VERpIor OF JUny OF BOYS. When Dr. Ma
thauel Prentice taught q public school in Rox-

patience at times would get very much exhausted
by the infractious OF the school rules by the
scholars On one occasion, in rather worthy
way, he threatened to punish with six blows OF
heavy ferule the first boy detected in whisper
ing and appointed some as deteetors. Shortly
after one of these dctectors shouted:
" Master, John Zeigler Is whispering ]"
John was called up and asked IT 1t was fact.

teacher and schoolmates)
"Yes,p answered John 81 was not aware

The doctor regretted his hasty threat, but told
John that he could not suffer him to whisper or
escape the punishment, aud continued

of my authority. will, he continued, :" leave
1t to any three scholars you may choose, to say

John said he was agreed to that, and immedi-
ately called out G. S., r. d., and ID. Z. d. Tho
doctor told them to return virdict, which they
soon did (after consultation) as follows:
"The masters word must be kept inviolate-
John must receive the threatened six blows OF
the ferue but IL must be inflicted on voluntary
proxies-and we the arbitrators, will share the
punishment, by receiving each of us two of the
blows"
John who had listened to the verdict, stepped
up to the doctor, and, with outstretched hand,
exclaimed
Master, here is my hand they shan't be
struck blow | will receive the punishment" ;"
The doctor, under pretense Of wiping his face,
shielded his eyes, and telling the boys to so to

he did think of it to his dying day, but the pun
ishment was never inflicted.

the utter failacy of secession, and the mag

His great ability and scholarship, which no
one has ever questioned, of course greatly
increased the power of the GRAFTON. Re.

tariffs, he showed how their great cotton in
tcrest had been prot ,cted and fostered 10
its infancy at the expense OF the north

In fact he talked as many of US have for

which the madness of the slave power and
their northern doughiaces could invent
