An Ohio school-master having had
occasion to administer to one of his
[pupils the gentle chastisement which
forms on essential feature of Western
eduoatioo, the father of the culprit paid
a vengeful visit to the academy, during
recess, and?directing his son to lock
the door on the outside?"went for" the
pedagogue with a chair, which he used
in anything but a.ohary manner. The
only thing the poor teacher had to de?
fend himself with was a pen-knife with
a blade not more than eight inches long;
but with this insignificant weapon and"
the consciousness of rectitude he was
enabled to go on with his afternoon
classes as soon as the pieces of his assail?
ant had been swept op and taken'to tho
, hospital iu a wheelbarrow. .

Getting a License.?A blushing
maiden of forty summers entered the
town clerk'a office in Wheeling, West
Virginia, recently, and asked, in a voice
trembling with agitation, for a license.
The clerk took down the name and the
address of the visitor. "Name and ad?
dress of the party?" p?ked the clerk.
"Faithful, and he lives v. Ith me," replied
the fair one, The clerk looked at her a
moment, and blushingly completed the
filling in of the document, which he
handed to the lady. He was astonished
at her conduct; she gave one glance at
the license, hoarsely whispered, "Mon?
ster I" and swept majestically out of the
office. The olerk had presented her
with a marriage license, when it was a
dog license she wanted.
Senator Pomeroy is reported to have
been heard declaiming in Shakspoarean
language to Caldwell as follows: "Alas!
that Yorke! I knew him altogether too
well, Caldwell. He was a fellow of infi?
nite cheek and of most serviceable
quality. He hath borno mo through
tight places a-many times; but no./ how
abhorred in my imagination ho isl My
gorge rise at him. Now got you to an?
other Senator, and tell him, let him
bribe a foot deep, to this favor must
he come,"
At the Ames dinner tho following
poem was read:
My text is, "Lo! how great ado
Is kindled by a little fire;"
Or, dearer, possibly, to you
One truth exposes many a liar."
So few are found the truth to tell.
So many seem the truth's deniers,

Translated, "Credit more big liars."
