There were ten French weddings, at St
Peters, Lewiston, Monday.
The Journal SAYS: certain school dis
trict, not many miles from Lewiston, has de-
rived excitement this winter, from an old
fashioned war on the school master-a muscu-
lar young pedagogue from a neighboring
town. The literary pursuits Of the school
have been carried on amid flying sticks Of
cordwood; and puQilistc exercises have been
part of the curriculum. Trouble between
the teacher and his larger pupils cropped out
at the beginning of the term between the
covers of the arithmetic. and eliminated,
about ten days ago, in q rough and tumble
fight, in which the teacher received rough
treatment from some Of the six-foot pupils,
was hustled into the entry and his shoulder
was disjointed. The school was closed for
ten days. 1t Is hoped that the cause of edu-
cation in this district will now progress with
out further casualties. We thought the time
had gone BY when it was unsafe to take the
chair Of winter school, without au accident
policy in our pocket and a policeman's billy
in the other; and supposed that, at this stage
of the world, course in boxing was not one
of the essential prerequisites of a successful
schOol-master.
