Faithfully Rewarded.


Mr.. George Erskine, who for twenty-five years
has been employed in the Deaf and Dumb Institu-
ton, and for the last nine years was steward and
oversecr. was uncercmoniously discharged by tile
president of the institution for the sole reason that
he would not submit TO Il deSpotic power.
II appears that on Wednesday Of last week he,
accompanied by his wife and some lady friends
went TO the National Fair where he met three gem
tlemcn by whom he was asked to take II glass of
beer which he, not thinking that there was any
thing wrong, ut once accepted. Almost immedi.
ately after swallowing the nauscatng draught he
was completely stupefed and with much diiicu lty
proceeded homewrd but got only n short distance
when he fell Frustrated TO the ground where he
lay until found by Mr. i. NJ. Galleudet, president
of the institution. He was then taken home, where
he was made MS comfortable us possible.
on the following Friday the president requested
an interview with him, when he INTERCEPTED him
closely In regard To the affair. Mr. H. narrated the
facts just as they occurred. This was not satisiac,
tory TO Mr.. g., who insisted that he had told him a
talsehood. Finding that spirit of independence
and vindictvencss of character was of no avail he
rendered his resignation TO take effect on the 3Olh
instant; which was not accepted, but followed by
un unjuStifablc removal.
