HORRIBLE CRUELTY TO A CHILD BY A FE.
MALE TEACHER

We have tho authenticated facts relating to
the intlicton of tho most cruel punishment
upon child of nine years of ago, by school
teacher in the town Of Greece, in this county,
ON Wednesday last The 1nfecling woman
who committed the act is n Miss Caroline
Wicly, of Ogden, only seventeen years Of age.
She had boon employed some two or three
months to teach tho District School in West
Greece The particulars of the outrage com
mitted by her, are as follows: During school
on Thursday forenoon, n little son of Jomos
Upton, we'll known and highly respectable
citizen of Greece, was reading in his class, and
failed to pronounce some difficult word to tho
the satisfaction of the teacher. She common-
ced beating him numerically with a largo
stick, such as oxen arc usually driven with
| This stick she broke across his back, and
went to procure another. Meanwhile, the boy
ran home to escape farther punishment, and
remained there until noon. At noon tho tea
cher called at Mrs. Upton's and appeared un-
usually pleasant, and said nothing of the whip
ging affair. Mrs. Upton directed her son to
return to school-bo did so. When he camo
| in, the teacher sent the rest of tho scholars
homo. and locked the door, retaining the child
She then took a largo apple tree limb, far lar
| ger than any whip, and commenced beating
the child. and ended by leaving him sonsoess
upon tho floor. IIo lay about an hour upon
| tho floor, and was thon takon homo.
The trustees ofthc school met promptly the
same day on hearing of tho outrage, and dis
| charged the teacher.
We have related tho above from nlorma-
| tcn given us by Mr.. w. s. Tbompon, crockc-
ry merchant of this city, who is conversant
with tho facts, and whose veracity will not be
questioned. Now wo will stat, what we have
seen. We have examined the person of the lit
| tic boy, and heard his statement. His back
and arms are horribly laccratod. and present
condition similar to that often told of slaves
at the South, who have suffered from the lash
None but brute could have inflicted such
wounds upon child. The boy is only nine
years of age, and appears to bo an unoffendng
disposition. lIo says tho teacher stripped him
before inlictng this terrible punishment. thus
showing that she was del berato in all her acts
Had this outrage been committed by one of
our sex, we should have been prepared to hold
the author up to the scorn of community, but
committed by female of IL years, it appears
almost Incredible, and the heart sickens at
| tho thought, and had rather turn from the sub
ject. We have seen the child, and we have
| lincontestible evidence that ho received this
cruel treatment from ,comdn. 1t matters
not what his offence may have been. A wom-
ans heart never beats in that bosom. Hoav-
en grant she may never bo mothor!
