Corporal Punishment In Boston
Schools.

Notwithstanding the restrictions
adopted by the School Committee, there
is still, occasionally, corporal punish
ment in the Boston schools, but it is not
inflicted by the teachers. A vicious boy
recently kicked female teacher in one
Of the schools at the Highlands. The
kick would have been attended with
serious results had it not been for the
ladys watch, the crystal Of which was
smashed by the operation The teacher
sent for the boys mother; she came; in
qnired into the circumstances of the
offence took the boy by the collar and
sent him spinning down stairs. The
teacher rushed forward, expecting to
find that the young culprit had been
severely injured. The mother motioned
to her to stop, and said she was going
to the bottom of the stairs to kick the
boy out, he was of such an ugly temper.
The Transcript does not know whether
or not this mother was one OF the oppo-
nents of corporal punishment in the
schools.

Destitution of Sitting BuII's band.

The Toronto Globe has despatch
from Wood Mountain, Manitoba, which
says:
Sitting Bull and his camp, of which
there are about 100 lodges Of so-called
hostile Sioux, arrived at Wood Noun
tain, K. w. r., on the last day Of Janu-
ary, aud. have been encamped four
miles from the post ever since. They
are very poor, having only few horses.
They sold almost everything except
their arms to procure food. In some
eases they have parted with these, al
though the majority are still well arm
ed with brcech leaders, There are
about two hundred fighting men in the
camp. On their arrival, Sitting bull, in
an interview with Major Crozier, said
he had come back to live in peace, and
hoped he would be let alone. He said
that he went to the American side after
him because Major Crozier told him to
60, but he did not like the idea of
surrendcring. He had sent about forty
lodges to Poplar river to surrender and
came back with the remainder to live
in Canada. Provisions of all kinds are
very scarce at this place, and as the In
dians have nothing ahead they will no
doubt have hard time before spring
opens.

Trying to Poison A Girl.

Harlem p. Hale, of Waterford, Vt,
was arrested in Lowell, Mass, on Thurs
day afternoon, for attempting to poison
Mary +. p. Sanborn, daughter of Page
Sanborn, by putting strychnine in the
water to be used in making tea, The
bitter taste of the strychhihe was de-
tccted before any of the tea was swal.
lowed by Mrs. Sanborn. Her niece
swallowed small quantity, but not
enough to make her sick. The attempt
was made last Sunday afternoon, at
which time Hale made two visits to the
house. He had been paying attention
to Miss Sanborn, but she treated Ihis
advances with coldncss, refusing to re-
gard him as any thing more than a
friend. On one of the visits named he
went into the kitchen of Mrs. Sanborn' s
residence to get drink of water, and it
is supposed that he put the strychnine
in the kettle at that time. He purchas-
ed a revolver on Saturday, and it was
taken from him when he was arrested.
He denies having attempted to take
Miss Sanborn's life.

that arrangements have been made TO

will proceed from Baltimore and the
other will start out from Port Deposit.
II is understood that the new manage

matured their plans and made a diVls-

dolph, chief engineer OF the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, will direct the move
mcnts of the various corps OF engineers
engaged in surveying the dinereht
routes. The reasons for surveying TWO
or more routes are obvious, but the
chief reason is that the company may
avoid paying exorbitant prices for the

Martin Shea & Co., to Grade the First
Mile on the Extension.

sAoHthh Shed q Co., TO GraO6 the r1Est
Mile on the Extension.
Quietly, but surely, for some time past,
negotiations for the practical pushing for
ward of the Knoxville and Augusta Rail-
road have been focusing, until yesterday,
all arrangements and specifications were
completed between the management of the
road and Martin Shea & Co., of this city,
for the grading of the first mile of the ex-
tension beginning at Maryville.
This is. a gigantic stride toward the &C
complishment of the so-much- desired con-
nection with the Southeast and sea-board,
and indicates that such capital and energy
are interested as will consummate the long
laid and evidently advantageous plans in
that direction.
Messrs. Shea & Co., have wide reputa-
ton for reliability and promptness as con
tractors, and will carry out their contract in
good time. They will Immediately transport
a large force of hands to Maryville, where
work viii be commenced, as we are informed
ON Monday or Tuesday, perhaps, and will be
pushed rapidly to completion.
This will be gratifying news to all oul
East Tennessee readers, and especially IL
Blount County, where it will iven up mat
tiers considerably. 1t will also give add
tional momentum to the business boon
which already prevails in our city and sur
rounding country, for all the supplies viii

illusions were made by us in recent
issue, of the contemplated sale of the Knox
vile and Cincinnati Southern Railroad to
the Clyde Syndiuate The negotiations
have been on hands for some
days. and General G. J. Foreacre,
a representative of the above-named syndi-
cate was in the city some days ago, and had
a length conference with the directors of
the road and made proposition to them.
A large majority of the directors and stock
holders were in favor of accepting the prop
but two or three of the large stockholders
opposed it, and no conclusion was arrived
at in that conference.
The negotiations were kept up, however,
through attorneys, and at late hour last
Friday night consumation of the trade
was reached and all the subscribed stock
except twelve shares-of the Knoxville and
Cincinnati Southern Railroad, together
with the survey made by Maj. w. A. Gum,
and all appurtenances, was transferred to
the Clyde Syndicate. In consideration
of the transfer the sum of $500 in money
was deposited by the syndicate. Out Of
this sum is to be paid all the subscribed
stock, $500, as it is claimed by the respec-
tive stockholders, together with all the
debts and liabilities incurred in the survey,
rights of way, &c. Whatever remains out
Of the sum is to be returned to the syndi-
cate.
The purchasers of the road bind them
selves to put the entire line from Knoxville
to Emory Gap, on the Cincinnati Southern
Railway. under contract within six months
from the date of the transaction, September
2, and also bind themselves to complete it,
as a broad gauge railroad within
| thirty months from the same date. If they
fail to complete the line in the specified
time the Clyde syndicate forfeits the money
paid by them Friday. This is the only for
| felt.
This is certainly an encouraging outlook
| for direct connection from Knoxville tC
! the Cincinnati Southern Railway, open
ing up new coal fields and othel
resources which will be of immense advan
tage to Knoxville, in connection with the
Knoxville and Augusta connection, which il
being built on the southern end, and upon
which work is to be commenced in a few
days out from Maryville. 1t would certainl,
appear that the purchasers of this charte
are thoroughly in earnest, and it is tn,
opinion of all interested that the connection
to Emory Gap is assured.

The Chi-Delta Society.

Last night the Chi-Delta Society OF the
University of Tennessee held its first meet
ing for this collegiate year. The hall was
well filled, both with old and new students,
Il number of whom became active members.
and the society sincerely hopes that many
more will soon enlist in her cause.
The exercises of the evening were opened
by Mr. r. Van Glider with an excellent ora
ton. The defamation of Mr.. Bogart was
well delivered and highly appreciated. The
debate on the question Resolved, That
the adoption of the free trade policy
would be beneficial to the United
States" was very ably and creditably con.
Quoted on the affirmative by Messrs. G. F.
Humes and VIM. G. McAdoo, jr., and on
the negative by Messrs. Fl. W. Cowan and
E. T. Sanford Owing to the resignation
of Mr.. o. C. Dawkins, Mr.. r. Van Glider
was elected to fill the vacancy. The exer-
cises of the evening were thus closed by the
reading of the Crescent-the society paper.
