A peculiarly shocking tragedy is re-
ported by telegraph from Wheelock, Vt A
man named Byron Blake murdered his mother,
sister and stepfather with knife and then
hung himself. The murderer was 26 years Of
age. He had six years ago spinal difficulty,
which occasionod the loss Of reason. He was
confined in an asylum two years, and when he
returned home was considered safe, but was OF
ugly temper, as in fact he had always been.
His mother was 69 years old, the stepfather "a
years.
Hon. Henry ID. Foster, ex-Congress-
man from Pennsylvania, and at one time
leading Democratic politician in that State, is
dead.

horrible as 10 almost staggor belief in their
Authenticity. Tho maniac murderer and sui
eide was young man named Blake, and his
victims were his mother CMrs. williams), sister
and stepfather. The account goes on TO state
that the murderer dubbed them all TO
death with shotgun, breaking the
lock of tho gun being found entangled in hes
hair. The stock lay by her sido Tie walls,

school Law.

Official rulings and decisions under
the School law have been compiled by
the Lansing Republican, as follows
1. In all elections Of district officers, in grad
ed well as prinlary-school districts, the cleo
ton must be by ballot. An informal vote by
ballot, followed by n formal vote by acclama-
ton, will not constitute legal election.
2. School-district officers cannot legally be
elected by mere plurality vote. but only by a
majority Of all the votes cast. In electing Off
GERS school district acts in its corporate ca
pacity and no corporate action can be had
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
greatest number of votes cast shall be deemed
elected, but there is no similar provision in re-
lation to school-district officers, and the failure
on the part of the Legislature to make such Is,
to say the least. significant.
3. Votes taken at school-district meeting,
directing the board to employ certain teach
er, or specifying the grade of certificate the
teacher must hold, or naming the wages TO be
paid the teacher, must be considered merely as
advisory, and not obligatory upon the District
Boards.
4. A school-district meeting has no au' hority
TO vote that there shall be no school maintained
during the year, and when such n vote has been
taken it must be regarded as void
5. 1t is the positive duty of the District
Board to make provision for legal school in
ea, h year, and II members of board neglect
or refuse to do this they are each liable to fine
and removal from Office.
6. No district moneys can be applied to the
maintenance of any school of sectaran char
acter, whether the same be under the control
Of religious society or made sectarian by the
District Board. The fact that the teacher ON
poyed holds legal certificate will not legalze
snch school.
7. The law gives to District Boards the power
ID prescribe and require uniformity of text
books, but no authority to purchase, Mt the ex-
pense of the district, textbooks for all the chill
dren who may attend school, but only for such
children as are too Door to buy for themselves

An AstOnished Sultan.

The Viennese conjuror, Hermann,
has lately been in Constantinople, vain
ly endeavoring to amuse the Sultan, but
he succeeded in astonishing him. The
Paris correspondent of the London
NelUs tells the story:
1.-THE scene was q boat moored in the
Bosphorus. will you obige me, said
Hermann to the Grand Vizier, by
throwing your watch overboardp' The
Vizier looked doubtful, but the Sultan
nodded, and the watch sank glittering
through the sea. Now said Hermann,
will some one kindly give me fishing
rod?' A rod was brought, line, and a
hook, which the conjuror baited before
the eyes of the Sultan. He soon had q
nibble. struck, and after an exciting in
terval had fine fish in the land-net.
Hermann opened the fish and took out
the Vizier's watch, still keeping capital
time" depressing strong inclination
to refer to the ring of Polyertes, he goes
on to prove that Hermann can giggle
as well for the willy Muscovite as the
gallant Turk. "While amusing the
Autocrat of all the Russias, he broke a
large, magnificent mirror. The super
sttious potentate WINGED, for to break a
mirror is unlucky, and curtain was
thrown over the glass. Hermann went
on with his tricks for while, then sud-
denly exclaimed, 1 forgot the glass !;
ook at i t. The curtain was removed,
and there was the mirror, whole and
unharmed"

A Whistle i'm the WindDipe.

A remarkable accident, says the Lon
don Lancet, which occurred recently,
and ended fatally, at Sherborne, in
Dorset, illustrates the danger attending
q very common juvenile practice. Small
tin whistles, which enable boys 70 imi-
tate "Punch," are sold in large quanti-
ties. A boy named Ridout made an
imitation of this toy, and was nsing it
about four months ago, when it slipped
into his throat. All efforts to dislodge
it were unsuccessful, and about month
since the boy became an impatient of
Yeatman Hospital, Sherborne, and was
under the treatment of Drs. Williams
and Davies for month, during which
time it was ascertained that the obsta-
Gle had got down deep into the trachea,
and appeared to be fixed there; but as
the symptoms were not urgent it was
decided to wait, and at the expiration Of
the term he left the hospital. A day or
two afterward his parents wished to get
him admitted again, but on the next
morning he was discovered dead In bed.
He had appeared better during the
previous day. and had been out for a
walk in the country. On post-mortem
examination the piece of tin was dis
covered impacted IN the larynx. 1t had
worked it's way upward, and got fixed
Ia the cricoid cartilage. Here slight
liberation set in, which liberated two
of the four corners OF the little square
of tin, and allowed it to turn on the
axes OF the other two corners. AS long
as the obstacle lay edge-ways breathing
went on, but the instant the piece fell
fiat the breath was completely stopped,
and death occurred.
