rack. The old schoolhouse did not escape, but was completely destroyed and its floor, with the seats still fastened to it, was found upside down across Whitmore Brook. In its hasty flight it encountered a large horse chestnut tree. Knowledge is power; the tree was no match for the schoolhouse in the general shake — up of that fateful time, and was cut completely off. No scholars or teacher were injured, as it was vacation time, but school was to have begun three days later. In 1846 Miss Mary Gleason was the teacher, at an annual salary of $109.50. She still resides in old Medford, and is now known as Mrs. Otis Waterman; with her the writer had a pleasant interview recently. She at once recognized the scene of her early labors in the cause of education, when shown the original picture from which our illustration is copied. This, though not made on the spot by our special artist in years agone, was made by a member of the Historical Society (himself a later Brooks school boy), as

Disorderly House. --The Mayor yesterday committed Mary Gleason to prison in default of $200 to answer an indictment by the Grand Jury for keeping a disorderly house, where divers persons assemble and get drunk and make a great noise by fighting and swearing, all of which the warrant states is to the disturbance of the neighborhood, so plain a proposition that no one can have the slightest doubt of it.

Mrs. Gleason's visage was rubicond with the generous juice of various expressed and fermented cereals. It was evident from her looks that if she loved to administer creature comfort, she loved also to take it herself.

, was ordered to remain in custody until called for by his officers.--J. M. Worthimer and Solomon Lohenberger were arraigned upon the charge of assaulting and beating William Jacobs. These gentlemen evidently felt much chagrined at being found in such a predicament; but as they had no witnesses, they were required to give security in a small sum ($100) for their future good behavior. --Maurice Dennis was fined $10 for having his house, where ardent spirits are sold, open on Sunday last.--Mary Gleason was fined $10 for keeping her shop open after 10 o'clock P.

Mr. Brown. Case continued to this morning.

appearance there and his good behavior in the mean time. Mrs. Teresa H. Kennedy and Mrs. Page Adams came for ward on the charge of abusing and disturbing Mrs. Amelia Blake, who let them and the spectators present know what she thought of them. Mr. K., an amiable man, was present, and suggested that it might not be amiss to bind over both his better half and Mrs. Blake to keep the peace; but His Honor told Mr. K. that he ought to manage his wife himself, and dismissed the case. Mary Gleason, alias Broderick, was again required to give surety for her good behavior, having forfeited her bail bond entered into a few days ago. Jacob Keck, fined $10 on Monday for selling fresh meat after market hours, came forward to have his case re-opened. The court heard his story, and relented so far as to reduce the fine by one-half.

The following cases were also disposed of: Patrick Shay and John Doland, two fast boys, following the example set in Broad street on Friday, kindled a rousing fire on the South side of the Basin on Sunday, but unluckily for themselves, went to tearing one of Mr. Crenshaw's houses down to feed the roaring flame. The police suddenly put a stop to the fun, and the Mayor yesterday ordered them into winter quarters. Mary Donahoe had a shawl which Mary Gleason claimed; Mary No. 1. was arrested and confronted with her accuser, but the proof of guilt was lacking, and she was discharged from custody. The shawl was given to Mary No. 2, who proved the ownership of the property. Patrick McCarthy was arraigned to answer a charge of threatening personal violence to Mary Valentine, who testified that he turned his mule into her premises, and she turned it out again; that he then threatened to burn her house, and tear down her fence, and called he
