One of the schoolboys died we gave him a military funeral, the com- pany marching in the procession to Yan- tic cemetery, and, after the service end- ed, firing a volley over the grave, as I remember it, rather a scattering volley. On our return some. street boys spoke disrespectfully of ‘us, whereupon W charged upon them with bayomets and put them to ighominous flight. We had, of course, our commissioned officers, and we had a sergeant nafed John Fish Lyon, or, as we disrespectfully called him; John Fishline. ~Sergeant Lyon one day was left in command of the com- pany, owing to the absenec of his supe- rior 'officers, and in drilling us he or- dered us to advance in line over the front lawn toward the street, while he walked backward before us, all his attention upon his duty as drill sergeant, and none upon the danger in his rear, until he sud- denly struck his leg against the rim of the fountain and fell backward into its waters. We had a literary soclety called the Hubbard Rhetorical society, named after the first president of fne board ef trus- tees, Russell Hubbard, Esq., great-uncle of the late Charles L. Hubbard. Russell Hubbard used to own and occupy the brick house at the top of the Broadway hill where Timothy Murphy' now lives. To be president of the Hubbard Rhetori- cal was counted a great honor among the pupils, and I recall an election when the candidates for president were Edward Selden, son oi Col. Joseph Selden, long U. S. collector of internal revenue, and older brother of Rev. Mr. Selden of this city, and Alpheus Gilbert. The first principal of the Academy, Prof. Elbridge Smith, was still in office when I began my course, but was called elsewhere at the end of my junior yeur. Professor Smitn was a learned and £00d man and a good teacher of pupils disposed to learn. Unfortunately, many | boys are more disposed to play than to work, and such boys imposed on Pro- fessor Smith. I have called your atten- tion to the white marble topped wash- stand structure and the white mugs in the boys' wash room. These were the means of a trick which the boys played repeatedly on the professor. A boy would fill a mug with water and place a small Dlece of White paper over its top. Then by a sudden skilful movement the mug could be placed upside down on the mar- ble slab without spilling the water. Pro- fessor Smith was a very orderly man, and coming through he Wash room and seeing a mug out of place, his first im pulse was to pick up the mug and put it where it belonged. Of course when the inverted mug was suddenly picked up the water which it contained flew everywhere it ought not, and especially upon Pro- fessor Smith. The hoys were forbidden to go into the main hall on the ground floor without special permission, and therefore they would sometimes go thither at retess for a game of bull in‘the ring, not a quiet sport, for the express purpose of making the professor go after them. When he heard the noise he would fome, and the boys would run. The istees at that time were solicitous as to the fine pa- pearance of the echool lawn. and in the spring the lawh near the front door was liberally covered with stable manure. One day while this fertilizer surrounded the front porch, the boys played bull in the ring in the main hail at recess; the professor ran to catch them; the boys escaped by the front door, jumped off the side of the porch, intending to_run round the building;_ the professor pur- sued onto the porch and jumped off the side after them, but caught his toe on one of the scrapers I have mentioned, and fell on his nose in the fertilizer. There was a boy in_school pamed Bd, whose tricks, if he still plays them, are played now in another world. One day, when Professor Smith was presiding in the school room, ¥d, who for some for- mer misconduct, had been sentenced to sit at the very front desk of all, roHed a ball across the floor. The profes- sor heard and saw the ball, but not knowing who had rolled it, called on the boy who rodled the ball to rise and con- fess. No one rose, and the professor proceeded to ask every boy in school whether he rolled the ball. In the inter- est of the inquiry, the professor stepped down from the platform onto the school- room floor and advanced a little way, 0 that while all the other boys were be- fore him, Ed.was behind him. “Jones,” said the professor, “did. you ball? 0, sir,” replied Jones. did you rtoll the ball?” “NS, Smith. So every boy before the sor was asked, and everyone replied in The professar was shock- al r. ! the negativ ed at the untruthfuiness of the boys, and ' | said, “Bovs. one of you has told me a lie, and he delivered a short address on the wickedness and folly of lying. The boys did not receive his homily with as much attention as it seemed to him to deserve, and actually began to laugh. Something made the professdr turn round, and there sat Ed behind_ him. Fd.” said the professor, “did you roll the hall?” “Yes, sir,” said Ed. You may imagine the professor's feelings, and I will not attemnt to desoribe them. There was a platform in the large hall on the third floor, corresponding to the platform in the school room, and at graduation and other solemn occasions the trusteas sa* at the back of this platform, the president in their center. In both the schoolroom and the hall a the platform, leading, on the school floor, into the principal's room, and, on the third floor, to a room corresponding to the principal's room. The surface of the platform was raised perhaps two feet ahove the floor of the room behind it, and. to allow accees between the platform and the room in its rear. door opened into the room, and a flight of perhaps three steps, necessarily - cut into the platform, was provided. It therefore was necessary for persons, sitting near the rear of the-platform, to beware of the staps. On the oocasion of some solemn scholastic ceremony, the trustees dignifi platform, and the venerable president, General William Williams, whose house is now the Park church parsomage, graced the centre of the line, the atten- tion of the audience was suddenly di- verted from the programme by an unm- advertised feature. The president of the board suddenly disappeared backwand. Nothing remained visible ‘but his legs, kicking wildly in the air. He had push. ed his chair too far back and fallen backwards down the stairs, where the door held him standing on his head. On the ocogsion of my own graduation while I was speaking my graduation oration, 'a_little dog of my soquaint- ance, which had come to ses me grad- uate, was s much pleased that he ran onto the stage and hegan to jump upon me. How, I don't know, but, somehow, fihgot through my piece without breaking wn. Professor Smith was sueceeded by Professor William Hutchison, 2 man as smuch loved as his predecessor, and mors respected - No one played tricks on Mr. Hutchi- son. He mmintained good discipline, and a to rs of 2 tion. Outside of school the boys found him the besi of companions.
