Coon REASONING One Of the Po-
lice Jury members imagined that the
"Estray Law presented for their
consideration at the last Meeting Of
the Board, amounted TO cunf,catiun
to the printer and ranger, when in
fact, it would have reduced the advrr-
Using from 60 DAYS To - DAYS. Did
that look selfish lie accuses Us Of
sclfinterest when If he had taken the
trouble to compare the law as il
stands now with That proposed by Us,
he would have seen that the ohirc, OF
1t was TO save cost, aud thereby to
place funds in the treasury ~ the
law now stands wco think il quite
probable Gat no shOwimg'cln be made
OF any revenue derived from the sale
Of cstrays. This correspondent from
Ward |, cannot substantive his
charges and fcaSons for nJn-ac,ion in

ken in cur intention of scltin;crcst as
he was in the article Of last week,

yOur own inclinaiions.
We have heard the members say
it would be taken as a favor if those
interested would assist then in lcgis-
iatIng for the parish by olr.ring sug-
gcstions, &c, but if a suggestion is
pade the party making it. is accused
of presumption and that it Is a rrfcc-
ton on the Police Jury. When our
friend from Ward 1 proves that it cost
more to keep u horse at . cents per
day for GO days than it does to keep
him lSG days Ohe shortest time bv

A Young GirI's Terrible Fate.

A sIcKrNIna sIdHT IN RUTzrowN-DURNED TO A
CRISP WITH COAL ou.-TBE OLD STORY OF CARE
LEsssEss TOLD AGAIN.
shocking and horrible coal oil accident took
place in Kutztown, Berks county, Pa, on Satur-
day, by which young girl was burned to death.
The victim was Elizabeth Jane Folk, aged four
years, hired girl at the bakery OF Charles Auer,
and it is there that tho horrible accident took
place.
Miss Folk arose az usual to make the fire.
The wood did not burn AS briskly she desired,
and she resorted to coal oil to help on the
flames. She took the can, and while the wood
was slowly burning, she commenced pouring on
the oil. Ii ignited in the can, and the can OK
ploded in her hands with report that was
heard easily at distance OF two squares.
The burning oil was thrown partly on her
clothes, and che was instantly in ono blaze
of flame, and DO ono with her in the
room. She ran down stairs Gas 1t was IN the
second story of the back part OF the building
into the entry or hall, thence to the store-room
where she ran out OF the house OH the pavement.
Men, who had heard the report OF the exploded
can and the girls screams, had rushed to the
spot by that time, caught her, and as soon az
cred the flames although when that was done
only little rags Of her clothing remained. She
was roasted black all over from head to foot
Her feet were not much injured on account OF
the Shoes. but her hair WAS all burned almost to
the skin.
While she was lying on her bed and the ply
siciap WAS busy wrapping wet strips of muslin
around her body and limbs, she spoke intelli-
gently, asking whether they supposed she would
ever recover. On being informed that it was
doubtful whether she WAS not going to meet one
OF her female friends and best acquaintances,
she folded her hands and repeated aloud the
Lords prayer, and number of other short
PRAYERS and verses.

Education In Sussex.

NEdLEAM OF PRoaREss-coNsoLIDATIoN OF THE
sEAFoRD DIsTRIcTs, AND PURoHAsK OF SITE
FOR SCHOOL BUILDING.
At the recent session of the: Legislature q law
was. passed uniting the four school districts OF
Seaford iuto one for the purpose Of the better
government of the schools and to have them
properly graded. At the school election on the
first Saturday in April, board Of commissioners
favorable to this change was elected, and at the
same time, besides the tax enjoined to be raised
by the new school law, an additional tax was vo-
ted for and levied to enable the commissioners
To purchase a site and erect q school house for
the consolidated districts.
The Commissioners have purchased from the
ialrgrove estate four acres of land, beautifully
located. for $500. per acre, upon which new
school house ia to be erected, and it is intended
to be ready for use by the commencement OF the
winter term. The new school building will be
two stories high and contain six rooms suitable
Tor the various grades of scholars The extern
sive lot will be laid out into walks, parks and
fairgrounds and when finished will no doubt be
the largest public school house and the most ex-
tensive and best laid out play ground in the
State, South Of Wilmington.
This evidence OF an increasing interest in edu-
cstlonal matters in Sussex, following no soon as
u does the depressing representations OF the
State Superintendent. is refreshing and en-
ceonrages us to hope that the people of lower
Delaware are awakening to realization OF their
educational necessities.
