writes correspondent Of the Phila.aei-
| phia Times, and about two o'clock In
the afternoon wo came along to dis
| trict SchOOlhOuSc- The schoolma'am
| and about twenty scholars stood under
an elm tree, about forty feet high, near
the house, and In the topmoet branches
OF tho trcc was boy about fourteen
years old.
Anything wrong herc?" asked KY
friend, us we halted before the door
"Budd Hawkins says he won't Srd
the teacher says he mustl" cried q little
girl
The teacher then came forward. She
was plain-lool1ing girl of about
twenty, with mouth showing great
firmness and with some embarrass-
lDent she explained:
Its the terror of the school. He re-
fused to mind, and l started to whip
him. lie broke away and ran out and
climbed the tree. I've been up about
twenty feet, but had to give 1t up and
eyer can't conquer met" shouted the
boy.
"Budd, order you to como down.
81 WON'T"
81 have sent for an ok and here It
comes" she said Us she turned to us.
He'll como down with tho tree, #
not before"
We offered to use the AK, but she de-
clined the offer with thanks, and.
stepping to the tree, she swung the i'm
PIGMENT around and buried the blade
in the wood.
You dasn'tl" shouted Budd from the
top.
''I'l do 1t or resign" she answered, as
she struck several blows.
AT the end of three minutes the tree
began to tottcr and Bpdd to yell in
alarm, and few seconds later it fell
with crash ! thought the boy was
badly hurt, If not killed, and was re-
licved as the schoolma' am sprang for
ward, yanlled him out of the branches,
and while applying the CAD with one
hand She pulled him into the school
house with the other, saying:
Now Budd Hawkins, you've rot to
do some of tho awfullcst begging ever
heard of in the state of Ohio, or | won't
leave enough hide on you for fca to
bite"
He was hard at 1t when we drove ON.

NORWEGIAN ENGAGEMENTS.
The Men Instead Of the Women Wear the
Ring.

The Men Instead Of tho Women Iytor the
King.
"Lcap-yenr rcigns forever in this
heothcn land!" exclaimed an English
tourist, stopping In Norway village.
One evening he had been taking u lesson
In NOrsh from Il young Lady, q good
natured Norwegian being present, who
had just walked sixteen miles across
the mountains. When the lady rose to
go to her lodgings In an adjoining
house, says the Youths Companion,
the Englishman offered to escort her
through the darkness.
She declined the offer, and IN so alb
rupt manner as to surprise him.
When she had gone the Englishman
asked the Norwegian If he spoke Eng
lish.
"Not nuch-only few words" he
answered Tell me what means that
ring the lady wears" "She is going to
bc-how you call it2" asked the Nor
wegian, in scarlet perplexity. Going
to be married?" "Yis, yis!"
But" continued the Englishrnan.
what am ignorant of is the difference
In your rings between married, unmar-
ricd, going to be married and never 60
ing to 5e married."
"Oh, you will never tell That" said
the Norwegian, laughing loudly. 1--WE
cannot mark the women in this country
as you do, but they mark the men.
Amongst us it is the man who v-eors the
ring"
'Oh, scel That Is new light" said
the Englishman, taking the maps large
left hand, on whose fourth finger was
plain solid gold ring. THAT is your
wedding ring, then?"
'Nai, nail" he replied, laughing and
blushing. THAT means have got to
be marricd!'
"And then what becomes of it?'
1--WE PIT it on the right hand instead
OF the left" said the Norwegian, hold
ing out his hand to bid the Englishman
"Godt nat-''
Then, us he was closing the door be-
hind him, he said in confidential tones
"fis, that young lady who was talking
TO you is going to marry me next
month";

Extracts from Paper Printed Ovc~ One
Hundred Ycnrs Ago.
Among the timc-worn relics of well.
known downtown chop house are copies
OF newspapers printed in this city more
Than one hundred years ago, says the
New York Times. Here Is a sample
views paragraph which appeared in the
T'aily Record of December 20, 1876:
Yesterday wac executed, pursuance to
sentence, for burglary, Thomas Lee, a
black man. During the execution the
rope slipped and caught him by the chin,
In which situation he was suspended for
nearly two minutes. He then spoke,
saying: ut does not choke me-" on
which the platform was raised and the
rope properly fixed, when he was
launched into eternity. He appeared to
have little concern for his unhappy stu
alton and but n-i imperfect idea of his
future state. Notwithstanding the aw-
full spectacle a number of hardened vii
lains the same night broke open the
store of Mr.. Rhinelander at Burling
slip, and carried off an iron chest con-
tanning cash to the amount of e1o0.
IL the same paper of November 90,
1855, arc these paragraphs:
mulatto boy, between eighteen and
nineteen years of age, to be sold; is a
toleroblc cook and understands all kinds
OF honscwork.

THE NEW BAPTIST PASTOR.
DR.. Acree's Petersburg Congregation Hate
to Give Him Up.

DR.. Acree's Petersburg Congregation Hate
to Give Him Up.
OF Rev. Mr.. Acree's resignation as
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church
of Petersburg, the correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch, says:
"a large congregation was present at
last nights service, but very few had
any knowledge or thought of their
PASTORS intention to resign. The resig-
nation was, therefore, matter of
genuine surprise coupled with visible
evidences of unfeigned regret and sor-
row. Mr.. AGREE has been pastor of the
First Church about four years, and his
faithful work here speaks for itself. He
has proved himself vigorous, fearless
preacher, and yet most loving, tender,
and aifectionate pastor and friend,
always active and untiring.in battling
for the cause of the Master and advanc-
ing and sustaining the interests of the
church; always moving among the peo-
pie, administering religious consolation,
imparting comfort in affection and relief
in distress.
HE has won for himself the warmest
heart-love OF his people and the sim
cerest respect and good will of the en-
tire community. His resignation,
which is to take effect on the 1st OF
November, is therefore received with
universal regret, and with unconcealed
sorrow by his congregation, evidences
OF which were shown at the church last
night.
Mr.. Acree takes charge of a new in,
torest in Roanoke. The Calvary CONF
gregation is a present worshipping in a
large tabernacle there, but they are
building a commodious and handsome
church, which is TO cost between $40, 600
and $4,000. The reason of Mr. Acree's
resignation here and acceptance of this
new and promising field of labor, is to
bo found in the one word-duty."
