Saved From the Sea.

The passengers of the steamship
Danmark are all saved. A short notice
OF the abandonment at sea Of the above
named vessel appeared in our last issue.
Great fears Of the safety OF the passen.
gers and crew were felt in this as we'll
~ in European countries. Some OF the
passengers belonged in this country,
and many Of them had relatives here.
These facts were the cause Of much
solicitude felt here in reference to the
fate OF those who had been aboard the
doomed vessel. The vessel was found
about eight hundred miles from New.
foundland by the steamship Missouri. in
disabled condition, from the breaking
Of her propeller shaft. The Missouri
took her in tow during two days, but
the condition Of the Danmark compelled
those in charge OF the Missouri to
abandon her. But they rescued her
living cargo, consisting OF 600 passengers
and the crew of the disabled vessel.
The engineer Of the Danmark was
found dead in the engine.room just after
the accident. His sdeath had been caused
by the bursting Of engine pipe. The
bursting OF the pipe had also caused
great damage to the vessel, and together
with the broken shaft compelled those
in charge to abandon her. It brings a
sense OF relief to all, to know of the
safety of the passengers and crew, but
it will bring joy to the hearts of those
who know Of the safety Of their friends.

What Was III

The West End was in state OF fever
ish excitement last Saturday evening
week ago. The sun had gone down be-
hind the western horizon. The sabel
curtains Of night had encircled the
quiet village, the whistle announcing
that darkness would be dispelled-on
the streets Of Hillsboro at least-by the
electric light had sounded. The lights
had been burning but short time when
tall, commanding and highly orna-
mented parsonage was observed moving
along the pavement Of one Of our streets
in majestic manner, bringing conster-
nation and abject fear to the unprotected
urchins who were roaming in that vicini-
ty on that evening. Nay, older eyes
looked over gold.rimmed spectacles, and
with bated breath wondered what the
aspiration could mean. Thoughts Of
knight Errants on missions Of relief,
where courage and valor were necessary
in the individual, passed through some
minds. Thoughts Of the Gather Of His
Country" in full uniform, accoutred in
the sword of Bunker Hill, having risen
to attend the centennial Of his ownin-
auguration passed through other minds.
The true solution of the mysterious ap-
pearance is yet wrapped with more or
less missgiving in some minds, although
the cooler heads OF the West End tried
to discover what it was the same even
ing by sending for the officers. But be-
fore the arrival Of the protectors Of the
peace the aspiration had fled, and like
the report Of some cases on the Clerk Of
Courts books, without record.

New Market Board OF Education.
NEW MARKET, April 18th, 1885,.

New MARKET, April 18th, 1885,.
Last Monday, April 18th, was the day
for the annual meeting of the Board of
The Board settled with the
treasurer, and found on hands balance
Of $64O. A great many bills were allowed
and few rejected. Business went on
quietly without any hot words until it
came to fixing the levy for running the.
schools for the coming year. The levy
heretofore has been $24O to each sub
district. Those of the Board who were
in favor of the advancement of educa-
ton desired to raise it to $500, or at least
to leave it as it had been. But major
ity of the Board seemed not to care
whether School keeps or not" and
who claimed that S25 per month was
enough for any teacher, voted to put it
down to $500 for each sub-district. At
this point some hot words were expressed
on each side, both members and specta-
tors taking part in the discussion. II
was claimed by some districts that they
had already hired their teachers for $35
to $37! per month, and. 1t was not
enough to run six months school.
The reply to those was that they could
have six months school and pay their
teacher what they pleased-independent
OF what the Board levies. The Board
only has the power to say whether they
can have nine months or six months
school. The law says, "they shall levy
enough to carry on six months school
and can levy enough to run nine
MONTHS" and If any desires nine
months school they can. give notes to
the Commissioners for a,revision OF ap.
pointment. But, says ono who weuld
cut the wages Of teacher, we pay the
taxes and those who would keep them
up have no taxes to pay, which ID NOT
true, but If it were ttae who has more
right to complain than the poor man
The poor man, with US, can say to hi
child, If I have nothing else to leave yo,
! can give you the advantage ola school
whereby you can obtain an education
We would refer to the ordinance ofil7S
religion, mortality and knowledge
being essential to good government
should be forever encouraged" Nov
we have men in the Board who hav'
openly denounced education, who hav
said that Education was curse" Ar
such men fit for society and the advance
ment OF morality and religion ? nc
saying anything about being a membe
of the Board of Education.
Let the people wake up to their foil
and elect men TO the Board who hav
an interest in the schools and the &C
vancement of society, and who will lev
money enough to obtain the best G
teachers and run nine months schot
in each district in New Market towl
ship, even If some poor mans chill
does get an education.

Prssb,terial Convention.

Mr.. EDITOR Your readers may be
interested to know something about our
Annual Presbyterial Convention, which
met at cambridge, Ohio, April 18th.
There were seventy delegates present,
Mrs. Joshua Woodrow, Mrs. r. s. Quinn
and Mrs. J. Med. Stockton representing
Hillsboro. All.of the officers with one
or two exceptions, and a number Of
others were of the party, which journey
ed to this Mecca Of Presbyterian expec.
tations. Arriving there we were met
by committees and assigned to our
places. The session of the convention
was profitable and interesting. We had
with us Rev. John Wright and wife,
who was native Persian, and Mrs. M.
E. Caldwell, of Bogats. During the
session Of the convention they added
much to its interest, and told us Of the
hopeful outlook in both fields of labor.
This hope will be to us an incentive to
greater activity to work for the Master.
Living in this nineteenth century in
the full light of Christian civilization
and intellectual liberty, we do not fully
appreciate our superior advantages only
by comparison as we hear from eye wit.
nesses how the people Of earth live.
And at once the query, what makes the
difference? BY nature we are not any
better than they are. But Paul answers
for us, "By the grace Of God an, what
I am"
The session Of the convention was a
pleasant one. Mr.. and Mrs. Wright told
us much about the manners and Gus
toms of the Persians. In those eastern
countries they marry early, and the
parents choose the bride. Their decis-
ion is final, and preparations for the
event is at once begun. The intended
bride works piece OF handsome EN-.
broidery and drawn work, and this is
sent to the groom, who Is to inspect it
and determine whether the lady will
make good wife. After going through
much ceremony, a procession marches
with banners flying to the groom's
house, the bride wearing three wells.
He is standing on the roof OF the house,
as they are flat, with three apples in his
hand. He throws one, and il he hits
the bride in the center OF her forehead,
he will make good husband. If he
fails at first, he throws until he hits the
forehead. This rule tried in our coun.
try would include large class OF fail
ures. The fields are white unto the
harvest, and we have only to use the
sickle OF truth with Gods blessing t
gather rich grain into Gods garner
We were handsomely entertained b.
the citizens Of cambridge, and hav,
added another chapter to memory

when our thoughts travel backward owe

joyment. J. Mod. 8.
