School Uouses of West ltemplieltl.
FAIRVIEW, March 13, '66.
MEssu.s.E.orrous: A few days ago I had
occasion to pass through WestH7empfieid
iltoWnship 'en business; - Being , a', resident
and 'voier in said township, I .asked
whether I would be at. the election on
the coming Friday. My curiosity being
aroused, I inquired what superogatory
thing was.going to , trarnspire, when I was
'informed that they wanted to elect a
school board in the township in favor of
erecting new and comfortable school
houses, as the present ones are incompat
ible to subsorve the hygienic and aesthetic
aspirations of the rising generation.—
Every man who has ever transmi
grated this delectable territory knows
this to be a fact.
There is a party however, who are op
posed to spending the mighty dollar, and
are going the rounds trying to induce
others to join them in their opposition
to improvements in learning or any of
its facilities or comforts. Tiles° men I
presume would rather see their children
raised to eminence above a compost pile,
than to be well-adneated and be inspired
with heaven-born aspirations and new
fledged energies.
Gentlemen, when I - contrast West
Hempfield township with Manor, I blush
to think how far we are behind the age.
Thirty years ago, Manor was a region so
desolated that whipporwills, passing over
it, had to carry knapsacks, and where
'ignorance was bliss for half a century,
'but new ideas began to sprout in the
minds of the present populace, and the
result is that such men as Jacob F. Frey,
Jacob Stoner, Jacob B. Shuman and
many others whose names I could men
tion, are driving everything to the wall
for the benefit and education of the ris
ing generation. Look at the change
that has been wrought in that township.
Compare their lands now with what they
were twenty years age. Such men as I
have mentioned are the kind of men we
want for school Directors in our town :
ship; men who not afraid to 'spend - the
mighty dollar for the comfort of the
children. The school edifices that were
erected in Mane/ township are a credit
to the school board and enduring monu
ments of their liberal sentiments.
-With proper school houses, the teach - -
ers.can be obtained, and proper habits of
cleanliness and order are instilled into
the young. Besides, when school houses
are properly furnished, and tastefully
-laid out, there is a pride in keeping
-everything-in proper condition.
Look at the school houses in West
Hempfield. Doors all shattered,' win
dows broken in, walls yielding to their in
feriority of .ereetion - .,
. _
Mr. Eaditor.l, thought I , lived'- in the
age of improvewent, but when r think 'of
the dilapida tedsrickety pens that we call
school houSes, it makes me feel that I
belong to an ancient
,generation. We
hope, therefore, that the' present men
who pledge themsefves not tb improve
will meet - with defeat at the ,ballot box,
and that. their names may be
. engraved
or imprinted in some way on the old
rickety school houses that now - disgrace
our township, there to remain as a 3varn
in'g to all Men of that class - for all time
to come, So that rising generations: may
t know who Abortion were who opposed
the-building of comfortable and tastely,
schoolhouses.
AGE OF IMMOVEMENT
Letter from Washington.
WASELINGTON, March 13, 1866
MR. blinTort : March with all its
blustering is
_upon . us, the clouds of
dust that have'swept, through the streets
meeting you .a,t every corner, filling eyes,
nostrils and mouth have been almost un
bearable.
With a few exceptions the
streets here - are not 'paved not macadam
ised. The red soil strewn over with
ashes thrown out by, and to Suit the
Convenience of the inhabitants, eompose
the thoroughfares. The consequences
arc, in rainy weather we have mud'Makle
deep, and when Government wagons
were plenty I have 'seen the mud reach
to the hub of the whcel,again by the dry
ing March winds the clouds of dust that
rise, blind the eyes and hinder locomo
tion. Dust, as every one knows is an
indispensable concomitant of travel. It
is at once easily appreciated from the
fact that. it can be felt'and easily seen—
from the fact that it gets into our eyes.
It rejects the advice of Polonius, "Be
ever familiar, but by no means vulgar ;"
for it is irresistibly familiar and uncom
monly vulgar—it rushes into your hair,
stuffs up your ears, looks into your eyes,
strays up one's nose, enters your mouth
goes down your neck, chokes up your
throat, dirties your collar,_ soils your
bosom, spoil your clothes, or, in the
more expressive language of poetry,
"It spoils your collars, spoils your clothes,
Stuffs up your cars and tills up your nose."
As long as this city has existed, yet as
regards improvements, comparatively
speaking, 'tis 'only in its infliney. Till
the commencement of the war the in
habitants lived in a kind of haphazard
style, relying on Congress for im
provements. Since the war, they have
been ruieiy awakened, yet they are dil
atory in following up the example shown
them by yankee enterprise. One thing
they know thoroughly ; to charge well
for everything they have got for sale.—
House rents arc rather lower now than
for years previoutly, and marketing I
understand is as cheap as iu Pentisylva
ni a.
The Receptions at Speaker Colfax's
in 4 1 1 street arc well attended by Sena
tors, Representatives, Generals and elite
of the city—occasionally a sprinkling of
Department Clerks are found there, and
as cordially received as the highest rank.
Next Thursday evening will be the last
of these receptions, as the House has re
solved to hold evening sessions for the
despatch of business. Saturday last was
devoted to speech making in the House.
Mr. Orth, Indiana, occupied his hour in
a clear well read speech, after which Mr.
Stevens from Penn'a. The galleries
were crowded in anticipation of this
speech. The Uou. Gent caused roars of
laughter by his replies to Mr. Price of
lowa. After Mr. S.'s speech the House
thinned out immediately. It is certain
ly an unexpected sight for country folks
to see a member reading a long speech
to an almost empty house, not more
than twenty members being present, and
the Speaker either reading a newspaper
or chatting with an ill. C.
Were it not that St. Patrick's day is
so near, we may almost infer from the
specimens of good weather of the last
few days, that March having "come in
like a lion was going out like a lamb,"
I t
but like the Ca adians just now,we must
not 6.114 St. trick; ore their . admirers
too much. T eir was a Fenian meeting
here on Wednesday evening last. After
the usual amount- of spouting, the meet
ing quietly dispersed. Of course money
is asked, and by many freely given.—
'TiS not supposed our amicable relations
with Groat Britain will be disturbed by
the contemplated Fenian movement.
I am glad to see the proper authorities
are waking up to necessity of Sanitary
measures before the warm weather is
upon us. This city has had scenes of
sufferinf , and death to appal the stoutest.
Long trains of ambulances filled with
groaning, mutilated braves—wendinr ,
0
their wz - Ly to the hospitals. Along other
streets might ae seen sail processions of
those who had ceased to suffer, wrapped
in their Country's flag, tending towards
the resting place for the weary. May
such sights ne'er again be seen, either us
the effects of war or pestilence, therefore
it behooves the proper authorities to see
that sanitary measures are strictly en
force.
Having heard that you contemplate a
visit, I say come on. The N. C. R. W.
having finished the double track, and the
excellent arrangements to be found ou it,
as well as on the Baltimore Branch of
the Balt. & Ohio R. R. invite a trip to
the Capitol of the Nation. A new
schedule went into effect on this road a
few days ago, as follows :
Leave Washington for Balto. at 6.20,
7.30, 11.15 A. M., and 2.45, 4.30, 7.4 0
