"To the superintendent Sir-I have this day
administered corporal punish to -, for

a different method of punishment? Answer

The answers in the fifth blank thus far do not
show that our modern teachers have discovered

for the reception Of punishment than that Sc
lected by our forefathers, OF rather fore

In the Cheap Transportation Convention in
this city yesterday the committee on railroads
presented majority report, reciting the abuses
OF the existing system of railroad transporta-
ton, and presenting plan for great national
road from the sesboard cities to the west which
the government shall build and own; the road
to be used for transportation of government
freight, troops and mails, and when not so EN-
ployed, to be used by any persons tor their own
locomotives and cars, and which shall be per-
mitted TO pass over the road, paying such tolls
as will support the road and running under such
regulations az shall be made by the govern
Dent officials or legislation. The committee
urge In addition that the government should
build and own such road because the subsidy
or land grant system has been proved to be a
great evil. They also suggest and pledge the
association to urge legislation of the various
states on the railroad question, that no discrim-
iRation Of rates shall be made in any case and
that it shall be penal offence for any public
officer to accept free pass over any road or
Tor any railroad official to grant a free pass to
any person but a railroad employe. The com
mittee suggest the formation of a bureau by
the national government, to be known as the
Bureau Of Transportation and Commerce, and
which shall have jurisdiction over all roads and
water routes. The convention to- day adopted
the majority report favoring the measures men
toned.

Here is still another person who does not be-
lieve that prohibition prohibits. EX-President
Hill, of Harvard College, said, at recent tenn
persnce meeting at Portland, Maine, that in
the experience of half century, IN various
places, he had never seen so many young men
intoxicated and staggering through the streets
as he had seen in Portland during the last six
month. This, he said, shook his faith n the
virtue of prohibitory liquor laws.

There is one position for which Mr.. Gushing
would probably get the unanimous vote OF the
Senate; that is the chaplsincy of that body. 1t
it stated that fifty three years ago Cushing, as
tutor in Harvard college, made such excep-
donaily short prayers that he was immensely
popular with the students. The same quality
would commend him to the Senate for the
position NAMED.

sad one TO contemplate. The miners demand

trouble may grow out of their refusal. In the

An important decision was announced ia the
Baltimore court Of common pleas yesterday,
being substantially that private citizens are not
responsible in damages for accidents from ice
on the pavements. The case tried was an &C
tiOn of Ellen Flynn against the Canton Com
Pany TO recover damages for breaking plain.
TITS arm, &c, by a fall upon the pavement in
front OF the Canton market, from which the
company had neglected to remove the ice and
snow, in accordance with the requirements of
city ordinance. Judge Carey decided that the
occupant OF house is not liable in damages for
an injury occasioned by the neglect to remove
the ice and snow from his pavement; and that
the ordinance on this subject renders the party
failing to comply with its requirements liable
to a fine and the expense of clearing OFF the
snow, but il does not render the party liable to
civil suit; that the responsibility in such cases
is imposed by law upon the police commission
ers, and that although the city may properly
pass such an ordinance, still it cannot avoid
or shift the responsibility and impose it upon
individuals. Ii would seem from this decision
that in such cases the injured party would have
resource against the local authorities.

Tennessee under which the public system of
the State is managed, and by which its Off
GERS are governed. IL Is furthermore in con-

An employee In the King Philip Mill
at Fall River, Mass, was scrubbing the
floor of the third story with mop the
other day, when he backed up against a
belt 50 inches wide that passes through
the floor obliquely, thence over a shaft and
down through the floor again. The belt
was moving al the rate OF three-quarters
OF "A mile a minute, and the man was car
ried down through the floor; but before
striking the floor Of the second story, he
rolled upon another belt that was running

The st. Joseph Gazette says: On
Saturday afternoon, about four miles
southwest of Agency, Missouri. Mr.. VIII
liam Douglass's youngest child-a little
boy, about two years old-was left In the
house alone for a short time by the mother.
and when she went into the house again
the child was missing. After looking for
few moments without finding It, she
looked into the well. and there saw the lit
tie fellow. One of the men working near
was attracted by her cries, and went to her
assistance. When he got 10 the bottom
of the well (which was forty feet deep).
the child was under the water. He lifted
it out, and finding that it was not dead.
succeeded in getting some water out OF
ii. He thought that he could climb out
with the child, but found that he could not.
He then called for the well-bucket, which
was lowered, and placing the child in it,,
took off his suspenders and tied it to the
bucket and rope so II could be drawn out
After about half-hour's work the child
was resuscitated, and on examination they
found some bruises and one severe cut on
the head, which were all that were visible.
Mr.. Douglass was i'm st. Joseph at the
time and did not get home for about two
hours after the accident. On Satur day eve
ming the child was doing finely, with ev-
cry indication of speedy recovery.
