only seven months Of that period he is compelled to
make use extent of the facts recorded during the
almistr5tpn OF his predecessor; but most OF these

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE
The results with respect TO discipline especially
gratifying in view Of the fact that in pursuance Of the
by law which went into operation at the commencement
of the year corporal punishment has been abandoned in
the Boys Grammar Schools it having been previously
prohibited all the other schools. II is proper to state
however that many teachers Of classes OF boys find
great difficulty in controlling the pupils and keeping
their attention fixed sufficiently upon their studies 10
secure any degree Of progress whatever Indeed, so
much time they say, is taken and their energies ex
baused to such degree in preserving order In keeping
the pupils quiet that they have little of either left to
enable them TO give much instruction While there are
az course exceptional cases. there is reason to think that
tho female teachers having the care of boys are often
severely asked and embarrassed In the matter OF
discipline with the present somewhat inadequate lneen-
and means OF coercion The aid OF parents too,
much more frequently invoked than formerly In the dis
cpne Of the schools but very often without effect since
many parents are too negligent. and their control too

A LAWYER AMONG COWS.

Squire Wick, a lawyer who fancies what
he don't know amt worth pumpkins" I"
and whose homo amt thousand miles
from the Pine Tree State, was great IA
vorite with the late Judge Cranoh. Once
visiting the Judge, the latter invited him
to walk over his premises. Among other
places, they visited the barn-y yard, and the
squire was truck with admiration as he
gazed upon the noble herd of COWS which
had just been driven ur for milking, He
talked rs deliberately of their good points
rs would tirst-ratc good stock breeder,
when the fact was he knew next to nothing
about stock, and some of the good points
which he spoke ofcausod the Judge q hearty
We'll" said the judge, (Which of the
cows will you take2''
(which will take, your honor?" said
the squire, not knowing the judges mean
ing,
"Ees, which will you take? l am going
to make you II present of one OF them
which shall it bc?'
"Really, your honor, this is unexpected;
| will not object TO the pre- sent, but, had
rather your honor would make the selec-
ton, rs receivers should not be choosers"
IF you accept this present you must
make the selection. Being a good jutle Of
stock, you will not be likely to. cheat your
self. And the eccentric judge smiled TO
himself.
The squire rubbed his gold-bowed spec
tacles; and began to view the COWS with
critics precision. After much scrutiniz-
ing, he said; o..

not like to part with that very tat, short

"No iayorile robbery at nll--the fat

The delighted squire FASTENED home to
inform his wife, In about an hour he saw
