Editor son has been a pupll in one a of the Georgetown schools, and on account of the pressure on it, some of the children had to be transferred to another school. I did not want my boy taken from his classmates, with whom he had advanced to the fifth grade, and said so.
In spite of my earnest protest, an order was given for the transfer, although at the same time several pupils from the county were occupying desks in the school, and probably are yet. Should not these pupils from outside have been removed before the Georgetown children were transferred, particularly where objection was made? A GEORGETOWN MOTHER. Need of a Vagrant Law. Editor -Now that the cold weather 1s approaching, the Intrusive and obnoxious tramp is hieing bimself cityward. The main army of these dirty, impudent, lazy, and always hungry pests is closing in upon us, and families living in the suburbs, away from the "busy baunts of men," and where policemen are as scarce as the tramps will soon be numerous, are growing nervous with apprehension in the contemplation of their appearance.
These fellows invarlably call while the head of a family is absent from home, and timid house-wives are compelled either to spread a rich repast when they come, or else expose themselves to coarse abuse, and menaces not unfrequently accompanied with violence. As a remedy, the Watch dog and the shot gun" have both been sugare gested to your correspondent; but the ladles positively adverse to having the one about the premises, and the other they of course have the feminine compunction about using. Legiglation on this tramp question is desirable. Let some public-spirited lawyer (and we have many such among us) frame a vagrant law and secure its enactment at the next session of Congress. This is a reasonable request.

Who will believe that a man, twenty years old and one hundred and fitteen pounds in weight, crawled through a hole in a stone wall six by eleven inches in size, twenty-five feet from the ground, and escaped down a rope? These were the exact circ*mstances under which Charles Crayton sentenced on Friday last to one year's imprisonment and $100 fine and costs on two indictments for assault and battery, escaped from the Venango county jail at 12 o'clock Monday night. Crayton, together John Murray, convicted of the same offence and sentenced at the same time, was confined in the northwest corner cell, second tier, the one farthest removed from the apartments of the sheriff. Using two case knives, which had been converted into saws, he first cut through the one and a-half inch upright iron bar dividing the window, which is six inches wide.
He then, with a cold chisel, cut into the wall, which is composed of a soft freestone, until he had freed both ends of a flat crossbar of half-inch iron, through a hole in which the upright was passed. Just below the next crossbar above he cut into the upright to a depth of three-sixteenths of an inch, and, inserting one end of a long bed- he and his partner, by apply their united strength to the slat, broke off the bar where the nick had been made. This left a space of six inches wide and eleven inches high. Previously he and his partner had torn their blanket into narrow strips and plaited quite a neat rope therefrom. Securing the rope to what was left of the upright rod, he thoroughly soaped the sides of the opening, soaped his own naked body and wriggled through this small hole, climbed down the rope, dressed himself after his clothes were thrown down by his accomplice and escaped through a storm of rain raging at the time.
His companion, being of task larger frame, did not attempt the hopeless of getting through the window, but went quietly to sleep. There were found 1n the cell two knives, one cold chisel, one penin; hammer and two bags, converted into sacks from the sleeves of a shirt, connected by a cord of sufficient length to bring them, 1 hung over his shoulders, down to his hips, and which may have been used to protect his sides as he edged his way though the aperture, although this is scarcely probable. These were filled with soft bread. Underneath the window were picked up a piece of meat, wrapped in a scrap of newspaper, an old clay pipe, and a string of about twenty-five feet in length, composed partly of strips from his shirt, and partly of hempen cord.

A Mountain of Ice. The ice mountain of Preston county, 1s a great natural curlosity. We went to Rowe burg, then by team three miles up Cheat river, past Vicksburg, and came out upon the northwestern pike. Following it two miles west we came to the ice mountain, situated on the right flank of Flag Run, one-half mile from the pike. A picnic party was being held at the base of the mountain.
After refreshing ourselves with a very cold drink of water from the Twin springs, we ascended the side of the mountaia for some distance and arrived at the ice fleld. It 1s claimed that the ice mountain was discovered by some soldiers in the spring of 1861. Its discovery was afterwards reported agalo, but persons supposed the discoverer was only trying to hoax some one into making a fruitless trip to the mountain. No credence was given to the story until lately, when responsible parties visited the locality. On the north side of the mountain about a quarter of an acre 1s covered with a mass of loose, unstratifled rock, none of which are of any considerable size.
All was covered with a heavy mass of moss, which now is all torn off. No trees grow upon it, only here and there a few small bushes. Removing the loose rock, ice is discovered in small quantities. A thermometer stood 90 degrees in the sun, 80 degrees in the shade, and 48 degrees when placed in the rocks on the ice in their crevices. A cold air 1s present in the crevices, but no strong, freezing currents, as reported.
Hundreds have visited it. The rocks are torn up, and the ice is only obtained now by going down some little depth In the rocks. We suppose, from observation, that the mountain 1s mostly a vast heap of rock, a portion of whose west side 1s more broken and loose than the rest. The porous nature of this portion would admit through its moss covering A considerable amount of water, which, infiltrating between the stone, would rorm ice in just the manner we find it. The ice thus formed would be protected from all external temperature by the non-conducting properties of the vast surrounding mass of rock, The ice mountain, we would suppose.
is nothing but a huge natural stone refrigerator. The common refrigerator depends for its preservation of the ice upon the good non-conductive materials of its sides. So the ice mountain, but naturally, though wonderfully, preserves permanently its 1ce by the vast mass of rock--good non-conducting miterial-which forms its sides. An ice mountain similar in many respects to this one is in Hampshire county, on the North river, a few miles east of Romiey. Divesting the Preston county ice mountain of its marvelous character that exaggerated accounts have given it, it stands a wonderful but plainly possible result of natural Wheeling Register.

But what one thinks in America of cigarette-smoking women one 8000 ceases to think in Europe where It is so frequent.
For does not fat, famous and frolicsome Emily Faithful smoke like a Michigan tug-boat? Does not the duch*ess of Edinburgh enjoy a quiet puff now and then, and even the Princess of Wales have her pretty little cigarette case which she hides profoundly from the smokeabhorring nose of her royal mamma-in-law?

Although smoking ladies are so numerous in Europe one often hears It Insisted upon here that American ladies are the greatest habitual smokers in the world. never saw a lady smoke in America!" I had occasion frequently to say in France, and always with the unsatisfactory feeling that I was not half believed.
Once upon time in Paris I lived several months in an extensive pension des demoiselles. In this flourishing school was Miss a young American of twenty-two, from Boston, a sort of parlor boarder, who had many extra privileges besides that of a private bedroom, when every other pupil slept in a tiny couch in a dormitory that looked exactly like a hospital. "Ah, but your American ladies do smoke, and smoke a great deal more than our French men," said the matron of the school one day. Mile. N.
smokes much more than M. le Protesseur, and if you don't believe it I will some day show you the ashes that come down from her room." I said nothing. And yet I could have told that which would have made madame's golden wig stand up like quills on a fretful porcupine and reduced the matron to state of gibbering idiocy. I could have told that, indeed, many cigarettes were smoked in Mlle. room each night, and that great were the ashes thereof; also could I have told that every night when that huge dormitory full of of pupils the was still and every girl, asleep, four teachers, all girls themselves of from twenty to twenty-two, whose business it was to watch and guard that sleeping fold.
stole softly from their beds, up the attic stairs, across the roof, down a skylight. and thus into Miss N-'s room, where, with a bottle or two of beer and unlimited cigarettes, they smoked, drank and chatted till-goodness only knows how late-as if this were, indeed, not a pension des demoiselles, but a popular Brassene in the Latin Quarter. Girls, girls! how indiscreet!" I exclaimed one night when. returning from the theater after midnight, I was quietly let into Miss N- -'g room, whither I had been attracted by the light, and where I found the smoke so thick that I could only half distinguish five flushed and laughing faces, looking, if truth must be told, more like the merry bacchantes of Rubens' pictures than like the nun-like maidens of a pension des demoiselles in virtuous, monastic France. "Ah, but you will not betray us!" they exclaimed.

A eter What Policemen Cannot Do. UNLESS THEY A HAVE A RIGHT TO MAKE AN ARREST AND USE VIOLENCE THEY ARE TRESPASSER8. Law Journal.
September There 1s a subject to which attention is constantly called by convictions and sentences at the assizes and other criminal courts, and which was lately Illustrated by a judicial decision in the Queen's bench, and appears to require greater consideration than it has hitherto received; we mean the offense of assaulting or obstructing the police in the execution of their duty. The law, while providing peculiarly severe penalties for the offense of assaulting or obstructing them in the execution of their duty, imposes, condition in the very definition of the offense, a that they, at the time of the assault or obstruction, are engaged "in the execution of their duty." This, it 18 obvious, requires careful consideration; yet it 1s too often very carelessly passed over in many classes of cases in which it appears clear that the first act of force or violence emanated from the policeman, he he has attempted to take the man, and or has pushed him, or the like. It is in all such cases to be considered whether the policeman, whether by common law or by statute, had any power to touch the party, either by pushing him or taking him into custody. For, if not, then the man would bave a right to resist him and defend himself from assault, and if death ensued in the struggle the man, if he killed the policeman, would not be guilty of murder, and perhaps not even of manslaughter, and if the policeman killed the man he would be guilty of murder. If a policeman, without a warrant, endeavors to arrest a man for a mere misdemeanor not committed in his presence, the man may resist even to death, and, unless he uses cruelly and unnecessarlly a deadly weapon or deadly violence, even it he kill the policeman, he will not be guilty of murder, and may be legally justifiable.
A constable has no right to arrest a disorderly person unless he is committing or is on the point of committing a breach of the peace; and if he attempts it he may be resisted. And if the constable 1s killed in resisting him it 1s not even manslaughter, unless there is some excess. Thus it is clear that where the policeman attempts to arrest, unless he is legally justitied in arresting, resistance to him to any extent necessary will be lawful and justifiable, and cannot form subject of a criminal charge. on the same principle it is manifest that if the policeman, having no power to arrest, offer any force or violence to the person, as by pushing, this will justify resistance, or 80 far excuse it that he will not be justitied in arresting the party for the resistance; and if he attempts to arrest, the man may resist apprehension, and the policeman if assaulted will not be "assaulted in the execution of his duty," but on the contrary will be guilty of Illegal violence while being lawfully resisted. The police have a notion, for instance, that if any one is drunk, or is making a little noise, the person may be at once arrested and dragged to prison; and daily persons are thus treated, and if they resist are charged with assaulting the police in the execution of their duty, and probably convicted summarily or on a trial and visited with severe punisbment.
Magistrates constantly allow a very loose and arbitrary application of these statutory powers of the police; and some years ago this misapprehension of the law was painfully illustrated. The managing clerk to a large city house going home ore night after dining out, stopped to have a little badinage with a servant girl. A policeman-jealous, perhaps, of what looked like poaching on his manor-roughly told him to go on. The gentleman refused; the policeman pushed and hustled him, no doubt to provoke him; the gentleman resisted; a scuffle ensued in which the gentleman struck a light blow, upon which the policeman arrested him for assaulting him in the execution of his duty; and, supporting the charge by his own testimoDy, the magistrate convicted the accused gentleman, and sent him to prison for a month. A body of gentlemen who knew the unfortunate party--including a barrister of eminencewaited on the magistrate to entreat him to reconsider his sentence; but in vain, and the in some enactment in the police act, mistook sentence was suffered.
It is manifest that the magistrate, misled by the dangerous looseness the law, and too easily assumed that the policeman was justified in using force to compel a person to move on who was simply having a conversation. It is obvious that the accused ought to have been discharged, and the policeman punished and dismissed from the force. A case occurred at the last assizes at Lewes before Mr. Justus Grove which will illustrate the question. A young man sued a policeman for assault, and proved by several witnessesmore than one of them Independent-that he was merely talking with one or two companions at the corner of a street when the policeman suddenly came over and told him to go on, and on his refusing seized him violently and pushed him across the street and knocked him down, and then took him into custody and dragged him through the streets to the police station and lodged him in a cell, where he was imprisoned all Saturday night and all Sunday and Sunday night until Monday morning, when he was discharged by the magistrate.
The constable denied knocking the man down, but admitted pushing him across the road and taking him into custody; and although he alleged that the man struck him, this he admitted was after be had seized him and pushed him; and all he could allege in justification was that the man was "making a disturbance," of which, however, he could give no other definite description than he was talking loudly with two of his friends. Thus. therefore, the question came to this, whether, if a man be talking loudly to a friend at a corner of a street and refuses to leave off when desired to do so, a policeman may selze him, push or drag him along, and if he resists, then drag him off to a police station and place him in a cell for a day or a night until he can be brought before a magistrate on such an utter absence of any legal charge as to be at once discharged. For there is not-as the magistrate's clerk told them -any such offense known to the common law as merely "making a disturbance by talking loudly." And so they discharged the man. But if he had committed no offense then he was entitled to make a counter charge against the constable assault: and he made such charge in the action.
The learned judge also very properly inquired whether there was any police act in force in Brighton that could give peculiar powers to the police beyond the common law, and was told that there was none. He appears, however, to have been under the impression that mere noise, without any idea of a breach of the peace or any approach to a quarrel or affray-mere noisy talking of friends amount to a breach of the peace justifying the exercise of force. Nor will any threat of resistance to himself, if he, without due cause, threatens the use of force, amount to an affray which will justify his arrest of a party, for the affray must arise before he threatens or offers force; and he cannot by his own menace of Illegal violence provoke an affray to justify an arrest. for then it is be himselr who creates the breach of the peace by the threat of Illegal violence. He has in such a case no right to interfere at all.
Mere talking or singing does not at common law constitute an offense or a breach of the peace, and a constable cannot arbitrarily make it one by calling it a "disturbance." Unless there is an actual breach of the peace or an affray, there 1s nothing of which the common law takes cognizance -nothing which justifles a constable's interference, and if he terferes and the parties do not desist and he then threatens force they may threateu resistance, and if he uses force they may resist, and if he suffers any violence (unless excessive) it is his own fault, and if he inflicts violence he is himself civilly or criminally answerable, and if he causes homicide is guilty of murder, while if the person he has assaulted causes death (unintentionally and with no wicked excess) he 1s not guilty of murder or even of manslaughter, but it is excusable homicide.
