SCHOOL TEACHERS, it appears, have theiririaIs
and difficulties in ''teaching the young idea how
to Shoot as well other people. Lately a
teacher in Lower Mahauoy township, this coun-
ty, was attacked by the father of bay who had
received the rod OF correction for disobcdence 10
the school rules, who was determined t. wind
up the school by throwing the teacher out of the
window. The stern parent admitted that his
boy was the worst one in the school, and Id
that he was unable TO manage him at home, but
says he did not want any ''larnin'' beat into his
head. The father ordered the scholars 10 leave
the room, as be intended To close up the house
and procarc a teacher that wouldn't whip his
boy. The directors, however, took the matter
in hand aud concluded the teacher WAS in the
right, aud be continues that school. The pa
rent Of that wicked boy is certainly setting Il
very good example for hi, offspring to reach the
gallows in due course OF time.

A FEW WORDS TO THOSE INDEBTED TO Us
We have sent bills to our subscribers twice dur.
ing the past year, but have met with very poor
success in receiving replies or remittances. We
are 90 situated that we cannot wait upon them
In person, as our time would be lost, and our
expenses frequently exceeds the profit Of our
business. We are furnishing the AMERICAN al "A
very small profit, as we had expected that our
friends, by 70 doing, would pay more readily and
have but short standing accounts. Some have
come up TO our expectation while many accounts
have heen running for three, four and five years.
During the hard times We have tried to pay up
our employees regularly to keep them f1om
suffering. The stock consumed by us cannot
be bought otherwise than for cash. We are the
loser Of the interest OF the money invested. We
have now outstanding some sixteen hundred
dollars or subscription, on which we are losing
the interest on the money paid Cor hands and
stock which We are not well able TO bear. undcI
thcse circumstances we are compelled To enforce
our terms more strictly and demand cash pay
ment. We shall send bills TO all our subscribers,
indebted to us, during the next month. and Oh
the first of April, if not paid, will add the add
tional aty cents according TO our terms where
advance payment is not made. After that date
ali subscriptions not paid within six moEths TWO
dollars will be charged, and ali Transient adver-
tisemenis El have TO be paid for in advance
before they will receive attention. We are
forced TO this measure on account OF all Other
business men adopting the cash system.

. q Coos hUNT.-An Incident was lately re-
lated TO us of cooE hunt in Rush which
caused tinIid young man some trouble. A
party Of six young men started on Il coon hunt,
among them was Que who proved not very
courageous. He being the butt of jokes OF the
company they concluded to have some fun at
his expense. Proceeding to the woods with gun
and dogs, they assigned each his position, when
it fell to the lot OF John Uhe timid young man)
to climb the trees if any of the 'coons should
seek safety on them. soon after arriving in the
woods the dogs chased a large fat 'coOn mp an
oak tree full Of branches hanging almost to
the ground. Joha soon prepared himself aud
up the tree he went, and he moved along a
limb where his cOoDship was stttiES watching
his movements, he did not observe that he was
III any danger, aud just as he was in the act OF
beating the coon the limb broke, and John came
tum bling through the branches until he came
to the lower limbs, when he managed TO catch
hold with his hands, with his body hanging
downward, and his feet dangling within few
feet of the ground. Here John thought OF his
dam er and inquired, How far am from the
ground p About sixty feet" replied one OF
Comrades. "Oh Lord," says John, must die
Yes. replied the comrades, cant fall that dis
tance without breaking your neck Cant
You help me- says John, Il cannot hold on any
longer" No, you're to high up" BETTER
say your prayers, for there is no help amy more"
"Oh, Lordte,'' sighed John. BY tins time it oc-
Cured To John that if ne fell the dogs might
take him for the coon aud tear hun to pieces.
SO he asked, ',re the dogs below meF' Yes,
answered comraGe. ''Oh how will pray ~
asked John. Say the Lords prayer" was an
swered. ''Wc.l, here goes, | cannot hold on
any longer'' Here lay me down to sicep,"
Call Off the dogs" says John, and down he
came about three feet. After alighting aud sur
yeying the distance he fell, and bearing his COM
rddes laugh, he sneakcd of FOX home, swearing
thai il was his last coon hunt.

Taking Care of Visitors.

The Philadelphians,w who have madeup
their minds that the Quaker dictionary
does not contain any such word as fail,
says correspondent, have been steadily
preparing for the great influx of visitors
whom they are certain will arrive.
Houses can be rented without the
stranger going down upon his knees and
offering the whole contents of his pocket
book and his wife's jewelry case. Rooms
can be secured at the middling and
minor hotels at reasonably fair rates,
nor will there be any determination to
extort the same prices as are demanded
at the first class houses. The Philadel-
phians see that they have to popularize
their big show, and that it will not run
on wheels without considerable showing
behind. The consequence is that in all
probability there will beno want of cheap
accommodation, as there is now GER
tainty of cheap railway travelling. There
will be, as there should, gradation of
accommodation and prices, so that those
who desire to economize will have the
opportunity. And the storekeepers are
resolved to be prudent, and not to fay
their customers as was done at Vienna,
so that the present is a golden oppor-
tunity for those who would like to keep
house in the city of homes during the
exhibition season. There is no difficulty
in renting houses, and it is conceded on
all hands that there will be little rise in
the price of supplies.

The Excise Law.

The wife of Henry Squires has sued
the hotel keeper of Grantham, N. H.,
for $4,000, alleging that he sold her hus
band liquor on the twenty seventh oi
December, 1876, "and at divers other
times" thereby causing his death. The
excise law in New York and other States
is also capable o. this kind of punish
ment for selling liquor to drunken hus
bands or wives, or to minors, or to any
person after complaint has been made
More than this, the seller is not only
liable in damages fol- the mischief he
does, but the landlord is made RESPONSE
BILE, also, for renting his store or dwell
ing to persons against whom complain
is made.
