The Regiaer recently referred 10 some
difficulties in Greenbrier county, growing
out of whN that journal was pleased to
style violations of the enforcement act by
the Registrars and Supervisors, but did
not enter into particulars. The offence OF
these officers consisted in the refusal OF
the former TO register persons who were
not entitled to register on account OF
their participation in the rebellion, and
in the refusal OF the latter to count the
votes OF persons not registered whose
votes had been received, under in;imida-
ton, in violation OF the registry law and
State Constitution. We have learned re-
Gently from an authentic source some OF
the facts attending these difficulties, aud

CHIEF OFFICE:

RIIHIS Society, which confines its bust
a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that OF
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk Of life in the West Indies, and sufi-
Gent 10 create large SURPRISES, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
% per cent per annum upon the amour
assured have been distributed among Il g
Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period of 30 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.
. The following abridged Table shows
the Premiums required to assure 500,
or the whole term, upon a single life:-
, 1870-11-15

Assurances of every description on sin
gle lives are granted by the Society for
any sum from 500 DolIarsto 10, Dollars.
Premiums are received Quarterly, Half
yearly or Yearly, at the option of the
Assured.
Assurers wishing to discontinue the
payment Of their Premiums, may either
dispose of their Policies to the Society
upon equitable terms, or obtain a free
Policy for a reduced amount.
Loans are granted to Members on the
Security of their Policies.
All claims occurring by death are
promptly met within 3 months after salts
factory proof of such death has been re-
ceived by the Society.
Strict Investigations into the position
of the Society are made fundamentally,
and the surplus then existing is allotted to
the Members, after a sufficient sum has
been set aside for the purposes of the
Reserve Fund. The next investigation
and Division of Profits, will take place at
the 31st December, 1870.
The Society has Agencies in nearly all
Of the British West India Islands.

about or the scene of devastation around
them, The authorities, backed by th
more prominent and wealthy citizens,
Immediately set about succouring the
houseless, who were gathered into the
public buildings and other large edifices
and TO have their immediate wants sup
piled. The volunteers patroolled the
streets lmpreservation of order, and de-
tails were set to work to collect and bu-
ry the bodies of the dead. Many were
the heart-rending scenes which presented
themselves in this search for bodies A
man, whose wife and six children had
been swept to death before his eyes, ca
gerly glanced along the line of mutilated
cOrpses in search of the remains of his
lost ones, unacceptable, though there,
to the keenest eyes from which affection
ever looked. Another had lost four chill
dren his all another his wife, who had
been torn away from him in the fearful
struggle with The waters. II held her
as long as | could" he ~piteously exclaim-
ed. Everywhere were seen fearful, de-
jected faces, in search Of husbands, faith
ers, wives, mothers and little ones.
N IlOLR TIC AIlOkC uOAIlOlC luCltCIllS was
the sweeping away of the inches, con-
tanning the bodies of the dead, in the &C.
metery. Those, floating out on the wa
ters, lodged here and there, and as the
waters receded created a horrible e~fluvia.
They were gathered and inferred as soon
as possible for fear ofpestiIence. Of the
number of dead it is even now hard to
speak with any certainty, The estimates
during the past few days have been, ma
t%uralIy enough, greatly exaggerated, be-
ing placed as high as 1000, and there
are many who will not admit that it is
less. AS usual, the authorities furnish
no information that can be relied on. 1t
is known, however, that 400 bodies have
been collected and buried. Many have
been washed upon the shores of the bay,
and it is safe to conclude that of the great
numbers swept into the harbour and out,
the mass will never appear. Doubtless
near a thousand have persisted.
The damage to property is estimated at
SIS, 200, 900. The stock of sugar and mo-
lasSes in the warehouses was very small
and the loss therefrom, Of course, trivial.
The principal loss is in dwellings, ware
houses, boats, lighters, &c. The Bridge
Of Bailew, a magnificent structure over
the San Juan, not far from its mouth,
costing more than $780, 900, was destroy
ed. The bridge over the Yamari leading
to Versailles, was also washed away. The
San Luis bridge, near the Havana Rail
road station, still stands, though much
damaged. OF the 500 street lamps in the
city not more than fifty remain standing.

convenient mark for boxing, shifting, hitting,
cutting, and with its ears always ready for an
auxiliary pull. Boards of education are usu-
ally very timber-like, knotty, gnarled, aud
cross-grained, and the Chicago board seems
to be no exception to the wooden rule.
Last November the cruelty practiced upon
this boy was officially brought before 'the
boarders," and they solemnly resolved
that 'the charge of undue violence or unne-
cessary severity on the part of the teacher
was not established Good heavens! will
these Chicago Solons be obliging enough to
tell what testimony and how much Of it would
have been sufficient" Here was a boy with
his brain ruined, o child fallen into brute un-
consciousness. or something less, and here was
also evidence that he was reduced to this pitt
full condition through the passionate physical
violence of the teachers and here, too,
as il il were o coroners jury sitting
in a railway murder case, we are treated
to the everlasting droning verdict of
teNobody to blame !" Why not ? Why, be-
cause ''the boy had previously been affected
with difficulty in the head" Ergo, all
boys "with difficulties in the head" may be
pounded in that region without the slightest
restraint; while, upon the other hand, it
would be exceedingly wrong so much as to
FLIP any head happening to be perfectly
healthy. We had no idea that the Dogberry
we have thus claim for peculiar tenderness
metamorphosed into an excuse for unrs-
strained severity, we begin to wonder what
kind of heads it has pleased Divine Provi-
dence to bestow upon the Chicago Board of
Education.
We lay it down as broad and general rule
that school-teacher who cannot manage his
or her pupils without destroying their brains
by physical violence, is not fit for the business
of education; and in these enlightened days
would hardly be thought fit to drive herd Of
cattle, or to be trusted with the care of horses.
Rarey tanned Cruiser by Kindness school
masters and mistresses tame little boys and
girls by free use of the cowhide, which has
been banished from all respectable stables If
brutal driver should kill his steed by over
driving or unnecessary blows, the courts Of
justice would have something to say about it,
but when teachers kill little boys, the bland
Board of Education unanimously resolve that
the victim invoked his own fate, and that no.
body else is to blame.
In order that we may not be accused of injus-
tice to the teacher, or to any person who has
been connected with this painful affair, we
think il right to add that it has been con-
cluded with one of those ceremonials called a
coroners inquest, and that after hearing the
testimony of large number of doctors, the
Jury found that the Inflammation of the boy 8
brain 'arose from natural causes" and the
teacher was "exonerated from all blame in
the matter" The fact, however, remains
that lad subject to brain disease was physi-
cally maltreated, and never spoke afterward.
We leave the intelligent reader to draw his
own conclusions.

a. HOMICIDE IN SCHOOL.

tTefn inc ~. II. ITtOufle.
What which we have, with painful conf
dence, long anticipated, has come at last. In
November, 1869, in the Skinner School, in
Chicago, the teacher had a difficulty with a
lad named Willie Atkins. This boy ''had pre-
viously been affected with a difficulty in the
head, and was, therefore, entitled to the pa
thence and consideration of the teacher, who
nevertheless undertook to fog him. A strug-
gle ensued, in the course of which the boys
head struck violently against steam-pipe.
Since that time he remained unconscious
and absolutely dumb, until, on the 2Sth of
last month, death came mercifully to relieve
him from present and future misery This is
q plain case of homicde-justifable, may be-
by the maxim of Solomon-we may call it
boy y-slaughter in the sixth or sixteenth degree,
but it is killing, after all possible extenua-
tions. This question then arises:-How often,
in the discipline of school, will it be neces-
sary to kill boy?-a question of decided in
terest to parents, to guardians, and to the
public at large. How many such murders will
committees allow annually to each school? In
teaching the young idea how to shoot, how
often will it be necessary to finally extinguish
the young idea, sonsigning it to cold obstruc-
tion. and abandoning all chance of any fur
ther shooting" altogether?
II is little strange that the head OF a
child, being that part for the cultivation and
development OF whcn scnoois are saiu 10 DO
established and maintained, should be the
very corporal locality against which teachers
appear to entertain peculiar spite-thump-
ing it, drumming on it, cutting it, and treating
it as If the skull were of cast iron riveted like
steam-boiler, and not of bone stillin pulpy
state. Upon this tender organ the passionate
teacher advances with clenched fist, with open
palm, with the oaken ferrule. He declares

CONGRESS - IMPORTANT MEASURES
PENDING BEFORE THE TWO HOUSES.
From the ~ Y. Herald.
There are various measures of general i'm
portance pending before each of the two
houses. In the Senate on Friday the House
bill for the total abolition of the franking
privilege in all its ramifcations was discussed.
The Western Senators were anxious to amend
it., especially in reference to the country
newspaper press. They appealed for the re-
storation Of the twenty miles free transporta-
ton in the mails to the newspapers of the
rural districts as really necessary to protect
them against the widening circulation of the
great city dailies. We think it likely, too,
that the protection asked will be given; but
we are half inclined to suspect that these
amendments are slyly intended and may pos
sibly operate to defeat the bill between the
two houses. Against any such designs or
tendencies we would advise the friends of the
measure that the Congressional privilege OF
franling books, pamphlets, speeches and let
ters by the ton, to say nothing of fancy goods
