erection of the school
house in the First Ward, commit
tee consisting of Messrs G. F. Coffin,
James Elder, Isaac Kinley, and S. r.
Virgins, Who had been appointed for
the purpose by the Board of Visitors,
submitted report, from which we
extract the following recommended
ton:
1--WE respectfully and earnestly
recommend the building during the
present year 1868 of TWO public
school houses, one upon the public
square in the First Ward, and the
other in some suitable location-the
park if it can be used for this pur-
pose-in the Fourth Ward"
We have introduced the above in
order to show that over six years ago,
when the enumeration Of children
within our city was considerably less
than it is now. a school house in the
same Fourth Ward, was then contem-
plated-nay, earnestly recommend
ed"-for erection during that year Of
Grace, 1868. If there was an exigen-
cy existing at that time-more room
needed-surely the demand was only
halls supplied by the beautiful school
building in the First Ward, and the
increase of children since its erection,
calls in still louder tones for the full
| fllment of that committees recon-
mendation. 1t looks that way to us;
and hence, we reiterate the demand Of
the committee, which has been
strengthened by time and the accumu-
lation of children, for another school
house, and that in the Fourth Ward.
The WANT being settled to the COM
mittee's and our own satisfaction,
convenient location, SO as to accom-
modate the greatest number Of pupils,
should next be considered.
TIE four lots purchased we under
stand by the Trustees, arc situated
about central of the square on South
Tenth street, for Which they agree to
pay 5000 each. They are nearly at
the extreme northeastern boundary of
the Fourth Ward, and, Judging from
the unoccupied space on the east and
south, for the accommodation of the
greatest number of scholars in that
Ward, the School board might as we'll
have purchased four lots in Over
mans addition to Richmond, on the
west side of the river, and spent the
difference in the price of the ground
there and where they bought, in the
erection of cheap foot bridge for
the pupils to cross over on!

Haps md Mfsshnps ON the Fourth.
A small boy, son of Ephram Price,
had his face and eyes badly burned
with powder. He had quantity in a
bottle to which he applied a lighted
match, and the bottle exploded. The
boy will, it is thought, very likely
lose one eye, and perhaps both.
Toney Tastic, German, as he was
returning from drive, when near tho
corner of Main and Fifth street, his
horse took fright and in crossing the
street railway track, upset the buggy,
injuring Mr. 7. seriously. The bug
gy was dragged a considerable distance
on its side, but was not materially
injured.
It is with feelings of sadness that
we record the death Of Harry Perkins,
a youth of some sixteen summers, as
among the incidents of Saturday last.
The boy, it seems by the account Civ
en- by his friends, had been for con-
siderable length of time depressed in
spirits, in consequence of being out of
employment Some time ago he went
into the country to work with broth
er-in-law, but remained there only
short time, on account of some i'll
treatment, as he alleged, from his sis
ter. He came home at noon on Sat-
urday, ate his dinner, and remarked
| to his mother that he would take
nap. He went to his room, and was
there about half an hour when his
mother heard his unnatural breath
ing and went to his bedside and found
him in commissions. DR.. Hartman
was sent for, and when he reached the
house the boy was suffering of con-
gestion of the brain, and wholly un-
conscious. Upon bleeding him he
became conscious, and stated to those
present that he had taken two ounces
of laudanuin, and told them where
he had put the bottle. Mr.. Joseph
Jackson being present, found the bot
tie in the place indicated. He also
found some torn pieces Of the label.
which, when put together, read: "Lau
danum-poison. From Ross Bro,
druggists, Richmond, Ind" He re
sisted every effort of the physician to
do anything for his relief, and freely
stated that he wanted to die-that he
was burthen to his mother. and his
sister had not treated him we'll. A
stomach pump was applied, and the
contents thereof removed, but it was
too late-the poison was diffused
throug hout his system, and he began
to sink, until few minutes of six
o'clock in the evening, he breathed
his last. He was conscious of his
condition, and called his mother and
sister to the bedside and embraced
them quite tendcrly and affectionately.
Alonzo Allen, George Stevenson
and George Humphreys got into a
muss with one George Balling, in the
latter's liquor store, on South Marion
street, on the afternoon Of the Fourth.
Allen received fearful blow on his
head by Balling, which brought him
to the ground. He was carried to DR..
McIntire's Office, and the wound dress
ed. He now lies at home in, as We
understand, a critical condition. As
this case will in all probability under
60 legal investigation, we forbear
making any comments at present.

Besides this Inconvenience of ac-

Besides this inconvenience of ac-
cess, these four lots on Tenth, are sit
uated in a basin-a perfect concavity
requiring not less than from FIVE to
six feet fill to place them in proper
position for school house and
grounds. The water privileges, judg-
ing from the exuberant growth of the
willows in the midst of those lots, are
immense; but hardly a sufficient in
ducement, we should think, to make
that point with the Board in deci-
ding on their choice!
1t possibly may be too late to give
an opinion AFTER the Transportation of
a trade, and it may be considered i'm
pertinent, but we venture to assert
that in location, price, and in every
conceivable way this purchase can be
looked at, it appears emphatically to
US like paying too much for the
whistle" We also venture the sug-
gestion that these lots to-day, if offer
ed for sale, would not bring half the
money the Board agreed to pay for
| them!
It mi ght be that in lapse of twen-
ty or thirty years from now, the site
of the Willows on Tenth street,
would be just the thing; but the chill
dren Of this day and generation are to
be provided for. AMI hence the special
attention of our excellent Board are
called to THEIR condition and wants.
What our people do need, is more
school houses conveniently diffused
over the city, costing not to exceed
$1,000 to $4,000 per house, and each
one only large enough to contain from
$50 to 200 pupils. They do not want
mammoth school houses, costing from
twenty to thirty thousand dollars, and
each one having capacity of holding
from 400 to 600 children.
IF no other location could be had
then the one purchased, some excuse
might be offered on behalf of the
Board; but We understand either the
southwest corner of Eighth and Mar
ket, the southeast corner of Ninth
and Market. or the southwest corner
of the same streets, could have been
had at fair rates. Either of which
would be large enough for a school
house of the proper size above indica-
ted. and far more eligible. central, and
satisfactory to the citizens Immediate
ly interested.
We have spoken Of this purchase,
not with view to disparage the eff
cheney of our Trustees, but to point
out where we think they committed a
blunder. We think the Board COM
mitted an error in not having first,
before purchasing the ground, lowed
a special tax for that object as we'll as
for erecting the building. Our i'm
preston was that this had been done;
and the situation of the contemplated
/, school house in the Fourth Ward was
similar to that of the First Ward
building at the time application was
made to the Council for the issue Of
, bonds to assist in It's completion; hence
VIC expressed the hope our Counci
would do the same in this nresenf in
stance as it did in that case. But w
learn not the first step has been taker
towards providing the ways and means
contemplated by law. No prepare
ton has been made for taxing thu
people for this object The Who'll,
thing looks like the personal descrip
ton Shakespeare makes Richard giv'
of himself: brought into the WORLD
