SCHOOL LAW.

From the Lansing Republican.
l. Parties appealing under the statute from
the action OF school inspectors in arranging
school districts, 10 the township board, thereby,
waive those questions which require judicia'
review and submit them themselves to the dis
cretion OF that body; and certiorari to the
town board does not open for review the do
ings OF the inspectors. (Brody VS.. township
board OF Penn 32 Mich 272.)
g II was never intended that court should
exercise any OF these powers OF discretionary
administration, and where on such an appeal
the town board acted with it's jurisdiction, it's
discretion cannot be reviewed by the courts
and il il did not, and its acts were void, then
under the statute the action Of the Inspectors
after ten days. is equally intact and beyond
disturbance (Ibid.)
3. Where, however, the town board, acting
without authority, reverses the action to the
inspectors, their doings may be overturned
but IN order OF the board affirming the action
of the inspectors, whether properly or improp-
erly, only leaves such actions where 1t would
have been without such interference. (Ibid)

Office has long and persistently sought the
talented and accomplished II. c. Burlington,
but he has always refused, preferring to be
sovereign among the people, run witty, in
huentia and widely circulated journal aud re-
ceive donations Of green corn and early cab
bage. But at last, President Hayes and Queen
Victoria united In petition to him to accept
the Office of Commercial Agent, at Chatham,
Canada, and he has torn himself from his
beautiful home, from the facinating delights
OF editorial work with its immense pecuniary
rewards and-gone where duty calls. Amid
the temptations OF high official position he wal
be guarded by the immaculate virtue which
has ever characterized him, by bis beauty OF
person and grace of manners, by the thought
that the eyes OF Conway and the rest OF the
world will be upon him-yet one doubling fear
remains. Immersed in the cares OF serving his
country ne may be totally oblivious OF drawing
his salary.-Dowagiac Republican, May %.

Some time ago the old chap who has been
appointed Commercial Agent to Chatham,
Canada, in the course of some remarks which
he caused to be published in the Decatur Buff
fngtop, said that the next time he came to
Paw Paw me should call at this Office and listen
to some of the big talk" Of the editor. Well,
he was in town one day last week and remained
over nght,-dd not find time to call, but left
word with the boys that Conway might 60 to
hell; that he Buff had vausble Office now,
and didn't care d-n for the old cuss."-
Well, all right, Buff, you are just like one or
two other fellows we have heard Of II seems
that gratitude has no part in your composition.
Now that you have become one OF the pension
ers at the great Public Crib, your future edi-
torial work will be in the interest Of chques
and rings. II you ever had any real independ-
ence, that is now all gone. BY the way, Buff,
won't you tell us how ii looked to outsiders
when they camo along and saw the minister
to Chatham" playing on a shuflle-bo for the
drinks?
