DISTRESSING CASE OF School GIRL PUNISH
MINT, RESULTING IN DEATH.-Accordng to the
statement OF a correspondent of the Hartford
COurant. a little girl, nine years old, attending
public school in Manchester, Conn, having
failed to recite her geography lesson perfectly
on Thursday, was required on Friday to re-
peat the lesson for that day and the day be-
fore. She failed again, and as a punishment
was required to stand on the floor i'm a IAss-
age way, where there was draft of cold air,
while she learned it. She stood there for
an hour, and afterwards was compelled to
stand in the school room five hours longer till
she learned Thursdays lesson, and for an hour
more, trying to learn Fridays, and was not re-
leased until some time after the other scholars
had been sent home. She is said to have been
full of health and spirits on Friday morning;
but on Saturday her legs began to swell. and
she suffered intensely soon becoming deiriOus,
trying to repeat the lesson which was the Occa-
sion of her punishment, and begging of her
teacher leave to take her seat After few days
of this agony she died. An investigation bv the
School Committee was demanded and held, the
committee simply finding that the teacher was
guilty of an error in judgment.

How to stop a Paper.

The following, from one Of our ex-
changes, SO fully and clearly expresses
our views upon the subject, that we
copy it without comment:
You have an undoubted right to stop
a newspaper whenever You are disposed !,
upon payment of all arrearages. Do
not hesitate to do so on account of any
tenderness of feelings" for the editor
Don't you suppose he would stop buy
ing sugar Of you, or meat, clothing. dry
goods, DC, If he thought he was not
getting Ii. moneys worth2 and why
should you not exercise the same priv
ilege with regard to him end his wares,
when you get tired of them2 And when
you discontinue q paper, do so manfully.
Don't be SO pitiful as to throw back to
the postmaster with contemptuous II
don't want it any longer!" and have re-
fused written upon the margin and have
the paper returned to the editor. No
gentleman ever stopped paper in that
way no matter if his head is covered
with grey hairs that should be honora-
BILE. If you do not wish longer to re.
ceive newspaper, write q note to the
editor like man saying so-and be
sure that arrearages are paid. That is
the way to stop newspaper.

shock down your limbs till it vOids
itself through the extremities. You
may stand in the burning sunshine with

sharp pain is instantly dulled. Your

are painfully stimulated; you fear every

the disorder of your imagination will
