nA~The male High School Of Lewistown
during the present term has had an ener-
getic teacher, who has accomplished what
no other one hid been able to effect, name
ly, govern lot of netoriously bad boys who
would neither set examples of obedience
nor suffer it in others. Such & teacher
must of course have his annoyances, among
which there is none we regard as more IN
furious to the welfare of the schools and
the future good of the children than the
interference Of parents for chastisements
which in nine cases out of ten are but too
we'll merited A case Of this kind occur
red on Tuesday, in which the question
arose whether the boy or the master should
rule. 1t was solved, as all others thus far
have resulted in that school, in favor of
the teacher, whereupon the father brings
suit AS the magistrate has seen proper
to bind over the teacher, we shall not pur-
sue these remarks at this time but we
trust, and many others with Us, that the
directors will stand by the master, aid his
defence, and thus show that they appreci-
ate the efforts of one who has done much
towards establishing order out of confusion.

Bsg~The snow noticed in our last as fall
ing when we went to press covered the
ground or 9 inches, making excellent
sleighlng. On Saturday we had about four
or FIVE inches of additional snow, followed
during the night and on Sunday by heavy
blow, drifting it badly. On Monday and
Tuesday it again moderated, the sun being
apparently in a melting mood, and yester-
day morning it commenced raining, much
to the sorrow of sundry bipeds, but to the
JOY of quadrupeds.
