took place yesterday afternoon between Bome half
dozen white lads and the male scholars attached to

down, aud were pursued to their sshool-Foom,
when their teacher, also colored, and a number OF
their parents, residing In the neighborhood, APP

persistent In their demands for Satisfaction, re-
fused to go away, and bid defiance TO all threats
made against them.
The scholars ORhe school had by this time gath

and feeling safe, gave Expressions TO Tepnrks by

the attack was renewed, TO stand by them. The
party on the defensive, however, did not make
their appearance again but delegated one OF their
