LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

DISTURBING A DISTRICT School. Monday
Of this week Monroe Estey, Henry Davis, and Levi
Ieffron, were brought before Royal Tyler, ESQ.,,
complaint of the town grand juror of Brattlcbo-
no, under the act of 1864, charging them with hav-
ing maciously and wlfully disturbed the school
in District No. !, the list instant. The act I'M
der which the prosecution was had places offences
in violation Of the same beyond the jurisdiction Of
the Justice to try he can only hold offenders for
trial before higher tribunal; accordingly the re-
spondents ordered by the Court to give bonds
FOR their appearance at the April Term of the Coun-
ty Court in the Of $25 each, which order they
complied with.
The following are the most material facts in the
case the respondents have been members of the
School in District No. Is in this town, but the
morning of Januaay LIST, these boys were notified
by the prudential committee Of their expulsion from
the School and notice thereof also given to their
parents and guardians provided for by the print
ell bylaws Of the district. This notice was given
the respondents by the Committee at the School
house in the morning and before the School COM
menced; but the notice to the parent Of Estey and
guardian Of lletfron Was not received by him un-
I'll after they had eft for School On the afternoon
of that day and after notice, before stated. Of
their expulsion, the respondents went into the
School in defiance Of the authority Of the pruden-
tial committee, aud conducted themselves in dis
orderly manner by going out of the house several
times without leave from the teacher and return
ing again; and by moving about in the house in
dsrespect Of the teacher and annoyance Of the
school. Offences Of this character. when commit
ted ny scholar, should more properly fall within
the province of the teacher to correct but the teach
er did not regard them any longer members of his
School, and did not attempt to regulate their con-
duct. The Court held that after expulsion by the
Committee and notice to the respondents. the rela-
ton between teacher and scholar no longer existed
and that these offences came within the statute
We trust that this very proper example will have
its due effect in subduing the tendency to lawles.-
