Irresistible Argument

FOR TIE ERECTION OF A NEW
GRAMMAR SCHOOL BUILDING.
Eds. Independent:
An examination of the "a" classes Of
the several ward schools Of our city was
held recently for promotion to the Cram
mar School. Seventy SIX applicants put
in their appearance, OF which numoer
sixty eight passed SO large per centage
of successful candidates reflects much
credit upon the ward schools showing
that good work has been done in them.
II must be borne in mind, however, that
among these there is diversity of capac-
ity. Scholarship disposition, character
&c. Besides, these coming from four
different schools, and bling prepared by
methods not always entirely uniform, it is
not an easy matter to shape this material
terial properly upon their entrance into
the Grammar School The position of
this teacher is most lrying lat least tor
time) and she does nor always get the
credit due her.
But the question stares the Board OF
Education land the community in the
face: What is to be done with the sixty
eight pupils, or perhaps, by outside ac-
cessions, increased to seventy-fve? There
is at present only one teacher for this
class, and her room accommodates scarce
ly one-half this number. There is no
other room in the building fit or sufficient
to accommodate the balance without
crowding them, to the detriment of disci-
pine and health. And, then, the number
to be transferred annually will not grow
any less in the future Necessity may
compel the doing Of I at which the vote
of the people refused to do several years
ago.

Falling Waters.

There is talk OF raising company for
the purpose of putting small excursion
steamboat on the river, at this place, for
the accommodation of picnic parties,
fishing parties, &c. 1t would pay hand
somely.
Several fishing parties have been out
here recently; one on Saturday last, made
up of Hon. G f. Evans, member of the
last legislation, W. Santman, Lewis Du-
gan and the Mayor, of your city. They
brought their guns with them, and game
being scarce, the ex-member left his gun
In Mr.. Clarks shoemaker shop. After
catching nice string of bass, and find
ing no game in the evening, the editor
went to the shop to get the gun, when lol
and beaold, the door was locked, and the
proprietor had gone off. The party had
either to go home without the gun or get
the door open. In imitation of the man
who recently visited your town, he took
a piece of wire and opened the lock and
got out the gun. The query is should
officials of the law, sanctioned by law
makers, use such burglarious instruments
to get that which they are seeking for.
The prospects NJ present TOT splenulu
crop of fruit of all kinds this season, is
very bright, and is cause for congratula-
tion among all classes, who felt the seri-
GUS deprivation caused last year by the
almost total failure of the fruit crop The
peaches have escaped material injury, and
will yield abundantly in many localities,
as will also the apple, pear and plum
trees. Small fruits of all kinds promise
favorably. Mr.. Daniel Fleming, who
has fine peach orchard, thinks his crop
will reach at least one hundred and fifty
bushels.
Our people took almost as much inter-
est in the recent Corporation election in
Martinsburg, as did the citizens of the
town themselves. Could we have voted
out here, Mayor Logan would have had
an almost unanimous vote from this Dis
trict.
Capt. Maxell, in addition to running
his Touring mill, is doing large BUSH

The reading portion of this community
have been paying some attention to the
manner in which the Corporation affairs
of your city have been conducted for the
| last year or two, and all agree that the
result of the recent municipal election is
an evidence Of good judgment on the
part of your citizens
We have heard the names of quite q
| number mentioned in connection with
legislative honors, some OF whom will not
| attain the homo, very soon; but ii is well
enough to make them feel well for the
time being by the mention of their names,
if nothing more There are others who
will no doubt receive consideration; they
are generally, those who imagine that
they have been overlooked by their party,
and therefore have become soreheaded;
they swear destruction upon their old al
legience and are ready to jump aboard
the first boat that happens TO float in their
way, unless the party comes to them in
the depths of humility and makes amends
for their short comings by placing them
in positions compatible with their aspi-
ratioDs When a minister of the gospel
is fully convinced that the doctrines of
it would be credtable to him to sever his
connection with that church, When IA
citizen from honest convictions believes
the principles of party to be detriment-
al to the general good, he should not
support those principles; but man who
becomes dissatisfied after every election,
simply because he has not been the choice
of bis party. does not place proper es-
innate upon true principle and is not the
one to place in any position to serve the
public.
The manufacturing Co., at this place
are buying large quantities of bark;
they are paying SIS for chestnut oak, and
81 for black oak, delivered at their mill.
These figures makes this a much better
market for this community, than either
Martinsburg or North Mountain.
Vegetation is coming on slowly. Corn
is beginning to come up, much of it hsv-
ing lain in the ground month. The
Colorado beetle is making vigorous at
tack upon the tomato plants, and from
present indications, we will be deprived
of that delicious and healthy vegetable
for this season at least.

The result of the municipal election in
Martinsburg caused great rejoicing among

Indeed, the interest manifested seemed to
be as great as it was 10 your city But
this is not strange, 1t was here that he
was born; here he grew from childhood
to youth here stands the house in which
his eyes first saw the light of day, and
here in the burying ground of the little
church on the hill, lies the dust of his
father and mother. All know him and
had the opportunity been offered, would
have given him the unanimous vote OF
this section. We congratulate him.
