JURISDICTION OF TEACHERS. Joseph Leon
ord, school teacher, was tried before JUS
tice in Chicopee last week, and fined SO and
costs for assault and battery upon William F..
Wheeler, one of his pupils, the punishment
Of whom, though appropriate in kind, was in
ficted in consequence of the boys refusal to
stay after school hours to sweep the school
house, requirement which the magistrate
held to be illegal, on the ground that teacher
jurisdiction does not extend beyond school
hours in matters foreign to the purposes Of in
struction.

History OF THE PROTESTANT CHURCH IN
HUNGARY, from the beginning of the Ref
ormation to 1850, translated by Rev. j.
Craig, of Hamburg, with an Introduction
by j. III. MERLE D'AUBIGNE Of Geneva
Boston, Phillips, Sampson & Co.
This is work of $50 pages, neatly print
ed. Hungary took ground early in favor of
the Reformation and was the scene of perse-
cuton and martyrdom. No complete history
of the church in that country existed until
this work appeared 1t embraces a page in
the history of Protestant Christianity that has
been hitherto unread it opens to the view Of
the Protestant Christian suffering and OPP
pressed church and it makes known ma
ton, distant, it Is true, but brought near to US
by its faith.
D'Aubigne says the Church of Hungary
has been ilustrious. The great principles of
the Christian faith were endeared to the fathers
Of the church, and relying upon those princi-
pies the early Christians met persecution and
martyrdom with gospel heroism. But their
descendants departed from the faith by leav-
ing what was called ''vulgar orthodoxy" and
dipping into politics, or yielding to the spirit
of the age. This is precisely the sin of
American Professionalism the rock upon which
the American Church will split ere long IN
less repented of.
This history informs US that in Hungary
ambitious laymen exhorted their pastors to
set aside the doctrines Of the gospel and direct
their attention to the duty of the people as
citizens. The pastors yielded to this spirit
Of the age, and thus brought on the decline of
religion in Hungary. Thus in America at
the present time, pastors deem their duties as
christian ministers to preach the gospel as
Christ and Paul preached it, to be less binding
than their duty to take care of political theo-
ries and watch and Islander politicians. They
leave the pulpit for the stump, and play the
partizan in their prayers. They prefer get
ting up monster memorial to Congress, to
the humble and Christlike work of converting
ton all American pastors but we do large
proportion Of the New England clergy
Thank the Lord, we have many Pauls among
us whose great ambition is to preach "CHRIsT
AND HIM CRUcIFIED.'
D'Aubigne appeals TO the Church Of Hun
gary Of the present day to take the position
that belongs to her as the exponent of the pure
faith held by the children of God. He says
we demand of that church to make the arti-
Giles of faith of a pure orthodoxy living prn-
ciple, to proclaim them from the pulpit, to
keep them alive in the heart. We make this
demand for the sake of its forefathers, for the
sake of its martyrs. for the sake of its own
life and prosperity, in the name Of the Father,
Son and Holy Ghost, which is pronounced
over the heads of all its children. We ex-
hort her boldly from the west Of Europe
from the. foot of the Alps-from the town of
Calvin, which has always regarded her with
affection,-in words from Holy Writ -
"Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from
the dead, and Christ shall give thee light"

The PREsDENT.-The Wing papers do not
think very highly Of the President The De-
troit Advertiser says:
In future years, the name Of Franklin Pierce
will be regarded with pity and contempt
When the action Of his admiration shall become
part of history, he will be measured by the
standard of the early Presidents. Compared
with them, he cannot be-but only contrasted.
Gen. JACKSON, says the Detroit Free Press,
was abused worse than this when he was Pres
ident The federal prints called him an old
fool-said he didn't write his own messages,
and that his election was public scourge.

Riot in Bangor.

We learn from the Bangor Mercury of Mon
day that on the afternoon of Sunday a serious
ARRAY occurred in that city 1t appears that
Deputies Pratt and Amsden, and Constable
Mathew took drunken, turbulent Irishman
belonging on board the steamer PenObscot, in
custody at the wharf, and when proceeding
with him TO the lookup, a crowd of Irishmen
began to thicken from the numerous dens in
that vicinity and beset the police, and attempt
ed rescue. For some time Deputy Ans
den succeeded in keeping off the crowd, but
finally it had become 50 large that desperate
onslaught was made on the officers and several
severe blows and injuries inflicted. Deputy
Pratt, who had the prisoner in his hold, was
finally overpowered by the assailants and Sc
verey injured, while the prisoner made his es-
cape. The ringleader of the rioters was one
llaggerton, but he made his escape. Much
excitement was produced in the city and Mayor
Pickering has offered reward Of $500 for the
arrest and conviction Of the persons engaged
in the assault.
