An Eccentric Teacher.

y
" The New York correspondent Of the
Syracuse Jossr7sa1, in abiding to the recent
death of Professor Anthem, says:
In the learned world he win be missed
and lamented, but perhaps no man, who
has for so many years occupied so high a
place among scholars, and whose name is
so familiar through the country, could die
and be less regretted socially, than DR.. An
IthonE He was quite as remarkable for his
aversion for society as for his scholarship.
He never Married. rwo sisters, also I'M
married, kept house for him hut suchwas
the incompatibility of temper between
them, that the Professor had a separate Ia
BILE set for himself He hated men, and he
hated women, but he loved boys, after a
pedagogue's fashion. He had singular
way of unbendiDg in the class room. There
fhl he was always genial, kindly, and s. times
even ioviai; but out of the classroom he
was always bear. He logged his boys
numerically, and often unjustly. He was
accustomed to stand at the foot of the stair
way as the boys filed down to'recitation,
regarding them with. the grim precision of
a drillsergeant. Catching the eye of this
and the other lad, he would motion him to
leave the procession and retire to a seclu
,ded room. The victims obeyed with true
forebodings of what was coming. In a
few minutes the Professor would appear,
rattan in hand, and, beginning with the
nearest boy, would go through the lot, ask
ing no questions till the flogging was over,
whenehe would give the victim a. chance
to Justify himself, OF course he /, often
punished boys without the shadow of
pretext, but then HE would say, encourag-
ingly, 9 Well, meyer mind you didn't de-
serve it this time tits true, : Set it down
for some time wien you do deserve it and
escape detection" IN this way he did sub

ever SO carefully conducted, will always
bring down prices by jolts, like running a
barrow down flight Of stairs & 4
But these evils are the necessary counter
parts of the exhilarations of imitation and
must be borne. A man feels; ,gloriously
when he is getting drunk, though it is
somewhat different with him when he is
getting sober but it is better to get. sober
with. a sore head than to keep drunk Tor
ever; and, the longer man keeps drunk
the sorer WILDE his head when he does
getsober. r 1t is verymuch the same when
business gets drunk on currency. we can
that there will be no sensible decline in
prices from a contraction of currency
for some time to come, whether we regard
1t as desirable or otherwise"

A FrIghtfuI Mystery.

On Tuesday evening last, avery gay
party of young ladies and gentlemen. some
from this city, the remainder residing IN
the vicinity of that place, were ASSEM- bled
at the residence of Mrs. A. L. Hebron, the
respected widow of the late Colonel j ohm
Hebron, near Bovina, in this county The
evening passed off most pleasantly, and
the usual amusements of dancing, were
mingled with music, conversation, and the
promenade beneath a moon of dazzling
splendor, when the "wee small hours"
warned the delighted guests that their
pleasant evening was at an end.
Within tho brief space of time that has
elapsed since those glad young spirits part
ed Wednesday morning, seven have uttered
their last "good night" and have passed
beyond the river Of death; twelve others
are stililI and someof them, we regretto
say, are quivering between life and death,
tottering on the very brink of the grave.
Among those who have already perlshed,
we note the names Of Miss Rebecca He
bron, Miss Ellen Tribble, Mr.. James Bill
lingslea, William Tribbles Hal Wilkins,
Thornton Streshly, and Allen .Auter.
Those now i'll are Miss Mollie Downing, of
this city,; Miss Victoria Bachelor, and
Miss Viola Brabston, of the Boyina neigh
Fborhood; and ,Messrs. Joseph and Alex.
Johnston, brothers, Granville Hicks, An:
drew and Henry Bolles, brothers, "a. @.
Brooks, Capt. j.; NJ Bachelor Henry
,Brabston, and VIM. Hunter. - -, f,,4a
T All the parties were similarly affected,
and each had, we learn, strong symptoms
of cholera; but we understand that the
medical gentlemen in attendance concur in
the. opinion that the guests at the party
were poisoned, possibly having some poi
sonoiis substance administered III some por-
tom of the foodg Tins opinion is strength
ened by the report that such. guests as did
not participate in the lighter refreshments
of the evening -cakes, ices and confec-
itions--have experienced no inconve nince.
We trust, the, affair will be thoroughly inr
yestigated, to the end that if so horrible q
crime as poisoning a;slarge party Of inno-
cent young ladies and gentlemen has been
committed, the guilty perpetrators of the
atrocity may be brought to condign pun
In addition to Che a names of those o5 we p
have mentioned, I'VE learn that FIVE serv
ants have died from the same cause, and
with the same general symptoms, and it, is
q suspicious fact that each Of those servants
accompanied some of the guests in the Ca
.pacity ofpersonal attendants Solar as
we learn, none of the servants employed
in the house of the esteemed lady hostess,
Mrs Hebron, have suffered in any way.
As aamatter of course, IthereIare many ru!
mors in regard to this mysterious and mel
Vancholy affliction, but at present we forbear
to publish them ~ - 10 2aN''''
Our whole community is greatly grieved
and excited by this sad affair, and the sud.
den death of SO many young persons, and
the dangerous illness Of SO many more, all
highly respected, and members of our most
esteemed families, has cast q universal
gloom over our citizens. - acksbury Times,

How a Man Feels When being

p" A correspondent of the Missouri Demo-
crdt writes from Omaha stating that the
remains Of some of those who were mas
sacred by the Indians who threw train
off the track and set it ON fire had arrived
there, and on the same train was man
named William, Thompson, native of
England, who turned out to be one Of the
telegraph repairers reported killed. He
attracted a great deal OF attention from the
fact that be had been scalped. He appeared
to be suffering horribly, and was very
weak from loss of blood. He had received
"a gaping wound in the, neck, and a bullet
in the muscle of the right arm. A physi-
clan attended TO his wounds. In a pail of
water was, his scalp, about nine inches in
length and four in width, somewhat re-
sembling q drowned. rat, as it foated,
curled up on the water. His statement
was as follows:
- "About nine clock Tuesday night, my.
self and five others left Plum Creek sta

he fired, the bullet entering my right arm.
Seeing me still running he knocked me
down with his gun. q He then stabbed me
in the neck with his knife, and then catch
ing hold of my hair he commenced saving
and hacking away at my scalp. Though
the pain was awful, and felt dizzy and
sick, knew enough to keep quiet. After
what seemed Ito, me a half an hour, he
gave the last finishing cut to the scalp, on
my left temple, and as It still hung little

that should have screamed my life out.

It's charcoal is of a superior quality, and
it's ashes rich in potash. Its wood burns
well when green, and every branch and
limb may be cut into stove wood, leaving
no brush on the ground. The wood is
hard and of fine grain, and well fitted
for cabinet making. Sooner or later our
