and barrels, we're piled up in the street
Even widows houses were not respected |
by them Fun is fun, but there can hardly |
be any fun in damaging property, unless to
debased and vitiated minds. Among those |
engaged in these ''Holer Eye'' pastimes, we
noticed some well-grown hoydenish girls, who .
ought to have had kind mother at their
backs with well-applied waffle.

line of her chosen profession, to which she /
has on all occasions shown so much devotion
and in which she has served so faithfully and .
aeeeptahly, having in brief period earned .
very high reputation as n successful teacher. [
Deep regret for her withdrawal from the pub
lie school service, and the best wishes of pu-
pills, parents, trustees, and other school oil. I
cials with whom she has been so pleasantly /
connected, viii follow Miss Hooker to her I
new situation near Baltimore city.
