Our space for local is abridged this niarning by the publication of the report of llev J B Boone, Superintendent of thc'City'-'Graded School. We hopeeach one of our citizens will, read it. If there is any one thing of more im portance than another to the rising genera tion, of all classes and conditions, in Char lotte, it is that this school be maintained. It has done a good work since ita organiza tion, and the community cafinot afford to J allow it to go down. Many children, whose parents are too poor to send them to priVate schools can here, receive a good; Engfteh education, and education is progress, moral ity and Christianity. . Without the public schools many children must grow up in the community ignorant and perhaps vicious. With the public schools they can acquire at east the rudiments of an education, and education is always elevating and re fining in its influences. . ' In this Graded School the sj'stem of edu cation is perfect so far as' it professes to go. Not only is the mind properly trained, but the manners and morals of the - pupils; are carefully looked to. The Bible is read and studied and everything of a Christianizing tendency is plied in the government and conduct of the school. The1 children are early impressed with their religious respon-. sibility : and the duty whicli they owe them selves, their country aud societyfAhd thus is laid the foundation upon which is to be built up an intelligent and useful class of citizens.'.

In. view of these facts can the citizens of Char-. lotte aj'brd to have this school to stop 7 The amount which falls to it froni the common school fnnd is not sufficie'nl; to keep it in ex istence, and surely dnxpeople will not re fuse the pittance which is absolutely neces sary to sustain its life. , i i - m- 1 . Accident from Ughtnlng Striking a Tree. An accident, which will probably re-? suit in the death of a negro man, and which killed a ljorft and jnula which he was driv ing, occurred uuuui uvo uni uvui Mii vpstpnla v afternoon, caused by . flash of lightning striking a tree under j which , the team had been stopped, during, the preva lence of a thunder-storm about 5 o clock. It appears that some countrymen Who were comine to Charlotte, stopped .about hall mile below the scene of the disaster, and -while standing in the road with 'their tetww the colored man mentioned drove by them and came on toward town., ' After the storm had somewhat subsided ihey 'drove-onf;-and had nroreeded but a - short distafic "whn they found the team which had passed them but a few imomenta -before,' almost entirely covered by Ihe limbs and splinters bf a large tree which had be'eVliterally shivered and4 as it were, wrung off near the ground by, .a flash of lightnings "V V' t ".-.Jf " ,.",; " The horse and muleliad received the mam body of the Iree across; their hacks, and were perfectly dead.w, The man gave signs oi.iihj, and, help being called in, he - was removed to the residence of MrWm Shunianv about tw? miles from the city, of whom he is . an emDlovee. and to whom the'learh helonged.

We, the senior proprietor, attended the speaking at David son College on - last Saturday, ; where the Conservative candidates for the Legislature, Messrs Waring and .Reid, presented" the claims of the Conservative party to the peo ple in a manner creditable to them and ac ceptable to their hearers. .1.. They were followed by Dr W M Kerr, an independent candidate of the Republican laith who .by the way, , was endorsed on Saturday by a Republican convention as their candidate, who made his - maiden ef fort to prove that Radicalism alone could save the country, and that he only was able Mr hear "on his "herculean shoulders the weight of purifying and purging his party, and of redeeming the country.; The Doc tor's Republican declarations jare Character istic of the party, and aretnadenpa tis-!-sue of Jnisrepresentatiojis w man can believe.- It( amusing to hear the Doctor tell of Democratip railroads asking the Democratic (?)

Many of his other declarations fell as impotent and still-born' as this in regard to Democratic appropriations by the Demo cratic Legislature of '6S'69. Capt Waring's speech, to which the Doc tor attempted to reply, was ah able and con clusive argument in favor of the principles of Conservatism and the? position of the Con servative party on the vital questions "f the public debt of the State arid tlje Civil Rights Bill. After the conclusion of these speeches. Capt Isaac Matthews followed in a ram bling, desultory speech of over an hour's length, in which we were unable to gather anything of importance or interest to his au dience. . .-, , The canvass was continued on Monday at Ramah Church, all the candidates speak ing to those citizens of that community who had galhVreTnd licar or to pay fhe fixes im posed upon them. On Tuesday the' candidates spoke at Mal lard Creek, and there, as elsewhere, ? the Conservative cause"-' seemed lo promise a clear and decisive triumph on the 6th day of next August.

Pthe SchtKi CbmmUt Chhtte Township : sGemtwmen ; fl have the i honor to submit the report of the first session of the Graded School in Charlotte, N C, started under our direction. "The session commenced oh the 28thday of October, 1873 and" closed .the 19th day of lun, i874. ' During the session, there were -over 300 pupils - in the school; but we followed the plan of promptly drop ping the names ot. those who left; so that we .never had at; any time more than 273 on our roll. , The enrollment was kept by months, and the following will show the numbers : ' ' ' i' ' Nov., 179. Dec., 196. Janu'y, 223. Feb'y, 244.- : Mar., 273. Ap;i,269. ? May, 269. :'' June, 244:' The average attendance for the whole ses sion,.,... t.i.Vi.;..v..v.w 'f 175. The average attendance for the first four, months,.... ..,..,.. ; 172. The average attendance for the second four months,: 184. ' In reference to fiinancial statemen the en tire 'expense of the School is found to be $2901.75, and taking an average of the enrol ment, makes the cost per scholar for the session $t2. The average cost, for instruct tion alone $9.24. The average attendance was largely affected In the last half of the session by the measels and the chicken "pox. About 100 'pupils, were, daring this time, afflicted with these diseases, of which I have known of hut one death.-; The final examinations of the Classes, show a highly gratifying result, and entirely satisfactory progress, creditable alike to teachers and pvpils, except in one class. And this excep tion was entirely owing tp the, unexpected, resignation of Miss Carr, which caused that class to have three teachers during the s sion. The change of Miss Miller from that class to Miss Moore's class, was a complete success, as the examination shows'. And if Miss Carr had remained, the class she had would have lost nothing. After she left, Mrs Waring Was pat in charge just two months before the, close of the. session. No blame for the ill success of the class attaches' itself to her; nor indeed to any one, but is solely owing- to that unfortunate,- and un foreseen combination of circumstances. In deed, that class appeared In a bad light, more from the contrast . from the, others, most of which did even better than .was ex pected." ' TV . The discipline of the school ha? caused much' less trouble than was an ticipated. The number of cases has been small, and no ne of them of a heinous character. .f , ' There is a hearty tone of enthusiasm in the school,' among both teachers and stu dents, while the patrons are highly grati fied. The care that you have exercised in the selection of teachers has been, amply re warded, by a corps of instructors whose praise is best proclaimed in the proficiency of their scholars. . . While most of the teachers came to the school without any experience in the Grad ed System pf Instruction, they promptly fell in with it, ahd'now we have eeteral who are sufficiently acquainted with the plan to work it with much better success than heretofore. The training of teachers is one . of the most important steps irj a " Graded' School, and in nearly every instance, those that, we have can be retained.: r i 'f Of the $2901.75 paid: out for the school, a considerable sum was spent: for fdrniture which is still goodand will last for seyeral years.,- We have now 13 new desks, oesiaes those we had before,' which cost $2.75 each, one black board $3, set of wall maps,' a box of objects and pictures of animals, and oth er things, all of which are worth about $75. The actual cost for instruction is $2181. The indebtedness ' of the Board is $200, 7 with some accounts not collected, which ,wiH re-, dace the amount to about $175. 4One hun dred and fifty of this amount is for. rent, $50 of. which is t now: due. -1 The - balance of the indebtedness is due to me. . 4 n,-' 5 1 1 : The furniture, school registert, and Super intendent's book, will all be ; found " in, the school roonv with the examination papers,' subject to your inspection. -tl;rC ' ? Let me remind the Committee here-that the engagements, of the Superintendant and Teachers, have"t expired." JJone of them have any guaranty to a position. in . the school; they are liable, thereforeVto aocept situations elsewberev -,q " - 1 With the completion of tbia report, my work as the servant of theBoard terminates. TSut though my work has ended my inter est in the school as my , own cnensnea pro ject, will Juot cease. " My, relation with you as a Board, has been pleasant, my connec tion with the School has' been' a delightful serviced .ccepi of my; thanks ' for your hearty cooperation; -The result of our : sea sion's labor has been to. utilize $1760, of, the Public School Fund, to bring to, the School $600, that, would have been lost to ns,to make available echool facilities'. Mr all the children in the city. : Bat most bf all to in- blessings upon our community, In concluding this 'report, allow me to sag- gest an early, arrangement for a re-opening of the second session. .The interest of the school demands that opening to be in better ' buildings unless there can M such' built or ' procured," pt a near prospect for ; them .at the time o( opening " the school, will ;- fall much below the itandit Wghf to 3rtaki. I suggest to the (tnjrttee 1pu Kthw raost de sired end now to be gained is, to so connect ' the Graded School with the other schools of the town, as to secure an entire cooperation, and form'an mibrbteh connection;- by' mak ing the Military-Institute and the Female College, to supply the high achool depart ments of the Graded School, 3 This : might be done it .we could 6 e Committee to meet with the Trustees of the College, the Faculty of C Insttute, iin4 a number of the prominent, "represatative' citizens, and . discuss the matter, and appoint a committee J from the several parties, to report a plan as to whether if would be better to connect the Graded School and the Biigh 8chool De partment for girls, is a question of delicacy to decide. If after such a conference it is decided to erect Hew buildings for the Grad ed School ah important end will be gained. In case of the( erection' of new buildines I would suggest that it be 'done by. a joint stock company, allowing the stockholders to elect a board of trustees' to hold the right to the property and to co-operate with the school committee. This will guard the building against the threatening "Civil Rights Bill," which would take possession of all school property belonging to the public schools.;- This whole matter can now be considered without any reference to me, as I have no further connection with the enter prise. It is beet Uiaitshpuld be so Let the school by all means be made of such - a character as to eman4jhe;;hest patronage oftheatyi.W:;, Respectfully subm ;J. B;Book,' Principal and Superintendent.
