In one of her classes was a young lady who was a great admirer of Thomas Hood and was constantly quoting from his works. One day the teacher asked this girl what poem of Hood’s was most widely known, and the girl replied, “The tale of the Shirt.” The Boston Budget tells this story of a Boston school on “exhibition day.” The teacher gave out the word “hazardous” for a boy to spell; and, to her great surprise, he promptly spelled it “hazardess.” Thinking that definition might jog his memory in regard to the orthographical blunder of which he was guilty, she asked him to give the meaning, whereupon her astonishment was intensified with the reply, “A female hazard.”

It is under the farms owned by people living near Anderson. An exchange gives the list of eight classes of people who are no good to a town. First, those who go out of town to do their trading.

Seventh, those who oppose every public enterprise that does not benefit themselves. Eighth, those who seek to injure the credit of an individual.
