Belew's Creek - Feb 6 -... We had this winter a four-months school at the oak Ridge schoolhouse, taught by Edwin HERRINGTON.  At the close of the term, the boys demanded the promised treat, and appeared before the teacher with badges on, demanding their dues.  It is said that they had provided a rail, on which to give the teacher a ride, in case he refused their demands; but he compromised with them by paying them a dollar.
