Thia we call a very careleee and oncalied for act and should be strongly condemned by tbe faculty of the aohool and every good citisen, and the guilty ahould be severely poniebed. Suppose he had ran into the ranks where the small children were there would have been aeveral badly hurt and perhape nearly killed.
