Her mother immedlatel y sprang TO her as

A School TEACHER Cur TO PISCES IN

A School TEACHER Cur TO PIECES IN
TExAs.-A terrible affair took place about
eigh, miles east of GreenvilIe, Texas, on
the Sd ul,., between school teacher by
the name of Moore and man by The
name of Howard and his four sons. A
letter says:
"Moore undertook 10 chastise How
ards son, about IL years old, for writing
indecent language In young lady's copy
book. He had struck the boy but four or
five blows with a switch, when the boy s
brothers came into the school-house with
clubs, and one of them struck the teacher
with heavy club on the forehead ana
felled him TO the floor. The other struck
the teacher several times while down, ou'
the teacher recovered himself and got out
his pocke,-knife and drove them Out OF
the house. =,
"But at This iuncture the old man, two
other sons and Two son-in-laws arrived,
and the old man rushed into the house
with large dirk pocket knife. Moore
begged Howard 10 spare his life, telling
him he was then nearly dead. At this
time Moore had severe confusion on the
forehead, and was covered with blood.
But Howard, disregarding his entrealies,
rushed upon him and plunged his long
knife into him twice on his right side,
both of which wounds entered the cavity.
Moore broke from him. when Howard
cut him on the right shoulder, making
frightlul cash four inches long and 10 the
bone. With all his wounds, Moore broke
from the house and ran twenty rods. The
boys outside threw clubs al him rs he ran
one or two of which hit him.
"Moore was young man of slight make
and poor health, who had lately come to
the State. He was man OF uneXceP-
tionable character and successful teach

A Fire i'm HagerstOWn.

Ahont one o'clock on Wednesday
morning last, the citizens Of Hagersiown
were aroused from their slumbers by the
startling cry of Fire and The ringing OF
bells. 1t was soon discovered that the
extensive stabling in the. rear of Doyle's
Hotel, belonging TO Capt. John Dyer,
proprietor of the Hotel, and Thomas
Harbine, Esq, was on fire, and doomed
to destruction. The structure being en-
tlrely of wood, and filled with hay, the
flames ran over it with great rapldity, and
in few minutes il lay heap OF ruins.
heavy rain had fallen on The previous
evening, which saturated the surrounding
buildings, and prevented the fire from
spreading until our noble fremen could
bring their apparatus to bear upon It, Inc
house of MIR. Jonathan Jones, few ieet
from the burning stable on Jonathan street,
was in imminent peril, and for while
the sharks literally rained upon the dwell
Inns in Franklin street. There were
some thirteen or fourteen horses in the
Hotel stable, and in the morning the burnt
and charred remains of seven of them
were found among the ruins, the others
having been rescued. Four of the burnt
horses belonged to Messrs. Skinner and
'rrouselI, proprieiors of the stage line be-
tween Hagerstown and Chambersburg,
one TO Mr.. Tate of Gettysburg, one to
gentleman Of Sharpsburg, and one TO
Howard Pacely, of Sandy Hook; and the
whole seven are estimated TO have been
worth about one thousand dollars. There
was an insurance of $500 upon the sta
bling in one of the Baltimore Insurance
Companies, but this will not cover half
the loss. The total loss will not fall
short Of $4,000.
Some ten or fifteen minutes before this
fire broke out, the large frame and wealth
er-boarded stable attached TO Wright's
Hotel, in the rear of Potomac street, was
to be on fire by colored man,
named Ned Dorsey, who was sleeping in
The stable at the time. Having couple
of buckeis Of water conveniently he succeed
ed in extinguishing the flames before they
had time to make Roadway. The fire
was deposited from the outside into one of
the racks, and for lis timely and fortunate
discovery might have, in connection with
the other, produced conhagration which
would have destroyed half the town. Both
stables were SET on FIRE, and the Mayor
has offered reward of $500 for the ap-
prehension and conviction of the incen-
diary.--Hagerstoacn Herald.

An .RboHiion Humbug. Edward y.
Bunker, of Morgantown, Va, IN letter
TO the editor of the Richmond Enquirer,
dated July Is, 1857, says the statement
going The rounds in nearly all the papers
that Mr.. Lorriaux has secured 3, 600 acres
Of good lard for some five hundred French
Waldenses in Monongalla county Virgin
ia, at the low price of seventy-five cents
per acre, may be sci down as an Abolition
humbng. He has taken the pains to en-
qure in to the matter, and finds that MIR.
LoIriaux has purchased no land in that
county; and he also states, that good land
in that county cannot be purchased for
less than twenty-five or thirty dollars per
acre. This report was first started by
some Northern paper, and strange to say,
nearly all the Southern papers have cred
tied the story.
