A Good WAY to Teach.

The following note was received at this
office last night:
RICHMOND, VA. September %. 1894.
Dear Dispatch.-You take so much in
terest in our public schools. l thought /
would tell you OF very pleasant scene
witnessed in the Capitol building to-
day. A teacher OF Elba School told her
scholars TO write a composition on the
pictures there; so. Notwithstanding the
weather, a bevy Of schoolgirls cages not
exceeding 10 came, with pencil and paper,
to write up their impressions. Among
them l noticed little girl dressed in
red, whose earnest face and honest work
attracted my attention. On learning her
name. / was not surprised at her intel
lect. for she could trace her lineage as
far as the farthest picture there. II
seemed TO me our teachers were UP with
the spirit OF the times in teaching the
very things our children ought to know
| the history OF our Staten a way they
will always remember. Then we will
have men and women alive to the honor
| of their State, conversant with her past
glory, and determined that that glory
must be preserved. Would that We had
more such teachers.

Mr.. A. F.. Payne, Waterman at the
Orleans-Street station on the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad, last night discovered
two tramps beating their way on a
freight train which had just come In
from Newport News. This was rather
n common occurrence. as they were men.

A Schooner Goes Down on Lalse ontart.
 With All Hands

OswEGo. N. Y. Oct. 12.-A vessel sup- posed to be the Hartford went on the rocks last night near Woodyille, 35 miles east of hero. Early in the morning a three masted vessel, which was made out as the Hartford, passed down the lake The wind was blowing a gale and tre- mondous sea running. When opposite this port, she appeared to have considera- ble difficulty and rolled from side to side It is supposed her rudder was gone.
 The place where tho vessel struck, over @ mile from the shore is considered one of the most dangerous spots along the lake, as the jagged rocks are only covered with a few feet of water. Whom she struck, the wind had increased in vio. lence and the seas were running noun tain high.
 Captain O'Toole of Clayton, the owner and six men were on board. Tho big seas commenced to break the vessel up. and it is reported that the captain and ,entire crew were drowned.
 The Hartford was freighted with corn to Cape Vinront from Detroit. No bodies have been reported to have been recovered

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

If the weather continues favorable un- til the latter part of next week Contractor McMRnus will have completed the work on the South Brooklyn trunk sewer. Over fifty men are employed on the job and were 1t not for a few wet days which caused considerable delay the work would be completed October Is. the time speci- fled in the contract. The digging was easy all the way through. but the ditch was quite deep and caused considerable trouble iu the excsvating and filling in. At the corner of Simon street and Wash ington avenue the men started in at six then foot cutting. At the corner of South Leonard and Porter street, twenty foot cut was found necessary. At the corner of Fourth and South Leonsrd streets a ten foot cut was all that was needed to make the grade. It is expected that the connec- tions will be made about next Wednesday. Then there will be three catch basins to put ip, one at Fourth street. one at Third street and another at the junction of Por- ter and South Leonard streets.
 No article that has appeared in the DEMOCRAT for some time has met with such approval by citizens generally, and especially those residing in this section, as the one in reference to the need of the ex- tension of West Liberty or Jewclry streets to connect with Bank street. The only thing about it that some people don't care for is the reference to the inconvenience drivers of teams are put to on account of the delay in making the long round to get onto or out of that part of the city What has that got to do with a man that carries a dinner pail. said an employe of one of the shops on Bank street. when talking of the matter last night. "The man with the team" he said. '.is not watching the whistle. and if he is little late in de- livering his groceries it is the house. keepers suffer and not the grocer. The whole trouble rests right here. The work ingmen and working women of Waterbury have no representative man to state their grievances to the public. Some tune whe n a few well-to-do men who have te Iu si zee it to petition for a road at this point, you may see it there. but you will never see anything done about it until some o-e feels the inconvenience besides the factory hands. The sad spectacle of several hum dred women walking ankle deep through that passageway winters and no one to make an effort to call attention to it is all the proof you need of the truth of this statement"
