BET SET VEBICI BKSSIB-MAY.
On Friday afternoon last the above
named crafts, under skillful hands,
with sails all set, left the. cotton press
wharf for a race around the island of
marsh opposite our aity. The entire
distance was about six miles. The
IJestie-may being u smaller boat and
carrying less sail was to have ten min-
utes nt\?anlagc. “in the coining out;*’
contrary to the expectation of a great
many, however, «h*» did not need the
ten minutes offered, but actually ar
rived at the starting point 2} minutes
ahead of her opponent. A few dollars
changed hands, we learn, over the af
fair. Som■» folks, it seems, will bo
naughty. Capt. Osgoo 1, of the Pessie-
met ■, was u proud man indeed. He
has very recently finished this nice
little craft, having done every particle
of-the work himself, and now to liav_
her outsail the Ildsey—a boat of ac
knowledged speed—was as much joy
as he wanted for one afternoon. He
did not go **p town and take n drink,
however, but quietly took a small par
ty of Indies and gentlemen aboard and
mailed down llie river. •

JOHN CHINAMAN.
A pretty serious affair occurred lost
week on Col. rritchftrd’s plantation.
It seems that Col. P. has a lot of Chi
nese laborers on his place, and one of
them, tlio foreman, having saved up
about concluded to return to
China. The others' rather objected to
this procedure on his pa it ami pro
posed dividing out the money among
themselves, and to that o id made an
attack on him. Ho defended himself
ai;.ufully but was overpowered “by
numbers and shot and cut up quite
badly, so .ranch so th .t it is thought
he will not recover. Having obtained
dm money which he hud in u pouch
tied around his waist, they divided it
out among themselves, thinking that
it was all right. Seven of the number
are now in jail awaiting trial.
Later—John Chirumnn don’t intend
to make a die of it (his time--so said.
HOOK COVERS.
Mr. North, our worthy Post Master,
has on hand u lot of “adjustable book j
covers," aud they cau be fitted to any !
sizo book. He sells them at five cents j
a set They are the very thing, we i
think, for the school children. He hns ;
also a fine lot of stationary, ink, pen- !
oils, etc.
THAT SWITCH.
Some time since we published an ar
ticle about our Schools, stating that
the switch had been taken out of the
hands of the teachers, and instead,
ware required to report to parents all
misdeineauors, etc. The reporting
plan is a good ono if it could be carried
out, but its workings prove it n failure
is j far os boys urn concerned, ; wo spunk
knowingly of the primary department
over which wa preside as teacher.)
In many oases parents tin not punish
ns was expected but simply tell their
children not to do so again. Now' if
those children are reported to the*
Connty School Commissioner, as or
dered, they would at once be suspend
ed, and if no improvement is percep
tible after another trial they would be
expelled entirely. Now expulsion is
u Tory grave mutter, and should not bo
resorted to only-in very desperate coses.
In the workings of this plan, however,
it may result from minor offenses
which could very easily Ik? remedied
by, a very slight application of that
choice medicine known as “hiekory
oil.” Solomon was a very wi -e man,
ancl he says use the rod freely or thy
boy will go astray. We believe in
Solomon, aud would recommend that
the hands of the teachers bo untied.
Parents want it; the boys themselves
ask for it, and the teachers know that
it would be fur better for all concerned.
Some schools may be ran successfully
without the rod but not the Brunswick
Public Schools. In our recent article
cm this subject we recommended a
plan, and, in our judgment, the only
One whereby the present system can
be carried out. It was this: That tie
teachers report promptly, pnrents./fo#
immediately , and Trust::* visit the
lichools often and show that they sup
port the measure. These have not
■Ibcen done. Where the fault lies each
must answer for himself. A heartv
r. , *
co-operation is the only way the pres
ent plan can be worked. If this be
'not done, the sooner the rod is placed
into the hands of the teachers the bet
ter. So say the boys thrmselres.
