Vern Haas, a 12 year old boy, was before Squire Troxell, this morning, charged with throwing a stiok and striking one of the teachers, while she was passing on the street. On aooount of tbe yonth of the boy, and this being bis first offense* tbe Squire released the boy a reprimand, on his promise of fntnre good behavior. There has lately been apparent a lamentable spirit of hoodlumism among some of onr school boys, and Several of them mnoh older than this boy. and tbe school board have determined to put a stop to it, so far as it effects the school teachers, and the offioers of the law are equally determined to stop it so far as it applies to the publio generally. Any aota of rowdyism on the streets hereafter, whether it be throwing stioks or using offensive language or gestures will hereafter be followed by the arrest and punishment of the offending parties, and no more of them after this will be let off with a reprimand. Toanph an extent has this insftltmi conduct gone that already one of our moat efficient young lady teachers is bn tbe point of resigning her position on aooount of k it. It should be stopped and stopped to stay stopped.
