THERE AND HERE.

A young lady, sixteen years of age, was re-
Gently severely whipped by the teacher of a
public school in Cambridge, Mass, one teacher
infctiDg the punishment, while the pupil was
firmly held by two others. To drown the cries
of the victim, the piano was vigorously ham,
mered. Complaint having been made of the
gross outrage, the school committee decided
that the chastisement was in accordance with
the rules of the school This exploit was
achieved under the shadow of that Faneul
Hail. from whence has emanated such floods of
piety, prudery, precision and puritansm. The
sufferer a uhite woman. Had she been a
lusty and greasy corn. field weuch, the venerable
old building above alluded to would have been
damned with an indignant crowd of the modern
A:henians, and Charles Sumner would have
been specially summoned to condense the pub,
lie sympathy
At Medina, New Y ork the Rev. Mr. Lindsay
has whipped his little son, three gears old, to
death, for neglecting to say his prayers. The
child's fingers were broken and were bound
behind bis back, previous to interment, to es-
cape observation. The Reverend gentleman
had most probably been attached to the Freed
mems Bureau and was simply carrying into
practice the puritanical principles of his educa
ton and teachings. Fortunate child to have
escaped at SO tender an age, the paternal love
and care of its fanatieal father!
Here at the South we do knock down an in
solent negro occasionally, but only on great pro-
vocation, knowing full we'll what we shall suffer
in person and pockets. Such instances of OPP
preston and cruelty as We have recorded above,
have never yet however stained the fair charac-
ter of the Southern people Chester Standard
