R1or At rHE. nERoaM SCHOOL.
Attempt to Burn ths County Jan.
Ths lbsence Of Mr.: Perkins, and the conse
quent attendance Of the Asslitant superInten'
dent, III. Wo.thinggton, has had>the effect to
brew trouble among ths inmates Of the Reform
School. Whether hs ,AssIatant had harsh1y
forcedalready existing rules, Or made new
ones deemed tyrannica1, We are unable to, Fay.
It IS reasonable to suppose, however, that that
gentleman had :leas powerful hold bn the
mfnds Of the boys than Mr.. Perkins, and that
they, took advantage Of the absence Of the Su-
perfutendent to revolt On Tuesday some Of
the inmates, for: refusal to comply with some
regulations Of the institution, were degraded,
or sent down to lover classes than they had
previously occupied. Some privileges uaualy
| granted to those whose conduct msrlted their
bestowal, were also withheld Asplan Of mu-
tiny was then concoctea by some of the more
bold and leading spirits, and It was resolved
to revolt, break through the laws and bid the
teachers defiance. Force was to be employed

1t seems that 1nsurrectionary movements in
our fciofmatory institutions go BY syclea.
On Saturday last, one Jesse May, imprisoned
for the term OF SIX months, at the last sitting
Of the 2. 8. Court, for violating the Post Of.
