Mr.. Smith, mail carrier between Grundy

case of punishment by school teacher.
His story is that on Wednesday of last week
school mistress in Fairfield township un-
dertook to chastise one of her pupils, boy
about Is years of age.
The boy made a fierce resistance, and
the tide of conflict began to set in against
the female disciplinarian. Gathering a
heavy chair which was near, she lifted it
high over her head, and with sweeping''
master stroke" brought it down upon the
devoted head Of the recalcitrant student,
settling his resistance and his earthly ex-
istence at a single blow.

Early RailrOading.

writer in the Hartford OOurant gives
"reminiscences of railroading in Connecticut
forty years ago, which are interesting -
When the Hartford and New Haven Road
was first opened it had very meagre facili-
ties; the road bed was poor, had only strap
rails, which were all the while curling up
and running through the car floors, the
cars were small and the locomotives weak.
In fact, it didn't take much TO block a
train in those days; sometimes an inch of
snow on the rail would do it. Henry G,
White, one of the first conductors of the
road, tells how he and the baggage master
used to sit in front of the locomotive, one
on each side, and brush off the snow from
the rails with broom as the train slowly
crawled along. Each had pail of sand,
and sprinkled handful on the rail when
necessary. The driving wheels (engines
had only one pair then) used to slip round
and round, and torment them almost to
death. On one occasion train got stuck
ON the Yalesville grade by one inch of snow
and the wood and water gave out before
the locomotive could overcome it. At last
they got out the neighbors, yoled four
pair of oxen to the train and drew it, oxen
and all, into Meriden with flying colors.-
In the early days Of the road the stage
coach drivers used to regard the cars with
great contempt. Indeed, thirty years ago
the passenger trains were three to four
hours on the road to New Haven, and the
stage coaches went in about the same time.
Superintendent Davidson remembers rid
ing with his father in a carriage drawn by
two horses, which had race with pass
enger train near Wallingford, where the
turnpike and railroad are parallel for three
or four miles, and during all that time the
carriage kept even with the train.

;. HIGH LEE EccENTRIcIIIgs.-T There is
2 very ugly story going the rounds OF
the press to the effect that at the we'd

gave out. The facts are these: Toward
the close Of the evening there was such
rioting--for it can be called by no othe,
name- in the supper room, such drink
ing. such breakage of fine glass--gob-
let's and dishes being pitched under the
table by the guests to get rid of the la
Dor of holding them, that Mrs. Stewart
ordered the supper rooms to be closed.
Just such scenes transpired at the last
ball given by Mr.. Corcoran in honor OF
the debut of his daughter, and they have
been repeated in Washington in greater

A Contsmptible Theft.

Manipulated by l.. Fl. Luse, Coroner of
Lake County, John W. Tyler, Prosecut-
ing Attorney and E. w Clarke, the nom
inal editor of the Painesville Ad0ertiser.
Knowing the widespread interest that
existed in regard to the case. the report OF
which is given below, the JOURNAL, at
the first intimation of the circumstances
made preparations to procure the full de-
tails. In fulfillmept Of this purpose
representative of this paper was present
at the inquest and took down verbatim
report. of the evidence. This report as
there taken was practically STOLEN by
the gentlemen { y named above, for the
purpose OF publication in the Painesville
Advertiser and did in fact appear in that
paper of date the 21st, We have often
encountered and read of sharp newspaper
enterprise IN the gathering of news but,
even in such cases, where the means en-
ployed were of the most doubtful nature.
there was always an ingredient of shrewd-
ness which relieved the event from that
monotonous dishonesty tnat characterized
the present instance. We are prepared to
prove our assertions and are also prepared
to prove that the Coroner in his anxiety to
perform his part has violated very i'm
portant requirement of the statute and
that therefore it would be extremely diff
cult for him to establish the legal validity
of his inquest, if it should ever be called
into question.
We make this statement not as an ex-
cuse foF any lack in our report-for that is
full and accurate-hIt that those who may
have wondered atthe unusual enterprise
displayed by Mr.. Clark, NAV fully under
stand that he is strutting about-not in
borrowed but-in STOLEN plumage.
