FROM Onancock comes the story that /
q few DAYS since a young and hand |
some public school teacher named /
Windsr. who came from Philadelphia .
and taught school in the upper part Of |
AccOmac county. last winter. was
driven away from the neighborhood on
account of his fOndness for kissing hi=
girl pupils. Winder was about nine
teen or twenty years OF age. He would
chuck the girls under the chin during
school hours, and it seems would chase
them all over the campus, often tearing
their dresses in efforts TO catch and kiss
them. Large or small, it mattered not
10 him. De would take the girls, when
caught. in his arms. and laying their
heads on bis shoulders. passionately
kiss them. He came to the Eastern
Shore well recommended. and was a
good teacher, but the girls were indig-
nant at his conduct aud told their
parents. who informed him he must
cave or take the consequences, which
ne. thinking it might be worse for him,
quickly did.
