We have received a letter from a
gentleman in the southern part of the
State, making inquiries regarding the
standing and character, at home. of one
of our Buchanan county boys. 1t APP
pears that the young fellow is kind o
sneakin' around one of the old gentle
mans daughters with matrimonial in
tent, and the latter naturally wants to
know something about the aspirant for
the position of son law in his house
hold. The straightforward frankness
with which he approaches the subject,
is pretty good indication that the po-
sition is a desirable one We are happy
to state that on this instance we could
conscientiously give the young man an
excellent character, and it is not i'm
probable that our endorsement will
have the effect of fastening the happy
denouement of his wooing This is all col
en- de rose but there is another class of
young men, who might take warning
from the possibilities it discloses. Sup
pose this thing of consulting newspaper
men, on delicate matters of this nature,
should become common. What kind OF
a report would be sent about you young
fellows who are hanging around the sa-
looms and playing billiards, when you
ought to be at work, if you go away
from home, and lay seige to the heart
of some pretty girl? Think of it, and
take our advice; be virtuous if you
would be happy.

! The SCHOOL KUMPUS. - Something
was said in our last issue about the ar
rest Of the teacher in the grammar room
in the east side school building, Mr.. J.
J. Bowles, on complaint Of the brother
of an unruly boy whom he had attempt
ed to bring INTO subjugation to the rules
of the school by free application of the
rod The case came up before Esq.
Newman, on Saturday, on change of
venue from the Mayor, and on patient
and fair investigation, it was adjudged
by the magistrate that there was no
cause of ACTON, :lu Mr. Bowles was dis
charged. The verdict seems to coincide
with the judgment of the majority of
the community. 1t appears that the
boy was not MANNED in any way, only
severely whipped. According to the tes-
timony, he defantly set at naught the
teachers authority, and was the means
of melting other Toys to Instruction;
furthermore, it was testified that the
father sanctioned and commended Sc
we're measures to bring him to terms.
The discipline and government of the
school was at issue in the suit, and
different verdict would have been pre-
MUM on disorder and INSTRUMENTATION.
Not that we are an advocate of corpor-
cal punishment as rule. Our own
opinion is that the best way is to give
the teacher the authority to expel pu-
pills who show disposition to stubborn
ly rebel against the rules, and thus
place upon the parents the responsible
ty for making their children eligible to
school privileges. But in this case the
teacher was in the position that he had
to conquer or be conquered. We do not
think it consistent with his duty that he
should suffer himself to be conquered.
JUVENILE DIssIPATIoN.-We are in
formed on good authority, that last
Saturday evening, a half dozen or more
boys, yet in their teens, and the sons,
for the most part, of reputable families,
put their money together and dispatch
ed one of the youngest of their number
to Seeland's brewery, where he procured
gallon or two of beer, which the party
drank, until some Of them were almost
helplessly intoxicated, and in this con-
dition repaired to a house where some
young people were having Il surprise
party, and obtruded their presence upon
the company, much to its disgust. We
withhold the names of the boys. and it
is not so much to call attention to them
that this article is written, as it is to
speak of one feature Of the transaction
which, it seems to us, might be prevent
ed in future. The man, Seeland, takes
out no license for selling beer: he pre-
tends not to sell it by the glass, but in
larger quantities, but the fact is plain,
that he does not scruple to sell it to
minors, and that they are thus supplied
with the means of intoxication The
duty of the City Council is, to stop
Seeland from doing this, or, if the Coun-
Gil will not act, parents, whose sons are
subjected to these demoralizing infu-
ences, should act. and that promptly
and efficiently.
