SCHOOL DISCIPLINE IN GLoUCEsTER-Ac case
occurred on Tuesday a. one of the BOYS Win
ter Schools IN town, which illustrates our
IDEAS exactly. One of the scholars, quite n bug
fellow, who had been 10 the Bay, and felt
pretty independent, was in the habit of getting
Up and leaving the room Just when he pleased,
and aosenting himself as long as suited his
pleasure thereby breaking the rules Of the
school and setting q bad example. The teacher
demonstrated with him, but received insoIent
answers IN return, which terminated by daring
him 20 punish him. The master, a Young
man Of good pluck, and who thoroughly uu-
dersiands his duties, looked his pupil straight
N the eye, and informed him that all he re-
CURED was obedience 10 the school regulations
and this he was determined TO have, no matter
how large the scholar was. Further inso-
ience followed, and IL became necessary for
The teacher 10 make practical illustration of
what be meaRt. The refractory pupil showed
fight, when The teacher, finding that he must
either subdue him or be subdued, administered
some telling blows on the lads Uranium, which
brought the claret, also sc veral OF his comrades
10 their feet, disposed TO interfere The master
eoolly Informed them that II they laid their
HANDS on him he would sprely stra ghter them
ont, and put himself IN POSITION to do so. Thew
saw he was IN earnest, and concluded not 10
carry out their design.-Cape Ann Advertiser.

A HEROIC HUNTER.-LOrdS st. Maur,
second son of the Duke of Somerset,
lately died in India, in consequence OF
a tightwith abear, while hunting. He
suddenly came across the animal, at
which he fired his pistol, lodging the
contents in the animals breast. 1t
then attacked him, when drawing
sheathed knife, his lordship thrust 1t
into the bear, inficting amortal wound.
In the scuffie, however, they had 10th
approached a precipiCe over which
they together fell. Here the beateIs
came up and relieved Lord st. Maur
from his adversary. His presence Of
mind did not forsake him, and he wrote
with a pencil on the sheath OF his
knife (having no other appliances,} to
his fellow sportsmen, informing them
of his c0ndition.-ThCy having arri-
we'd. a great difficulty was experienced
as to removing him from the ravine in
to which he had fallen. Amputation
of the leg was resolved upon, to which
the sufferer submitted heroically. lie
soon, however, began to sink from the
combined Effects Of the operation and
the shock his system had sustained,
and died.

A MISSIONARY 'S ADVENTURE WITH
CANIBALs.-An English missionary,
who describes life in New Zealand in
the last number of Hours at Home, re-
lates an incident that occurred TO hlm
on one of the South Pacific Islands.
While on a cruise, he touched at a
small island for fresh fruit and vegeta-
bles. OF these lie obtained a full sup
ply, and was about leaving, when
chief asked him if he would like sCme
fresh food. Says the missionary
'sThinking that doubtless they had
hogs, l saidyes; lie gaveaquick glance
around him. as if he were looking for
a messenger, and singled out and call
ed to fine young lad, apparently about
Is years of age. The boy came and
stood before him; and before | knew
what he was about TO do, and having
my back turned TO him, heard the
sound as of heavy blow, and looking
quickly round, found the still culver
ing body of the boy laid at my feet,
with the words, AeUi dno te kdt.' is
that food sufficient for you?1 Horror
stricken. denounced most bitterly the
deed, and leaving all the provisions
behind on the ground, returned sor-
rowfully on board"

time taken from seven to eight hours

FAVORITEs.-Says Il sensi. lie writer,
II have ever found that men who are
really most fond of the society of ladies,
who cherish for them high respect,
nay, reverence them, are seldom most
popular with the sex. Men of more
assurance, whose tongues are lightly
hung, who make words supply the
place of ideas, and place compliment in
the room Of sentiment, are the favor
ties. 4 true respect Tor women leads
to respectful action towards them and
respect is usually distant action, and
MS great distance is taken by them for
Neglect and want Of interest"
