Who'll take a cent and do without his
supper

the prize.
The cid man pulls out pocket book full
of red cents which he keeps for the occa-

them off to bed.

The scandalous Whipping of
the Young Lady at Cam
bridge, Massachusetts,.


The Boston Herald gives the par,icu-
lars Of the whipping of Miss Josephine
Foster, by the principal and assistant
teachers Of the Allston school, at Cam.
bridge. From the statsmss. Of the young
lady it appears that one week ago last
Thursday, in the forenoon, Will. she waa
engaged in writing, Mr.. Roberts, the
principal Of the school, spoke to her
about sitting up straight. he then told
her not to write any more until his orders
were given to do SO; aud she was soon
ordered to go down to the foot Of the class
and to stand there until she got ready to
come to him. In tie afternoon she was
called up by one of the assistant teachers,
Mas Iodgs', who asked her about vhis.
perirg with another scholar, as Miss
Gray, another teacher, said she saw her
whisper. She was then sent into the
recitation room, where Miss Hodges took
rattan and said II am going to whip
you" She was then sent into the bows
drawing room, whore the two teachers
again came in and we're about to whip
her with the rattan, but she refused to
hold out her right hand.
At recess the teachers hold a consulta-
ton together in relation to the matter,
aud Miss Gray came into the room with
a long leather strap and said, 81 am
going to whip YOU" She then called
fahss Hodges to help do the strappinU,
! scame aud they held her arms, shoul,
dsrs and head, with one hand upon her
mouth. She screamed, when Mr.. Roberts
came and took hold Of her wrists and
SHOULDERS and told Miss Gray 10 strap
her, which was Gole fftssu or twenty
times.
After the punishment, one of the teach,
ers said, ''lst US open the windows and
get some air; let us &c. some water."-
While the strspping va. going on the
boys iu the school room were ordered to
60 through military drill Of marching
and the music teacher played the piano.
Miss Fosters little brother went home
crylsg, and Informed his mother that
Josephine bad been whipped aud was
detained at the school house. Mrs. Fos,
ter went TO tho school house and saw
Mr.. Roberts aad the teachers, but could
got no satisfaction or facts 10 relation 10
the whipping.
SIZE took charge Of her daughter, and
on getting home the latter's wrists were
red and swollen. and there were other
marks upon her person, and sbe suffered
greatly during the night from the effecta
Of the whipping. Miss Foster is rather a
delicate youn g lady. sixteen years Of age,
and has always borne an sxcsIlen, name
among the school girls for her quiet,
genial disposition. She has also been q
good pupil at the Allst on school, as was
shown at the examination at the City
Hall on the Thursday night.
B. w. Roberts, the principal Of the
school, i. member of,h Baptist church,
and has besusa teacher for scms ears.
He has had trouble with the parents of
the children attending the Allston school
in relation to the severe punishment Of
pupils.
The case is not probably ended by the
examination before the school com mit,es
on Thursday night, as the counsel of Mr..
Foster will lay the facts before the grand
jury OF Middlesex county, at Concord,
on Monday next
