JOSH BILLINGS LECTURE.-We must,
in common with most of the audience
at Washington Hall last night, confess
to feeling of disappointment. While
it was altogether Josh Billingsey-
should wesay Billingsgate lit was not
what we expected. Instead of fresh,
red hot, dashing lecture, it was gener-
al gathering together of his published
papers on the flea, the cockroach, the
frog, the raccoon and other animals, de-
livered, to be sure, with some snap and
JUNCTION, and containing one excellent
point on the subject of boils. We are
glad for the Literary Association that
Josh's lecture came first, for they have
so many better lecturers to come that he
and our disappointment will be forgot
ten before the season is over. A few
such lectures as Olive Logan's, the Fat
Contributors and Anna Dickinson's
will rub out Josh Billings.

SCHOOL DEMONSTRATING the last
term and already in this, complaints are
in circulation of excessive punishment
in the public schools, and we have been
requested TO give the teachers elbow
ing up" about it. If there is teacher
that whips the boys of this town too
much, we would like to see that teacher.
He might apply the beech from the
rising of the sun until to going down
thereof, and then would not have
whipped too much. The boys who re-
ceive punishment generally merit it.
They are the boys who, after school
hours amuse themselves in the delight
full and delicate operation of throwing
stones, of shouting cut obscene and
filthy words and of making nuisances of
themselves generally. They are the
boys who Saint doin' nothin" and al
ways do. 1t isn't in the pins to whip
them too much. We know from ex-
perience that good boys rarely catch the
rod. We were always considered the
worst pill in the box, when a boy, one
whs could invent and carry ont more
pure cussedness than any boy of our
inches in the district and we always
managed to hive our regular rations of
whippings. But why should parents
and guardians take the boys statement
of unlimited punishment and rush into
print with it without first having ascer-
tanned the tru til in the premises,
Without assuming the championship
of the schools in this matter we cannot
but deprecate such action. The super
intendent and the school board are
charged with the investigation of just
such complaints, and the editors of the
city papers have nothing whatever to
with it, or to say about it..

TERRIBLE DEATH.-Yesterday after
noon about four o'clock boy named
Williams Burns, aged abour ten years,
while trying to get on the stock train,
drawn by engine No. las, fell under the
wheels of the cars and was crushed into
an almost shapeless mass. His right
arm was cut off; his head was nearly
severed from his neck, and his body was
terribly mutilated. The accident &C.
Cured near Lancaster's cooper shop,
near the Belmont Mill. An inquest was
held on the remains by Squire Clohan,
who summoned N. Resster, foreman, j,
B. Trimble, G. C. Trimble, c. Carney,
D. Savoy, j. Farrell, A. Thomas, G. o.
born, Geo. Andrews, F. Nedimire, V,
Ballenger and L. Murphy as jurors
They found that the deceased came to
his death by being run over by stock
train on the B. & o. railroad. The re-
mains were taken to the residence Of
the little fellows parents in Centre
Wheeling. Here is another terrible
warning to boys to avoid climbing oil
cars while they are in molten.
