before at once 10 such depth that all the virtue of
Che city would shut the gates of pity on her forever
Hspriy this conditional case is nothing more than
conditional cate and not at all ike little occurrence
which has lust transpred in the Seventh Ward,
greatly TO the horror of of the denzens of the
Ward and as greatly to the private enjoy nent of
others. For ten days past meetings have been held
10 room in the scbool-house in Henry street, which
have been attended by all the scandallovers of the
Ward. OF the principal parties in the case but one
was present after the first meeting We will begin
with the absent one.
The hero is an archeyebrowed black -haired-and
wbikered companionable, dashing, elegant, frank,
generous handsome, ndiscreet jovial, Know Nothing,
lady favored, married novice political questions,
impetuOus stirring, extraordinary, young, Jealous Com
missioner of the Seventh w ard. lady school teacher
complains, through her father that this prepossessng
gentleman has made sundry attempts to kiss her, and
did not succeed, she There some things
that q school teacher can submit to. For instance,
country gentleman the other day, seat down to an
agent here to send him up, among long list OF other
articles for winter use, e school maIm.' lie was
very particular about that item of the ORDER aud if the
sgeDt would send to suit he offered to give him
bonus of hundred dollars. The agent sent the best
article he could find readily and in three or four weeks
received q check for the stipulated sum with a news
paper-sp containing announcement of the marriage
of the late country bachelor and the city educatrtsS
Such catastrophe this would probably be met
with Christian resignation by a great many school
teachers who not regular members of any church.
In this Seventh Ward case the catastrophe is not
Her brown eyes have fire lurking in them, and her
low, wel.moduated voice has great deal of frmness
m it's music. She sat through four meetings of the
Board Of School Ofcera, gave her evidence when it
was called for in a quiet unosentatious but resoute
way, and did not allow the army of eyes which were
turned upon her, materially to interfere with the ma
donna composure Of her councnance.
The funniest part Of the affair that the Commissioner
does not think she is handsome low, and when enthu
sastic young gentlemen talk about her beauty, he
makes mouths, as though the grapes we're sour lie
tells, too, great many things about her, which will
be very interesting when he swears TO them before
some constituted tribunal that can print them.
He rays he is going to soon. We have held this
report back for two three days in order that it might
be read and pondered with that calness and freedom
from the excitement attendant the election which its
importance demands.
