He went to Newburyport, and show ing his recommendation, undertook, there, to teach tribe of young ideas how to shoot, for three hundred dollars year. at the end of the first year, if he was liked to have five hundred instead of three, and be engaged for another year--of course they did not like him-(who would if two hundred dollars were at stake? Our Yam kee was dreadfully distressed-all his prospects in life were destroyed, and so, to make all smooth, instead of splitting the difference, they gave him certificate of good behavior, accompanied with hearty acknowledgement of their entire satifaction with his procedure, &c. &c. &c. as tea cher.
