THE THIRD DISTRICT SCHOOL EXHIBITION, which
took place on Friday at the Fillmore Schoolhouse,
was actually an exhibition worth the seeing We
had but one fault to ind and that was, the INSULT
cheney Of the exhibition hall to accommodate even
half the people who attended,
The hall was tastefully decorated with evergreen,
and the smiling school girls and boys were tricked
out in their best, usual on such occasions. The
spectacle was very pleasing one. There were pres

keep things right; Miss Mactier, as marshal to the
High School girls; Mr.. Gordon, as marshal to his
High School boys; Mr.. Morse, to lead the singing
and Hoeffner and his capital band, to aid the singing
and give general eclat to the occasion. Among the
spectators we noticed numerous kind-faced matrons
and wtching maids, connected with the educational
interest Teachers love to visit each others exami-
nations and exhibitions, for reason which may be
| readily guessed.
An overture by the orchestra began the exercises.

An Incident Of 1919.

In speech delivered at Newark, Judge
Conrad, of Philadelphia, in answer to
charge Of cowardice made against Gener'
al Scott, produced document, which was
sworn to several years since, as part evi-
dence on pension claim. This was the
evidence of soldier at Lundy's Lane,
who stated in his affirmation that General
Scott, after be was wounded, rode to the
line where the soldiers were stationed,
his neck, breast and arm in gore Of blood
which ran down his leg and trickled from
his foot upon the ground, and said to the
commander Of the line, II am very veal
4 want one ofyour young men to gel
up behind me and hold me on my horse. y
A young pan threw down musket, and
at one spring leaped upon the horse, en-
closing the General in his arms, and they
slowly galloped away to the main body ol
the army" The excitement produced BY
reading this document was thrilling in the
extreme. The hundreds present rose to
their feet and gave most vehement cheers,
so that it was some minutes before the
speaker could proceed.

| "A CAUTloN TO IoCNG MEN-A young
medical student from Michigan, who had
been attending lectures in New York for
some time, and considering himself ex.
ceedingly good looking and fascinating,
made deadly onset on the heart and for
tune Of a blooming young lady who was
boarding in the same house with him.
After prolonged seige the lady surren-
dered. The same afternoon the "young
wife, sent for and exhibited to the aston
ished student "beautiful little daugh-
ter three and half years Of age.
"Good heavens! then you were vid~
ow," exclaimed the astonished student.
eyes, my dear, and this is Amelia, my
youngest /; tomorrow Augustus, James
and Reuben will arrive from the country,
and then shall have all my children to-
gether once more"
The unhappy student replied not a
word; his feelings were too deep for ut
terance. The next day the "other dar-
lings" arrived. Reuben was six years
old, james nine. and Augustus saucy
boy of twelve. They were delighted to
hear that they had "new papa" be-
cause they could now live at home and
have all the playthings hey wanted =
The "new papa" as soon as he could
speak remarked that Augustus and James
did not much resemble Reubea and. Anne
lia.
"We,l, no. said the happy mother ;
"my first husband was quite a different
style Of man from my second--complex-
ion, temperament, color Of hair and eyes
all different"
This was too much. He had not only
married widow, but was her third hus-
band, and the astounded step father Of
four children.
"But her fortune" thought he, "that
will make amends" He spoke Of her for
tune.
: "These are my treasures" said she,
in the Roman matron style, pointing to
her children.
The conceit was quite taken out Of the
Michigander, who finding that he had
made complete goose Of himself, at once
retired to farm in his native State, where
he could have chance to render his
s.boys" useful, and make them sweat for
the deceit practiced upon him by their
mother.

TOO sHAMEFULLY TRUE,

TOO SHAMEFULLY TRUE.
Wendell Phillips, in the course Of "a re-
cent lecture on "Theory and Practice" 4"
at Boston, referred to custom Of law
courts, not merely in our "Athens," but
throughout our whole country. 1t is
most shameful and most true that the sys.
tenn ofexamining witnesses, and impeach-
ing their characters that the weight Of
their evidence may be destroyed. is a
great abuse in the hands Of most legal
lists. Go into any Of the little county
courts and notice the shrewd practice Of
the Buzfuzzes and Bigwigs; how they
badger, bully, ,sand insult the timid people
whose misfortune it is to be summoned to
the witness stand and you will behold a
piece Of barbarity, which you will not
care often to sec. And the same thing is
permitted in all our courts, from the pub
lie tribunal up. But here is what Mr.
Phillips says:
In the same way the bench shows its
adherence to that European tradition
which looks down upon the people. The
bar borrows its maxims from an obsolete
or unacceptable form Of Government
There was in the old country day that
to be witness in favor Of one who was
accused, was in subsidiary way 10 incur
the belief Of being also criminal. and
witnesses were treated like brutes. To-
day the lawyers Of our country, trained
in that old school. never making them
selves acquainted with the civilization Of
this American people, are also brutes to
witnesses. Not one Of us but would rath-
er give hundred dollars than see sis.
ter or wife or female relative placed
on the stand to be outraged by bar Of
gentlemen in the presence Of bench call
ing themselves gentlemen.
Once, in Boston, servant girl, gentle
and honest, saw transfer Of money, and
some fraudulent: affair occurring in con-
nection with it, she was summoned. in her
timidity and innocence, into Boston
Court Of gentlemen. She gave her testi'
mony trutbfully and well. Then there
arose to cross question her, one born Of
one Of the best families, a lawyer possess
ing all scholarly requirements, graduate
Of Harvard and pink Of fashion. He
knew of no rebuke from any bench. So
be proceeded TO insinuate the vilest in
suits that ever man uttered to a woman,
and asked such questions till the poor girl
almost tainted. Yet that court ofgentle-
men never said word of rebuke. The
poor girl went home almost heartbroken,
to hold down her head for years at the re-
membrance Of that injustice and insult
The lawyer went to large city to obtain
wider field for his talents, and he sleeps
tonight in druukard's grave-too good
for such brute as he was.-( Hearty
arplause.)
And to-day the bar knows not why it
should not by insinuation and question
put upon the brightest character a foul
blot, and often witnesses are treated as
badly as in the days Of Jeffries and Of e.
lenborough.
