In a Southern exchange paper we find the fol-
lowing:
"a School TEACHER KILLED by PuPrL-Mr.
Brawmer, school teacher, was fatally stabbed,
near Berlin, Ala, on the 18th inst 1t appears
that Brawmer undertook to chastise one of his
pupils, lad named Collins, about twelve years
old when the latter drew knife and in 6icted q
wound upon Brawmer. After he was stabbed, be
pursued the lad for a short distance but his
strength very soon gave out. and he fell dead
Collins made his escape"
! A Kentucky friend once told us Of school he
undertook to teach in Helena, Arkansas The
first operation almost on commencing his session,
was to search the desks of his pupils for deadly
weapons. We think that the number of loaded
revovers, which he said he found in the course of
his scrutiny, thirteen. The number of
knives, dirks and slung shot, We do not pretend to
remember. IL was horrible TO think Of, however.
These tender" youths pistols were more ready

pleasing task Of teaching the young idea" 30.
Think of u school house full of boys. each an
embryonic rufhan, loaded with knives and pistols,
reeking, doubtless, with whisky, and ready
to knife a "ngger, a Yankee school master or an
abolitiOnist sight"

paths and cursings, kept the public house."
where Olmsted was stopping, in an uprosr until
midnight. AT length traveller in another ROOM
cried out to the ucv and told him to stop or he
would come in and taKc care af him. Mr.. Ohm
sted then details the conversation which ensued,
and which the boy accompanied on his part by
the clicking of his revolver and opening and
shutting his knife, all the while swearing in oaths,
we dare not repeat. the most terrible vengeance
upon any man or person who would approach his
door. So this boy, IL years old, raved until he
ravcd himself into stupor, broken ever and anon
by dreamy blasphemy as he rolled about in his
sodden sleep, as we may we'll imagine just on the
verge of hell from which one might suppose him
an emanation.
The horror with which the news was received
some years ago in all parts of the country that
a Yale Professor had been murdered by u young
man from the South, who was student in that
College, will not soon be forgotten. This youth,
who was sent to wear out four years among the
classic shades of venerated Yale, one Of
Olmsteds boys grown up. Fortunately for that
great institution of learning she has now got rid
of q large proportion of her southern patronage.
This is an excellent thing, and we have no doubt

in our free Schools and Academies at the North.
feels relief in having thrown off the eumbrous
lead of insubord;r lion and wilfnness which thc
South poured upon her from year TO year. The
determined stand which the faculty of Yale ha 8
taken against Slavery and she "atmosphere of
treason" which hangs around Bunker Hill. Bos-
ton and Cambridge, have turned the Southern
''seekers for knowledge back upon their own col
leges. We hear of increasing number of ''stu-
dents,' and also OF protests from the Virginia
University against an address Of Henry Winter
Davis, who dared to speak in Congress against
border rufianism We hear of leo students
suspended in one institution of South Carolina.
Who is foolish to expect obedience to rules
and regulations in Society where might makes
right, and where the law of the red right hand
prevailos over the statutes in majority of cases
where the law comes in collision with the will of
