BOSTON,, Feb. 16.-The Committee on
Federal. Relations of the Legislature has
reported on the fisheries question to the
effect that the recent legislation of the Ca

the actions of the authorities there toward
our citizens engaged ip that pursuit con

any unjust seizures that have been made.

Summer Eating.

and all articles of food have those two ele ments
IN waving ps9poraont o Gus, tsiow AND whale
ment; hence In Greenland, where the thermom-
eter Is many degrees below zero, and great
deal Of heat Is required, O native win drink half
pounds Of tailow. In the hottest climates of the
world the Inhabitants live to a great extent on
fruits and vegetables, which have but very little
Of the heating qualities. In our climate, which
Is between the two, meats, vegetables and fruits
are eaten all the year round; but If eaten tu-
diciously, IL eaten according to the season-lnOre
Of fruits and vegetables In summer and less Of
meats and fats-an incalculable amount Of sick
ness would be prevented every year. We would
think a man deranged who should keep as large
fires burning in his house in summer as I'm win
ter, and yet we all persist in eating meats and
fats and butter all through the summer. Meats
and butter are on our tables three times a day,
when in reality they ought to be sparingly used
during the summer months, at least by the young,
the old and feeble, and by all who are mostof the
time IN door, or who have no active employment.
For the classes just named very appropriate
diet for the summer would be as follows: Break
fast-Cold bread and butter, slice of cold meat,
or in its place a couple of eggs, or a saucer Of
berries or stewed fruit without miik, cream, or
sugar. The same for dinner, with one vegeta-
BILE; no other dessert For supper some cold
bread and butter, and cup of hot drink, and
nothing else; nothing Whatever between meals.
So far from starving on such a died the class OF
persons above named would thrive on It, would
grow stronger, would have more bodily vigor,
more mental elasticity, and a greater flow OF an
imal spirits, and for the reason that few would
eat too much; there would be nothing to over
tempt the appetite, hence the stomach would
not be over-worked; what work It did perform
would be wen done; the blood made wonld be

An Awful Tragedy.

A School Teacher Shot Bead Among Her Scholars
~ q Rejected Suitor-Attempted Suicide of
the Murderer.
A letter from Lagrange, Ind, under date OF
june q, to the Cincinnati Commercial, gives the
following account OF the cold-blooded murder Of
q young school-teacher in Lagrange County,
Indiana:
Mis- Anna Dwight, a school-mistress, was
murdered, yesterday, at Stone Lake school
house, about ten miles from here, In Van Buren,
Township, BY young man named Chsuncy
Barnes, Of Elkhart County. Barnes left his
fathers house yesterday morning, walked to
White Pigeon, four miles distant, hired horse
and buggy there, and taking with him a woman
whose name and character are not yet known,
went to the school-house where Miss Dwight
was teaching, Miss Dwight was at the time
enjoying the noon recreation with the school
children on the margin of the lake near by,
woman called Miss Dwight to the buggy side
when Barnes alighted and asked her TO walk
with him, as he wished tospeak to her privately.
She consented, and they went a short distance,
and sat down On log and conversed a few min
utes, when Barnes was seen to rise, draw q reyol-
yer from his pocket, and fire two shots at her
She fell at the first fire. He then presented the
pistol at his own head, and fired several times.
Two children ran frightened to neighbor near
by, who ran Immediately TO the spot, found Miss
Dwight dead, and the young man reloading his
pistol. He and the woman were promptly placed
In custody, and Surgeon Elliott of White pig
con, sent for. The doctor reports four wounds
In Barnes head, two OF which entered the brain,
and that this would eventually prove fatal An
examination of the parties was had before JUS
tice Galloway, the young man committed to Jail,
and the woman held to bail in the sum of 81 200,
Chas. Dwight, the father Of the murdered girl,
going her bail. The young man was brought to
Jail last night, and Is this morning resting tOler-
ably comfortable. The physicians here are not
so certain as 10 the seriousness OF his wounds.
Great excitement prevails in the vicinity of the
homicide. The neighbors are prepared to finish
the work the young man attempted on himself,
but Mr.. Dwight protested against il, and bet
ter judgment prevailed. There Is some comment
on the fact of the father of the murdered girl
bailing the woman. The only supposed cause of
the murder is the rejection of Barnes as q sutton
a short time ago, and the acceptance by Miss
pistol used was a small six-shooter. Barnes has
been clerking in grocery store at White Pig
con, Mich, lately, and had borne a good char
