Once q Printer.

A correspondent of the Delaware "ln'
quirer" says: l. N. Mills, the Super
intendent Of the Delaware road ia, a
man of excellent executive ability. Rail.
roading to him is science he soon
mastered. His early life and educa-
ton we're in no way connected with the
duties he now performs. He is prin-
ter by trade, and years ago, when civ
ilization had made but little progress
west of the Mississippi, he was suboing
on the St. Louis "Rep." Railroading
was an afterthought. Although a good
printer, he has proved himself much
better railroad manager; and while the
craft lost in him one of its best and
most expert members, it is consoling to
know that the great trunk line of the
Delaware Peninsula secured as its sup
erintendent man SO we'll adapted 10
the duties of the position.

Miss Ccrbin, New England lady, Ii
now teacher in the Lewes public
school. She was a stranger to the peo-
pie and pupils of Lewes week ago,
but she is not now. She called school
to order on Monday morning and thrash
ed two children before noon and whaled
another like forty before night. This
programme was repeated the following
and each succeeding day, and the result
is at this writing Friday evening" she
has about mastered the rebellious boys
with whom she has to contend.
Some people object to Miss Corbin's
severity, but those who are thoroughly
acquainted with the ariness and unruly
character Of Lewes boys justify the
measures she has adopted to secure or
der and compel obedience and respect
On Thursday night there was a sort ol
mass meeting to consider Miss Corbin'a
actions ana the complaint of the chill,
dren, and by vote attended by large
affirmative yell and two negative voices,
Miss Corbin was justified in her conduct
and told to 60 ahead and do as she
pleased. But the end is not yet, and
