have been assured, on good au-
thority, that there is a certain young
lady teacher in our public school who
has been, for some time past, and is
now, administering quinine to her
scholars as a punishment for whis-
pering during school hours. This is
thing that should be looked into
by parents, guardians and those who
sway the scepter of authority over
our educational institutions. The ad-
ministering of noxious nostrums,
ad libitum, might lead toward impair
ing the constitutions of our little
ones, and those bright intellectual
females should be made to under
stand that, although they are clad in
the regulation skirt and a little brief
authority. they VIII not be allowed
to come to this free bright land of
Colorado and heap upon our little
ones the indigniiies with which they
have been wont to terrorize into sub
lection the thin trembling children
of the fever and ague stricken Sec
tions of the east. There are several
other rules, which have been adopted
by these tenderfect school mans, that
deserve the attention Of our people,
of which may quote the two follow
ing:
First-After the bell has been rung
for school to commence the door is
locked, and any who may happen to
come one minute late are barred out
for the rest of the day. L will ask
what good comes out of such q pro-
ceeding? Does it lead to punctuali-
ty? no, it is bit q breeder Of idleness,
for there are nia.y scholars lespecial-
1y boys) who chafe at the restraints
of school life aud on these lovely
days, compared to the confinement
OF school room, it is a paradise for
them &c be free and go fishing along
the bGnisa OF the river, where the
fresh sweet odor of the falling leaves
is everywhere, and the hush of ma
ture's annual funeral makes them
happy to think they are now in no
pent mp Utica. They wander on,
thinking of the brevity and compare
tive unlmportance OF time; how
short the race they have to run, and
how unsatisfato Org it is tc go to school.
even with the prospect of being pres
ident of this broad republic at some
these things, they go late every morn
ing, are locked out, and they put In
their time in aiInless wanderinys after
tadpolea and trout.
The next rule is one which positive
ly torbids child to Ego out" during
school hours. Now this rule is in
reality barbarous. for we all know
that there is tide in the affairs of
grown up people, as well as in chill
dren which, when taken at the flood,
leads on TO positive necessity of se-
Guiding themselves for few mo-
ments from the eyes of the public,
and If this feeling is overcome and
kept down by force, it eventually
causes sickness and perhaps sows the
seed of a disease which even time
cannot efface. Let the people arise as
one man and demand that such rules
be Immediately abolished.

Railroad Collision.

Early on Friday morning two
freight trains collided in Canon op-
posite the Water Works. Both en-
gines were badly smashed and one
car telescoped, but no one was seri-
ously hurt excepting man named
d. NJ. Keith, who was injured by
jumping from the train, aud had his
leg hunt badly.
The collision occurred between the
Silver Cliff freight with some passen-
gers on board. including the Mirror
OF Ireland show troupe, and the Lead
Vile freight heavily laden with ore.
The two engines locked horns when
they struck and such was the impetus
OF the heavy ore train, which also had
the advantage of down grade, that II
forced the other train back over thir.
~ yards. Considerable damage was
done to the engines aud cars but II Il
fortunate no lives were lost. II |,
not known at present who 10 Il
blame for the accident. II IL pre-
suncd no one, as usnaI.
