TIE HIau SCHOOL, AFrArR.-It ap-
pears that the account published day
before yesterday, in the News: in re-
gard to the whipping affair In the Vir-
ginia High School, was in some re-
spects incorrect, the particulars Of the
affair having been gathered up some
what hastily. The Enterprise of this
morning gives the following amended
WESTON Of the affair. which we are In
formed by Prof. James Is substantially
correct 1.-The boy who got whipped
did not get hold oil. the rawhide and use
IL upon the teacher. He made a lunge
at the teacher to strike him with his
fist at the outset, but fell and bumped
his head against q blackboard. After
the punishment was over the boy got
hold Of the whip, but laid 1t down
without attempting to use it. We are
informed that Mr.. James, the teacher,
did not leave by the back way and was
| still In the school-room when the jani-
tor told the boys that he was gone. A
trustee. with whom we have had q con-
versation In regard to tho matter, as
surss Us that this Is the true version of
tho affair, and says that the teacher did
nothing more than was his duty. The
father Of the boy says he has no fault
to find with what was done, and all
seems at last to have been settled. 1t
would be easy to expel the boy from
the school, but he Is promising lad
and a very bright scholar, and his
teacher will not hear Of his being az
PEELED, as he likes the boy in spite of
his stubborn and unruly ways. The
trustees also speak we'll OF him, except
as to tho faults named. He has plenty
OF good friends and will find his
teacher among the number II he be-
haves as we'll as he should"
