We are very sorry 70 learn. as we do from com

Soldiers Home, IL considering the propriety OF

driving over the roads Of the grounds, in open
aINi intentional violation of the rules every

four accidents have already occurred this season
rom this cause alone to infrm or deaf occu-
pants Of the Home, and the abuse seems to be
growing 80 rapidly, In spite Of the warnings of
the guards, that Col Lee thinks there will be no
remedy short Of closing the gates.
We trust this step will not be taken, and 10

rules Of the Home win reflect for a moment

the property Of the aged and infrm soldiers Of
The army, and any violation OF the rules of the
establishment by those who enjoy its surround

Gecency and good taste a violation OF the
hospitality OF a private house.

HARDY SCHOOL BUMxER-we are sur
scurrility OF Henry Hardy in regard to its CO.
temporaries. The history OF this man Hardy, OF
The causes which compelled HIS resignation OF his
Iosiflon Of school teacher in this city in 1871
and the particulars of his subsequent vag-
abond career, would make . curious chatter
but IN the language OF the Baltimore Apseri-
con, when dealing with him some years
ago, 1.-THE game Is not worth the candle %
He Is now, after his usual fashion seeking cheap
notoriety, and makes merit Of resigning q po-
nt1on he was not qualified to Ill, and could not
hope to retain, on the ground Of high toned dis
gust over the appointment OF a colored Trustee
That this miserable hummer in the educational
ranks, who would not be entrusted with the 10 vest
grade primary school in this city, and has been
barely tolerated Ia an obscure country school,
should put ON these airs, when the large number
OF Competent and experienced teachers In our
public schools felt IL no disgrace 20 serve while
MI Nashon and other eol0red Trustees were act
ing upon the School Board, is simply absurd.
