Good Evidence.

AT the close of the Fall Term of the New
castle Academy, the students voluntarily pre-
sented their teachers with testimonials of re-
gard, for the faithful manner in which they
had discharged their duties. The presents
consisted of gold pencil, valued at $40 to
the Principal-and a breast. pin valued at $40,
and PORTFOLIOS at So, to the Preceptress.-
Good evidence this, that these teachers are
competent to instruct, and at the same time
win the respect and esteem of their pupils

Chapparel.

Our readers have often seen the term Chap

we had supposed the term applied to copes of
woods, or groves. Instead of this, the word

limbs are very close and are armed plentifully
with thongs, or thorns resembling prongs on
our common thorn tree. We saw, day or

fourteen of these formidable weapons-aver-

in many cases, have found the chapparel more
formidable than Mexican bayonets.
