practice which prevails at Winchester OF
allowing the Projects, or senior boys, to
punish the juniors by beating them with
ash sticks with discretion. a boy has
recently received thirty severe blows for

the school, aud numerous correspondents
write to say that although this is an ex-
ceptional instance, heatings not so severe
are frequent. One indeed, afirms that
he himself was beaten, though not 80 Sc
.erely, one hundred and sixty times. OF
course numbers of correspondents defend
the practice, one in particular diating on
the moral benefit his sons will receive
from .judicious Kicking" but the gener-
al drift of opinion is healthily averse to
system which even il it benefited young
lads, must debase the Pretects by giving
them a perpetual temptation TO terrorize

be bad or good, but it should only be
awarded at the discretion Of mature
minds and for real offenses. In this
country such barbarous system could

after, MS we approach Milton, where we
cross the West Branch of the Susquehanna,
and again re-cross at Montgomery, we enter
a country given to another great branch of
trade, namely the lumber business. We
soon reach Williamsport, the great head
quarters of the trade, which we find in a
state of excitement on account of the strike
of the mill hands, whose lawlessness it has
since become necessary to call upon the
State military to suppress. The ride from
there, after day or so spent there, to yc
ancient burg. is we'll known to all your
readers, as is also the vast asscmblage of
people upon the day we celebrated. Too
much credit cannot be given your most

the conception and complete execution of
the grand undertaking. AS Maj ior Dowart

RATHER EXPENsIyE.--T amount OF
money received by tho laboring men in the
saw mills at Williamsport, is $4,000 per
day. This amounts TO over 100000 per
month, which was lost to the laborers and
their families during the time the mills
were closed on ccount of the strike. This
has created great suffering in the families
of those who were foolish enough to listen
to the leaders, who get up the strikes in
order to fleece the hard workingmen by
taxation so they need not work themselves.
On account Of II few cents per day differ
encc in their wages, the workingmen have
lost thousands of dollars and the i'll will of
their former employers, all through the OBJ
stinacy of few leaders. If the working
men would cease paying the monthly as
scssments to keep these drones upon their
organization without laborinS for their
livelihood, that amount would probably
make more than the difference of their
alleged grievances, and the employers
would have yielded more readily to their
demands
