in the fall of 1851. In the spacious
church of the picturesque village the
two lower classes were assigned
seats in opposite galleries, where
they could look down upon 1.-THE
young ladies of the boarding
schools, and the two higher classes
in the body of the house. More i'll

the discourses of the eccentrict, but
phenomenally soporific pulpit dis
colirSer, whose name was RICHARDS,
a member of the senior class was taken
with typhoid fever as the result of a
hunt for cartridges. He was in a
delirious stage one Sunday morning;
and during the church service he was
left alone for short time, when he got
out of MS bed, jumped from a second
story window in the snow, with moth
ing on but his underclothes, and bare
footed. Like frightened deer he ran
through the streets to the church, with
a continuous yell, as unearthly as ever
fell upon human ears. In the midst of
the sermon he opened the door and
swiftly passed up the central aisle and
took his accustomed seat, near the
pulpit, in his grave-like garments. be-
fore he could be stopped. Young
CLARKE did not faint, others about him
did, and none who witnessed the scene
and heard the demoniac shrieks will
ever forget the event. The student
died soon after.

A Suggestion 1t is believed that
the public schools of
Tor st. Paul st. Paul are equal to
those of any city of the
Schools. West in efficiency and
scope, but feature i'll
vogue in Omaha, and probably other
cities of Nebraska, might add to their
popularity among parents, and, perhaps,
give greater uniformity in a desirable
relation. A family that recently re-
( moved from one of the Nebraska cities
to st. Paul suggest the point. They
have numerous children of school age,
but brought no school books. The Ne
braska cities have $1,000 liquor license,
the same as ST. Paul, and the entire
proceeds go irtO the fund for the sup
port of the city schools. The people
there imbibe generously and easily,
probably TO benefit the school system.
The 81, GOO runs up into the large hun
dredS. and munificent school fund is
the result. The popular feature referred
to is, that out of this fund all the books
for the pupils are provided. No parent
is ever annoyed or taxed for school
books for his children-and either this
fund or some benevolent accessory also
provides clothing for all the needy
pupils. 1t is believed there are fathers
in st. Paul, and possibly some who have
no school children, who could be in
duced to take an additional glass of
beer day if it would aid III similar
contamination. Ii the champions of
high license would make their bulwarkS
invincible, they should catch on to this
point. 1t is not reported that Senti-
mental reasons have ever caused the
detention of pupil from school rest
