Spring.

In leaty woodlands birds are singing,
Throstles calling through the dali
Ia open fields fresh flowers are sprir -ine
Violets bloom on hill and fell.
In shady woods and sunless places,
Orchard, forest, field and plain,
Cowslips show their modest faces,
March leaves sing through Aprirs RAIN,
In the Spring the earth reioices
All the tuneful feathered throng,
With one instinct lift their voices-
Burst with rapture into song

'Ns the crescent OF the year
Winters past with gloom and sadness
Snow and sorrow, frost and fear,

BEELARE LocAIs.-The Board Of Ed.
u%catiou met in special session Wednes.
day evening last. All the members being
present aud after the disposal OF the usual
preliminaries by the Clerk, the Board
proceeded to form themselves into a
Committee Of Enquiry" 10 investigate
the charge" preferred against Professor
Duff, the Superintendent OF the public
schools Of this city, of "mNltreating" a
scholar named Oscar Poorman, a young
son Of Col. poorman, Of this city, on
Thursday OF last week. The charge al
legged that the Professor on the day above
mentioned did inllict IN an indiscreet and
unprecedented manner brutal pun
ishment upon the aforesaid boy,
without any just cause or proyoca-
tion, and with Il weapon Of an unusual
size and dimension. The case was
thoroughly ventilated, and with the ex.
ception OF a few instances Of unparlia-
mentary introductions, the large number
OF spectators who we're present upon the
occasion considered that justice would
certainly meet with It's due reward. The
hearing Of witnesses and the closing
speech, delivered by Cdl. Poorman in de.
fence OF his son, closed at IL o'clock, mid.
night. The decision In the case was
postponed by the Board until Q P. N. yes.
terday, which was: That the Board Of
Education does not sustain the charges
preferred, and therefore honorably acquits
the accused, Prof. Duff.

The Wheeling Regitr Of yesterday
limited that trouble was apprehended
whenever the managers Of the Goblet
Works would attempt to gil the places of
the late discharged employees by men i'm.
ported from places elsewhere. This we
are authorized TO contradict emphati-
cally. There Is not the least truth In L.
The late discharged employees from the
Goblet Works are mostly all peace low
