Nice Behaviour.

The teacher of one of our public schools was subjected to great annoyance yesterday by the unwarrantable conduct of an adult larrikin, who might be expelted to ' know how to behave himself . This scion of nobility who had been watv shipping too ardently a.t the &hi)ne of Bacchus, made his w^y into the schoolroom dnmn.g> the recess, and persisted m trying to foroo his companionship on the teacher, by whom his attempts to ingratiate himself were indignantly repelled. He still persisted iv his attention, until to escape his unwelcome presence the teacher had to seek safety m an apartment adjacent to the school, the door of which Bite locked m the face of the intruder. There she had to remain until she saw by looking through a crevicu m the wall, that the gay gentleman had token himself off, and when she went to see if the coast was clear she beheld him playing marbles with the children m the street. The lady is naturally very indignant at the wanton insult offered her when no protection was near. The same gentle youth was the hero of a no^ very creditable escapade which happened some months ago, and which should have taught him a lesson as to how to behave, with common decency.
