WHOLE NO. 1878.

Those OF our readers who remembar Rev.
Mr.. Bayliss, the evangelist who held series of
meetings in this village nearly two years ago.
may be interested in the following. from the
Detroit News of Sept. 1s;
The first announcement of the sudden and
mysterious disappearance OF Rev. Mr.. Bayliss,
of Corunna or Maple River, was accompanied
by very we'll defined rumor that there was
woman in the case, and subsequent develop
ments show that the rumors were indeed well
founded. A gentleman doing business in this
city informs News reporter that the whole
story is all too true and that there is not
shadow of doubt but that this man Bayllss has
not only shamefuy abandoned his amable
wife and four children, but has by his persist
ent practice OF the arts Of a willy seducer
wrought ruin and misery In another hitherto
happy home.
The story of shame runs as follows: Last
winter during series OF meetings held by Bay
liss at Maple River number Of people became
converted, and among them one who was then
and afterward subject OF special solicitude on
the part Of Bayiss. She was a farmers wife.
OF fine appearance and more than average in-
telligence, and was the mistress OF happy,
comfortable home. Her husband, to whom she
had been married about IA years. was Mr. Hen
ry Phoenix, whose valuable farm OF 200 acres
hes about three miles south of Owosso. From
meeting Mrs. Phoenix at church to meeting
her at her house was an easy step, but Mr.
phoenix-seeure, as he thought, in the love Of
his wife-never for moment suspected any.
thing wrong, though he never took much stock
III Bayss. He treated him well and that wss
all. On the other side OF the house, however,
clandestine love had sprung up, which was
perpetuated in q candestine correspondence.
On the I'd instant the scene changed TO Detroit,
when Mrs. Phoenix left hcme to come to this
city TO visit the family of the Detroit business
man above alluded TO. She evidently stopped
on the way somewhere, for she did not arrive
here until the night OF Wednesday, aud subse-
quently received note supposed to have been
written by Bayliss. On Friday she left, saying
she was going home, but she did not go farther
in that direction than Durand, where she met
Baylss, who had been there waiting for her,
having registered at the hotel as Mr.. Leland"
He was recognized there by man who bad at
tended hls religious meetings, but he haughtiiy
informed the person that he was " Mr. Leland"
and was not Mr.. Bayliss. a few moments later
he ordered bis horse. and, accompanied by Mrs.
Phoenix. drove away from the hotel II 10
thought that he returned to Maple River after
this and there was seen for the last time by
members Of bis family Up to last night Mr..
Phoenix had not heard word from hs de-
parted wife nor had any one else learned of the
whereabouts of the assumed guilty pair. The
keenest sympathy is expressed for Mrs. Bayss
and ker children and for Mr.. Phoenix, who is
described as one OF the best OF husbands and
every way worthy citizen.

SCHOOL LAW.
the Lansing Republican.

From the Lansing Republican.
/. School district officers cannot legally be
elected 10y mere plurality vote, but only by a
maj jority of ali the votes cast. In electng
ofiic ers, school district acts in it's corporate
capacity, and no corporate action can be bad
without the concurrence Of the majority. In
case OF the election of county and state officers,
the constitution and the statutes have made
special provision that the person receiving the
creates. number OF votes cast shall be deemed
elected, but there is no similar provision rela-
tive 10 school district officers, and the failure
on the part OF the Legislature to make such is,
to say the least, significant.
2. A district board should act together. IL is
not necessary for valid Official action that all
the members OF a board be consulted, but an
oppol tunity must be gwen TO all the members
to express themselves and vote upon the ques
tions under consideration.
8. Votes taken at 4 school district meeting,
directing the board to employ certain teacher,
or specifying the grade OF certificate the teach
er must hold, or naming the wages to be paid
the teacher must be considered merely as ad-
visory, and not obligatory, upon the district
board.
