School Troubles in Orange Township. . BRIMFIELD, IND., Jan. 10,78,

Ep. BANNER:—WhiIe the anti-hell-ionists and pro-hellionists are agitating the question of a future punishment; whilethe Republicans are speculating over Chandler’s letter,” and while the country at,large is agitated over the silver bill, the citizens of School District No. 11, in Orange township, are in a terrible stew over the manner in which their school is couducted, which is scandalous and disgraceful in the extreme. The trouble dates back to the school election last fall. One or two of the house-holders being defeated at'the election, made up their minds they would have satisfaction, even if it was at the expense of an innocent party, and consequently laid their plans, and their children made their threats that they would whip the teacher out. These children went to school, determined to do as they pleased, knowing that they would be upheld i it by their parents. They banded together, and when the teacher would attemptto correct one of them, the rest of them would give him to understand that they weuld mnot allow it, and in fact do whatever they saw fit, curse and swear at him during school hours, in presence of all the small scholars, mnale and female. Take their pocket knives and deface the desks, and even broke the panels out of the door of the building, and the teacher, being: a good-natured, inoffensive. sort of a young man, he' lacked the nerve, and did not possess the muscle, to déal with them as they deserved, and the trustee and director both lack the courage to give him the assistance theyshould,and were afraid they would make some enemies if they would enforce the “law. The school, as it is carried on, is a disgrace to the township; instead of it being used to educate the young and teach them good morals, it is really beconiing a school of vice, where the small scholars learn more vulgarity and prefanity from the larger ones than reading and spelling from the teacher, and the 'worst -feature is, the parents of these youngsblackguards want-to be called Christians, and are the first ones’ to find fault with any one else that may happen to do something that is not altogether consistent with their views of morality. Where they learn such christianity, I know not; but one thing I do know: it'is poor religion to practice. Is there no law by which such conduct can be checked ? Teacher, Director, and Trustee, in the name of common decency and for the morality of the school and good name of the community, rise in your might and put a stop to it. The people expect it of you and the law requires it of you. JUSTICE, -

Ground Hog Day.

~ EpiTor BANNER:— The weather prophets were very much puzzled last fall to know what sort of a winter we were! going to have, and are-now all satisfied that so far we have had a very calm winter. S How the balance of the winter will be none knows exactly; but on Saturday next will be ground hog day; and that will decide the question. On thatday, the second of February, that very queer animal is said.to come out of his burrow under ground and take an observation of. the weather, and his subsequent actions will denote whatithe state of the weather will be during the restof the winter months; thatis, if it be a cleas, sunshiny day, so that he can see his shadow, he either immediately returns to his home beneath the soil, or he leaves it for good and all, being assured by the sight of his shadow that the remainder of the winter will be cold ‘and blustery or mild and pleasant. It is one or the other of these ways that his' hogship is said to indicaté the probabilities of the weather. Some declare that if he sees his shadow he goes in, while others are equally positive that if he sees it he comes out. There cannot, however, be the least doubt that the animal knows all:abbut the weather and that his actions on the s_econd day of February are a never-failing test of the weather, the only difficulty being to determine just ‘what his actions are. ILike the old lady’s indigo: She always tested her indigo by putting it inswater when, if it was good, it either sank or floated, and she didn’t know which. So with the ground hog; he either goes in or stays out on seeing his shadow, and nobody seems to know which. v . Hawpatch, Jan. 29. SRS,

Mr. D. R. Locke (Petroleum V. Nasby) has lately assumed the editorship of the New York Mail.

.
