In justice to Mr. II. your
paper and my self I gently, tin ugh
reluctant ly, address myself tn the
ta-k that, hut for the bossy pre
judice." on the part af Mr. II"
would not have been elicited.
Not long ago then* oecu m il a little
disturbance in our school, by three
boys indulging in a small amount of
billingsgate. I, being tbe teacher, of
course the thing nviis divulged to me.
After due eonsidcru! ion. and for pro
spective benefit of the hoys con
cerned. I concluded it would he pru
dent to give the hoys a kind of a
Sam Jones’ reprimanding in lieu of
applying the rod that Solomon said
Nvould drive the mischief that
abounds in tbe heart of a child far
from liiin.
Well. I thought everything was
gliding smoothly ttnlil the next even
ing, when one of the above mentioned
boys meekly approached me claim
ing that I bad reprimanded tliem
undeservedly.so I forthwith instituted
u comprehensive investigation whieh
found the same three boys stillguilty
of the above mentioned indecent lan
guage, whereupon I turned and in
naked, angio-saxon terms, told them
if they ever indulged in such un
civilized talk again that I Nvould ting
them out and send them home. Hut
this would not tally with Mr. II s"
extreme views on the matter after hi s
children reached home an I agitated
him with “their tab*.' So be
shouldered his trusteeship, came to
my house and peremptorily ordered
me to whip the hoys and expel them
from school, to whieh I replied, that
I whip when I think it is necessary
and not nthenvise. hut to mitigate
his pain. I called in the patrons to
talk the matter over, after whieh he
claimed that he was satisfied, hut the
school was irrevocably doomed. Some
of the patrons told me that they
would pay me and cease their patron
age as they were fearful that Mr.

A ft er-t mix ing my unenviable pre

The scenery of Hutberford County
is one of the chief sources of her
pride*, sin* m.iy xxell hoa-t of the
varied and valuable quality of bet* ,
soil, of the gigantic tree- ,if various i
kinds, that make her of advantage to
t lie llllllhcl'llicll. of the water power
that cheer- tin face of tin* in ichiui-t
and quickens th< pace of enterprise,
hut all these also add to her beauty. \
While one may sell her timber, an-'
other her land, another e.-tnldi-h '
factories and machinery, yet respec
tively and combined, they add to t he
charms spread out for the tourist
and authorize us to invite the lover
of natural beauty to sojourn xvith u-.
Situated at tie* E.isleru base of the
Hliie Halge including several -purs of
that grand ehaiu, her location is I
different and perhaps more interest ing 1
than any of her -i-tcr counties.'
Slopping for tin* night at Huther- |

cannot fail to he -truck xxith the
peculiar beauties of the -itnation, j
Even the rising and setting of the
sun impress it-. The viexx toward

and the I xx Might prolonged by tin
mountains West of us. Space would
not justify us in particularizing, hut
xxe may add a brief de-eription of a
few of the striking features in our
scenery.
When xxe draxv nearer, the varied
