the boy was suspended. Mrs. Bisticr was sen;
for by the principal, II. II. Flick. AT 10
O'Clock she came into Miss BerE's room and,
closing the door behind her, said: al have
come to settle this matter" Then she un-
coiled u whip from under her cloak and be-
gan numerically lashing the teacher. The
cries Of this lady. mingled with those OF the
children, brought the principal and sew
eral Of the teachers to the scene. They fl
nally wrcsted the whip from Mrs. Bistler aud
put her out Of the school. The children
could not be Gained down. and 1t was nrces-
sary to send them bSne for the day. Miss
Berk was badly bruised about the face and
