SCHOOL BUILDING &.

We publish in this issue the action
of the town council, ordering an cleo
ton to he held on the oath of July in
reference to borrowing $1,000 for the
purpose of erecting suitable buildings
for the accommodation of the schools in
Woodstock.
We are glad to see that the council
are determined that, if our children are
denied the facilities for securing an
education, the responsibility shall not
lest upon them. The interest mani-
tested in this subject by many of our
citizens who have no children to edu,.
cate is really encouraging. They are
disposed to contribute to the general
prosperity of the entire community and
especially tothe welfare OF the children
OF the town, who, in few years, must
enter upon the active duties of life
whether they are allowed or denied the
facilities necessary to secure an educa-
ton That certain portions of com
munity should oppose every enterprise
which, they think, would increase the
taxes, is what general knowledge Of
communities would teach us to expect
But that persons who have enjoyed
the benefits Of opportunities for them
selves, and have made use of those OPP
portunities and whose usefulness in life
has been greatly enhanced by their
education, should oppose extending the
necessary facilities to our children Is
calculated to create feeling ofsurprise
We have few men in our town who
are always ready to do their duty, who
have heretofore, contributed to the
building up of schools in our midst,
appreciate the value of an education
and have given of their own funds to
to educate children in foreign lands,
and yet in this measure which is nee
essary to build up good school in our
midst, have thrown their influence with
those who are opposed to it. We ask
these men to calmly consider the ques
tfUr presented md decide -whothnr
they will be the instruments Of deny-
ing to the children of our town the
facilities which they have aided to ex>
tend to the children of heather lands.
We have shown in former issue that
neglecting to provide proper buildings
would cause the town to lose more
than the entire cost, that the erection
of the buildings would not increase the
present rate of taxation, that the build
ing which we now use is not suited to
the purpose. is not paid for, and that
it will be necessary either to borrow
the money or increase taxation to pay
the debt and repair it.
We cannot believe that those who
oppose these buildings would be will
ing for the council to spend upon the
present building the necessary amount.
There is but one other course, and that
is the suspension of the school, and the
education of the children of the wealth~
Ter portion Of our community at private
schools, and those of parents not able
to bear the expense to be denied the
mems of securing an education. AS
the law requires vote of two thirds of
the property holders, it is evident that
none can remain neutral. A refusal to
vote has the same effect as voting
against the proposition. 1t is there
fore important that every ore, who has
a vote, and is in favor of the enterprise,
should be present at the polls and vote
for the measure.

Steamboat Disaster near Norfolk, Va.
LURAY, Va, July 9th, 1875.

Steamboat Disaster near Norfolk, Va.
AN EXCURSION STEAMER RUN DOWN BY
A STEAMSHIP TEN PERSONS DROWNED.
NORFOLK, VA, July 6.-The steam
tug Lumberman, while returning last
night from Fortress Monroe with a
pleasure party of eighteen on board,
was run into off Sewells Point by the
steamer Isaac Bell, from Norfolk for
New York, and sunk Immediately in
fifty feet water. Boats were lowered
from the Bell and several of the sur
vlvors picked up. The following is a
list of the lost: Mrs. Elizabeth
Hudgins, widow lady, and her color
ed servant, George Wilson; Mrs, Jesse
Fredereci, Mrs. q. w. Baker, Capt
Edward Cook, James G Brown, Harry
Borum, of Norfolk, Miss NJ. Borum, of
Mathews county, and the engineer of
the Lumberman, was struck on the
head and severely injured by the wheel
of the Bell, but had strength enough
left to rescue his wife, who had to
crawl through the window of the pilot
house to avoid being carried down by
the fast sinking boat. Mrs Brown
was seriously injured internally, and it
is feared she will Knot survive. Boats
have been sent down to day for the
bodies.
Later.-The sinking ofthe tug Lum
herman last night has created a pro
found sensation here. Various rumors
are ahoat as to who was to blame, but
no definite conclusion can be arrived at
until an, official investigation takes
place. Ten men were drowned and
only three bodies have been recovered
Two of these, Joseph Wilson and Miss
Borum, were found near Fortress Mon,
roe, nearly two miles from the scene of
the disaster The body of Miss
Fredereci was found near Sewell's
Point. A section of the Norfolk Light
Artillery Blues have to-day been firing
twelve pound guns about the spot
where the bodies are supposed to be ly-
ing.

The military and political situation
in Spain is reviewed in leading arti~
Gle of the London Times in which only
gloomy conclusions are reached as to
the Alfonsist cause 1t says that all
the bright hopes that Alfonso brought
to Spain have vanished; that his best
generals are less active than heretofore
and have met defeat instead of victory.
The king has not been more successful
in Madrid; he has failed to satisfy the
church, has enraged the liberals, and
there are no funds to pay the army or
navy. His main bulwark is that
glorious institution the press, but it
is muzzled press, so that it cannot be
disloyal. In the meantime the Carlists
are making important movements which
the Times interprets into an appearance
of an early forward march, but dis
patch comes now from Madrid that
Gen. Dorregary, with fourteen battal
ions, comprising almost the entire
Carlist force i'll Valencia and Arragon,
has made retrograde movement by
which four provinces are relieved from
Carlist presence and pressure. Still
later advices state that Dorregary has
met with a repulse, which has turned
him IN his retreat towards the Sierra
Gueva, the Altonsists in close pursuit
Gen. Jovellar also announces officially
the capture of Canta Vieja, with its
artillery and garrison OF 1900 men.

RECOVERY OF STOLEN MoNEY.--Some
weeks since a young man named
Arthur E. Gait, clerk in the Lynch
burg (Va.) National Bank, ran away
from that city, taking with him $4,000
of the banks money. A few days
since the officers of the bank received
letter signed IN. II. Morgan" and
dated Yosemite Valley, Cal, enclos-
ing acknowledgement of money de.
posted with Vermillyer g Co., ban
kers, New York The Lynchburg
Bank at once sent an agent to New
York, and being convinced that M. II.
Morgan" was the missing clerk, Gait,
the New York bankers at once paid
over the amount on deposit, $500.
The supposition is that Gait, having
deposited the money in an assumed
name was unable to get it out again
and that he made virtue Of necessity
and reported it SO that it might be re-
turned to the bank. While in New
York, the bankers, agent heard that
Galt had left trunk at Montreal. He
proceeded there, and opening it found
l,600 in money. Gait is still at large.

A nartv of BURGLARS cantur,

A party Of burglars captured the
cashier of the Barre (Vt.) Nation Bank
and his wife and daughter, Tuesday
night, in their beds, and after securing
them made them march to the bank TO
open the vault. But the vault had a
lock which was arranged so that it
could not be opened until 8 o'clock A.
NJ, and the burglars were foiled. They
got away with some little booty picked
up, outside, and the cashier soon after
escaped and gave the alarm.

There Is No Death.

There is no death The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
Ihey shine forevermoro.
There is no death The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer showers
The golden grain, or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow-tintsd flowers.
e The granite rocks diserganizc,
And feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest trees drink daily life
From out the yiewlccs air.
There is no death The leaves may fall,
And flowers may fade and pass away;
They only wait through wintry hours
The coming of May day.
There is no death An angel form
walks DER the earth with silent tread
And bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them :" dead
lie leaves our hearts all desolate,
lie plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss. they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird like voice. whose joyous tones
Make glad these scenes of sin and strife,
Now sings an everlasting song
Around the tree of life.
Where'er be sees smile too bright.
or heart too pure for taint and vice,
lie bears IL to that world of light
To dwell in Paradise.
Born unto that undying life,
They leave US but to come again
With JOY We welcome them the same,
Except their sin and pain.
And ever near us, though unseen,

For all the boundless universe
Is life-there are no dcddl
