The BEScH.-Supreme Judges are
all elected for term OF twenty-one
years under the new constitution, even
when they are to GIL vacancies and
they are ineligible TO reelection. Each
Judge in turn becomes Chief Justice
when he is the senior member OF the
Court. Had Chief Justice Agncw been
reelected, he would have gone back to
the rear Of the bench, and could only
have reached the Chief Justiceship
again atthe close ofa twenty-one years
term. Judge Sherwood will become
Chief Justice in January, next, and
should the present members of the Court
all live and serve out their terms Mer-
cur would succeed Sharswood as Chief
Justice in January, 1883, to serve four
years Gordon would then succeed
Mercur to scrvo one year Paxson first
(twenty.one year tcrm) would thcn
succeed Gordon TO serve six years ;
Turnkey would succeed Paxson to
serve three years, and Sterrett would
succeed Turnkey to serve one year.

J. Faucher, Of Brooklyn, WHO in 1866,
at tho age OF 10 years, had her nervous
system completely shattered By an ac-
cident which beicll ber whilst stepping
from street car, aud by which she wos
dragged over the pavement block. In
February, 1866, Miss Fancber Lost sll
her senses, even her senses oft0ucb, aud
did not take any food until May, but I
she lost her speech in a few weeks snd
became subject 10 trsncct. J.. June

sick. As resnlt her throat closed, and
she was unable TO take any nourishmcnt
OF utter sound For twelve years she

twelve years size has virtually lived
without food. Sincc the 4tb Of July
her eyelids have remained closed. Her

more extraordinary than her physical.
She has the power Of second sight.
All places ore alike open 10 her men

A WONDERFUL STogY.-On Tuesday
night last, Leonidas Grover,who resided
in the vicinity of New,own, Fountain

probably without parallel in this or any
other country. Mr.. Grover was wild.

daughter aud her husband. On the eve-
ming referred to the married couple had
been absent on visit TO some neigh
bors, and upon returning at late hour
entered the house, finding everything
to all appearances In usual order, and
supposng that Mr.. Grover had already
retired, went TO bed themselves.
Next morning tho daughter arose,
and having prepared breakfast, went TO
the adjoining room 10 call her father,
and was horrifed &c iind him lying up
on his shattered bed, q mutilaied corpse.
Her screams brought the husband quick
" TO the bedroom, and an inspection
disclosed ragged open ipg in the root,
directly over the breast Of The untoriu
pate man, which was torn through rs II
by n cannon shot, and extending down
ward through the bedding aud foori
other holes showed the direction taken
by the deadly missile.
Subsequently, search revealed tho fact
that the awful calamity was caused by
the fall ola meteoric stone, aud the
stone itself, pyrami,ial in shape and
weighing twenty pounds and q few
ounces avoirdupois, and stained with
blood, was nneartbed from depth OF
nearly FIVE feet, thus showing the fear.

dwelling. The position Of the corpse.
with other surroundings, when found
showed that the victim was asleep when
stricken, and that death TO him was
painless. Indianopoh journal.
