Several days ago, mention was made In this paper of the abandonment Of the three masted schooner, William H. Skinner, on the coast of North Caro- lima. The scooner was bound to Fair Haven with cargo of lumber for Louis A Mansfield and others. The cargo was loaded in Georgetown, s. C. As there was no one on board when the ship was spoken, it was thought that the crew had been saved in their boats, as there were no boats on the craft. But about a month went by and nothing was heard from the captain, who was well known here and the crew of five men and 1t was beginning to be believed thet all had been lost. News was recei' sd here Saturday, that the crew of tho schooner had been picked up from a raft and carried into Bel fast. Ireland They had drifted for six days on their raft, had suffered great priva tions and were on the verge of Starvation, when they were picked up by the steamer Brayhead, Nothing more has been seen of the schooner since she was first spoken, abandoned and dismasted. The cargo of lumber Is insured.

While our own school in the village has fire es- capes and great care Is taken in drill ing the children, still one very bad feature was the way in which the front doors opened. These doors could only be pushed one way and would be very bad if crowd of people were making an effort to get out How ever. during the past week c. F. Reed has been employed in fixing the doors in such a way as to make them swing both ways. On completion of Mir. Reeds work it will be felt that the danger of panic in case of fire will be averted.
