The original in formation, it is stated, was for maltreat ment, and after the accused was commit ted for trial it was withdrawn and an in ;formation for aggravated assault and battery substituted. The Court declined to-discharae the prisoner. An applica lion was then made for a reduction of ' bail in the case, which had been fixed at $2,000, and which defendant's counsel held was excessive.

A. host of amateurs hi vo volunteered their ser vices for the °maiden, and the entertain ment, which will be of a versatile char acter, will doubtless prove Ifigbly inter esting, and wo hope may be a profitable one to ithe :beneficiary, a s he justly merit it. PITTSBUIEWII THEAi an evening Miss Lucy Clifton, the fivorite comme dienno at the Pittsburgh Theatre, will take a complimentary benefit, on which occasion, a number of favorite amateurs will appear, among the number P. Mc- Dormatt, the champion comic vocalist, and the Barlow Brezhers. The Old Drury will close for the season on Wednesday night. 4' Tau Aoaxigaly.—On Saturday evening, notwithstanding • the exceedingly disa greeable character of the weather, quite a large and respectable audience assem bled at the Academy of Music on the occasion of the opening for the forth coming season of that house as a temple.. of the legitimate drama, under the man agement of Victor Parton, Esq. a Mias Jean Roamer appeared as Lucreti Borgia, and in the portrayal of the deep and alternatingpassions •which mark the character of the wicked poisoner de veloped rare power and brilliancy. She is an actress of great genius, belonging to 'the highest school of histtionic art. The support of the very excellent stock com pany was.alike creditable to the mem bers and the management. Messrs. Bingham, Parton. Farren and Price are all good in their lines, while the remain der of the company, not forgetting Miss Reignold, who is a versatile and pleas ing actress and finished 'vocalist, will compare farorably With any that have graced our boards for a long while past. To-night Miss }learner appears in a role in which she has few rivals, as Elizabeth, Queen of England.. We trust our read ers will extend generous patronage to the Academy under its present first class management, and thus return the com pliment paid our amusement goers by its establisnaient in a dull season in the atrical matters.

Da twitters of school government, teach ers and parents are no doubt influenced by what they believe to be the Divine law. The teachers Inflict punishments, - the scholars receive them, and, the parents acquiesce-perhaps approvingly, because they see nd remedy, or are too indolent or indifferent to make an effort at reform. In the time of Moses, when idolatry was almost universal, and the thoughts and elections of men were immersed in evil and abominations of the most debasing character, there patty have been a neces iity for a severe law to restrain the peo ple, by operating 'on their fears, and the law of, "eye for eye, tooth for tooth; * * wound for wound, stripe for striPe," taught them that the law imposed upon them just such cruelties as they admin istered to others. "Cruel are the tender mercies of the ,wicked." They were thus , compelled by their fears of retaliation ti q; refrain from severe minishments. But this severe law is not suited to the new dispensation established by : Christ, who taught love , for the nelghbor, 'and forgiveness, even for "seventy times severs" , "mss' have heard' that it bath been said; sin eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth, but I say unto yon re sist not nvil; but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, tum i.o hirh the other also." This abolishes the retalia tory law.- And in another place Jesus establishes the merciful law of "As ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." If school teachers would keep thisrule ever in their minds, they would find some gentles and kind ways in which to lead their scholars into obedience, aria instead of hating and fearing their.eachers, the Scholars would yield a loving, obedienc9 to , their commands. But if they insist on the enforcement of the • cruel law, "tooth for tooth, eye for eye, wound . for wound, stripe for stripe," then what should we look for? Will we not find the teachers toothless, blind, wounded and striped If they give, then let them receive the same in kind and quantity, and if the scholar can not repay the debt then let the parents pay it, and If they add a little for interest all the better. the is ood, let it work both ways. lf If itrule is not g goad both ways it is a bad rule, and the teachers should do their best to abolish It. Is it not better to have scholars who will pray for, and bless their teachers, from the fullness of their love, than to have them nurse and hate them, from the soreness of their Chastisements? Next in history we come to King §olo mon-the wise, the Song writer, the man who, <like Ben. 'Franklin, occupied his leisure hours in collecting proverbs from the smart people of his day. One of there forms the basis for corporal pun ishments, and Is often quoted by teach ers, directors and parents, in justifica tion for all their diabolical tortures of the "innocents:: This proydrb I t i s as "Inspiration" ! Perhaps is. but - there is no proof of it being the Word of God. Isle more likely to have emanated from the bottomless pit. But ,`we will examine it. "He that spare' . his rod hateth his son; he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes." But what ,of the daughters? WO) is to spank them? Perhaps Mrs. Solomon had some advice for mothers. But if it is right for fathers to chastise the eons, by what right do the teachers usurn that right? It must not be forgotten that there were no public schools in those days, and that Solomon's advice is not to school teachers. They must look elsewhere for the "enabling act" and justification. The right belongs, exclusively, to the "other alone. As a school director I have no control over a father's cruel actions, and he is the person above all others who should object to teachers assuming' his prerogative. But directors have the light to prevent teachers from exercising a power that should never be - delegated to them, and which they are too ready to assume. Spare the child and hate 1 the rod would be better. . ' But are-, the daughters to escape unspanked, en tirely? What lathe teacher to do , with them? Solomon evidently had a weak- ness for; the daughters-his song is an evidence of that fact. What a sense of refinement one ex periedbes, as he considers this tender sentiment of Solomon! How winning, and affectionate this prectice must seem to the sons, for it is the loving fathers who chastise betimes. • • and those who spare the rod hate the son. But there was a wise man since Solo mon's time, one who manifested a genu ine nobility of lbve for the little ones "Ho took them into his arms and blessed them, and said, of such is the Kingdom of Hsaven." -.. ' , ~Praised be God from whom all • bless ings flow:" - That. Master was always kind :to children. Scaofss DiFtEeTen. Forgot His Promise.
