THEY VoTED.-The followed is clipped
from a Roseburg (Or.) exchange, and
shows that the ladies of that town take due
interest in school matters: Last Monday
eighteen ladies of Roseburg, availing them
selves of their rights as voters at a school
meeting, in consequence of age and prop
erty qualifications, went to the district
meeting, manifested much interest, and
about four to one voted to tax themselves
10 build new school-house. Their
womanly intuition prompted them to thus
burden themselves for the good of the COM
munity as well as themselves. They per-
ceived that the present house is most dan
gerous by reason of age, having been built
about thirty years ago, and no longer as
sumes perpendicular attitude; but is in
adequate to the requirements of the dis
trict, for want of room and proper ventila-
tion and that repairs on such building is
money expended without relative benefit:
therefore they voted almost to man " to
tax themselves to build house in which
their loved ones would be safe while pur-
suing their studies and the mother free
from alarm when the winds blow. Women
won't vote, Ell? Well then give them a
chance once, and when their interests are
concerned they will show you, and on the
right side, too, and don't you forget it.
