The following is condensed from a
communication handed in to us for pub
LEGATION: "a few days since an over
grown and saucy girl, who had learned
good many things away from home
that were better unlearned, went on to
the premises of neighbor and abused
her shamfully by bad language and bad
demeanor. The fact coming to the
knowledge of the father, the initials of
whose name are ]. H., the girl was sent
to the woman and made to confess her
wrong, and promise better things. While
the father only did what all parents
should do, the instance is worthy of
mention, because the time has come when
some parents permit, if they do not en-
courage, their children to be very un-
courteous and abusive to neighbOrs."
