BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Re-Appointment of Mr.. vickers as Librarian
and Mr. Peaslee as Superintendent Of

Schools.
The School Board met in regular session
last night, President Mussey in the chair.
The State Legislature having appropriated
81, 400 for the education of the deaf and
dumb, the Committee on Ungraded Schools
was instructed to report rules for the man
agement of the fund.
$11 900 was appropriated for the cleaning
and repairing of school-houses during the
summer.
The nomination of Thomas Vickers as
Librarian of the Public Library was taken
up.
DR.. Davis, of the Ninth Ward, opposed
his appointments. He said that Mr.. Nickers
had failed to make the Library accessible
that he had shown lack of executive
ability and had failed in the proper man
agement of his subordinates, that, added to
this is the gentleman's inability to get up a
catalogue of the books in the Library.
DIR. Davis further said that he had been
informed that Mr.. Nickers was in the habit
of going to public drinking places with
teachers and of drinking himself hilarious
and then drunk.
Mr.O'Neil was in favor of appointing Mr..
Vickers and defended him against the fight
made by Dr. Davis.
The appointment was confirmed-yeas

The prisoner was Immediately after
ward placed on trial on the second
charge, that of abducting a girl under
sixteen years Of age. The witnesses
were the same as in the previous case,
and the evidence much to the same
effect. The mother testified to her
daughter going to bed on the night of
the Esd of September, but on the oath
she was missing; that on the 25th she
found her in the prisoners company,
but after the marriage ceremony had
been performed. 1t also came out that
Black had been seen with horse and
buggy the night of the abduction, and
had told another Indian that he was
going to run away with the girl. The
father of the young woman, when asked
why he objected to the match, said it
was because he was an Indian, and he
didn't want any Indian blood in his
family, for he had seen enough of them.
In this trial the jury had not agreed

Horrible Burnings in Russia.

TIE Russian Courier reports shock
ing disaster from Volodarock, in the
Government of Kieff. A Jewish boy
had been ordered at eight o'clock in
the evening of the 9Th ult. to fetch
some kerosene from barrel that stood
in an clubhouse. The barrel contained
nearly twenty vedro of this dangerous
oil. After filling his oil-can, the boy
attempted to turn the tap of the barrel
by the help of a candlestick, in which
there was a lighted candle. In doing
so, however, the light fell from the can
dlestick into the oil-can, instantly kind
ling the kerosene. The boy fed in ter
rOr, overturning the can in his flight.
The flames rapidly spread, and the
people in the house, followed by neigh
bors, ran up to the scene of the con-
flagration. Some of the crowd were
attempting to get the barrel of kero-
sene into the open air. when an ex-
plosion occurred, covering everybody
who was near with the burning oil.
These unfortunate persons rushed from
the Clubhouse among the crowd which
had collected outside, and thus set
many of their clothes on fire. Alto
gether there were thirty-seven persons
attacked by the flames, of whom, at
the date of this report, eighteen had
already died, while there was little
hope for many of the others. Another
terrible calamity from fire took place
on the 18th ult. at Laisheff, in the
Kasan Government. The son of peas
ant was celebrating his wedding, and,
according to the custom, at night,
after the conclusion of the festivities,
the newly-wedded pair were conducted
to their chamber and locked in by the
best man. The latter soon afterward
retired to rest with the remainder of
the company, who were all "strongly
alcoholized." At three o'clock in the
morning fire broke out in the house,
and the intoxicated inmates were all
burned to death, with the exception of
the father of the bridegroom. 1t was
found that the newly-married couple
had managed to open the door of their
chamber, but were unable to penetrate
through the sea OF fire which surround
ed them. On the extinction of the fire,
their corpses were found near each
other partially burned to asnes.

Beating a Lawyer.

A MILLIONAIRE who lived and died in
the vicinity of this city, as he felt his
last days drawing nigh. summoned a
distinguished neighbor and lawyer, who
since has occupied one of the highest
positions in the gift of the representa-
tives of the people, to prepare a last will
and testament. When the will was
drawn, the dying man said, II propose
to make you my executor, and shall
require no bond from you. Write that
also" The ex-Judge complied. after
thanking his client, and promised to
execute the will to the best of his
ability.
"What is your bill for drawing up
my will?' asked the millionaire.
"Oh, under the circumstances, of
course shall charge you nothing" was
the answer.
"But,' said the other, ''that is not
my way of doing business. Make out
and receipt bill for your service and l
will pay You now"
"Well,. since you insist, will make
out bill for nominal sum-say
twenty-five dollars" And this MEM
Der of the bar, who seldom draws breath
without charging some one for the
respiration. made out and receipted for
twenty five dollars a bill which, under
other circumstances, would have been
five hundred dollars.
The good man died and was buried.
When the will was read it was found
that the name of his son had been
inserted in place of that of the dis
tinguished lawyer. The ruling passion
was strong in death. The man who
knew how to accumulate wealth UNDER
stood the value of tightly drawn will
and the difference between twenty-five
dollars and five hundred dollars. He
had merely copied the words in the
order they were written by his legal
friend and thus had obtained an irrefrag-
able will at small cost, and an ex-
ecutor of his own choosing. Cincinnati

A Horses Revenge.

Y The Society for the Protection Of
Animals is not remarkable for its &C.
tivity in this country. The police ,ap-
pear to think it no business of theirs
when carriers or coachmen brutally NAL
treat their horses in the streets, or when
boys lamuse themselves by tortufing
dogs and cats, or whatever other Great
ures have the ilFluck to fall into their
hands. The horses would appear to be
aware Of the supineness of their sup
posed protectors, for they have taken
the matter into their own hands, or
rather into their own teeth and feet. "A
carter by dint of hard flogging at his
three horses, persuaded them to drag
sixteen tons of coal to the foot of the
steep hill which leads to the Boulevard
Bessieres; but his powers of stimula-
ton utterly failed to induce them to
proceed any further-a thick steam rose
up from their painting sides and nostrils.
Budget said the fiend; and straight
way the carter began to lash and swear.
A crowd gathered around the ferocious
beast, who abandoned the lash and be-
gan to bang his stick into their heads
and kick them with hob-nailed boots in
the sides. The leader of the team took
upon himself to protest against this ex-
IRENE measure. He turned round,
seized the carriers arm with his teeth,
tossed him to the ground and trampled
him with his hoofs; then seized him
again with his teeth and tossed him
about. The crowd and the police,
which had looked approvingly on while
he tortured the horses, interfered for
the protection of the human monster,
who was with great difficulty torn
bleeding and mangled from the just
equine resentment. He is justly pun
ished: but surely some penalty should
be inflicted on the railway company
which sent out this heavy load of coal
to be drawn uphill by three horses,
when twice the number would have
barely suficed for the work. The

According to the Mosite'sr DIES Fro
daits CHM, celluloid is now, though
somewhat tardily, being turned to con-
siderable practical account in an indus
trial way. It is prepared by subjecting
ordinary paper to the action of a mix
ture Of nitric and sulphuric acids, wash
ing this till all trace of acid disappears,
drying the product, powdering the
same, and mixing it with camphor; to
this succeed drying and repeatedly
pressing the mixture, and at last apply
ing heat, when the celluloid appears in
the form of transparent, elastic rods or
slabs. AS it is hard, and not easily
broken at ordinary temperatures, sus-
ceptible of high polish, and capable of
being cut into extremely thin plates, yet
elastic, and, at high temperature, mall
leable, plastic and even fusible, it is
coming more and more into use in the
manufacture of light articles of q GER
tain description -such as the rims of
eye glasses, various cheap ornaments,
cigar cases, etc., and when colored, as
q means of initiating ebony, lapis lazuli
and malachite. It has also been en-
ployed in making elastic belts, trusses.
ETC., and in various dental applications
it has been found peculiarly useful.
