Correspondence OF the Richmond Di5p2tch.J
SCHOOL BUII.DINGs-WATBR-w oRKS-DRAHATIC.
STANTON, VA, February Is, 1876.
The City Council held its regular meeting
last night. The most important business be-
fore it was proposition from the trustees of
the old Wesleyan Female Institute to sell
the building on Main street to the city for
$1,000. The building is now rented by the
Public School Board for $500 per annum.
1t was formerly occupied as the Baptist Fe'
male Institute, of which Rev. DR.. Hart was
president. The objection to the purchase by
the city is that it is too much building in one
place, and it would pay better and be more
convenient to the public uses to erect two
or three smaller dwellings at different points.
The matter was laid over.
Our water-Works, like all water.Works, are
destined to be wraugled over. The con-
tractors, Messrs. Menifee & Jordan, have not
connected the new works with the old pipes
in six months from commencing The work as
called for in the contract, ana now the
"wbose fault is it?" Is being discussed IN the
Council. The contractors contend that they
were delayed by the City Engineer, and ne
says not.

A BRAVE Acr.-A Tiverton correspond
ent of the Fall River Nevs sends the fol-
lowing:
Captain Joseph Monroe, with his wife and
babe, started from Tlverton to cross the
river to Rhode Island last Wednesday, and
in passing through Bridgeport with strong
ebb.tide the keel OF his boat came in contact
with line attached to the schooner Ante
lope, and the boat was capsized. The babe
sank and his wife became unconscious.
Monroe dove down and rescued the babe,
and IS he came to the surface found his wife
lust under water and sinking. He seized
her, and, unaided, swan ashore with babe
and wife, and landed over 200 feet from
where the boat capsized. The babe was ap-
parentIy dead, for it was under water from
the time the boat capsized until its father
landed it on the shore, but it soon revived.
Monroe's achievement is spoken of in the
highest terms, and when we consider the
GOODNESS of the water, and the swiftness and
turbulence of the tide, it seems almost a
miracle that he succeeded in saving himself,
wife, and child. Naturally enough, when
the mother came to herself she cried,
" Where is my baby!"

IoUIsIANA-THR THREATENED IMPEACH-
MENT OF THE GOVERNOR AND TREASURER AP.
PRoAcHING.. Special telegram to the National
Republican, -Ne,o Orleans, February 15.--
The threatened impeachment move was
sprung in the House 10. day by report signed
by two Bourbon members, Aldridge and
VOORHEES,, who had been appointed on a
committee to Investigate the accounts Of the
Treasurer. They reported in substance that
just after the riots Of September, 1874, when
the collection of the city taxes was sus-
pended, and the police, months in arrears
with their pay, threatened to disband,
the fiscal agent Of the State, Mr.. Oyles.
by, who was also the fiscal agent of the
police, having in his possession a large
amount Of State money for which there was
no immediate use, and there being at the
time considerable sum due the police by the
State for services as militia, applied q por.
ton Of the States money to the temporary
relief Of the police, with the consent of the
Governor and Treasurer, taking lien upon
all the uncolleeted police-taxes for the re-
payment of the loan, which was soon
afterwards accomplished without the risk
or loss of dollar to the Suite. Upon
this showing, Aldridge and VOORHEES,
recommended the impeachment of the
Governor and Treasurer. AfdtidSe is one

resolution to employ one hundred special

A THRILLING SCENE OF THE LATE SToEI.-
We learn from private letter the particulars
Of thrilling scene which occurred in the late
storm in Bedford. Mr.. Owen. Watson resides
near EbeneZer church, in a valley of the
Blue Ridge, in an humble home of bis own
construction. The wind blew all the fire
from the fireplace, setting the floor and
walls in a flame, which threatened the de-
struction of the building and contents.
Watson, whose gallant services under
Stuart and Mosby frequently elected ap.
plause, resolved to put out the fire at any
cost, and his wife, who is as brave as Cesar,
determined to help him. But she no sooner
started to the spring for bucket of water
than she was lifted up "ou the wings of the
wind" and blown distance of fifty yards,
finally stopping against stone.fence, bleed
ing, bruised, and unconscious. When found
by her husband, who had succeeded in pat
ting out the fire and saving the house, she
was thought to be dying, but finally rallied
and is now entirely out of danger.
Mr.. Fatson'S house is so badly burned as
to be hardly tenable, and much Of his turnl'
ture is badly damaged. His loss by the de-
struction Of timber, out-houSes, and fences
is very considerable. His wife ayers that she
never touched the ground from the time OF
leaving the door until the stone-fence stop
ped her, and her escape from instant death 4
little less than miraculous. To add to the
horrors of the storm it must be remembered
that trees, rails, boards, and shingles lite
rally filled the air, and that there was imm
nent danger of being crushed to death BY
them. The children, several in number, re-
NAMED terror-stricken in the house until the
almost superhuman efforts Of Mr.. Watson to
pat out the flames were rewarded with sue
cess. 1t was such an experience as can
never be forgotten by any of the family
while they liye.-Lynchburg Neeos, 10Th.

| the Hon. james Spriggs Payne was Ina.
rated PRECEDENT OF Liberia, at Monro7ia,
Monday. January3. Mr.. Payne was born
| In Richmond, Va, In 1920, and was taken 10

active duties Of the Methodist Episcopal
mission in that Republic, and from 184S to
1858 as presiding elder. The present is bis
second term of two years In the presidential
office of bis adopted country.
The annual message Of bis iliustrious pre-.
decessor, Mr. Roberts, which bears Date De-
cember II, 1875, is mostly taken up with a
presentation of native affairs and difficulties.
It reports that not only Is Cape Paimas
guarded by the Government cutter Emory,
| but it Is occupied "by 200 men-thst is, 100
| from the First regiment, and fifty from the
Second and Third respectiyeIy-until such
time as the Government can procure the
Snidef OF: other improved arms, or the Legis-
lature shall take such action in the premises
as they IN their judgment may deem best"
1t is also stated that the < natives continue
ever and anon to fire upon, attack, or in
other ways to annoy the settlements, but
they are invariably repulsed." And it is re.
marked that "there are many and weighty
reasons why CHS war should be prosecuted
to successful. issue by the Republic"
President Roberts mentions that be is ex.
pecting zone of the sbips.ofwar OF the
Government Of tae United States to proceed
to Cape Palmas." and observes "that this
manifestation of friendship toward as by a
nation to whom We are so peculiarly allied is
very gratifying.". t Fl. &D.,s n,>r.4

ters, and duly reaching England, be remained
there until be took passage " for home" ar.
irving on the Both Of November. but he has
srnot fully realized restoration to health,"
nor does he find himself " improved in this
respect" as he would like.
The message states that "nothing has
transpired within the year to impair the
friendly relations between this and other ma
tions," and &c in the abundance Of the har.
vests which has attended the labors Of the
agricuIturists, and in the success experienced
by those engaged in commercial, mechani-
cal, or other pursuits, we cannot fail to ac-
knowledge the goodness of God."- Wash.
