transpires in the rumpus, that former teacher Of
the school, pandering to this prejudice, in the
habit of making the colored children remain outside
the school house until recess, and then, when the
white children were out at play, the darkies were
allowed to 20 in and reeite. This during the

kies The present teacher says that as long they
come to school, while be is there they shall stay in
the house and be taught the same as white children.

the present term, and there was but very little
sauealing about it. All seems to be going along
smoothly and nobody is hurt. But one person took

been purchased by colored man as soon as she had
vacated it, and she could not find another dwelling
in town, and the wife of the eolOred man had slipped
