British Experience With Beers.

Perhaps John Bull has before
him the following facts to give
him pause: At Laing's Mex
the English loss was 100, the
Boer, "a; at Ingogo the British
loss was 142, the Boer, IS; at
Majuba Hill, which the Beers
assaulted. the British loss was
$50, the Boer 5; at Bronkorst,
Spruit the British loss was 100,
the Boer 1; while in the Jane
son. raid 100 Englishmen were
killed and 5 Beers. In these
five battles the English loss
has been 1872 and the Beers
have lost only SO. or exactly at
the ratio of Is to 1, independ-
ent of any other nation on
earth. The conclusion to be
derived from these figures is
that one Boer is a hefty foe for
S xteen Britons. Evidently the
CO ming war is not going to be a
mere walk around the track for

is quite n stir I'm this place over a case OF
alleged excessive punishment at the
Franklin grammar school. and the prin-
cipal has been called 10 account by mem
bers of the school committee. The affair
took place last Friday and the victim is
George Abbott, IL years of age.
1t appears that the boy had committed
All offence and was ordered by Principal
Sayward to hold out his hand and re-
ceive a number of blows from the rattan.
The boy objected and scufiie between
master and pupil followed, I'm which. IL is
said the rattan was freely used. and the
principal conquered. The blows adminls-
tered, from evidence presented In the case,
fell on all parts OF the body ana the
marks are still said To he visible.
When the boy reached home he told bis
parents about the affair and they nou-
hed Dr. Joseph Chase OF the school
board and he summoned Dr. Wadrake
of the committee, and superintendent of
schools A. l.. Thompson.
After seeing the boy the committee, ft is
claimed. visited the master and he was
shown the boys bruises. The teacher de-
clared that he had no idea that he had
struck the boy so hard.

shall have another teacher present as
