sometimes succeeded, but oftener succeeded

rule in this country will be pleased to hear
Of an episode in Wilmer Hills school last |
week in the village of East Fairfield. Hill |
son of Seth C.-by the way is a Johnson born |
raised, and Normal educated young man.
One of his tall eighteen years-old pupils lately |
held an Indignation meeting with quorum |
present % and passed a resolution to be a |
law unto himself Later. in the presence
Of small cloud of willing witnesses, after 4 |
o'clock D. m he kindly consented to Law
aside his coat and allow Master Hill to de-
scribe with two beech withes parabolc, ec-
centric concentric and other scientific and |
unny curios around his person. Two min |
ties afterwards, while passing out OF the |
rouse. he gracefully saluted his tutor, by tell |
ne him that he was - well the first letters |
If each of the three principal words of the de- |
,criptive sentence put together in order spell |
sob. The effect of the remark on Hill was
electrical to draw it with extreme mildness.
He sprangfor, and caught his receding friend,
4 DfleI Jfltl Oh SlFeuSJ III dSiiIt9
and he was "snaked back into the school
house The boys brother meanwhile charged
on Hill using a broom stick for u bayonet.
This charge was repealed and a ceremony per-
formed, which made it necessary for the
% prisoner" to take his meals for several
days either in a perpendicular or absolutely
horizontal posture. The sob was repeatedly
withdrawn and made emphatic, by the plen-
tiful EQUALIZATION of the word in pantomime
Hills friends will be glad to know that he
teaches and trains equally well and that
Fairfelders back him en- maSSe.
