From the RaleigA Standard. COMMON SCHOOLS. We make the following extract from a letter ad dressed to us by a friend in une of the Counties of this State: 'Will you favor me with an answer to the following qoefftioas '.' Is it legal for children not resilient in the district to attend the school of the said district 7 Is the study of tlreek, Latin, or other Laniru:ijr 5 which are asaally considered "extras'' to private schocds. included within the runfe of instruction provi ded for bj the- organic principle of our Common School System ?

"' We have carefully examined the Common School laws in relation to the foregoing points, and we be lieve we express their spirit and meaning when we say in reply First, That it is not legal for the children of one district to attend school in another, except under certain provisions and restrictions specified, as fol lows : On page 7th, section 22, (latter clause,) of the pamphlet edition of the Common School laws issued in 1857, it is provided that committees of one district may unite with individuals of another for the purpose of raising a sum sufficient to carry on the schools for the longest time. The obvious meaning of this is, that where a school is not crowded by the children of the district, the com mittee may receive other children for pay, the sum to be added to the school fund of the district. Again, on pase 6th of said pamphlet, section 16, ! she lav in her husband's arms. 1 helped her hus- it is provided that the children in any one district j band with another man, consign her to the deep, may, by the consent of two superiutendants, attend ' as I was close by.

About this time within the reach of all; and such is the spirit of the mate stood op in the boat and asked us, in Eng Couunon Schools every where, except where graded lish and German, if we wanted to be saved, and schools exist. But a small portion coniparath tlv if so, we should have to carry out his instructions, of any community would ever study the ancient He told us that wc should all have to get out of the languages, even if they had the opportunity; and if boat, and hang on to the bulwarks and the oars they were introduced into our schools, there would that they would place across the boat till she got at once be a feeling of jealousy that the teacher's above the snfacc, and they would bail her out.

Notwithstanding the excitement around the mate was cool and col lected, and would have accomplished what he said had his orders been respected. On their not com plying with his orders he leaped into the boat among the crowd and took the passengers in any manner he could and threw them out of the boat on the deck. In this he was assisted by a stout gentleman, one of the passengers, but more rush ing upon and into the boat than they could throw out the task was hopeless. The fire rushing up on them the mate took a knife and cut the tackle from the davits, and let the boat down into the water, upon reaching which the gieat weight of the passengers sunk her some feet. On going into the water there were probably forty persons in the boat, all jammed together 'dike herrings in a bar rel." The cries of the passengers were of every description of fear, consequent from such a peril ous position, and were terrible to hear. The gen eral cry was that all would be lost, while some were crying to God to save them. The passen gers were all washed out of this boat as she en tered the water. As she righted up again the passengers were rising on to the surface and scrambling as best they could to get hold of her. When I was rising up came against the keel of the boat, and then struck out a little and ultimate ly got hold of the bulwarks. At that time there were probably only ten persons in the boat and hanging on to her; but in a few minutes after wards the boat was again filled with her former occupants, who weighed her down to twelve or eighteen inches underneath the surface. In this position we were upwards of five hours the cork around the life boat and an air tight box connected with it prevented her from sinking, though in this position in the water. My father never got into the boat after it first filled and wc were all swept out. Five or six oars belonging to the boat had been lashed together, so that on his first coining to the surface he caught hold of them. He would undoubtedly have reach ed the boat, but live or six persons took hold of the oars, which prevented them from moving only as the water drifted them. Our boat was in the same unmanageable position, we could only keep still and be drifted by the water. Once they were so near on the oars that I got hold of the ends, and with the assistance of a gentleman tried to pull them to us, but their weight and wet clothes ren dered it beyond our strength. Ihiring four hours they drifted alongside of us. At last 1 was told that my father had got hold of the stei n of the boat; I could not get to him; it was impossible to move, at last, being exhausted, after hanging on only a few minutes, he sank and 1 never saw him more. From the movement of some in the boat it was capsized four times. With the exception of two ladies and one child, the passengers of this boat were all men. The first time that" the boat was capsized, the lady lost her child; the second time she was nigh lost herself, and after the third time she died in the boat from exhaustion, while jump from the vessel. The Steward tnd Steward ess; who had succeeded in reaching the deck be fore the flames had extended into the cabin, were known to be lovers. They remained by one an other, exhibiting the fondest affection. When forced by the heat to go overboard, they embraced and kissed one another, sprang into the water, and sank locked in each other's arms. There were several newly married couples on board, amoug the German passengers. Charles Brandt, of Chicago, and Mr Hoxie, of New York, were on board, and it is believed were lost. Affecting Incidents. Mr John Palicrusa in his statement relates the following affecting inci dents : He saw one gentleman and lady jump over board with their clothes all in a blaze. In order to get out of the reach of the flames, which were every moment coming nearer and nearer, he took a piece of rope of some three yards in length, and letting himself down, fastened himself to the fore chains underneath the bowsprit, where he hung some three or four hours, waiting for the French vessel to come near enough to reach them. As the flames increased, the poor, miserable creatures j on the bowsprit jumped into the water as their clothes caught on fare dropping into the water, as Mr Palicrusa says, 'dike drops of rain in a heavy shower." One woman, with two daughters, kissed them both, and then putting her arms around them, all three jumped into the water. An Eng lish lady, who carne on board at Southampton with ; her husband, had three children with her--a girl : about five years old, a boy about three, and a babe I in her arms. The husband had jumped oer, and as the flames grew hotter and burned more fiercely, she took her little girl, kissed her, and threw her into the water. She then took the boy, a fair, healthy little fellow, embraced him, gave him her last kiss, and threw him in. lie struck on his back and struggled very hard, rising to the surface three separate times, calling out, "Mamma," each time in the most piteous tones, then sunk to rise no more. The poor woman then clasped her baby to her breast and jumped in with it, kissing it re peatedly as they sank to the bottom. A young man who was in the second cabin, and who said he was going to California, where he had a brother, had his sister with him, a girl sixteen or seventeen years of age. In order to save her from the fire, he fastened a rope around her body, and, : making one end fast to the deck, let her down ! over the side of the vessel. lie then put another j rope around his own body, and let himself down; but the rope was not well fastened, and as he jump ' cd over, it slipped from under his arms and caught him around the throat. As he struck the water, the waves dashed him up against the vessel's side, , and falling back again, he was quickly choked to death; his sister shreiking, "Help! help! will no body help my brother t" Mr Palierusca says when j he left the vessel, the poor girl was hanging there, screaming and crying, with the waves dashing the dead body of her brother against her every few moments. An Englishman, about fifty years of age, who came on board at Southampton with his j wife, crawled with her out on the bowsprit as far I as they could, and as the flames approached, the7 clasped their arms around each other with one last kiss, jumped into the water and sank immediately. : And so brothers and sisters, fathers and sous, mothers and daughters, embracing each other, jumped into the waves. interesting or useful to the great majority of the people This seems to be the obvious meaning of that provision of the law which says "Any branch of English education may be taught in said schools."

The sengers and we went all over into the water, except one womau and the two men who bailed out. At this time a man was seen in the water, with a lartre tin life buoy. He was hailed, and added to the number of those who were clinging to the boat, while his buoy was cut in two by the mate and used to bail out the water. The boat cleared of water, tne passengers were told to enter again. has repeatedly given similar opinions Demockatk (Jains.

The Detroit Advertiser alt., has the following account of perpetrated in Chatham, Canada, before : A party of Southerners were on the express train and one of them had a mulatto servant, a boy of 10 years, along with him. At London a colored man was observed in conversation with the boy, while standing upon the platform. No suspicion was excited by this, however, but when the train reached Chatham, where it stops to wood and water, it was instantly surrounded by a tumultuous gathering of three or four hundred colored persons, evidently laboring under great excitement. A white man, representing himself to be the Sheriff of the town, entered the car where the gentleman and his servant sat, followed by a crowd of colored men. One of the latter individuals asked the boy to come out. lie replied that he would not, and clung to his master. In the meantime, those outside were shouting, 'Bring him out,' &e., ami revolvers were freely shown by those out as well as in. The boy was taken out, crying, and endeavoring to cling to his master, and borne away by the crowd. The train then started, and the gentleman whose name is YV. B. Merwin, and residence St. Louis, came to this city and is now stopping at the Russell House. Nails in Fruit Trees. A singular fact and one worthy of being recorded, was mentioned to : us a few days since by Mr Alexander Luke of Albemarle. He stated that whilst on a visit to a neighbor, his attention was called to a large peach orchard, every tree in which was totally destroyed by the ravages of the worm, with the exception of three, and these were the most thrifty and flourish ing peach trees he ever saw. The only cause of their superiority known to this host, was an ex- 1 periment made in consequence of observing that those parts of worm eaten timber into which nails had been driven, were generally sound. When his trees were about a year old, he had selected three of them and had driven ten penny nails through the body as near the ground as possible; whilst the balance of his orchard had gradually failed and finally yielded entirely to the ravages of the worms, these three trees, selected at random, treated precisely in the same manner, with the ex ception of nailing had always been igorous and healthy, furnishing him at that very period with greatest profusion of the most kicious fruit. It is supposed that the salt of iron aflorded by the nail is offensive to the worm, whilst it is harmless, or perhaps beneficial to the tree. A chemical writer on this subject says : The oxydation or rusting of the iron by the sap evolves ammonia, which as the sap rises, will of course impregnate every part of the foliage and prove too severe a dose for the delicate palate of intruding insects." Ihis writer recommends driving half a dozen nails into the trunk. Several experiments of the kind have resulted successfully. Southern Plan- Cukf. for the Bite of a Mad Doc wri ter in the National Intelligencer, says that spirits I of hartshorn is a certain remedy for the bite of a i mad dog. The wound, he adds, should be con stantly bathed with it. and three or four doses, dilated taken inwardly during the day. The hartshorn decomposes chemically the virus insinu- ' ated into the aound, and immediately alters and destroys its deleteriousness. 1 he writer, who re sided in Brazil for some time, first tried it for the bite of a scorpion, and found thai it removed pain and iuflamation almost instantly. Subsequently, he tried it for the bite of the rattlesnake, with similar success. At the suggestion of the writer, 1 an old friend and physician tried it in the cases of hydrophobia, and always with success. J Cuba to be Fortified. Quebec, Oct. 7.

The people commenced a most diligent search, and next morning found, arrested, and carried him to Pleasant Hili, ill this county, for trial before a Jus tice of the Teacc, but before they had proceeded very far in legally investigating the affair, a large number of persons arrived from the neighborhood of Farmersville, took the negro in charge, carried him back to that place, tied him to a stake, built a log heap around him, and were in the act of apply ing the torch, when several present objected to burning, as such a proceeding would not be in keeping with the customs of an enlightened and civilized community. A preference for hanging him being then expressed by the majority of the crowd, he was released from the stake, taken to a tree, and hung up without further ceremony. mm Romantic MARKIAflE.
