CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN SCHOOLS.
Teacher Convicted In Jersey for Beat

A Teacher Convicted in Jersey for Beat
ing a Pupil.
A teacher in one OF the public schools OF Union
Hill named Patrick OCOnnor, was tried yesterday,
in the Court Of Sessions, at Jersey City, on the
charge or assault and battery. 1t appears
that one OF his pupils, young girl,
was contumac0us. and not only refused
to obey the teachers order, but called
HIM damned whep" For this offence The
teacher whipped her with a cane Her parents
went before the Grand Jury and mad the teacher
indicted. District Attorney Garretson, IN sum-
ming up for the prosecution, insisted that under
the law OF 1867, winch abolished cor
poral punishment in schools, the teacher
was prohibited from chasusing q pupil
in the manner proved, and in dong so he was
guilty OF assault and battery. Counsel for the de-
ience, on the other hand, called on the jury to
scout the case out OF court, as conviction under
such circumstances would lead to serious
trouble. 1t would establish precedent that
would inevitably lead to the disOrganizaton Of
the public schools. The jury did not concur in his
view OF the case, however. Alter lew minutes
absence they rendered verdict OF guilty. O'COn-
nor was renamed for sentence.

THE NEW BRUNSWICK TRAGEDY.
Coroner's Inquest-A sad Chapter of Do
mestic Troubles.


The inquest ned yesterday before Coroner
Schuyler IN New Brunswick, n. j., brought to light
a chapter OF circumstances which eliminated in

1t appears that on Monday last Thomas Kemp OF
that city, a man or reputable standing in the com.
munity, took his three children, named Mary Jane,
Julia and Jonn, aged respectively nine. seven and
five years each, with him on the ostensble purpose
OF paying visit TO a friend named Hickey

Keeper Mr.. Britton, who said TO him, "Hallo
Tom: how did you get through the Fourth YD TO
which query a reply was given, al never had as
gloomy Fourth as the one | spent this yearu
The lockkeeper then went into HIS house and Ia a
few moments heard a heavy splash In the water
which alarmed him so mucn that he speedily came
out again to what was the matter Az soon as he
got TO the brink OF the canal terrible sight caught
his attention. In the middle OF the stream were
Kemp and his three children struggling Tor iile
without seconds hesitation Brlrton made a
plunge In the direction OF the drowning innocents
and succeeded in rescuing two Of them. The eldest
child, Mary Jane, was next brought to shore,

one Of the most potent of the
causes Of the division between the
Northern and Southern States in
former DAYS, was the disagreement
and division of several denominations
Of christians, especially the Metho-
dists and Presbyterians, large and in
fiuential bodies, The first cause Of
this disagreement was the slavery
question; as slavery is now done
away, it would seem eminently prop
err that these discussions should be
healed and the breaches closed up
We are glad to see some progress ma
king toward this desirable end. The
members Of the Northern section of
the Methodist Episcopal church, are
about dedicating Camp Ground at
Sen CHI near New York, and have
cordially invited the Bishops, Minis
tars and members of the Southern
Church, to participate with them in
the opening ceremonies.
1t will be @ matter Of National in
terest TO see there q grand reunion
of the two branches Of the church,
which may lead 10 an official union,
and the extiuguishment Of all divis-
ion lines. Things are looking that
way, and We hope it Will not be many
wears before this will be done. As
the division in the churches prece-
ded the division in the States, so we
may hope that this reunion in them,
viii be the precursor of full and
fratcual union between the people
OF the North and South.

TIE most wonderful displays of
folly, impotcnt malice and efrontery
are now to be found in the Radical
papers Of this District. There seems
to be 10 su5tertuge to which they
will not resort; no degradation to
which they will not stoop; no trick to
which they will not lend assistance,
for the sake Of working some injury
t,the Democratic party. They know
,he Radical party is dead. They
know It sinks in the nostrils OF the
people. and as they cannot, with all
their eGrontery, have the face to talk
Tor their own party, they Will at
least throw dirt at The Democrats.
It's too thin, gentlemen, too thin.

Is on the wall, and hencelorth it is
