The School Bill, We shall publish

changes made in the school law by the
recent enactment. The following act
which is now a law will prove of much
interest to many of our readers :
AN ACT FOR THE JtELIEF OF CERTAIN
SCHOOB TEACHERS.
Sec. 1. The General Assembly of
North Carolina, do enact, that the
County Treasurers be authorized and
directed to pay out of the schools funds
in their hands, such sums of money as
may be due to teachers of public schools
for sessions rendered prior to the
ratification of the. present school law.
Provided, That the said claims shall be
audited, and approved by the County
Commissioners

i;orresponaeni senas tue ioiiowing :
The freshet in Granville last week
Jl A 1 .1 11
was a heavy one. The mill-dam at
Cannady's mill was 'washed away, and
also the bridge which was near the
mill. -.
A barn of tobacco, belonging to Mrs.
Col. R." P. Taylor,' narrowly escaped
being consumed by fire a few days ago.
Fortunately the flames were discovered
in time to be extinguished before any
inquiry except of a very slight nature
was sustained. The fire was purely the
cause of accident. ' ;
The ware house at Tally Ho, was
established by Messrs. Webb, Fleming
& Co., and not by John L. Jones as
stated in a former item published by
you under the caption ot "Oxford
Items." The mistake arose from the
fact that Mr. E L. Jones is a member of
the firm of Webb, Fleming & Co. and
his name was confounded with that of
his uncle, Mr. John L. Jones, who
owns an interest in' the Granville ware
house at Oxford. ,
On last Wednesday Mr. E. L. Jones
informs us that about 10,000 pounds
of tobacco were sold at the Tally Ho
ware-house, ranging in price from"; four
dollars and five cent3 to as high as sev
enty.two dollars per 100 pounds. Sales
are made at Tallv Ho evcrv Wednes
day ' ' ' ' "'
The question ot cstablishirig a Bank
is being talked of by some of the lead
ing citizens of Oxford, and we trust
they will put their views into practical
operation. .
The idea of a Railroad connection has
not been lost sight of, and when Oxford
can boast of railroad and shanking
facilities it is believed her career ot
prosperity will make rapid strides.
Vith the display of a proper spirit of
liberality, energy and enterprise, both
of these schemes beyond peradventure,
could be successfully carried but. t

Court for the past two das have been
hearing the argument of counsel upon
the cases of the People vs McKee, the
People vs Bledsoe, the PeopIe: ys John

cases involve the validity of the 1 ap
pointments of Directors for the Lunatic
and Deaf and -Dumb Asylums and the
Penitentiary and the Keeper of the

Summer, and the constitutionality of
the different acts of the General
Assembly appointing the present incum
bents. .-.
The cases present the same points1 of

have been argued together.; The ar
gument ha3 been full and elaborate.

Newspapers. The Rome (Ga.)
Courier has n well written article on
newspapers, from which we copy the
following paragraph :
"The value of a newspaper a3 an ed
ucator in his famiiy is invaluable. No
volumes ot books can present the same
amount of valuable matter, collected in
such pleasing variety, as is presented
by the miscellanenous press of the
country. In it is given in weekly in
stallments, the history of- the age in
which we live. No place so obscure, no
home so humble that it may not find
and enter. It is to this class that we
would address this article, not in be
half of the newspapers, but in behalf of
the moral, intellectual, and material
interests of our country."
Dr. Sears, Agent op the; Peabody
Fund. A large and appreciative con
course assembled in the Hall of the
House of Representative on Friday ev
ening to hear this distinguished scholar
and educator. He was introduced to
the introduced to the meeting by Hon.
D. M. Barringer, in appropriate and very
complimentary .terms. His address, of
more than an hour's length, was received
with great satisfaction by his Very in
telligent audience. He illustrated, in a
most lucid and happy manner, the ad
vantage and necessity of popular educa
tion in all countries, and especially in a
free and republican government. He
spoke in general and in detail of the
systems and progress, of free schools in
this country and especially at the South.
A hearty and unanimous vote of
thanks was given to the Rev., and dis
tinguished speaker for his very (able,
instructive and interesting address.

Disguised. At the hour of 10 last
night our clever- young Foreman, B

and notwithstanding enquiry was jmade,
no tidings of the missing was received.
The Devil was sent out on a search at
111 o'clock.- After visiting the tele
graph office, Frapp's, and other points,
he returned and reported that he bad
seen nothing of the pissing Foreman,
but there was a stranger in the business
office of. the News, on the ground flooi;,
about the 6ize of B , but a much
better looking man
Another ,man in the office went - in
search for the missing, and soon return

two since paid the following compli
ment to Mr. Flemming, Senator from
McDowell: v ; ;t: " ;
"We heard one of the oldest.Senators
gay that he always learned something
when Flemming spoke, though he was
only a ' boy; his reading and reflection
had been so directed as to make him
one of the most useful members of the
Senate. , -
Mr. Flemming has introduced a
resolution authorizing the Governor and
Treasurer to appeal in the suits against
the Western North Carolina Railroad,
and to give bond, &c." .
