HARBAEsTTIES IN \ CONNECTE-
CUT SCEOOLROOG.
FROM the Hartford COGralt,

A few days ago brief item appeared
in the CO,Tu1t referring to the treatmen-
Of Il little girl by n -chooi teacher, the Sc
verify of the punishment, il being sup
posed, causing the death Of the child. II
was then stated that the Board of School
Visitors had CXOnCTatCd the teacher: but
this statement was incorrect The pun
ishment occurred in one of the district
schools in the town of Manchester, and
the teacher who inflicted il is a young wu-
man named Emcrcttc Campbell. Among
her scholars was a girl named Wheeler,
aged about eight years, and this little girl,
together with two others, was deficient in
her geography lesson. There were GER
tain questions which the child could not,
or did not answer, and Miss Campbell, be
lieying this inability arose from willfumess,
told the child to stand upon the floor of the
school room till the replies were given,
adding that the punishment would be con
tinued until the lesson was properly Tecit-
ed. The little girl did as she was hidden,
and was kept upon the floor during por-
ton of the morning exercises, all through
the noon recess, with the exception of a
few moments allowed her 10 leave the
room, and it is stated all the afternoon
making in all nearly five hours
This punishment would have been more
than most grown people could have en-
dured; but for 4 child of eight years, and
one of very nervous temperament at that,
it was carrying the authority of the school
room altogether too far. The sequel
proves this When the little one returned
to her parents that night, she was in
high state of excitement and very soon
the shock to her system resulted in a
high brain fever, in which she fingered
about As hours and diedl During most
of the time of her sickness she was de
lrious, and cried out constantly in heart
rending tones, Don't let herl don't let
herr referring all the time to the
teacher, whom she seemed to imagine was
following her. In her more rational mo
ments she spoke peacefully, and asked
her parents repeatedly, "When will Jesus
come ~ evidently realizing that she was
drawing nearer home.
These are the main facts as they trans
piTed. The case is one which called for
the 49, rigid investigation, and the
Board 81 school Visitors at once took il
in hand, and win probably make their re
port soon. Ii is said that the parents,
acting in their own behalf, will institute
criminal proceedings, though nothing can
now bring comfort to their grief-stricllcn
hearts.

A DOMESTIC PICTURE.

Yes, there's another of EN- upstairs now.
L knowed it, cause papa told me must
be quiet, and sit down in the corner with
my books, and mustn't play ball nor ask
Willie Smart to come in and help me put
my new puzzle together. Then there's a
cross nurse that's always scolding me for
getting IN her way, no matter where l get.
Besides, Miss Gadall was here to-day, and
she took me on her knee, patted me on the
back Just like the cook when Tn choking
and said my nose was another degree out
of JOINT; but / know better, for this Is the
third time she has told me SO, and it is no
more out of joint than 1t ever was Shes
a hateful goggled-eyed old maid-thats
what she is
saw it, too. It's got a little, round,
red head, without any hair, with great,
deep wrinkles instead or eyes, and when it
cries 1T opens its mouth as though it meant
to swallow itself Pa helped me upon the
side of the bed, and told me TO kiss my dear
pretty little sister; and when | wouldn't,
and called it a horIid ugly little thing, he
said was a naughty boy, and then nurse
shook me, and SAID ! ought to be ashamed.
l didn't get to kiss my ma at ALL l knew
better than TO try it, for once, when another
baby came, L climbed up on the bed, and
putting my arms around her neck, Rugged
and kissed her; but all the time l had my
right knee on the bab's head; so l was
whipped, and put IN my CRIB without any
supper because didn't know it was there
Little Annie thinks it's nice to have new
sister, but she was the baby before and
don't know anything about it. / can re-
member long, long ago, ma used to call me
her d" sweet little darling, and pa handled
me on his foot, and said was ''fine fel-
low, and aunt Julia declared that | was a
perfect little angel, but then Tom came,
and all my pretty toys were given to him
cause he was the baby, and L was cuffed and
scolded by everybody 'cept grandma, and
she's good TO me yet, though there's been
two other new ones since.
L wonder where all the babies come from
Ma says the Lord sends them. wish He
wouldn't send any more to our house
we've got monen enough now 1t might
be nice for them if they could stay
little always, but they have TO grow big at
ter awhile, and then amt no better Off than
the rest Of folks. ] rather think if l was
baby I'd ask the Lord to send me where I'd
not grow any bigger, and then Id have
nothing TO do but to lie on my back, and
chew my toes, and have folks say was the

A Practical APPLICATION OF THE
SCRwTUREs.-NichOlas Waine, though a
regular Quaker preacher, was a great wag,
and many are the good things said by him
which are still current in certain Phila-
delphia circles. He was once travelling
on horseback in the interior ofPennsylvania
in company with two Methodistpreachers.
They discussed the points of difference in
their respective sects, until they arrived at
the inn where they were to put up for the
night. At supper, Waine was seated be-
tween the two McthOdists, and before
them was placed plate containing two
trout Each of the circuit riders placed
his fork in a fish and transferred il to his
plate, after which each shut his eyes and
said an audible grace before meat The
Quaker availed himself of the opportunity
to transfer both of the trout to his own
plate, merely remarking, when the Others
opened their eyes. "Your religion teaches
you TO pray, but mine teaches me both to
watch and pray"

THE Macon (Mo.) Journal is in

found at Fayette a young man by the
name of Fields, II years old, and entirely
ignorant of letters or figures, who could

lem given. The number of flax seed
necessary to reach to the sun, allowing
six grain of flax seed to one grain of wheat,
and 10 grains of wheat to the inch: An
swer, 400, 497, 600, 600, 900, given in two
minutes. What would So, amount to
in 10 years, compromising interest at 10

three minutes, absolutely correct, although
he had to carry a score of decimal frac-
lions. What would horse bring, there
being 80 nails in his shoes, allowing three
cents for the first, six for the second, nine,
81, 81, and so OnY This required 80 dis
tinct multiplications, and run up into tril-
lions, yet he did it in three minutes. These
examples win suffice to show his wonder
full power. He is very ignorant on all
other matters; never learned his letters,
and does not know one figure fromanother.
He is very mcouth in appearance, and has
no faith in his fellows. He can do any
thing in mental arithmetic, even in com

his appointment to his chair, rector Of an
academy in Forfandslire. He was par
ticularly reserved in his intercourse with
the fair sex; but, in prospect of obtaining
a professorship, he ventured to make pro-
posais to lady. They were walking to-
gether, and the important question was
put without preliminary sentiment or note
of warning. OF course the lady replied
gentle 'Noi" The subject was immedi-
ately dropped; but the parties soon met
again. 'Do you remember" at length
said the lady, ga question which you put
