Decisions.

l. A poll-list is not necessary in taking
any vote in school meeting, except
when voting upon issuing bonds of the

and the polls kept open two hours.
2. A Township Superintendent should
withhold the teachers certificate until
the institute fee is paid. When he
grants n certificate he becomes RESPONSE
BILE for the fee, as the law gives him no
authority to trust, and he is required to
pay to the County Treasurer at the close
of each quarter the fee for each certif.
cate granted during the quarter.
3. An action of district meeting,
which the clerk of the meeting failed to
record, is not void through such failure,
provided such action can be proven by
other testimony.
4. 1t is not legal for the Township
Treasurer to pay district moneys to any
person other than the Assessor, and then
only upon the proper warrants.

one of those sportsmen came into the

strings OF birds, composed mainly of
ducks, but a few prairie pheasants,
chickens and cartridges, and few wood

OF which there must have been over $50
birds, were of the mallard duck with n
few red-heads and canvas-backs, and
here and there sprinkled through the
string were green-wing or red-wing teal

The following singular case is one

happen to fix suspicion on innocent peo-

remembering that he had had the money

he felt in his pocket as if he had lost
something. Then, looking down, he
saw roll of bills on the floor, picked it
up and counted it. There was Just 500.
and from it he paid for what he had
bought. A week later the second per-
son returned the 800 to the first. with
the following strange explanation
On the day referred to he had been
out to Windsor to collect some money.
and III his haste to return to Hartford
thrust lt-$1O0 Ill bills, rs he supposed
INTO his vest-pocket When he went
into the market above referred to. he
naturally felt for his money, and, missing
1t, looked around for it, and saw the roll
on the floor, which he supposed was his
own.
He had used it during the week. and
only on that day had he put on his work
ing coat. While at work he wanted Il
match and, in feeling through the
pockets of his coat, to his establishment
he found the 800 he had put there in
stead of into his vest pocket.
As soon as possible he went to the
market to see If any one had lost that
sum of money, and this led to general
settling all around. He did not know mt
that time that he had been suspected of
the theft, and did not imagine that he
was III danger of arrest.

A CURIOUS experiment i'll railroad

1t was new, single-track road. The
temporary track was 900 feet long, the
ties being fence-posts, on which the track
was nailed with ten-penny nails. The
engine. loaded with coal and water.
weighed nine and one-half tons. The
rails are of wood, and the wheels broad

face. The cars are hung within three
inches of the track. The engine and
loaded car attached, weighing in all
twenty-five tons, went rapidly mp a 200
foot grade, making excellent time. 1t
is claimed that the wear and tear is not
such as might he expected, and that an
immense gaining in freights can be
made by building these roads, which
cost but little for construction.

4 Terrible Experience.

Rashness and carelessnesS cause many
of the accidents by flood and field. .
Men, III order to save Il few minutes OF
time, or a walk of mile, will take risks
that would brighten the President of an
accident insurance company.
An English gentleman, civil engi-

perience while looking death in the face
The occasion of it was his rash careless
ness i'll jumping from n railway car
while in motion.
Els residence was near the line of the
railroad, but the station was Il mile or
two further on. One night he was COM
ing home in train made up of one
passenger car and forty or fifty freight
ears.
As he did not wish to walk from the
station, he arranged that, on approach
ing his house, the train should be
"slowed up" and he would get out as
best he could
On arriving ut the spot, the speed of
the train was slackened to five or six
miles an hour. The gentleman opened
the car door and looked out. 1t was SO
dark that he not see the ground
He jumped, and pitched upon heap
of ballast stone. 1t yielded, and his foot
slipped. He fell toward the moving
train, and tumbled into hole eight
inches deep and almost under the rail-

As he began to feel safe, the thought
struck him, "What if there should be II
loose coupling swinging from carp"
He listened painfully for the jangling
of swaying chain. The cars moved so
slowly that it seemed rs if the train would
never be past.
Then an almost irresistible desire to
raise his head possessed him. He knew
if he did that it would be sliced in two

The desire became intense. II over

death. He started to raise his head and
saw red glare.

but, to his brain, car after car continued
to roll above him.
He raised his head, wondering how he
should feel when it was off, and tainted.
When he came to himself, he staggered
home and went to bed. 1t was long be-
fore he left that bed, for brain fever

mon pacling-case having been kicked

arrangement which kept the wretched

of the conspirators at the commencement
of Nicholas reign. On this occasion the
ropes broke when the signal was given,
and the criminals were precipitated into

Two of the men were found to have their

The New SOuth.

While politicians are making a good
deal of noise over the States-rights ques-
ton, the people of the South are quietly
making substantial industrial progress.
The crop of raw cotton has been mate
rally increased the past year. The cot
ton mills i'll operation have proved very
profitable. New mills are projected.
More of the best agricultural implements
and labor-saving machinery are used on
the plantations. More white people are
going into the fields. The signs of the
great industrial change now going on in
the South are plainly visible everywhere.
On the plantation, in the manufacture of
cotton goods, in the production of iron,
and i'll the rapid development of the rail
road interest the South is making great
progress. The people of the South are
beginning to learn that the true road to
power is not through the White House,
supported by a swarm of Federal Off
Gals. They are learning that solid
wealth is only attainable by working up
their cotton and wool into fabrics and
their ore into metals.-Wemphis Ira

which the Nihilists are confined imme

keep watch and ward over the unhappy

them. As for the tiny prisons, they are

but even this, poor luxury as it was,
must be considered an exception. The
visitor was allowed entrance to II few of
the cells. Their tenants were pale; they
rose rs he entered, according to order,
but regarded him with "A fixed look of
despair. The writer was shown the fa-
nous cell III which they incarcerated the
Princess Tarakanova, daughter of the En-
press Elizabeth, who fell victim TO her
rival, the Empress Catherine H., grand
mother of the present Gar. This I'M
happy woman persisted i'll the cell under
the most dramatic circumstances. The
Neva, swollen by the melted snow, sud
denly rose, and the rushing torrent,
dashing with overwhelming strength
against the tiny window, broke i'll and
filled the cell with water. The Princess
was drowned. The cells of the great
State criminals are lined with mattresses,
and rings of iron are placed III the walls,
to which many of them are bound when
they are not straight waistcoated. The
guide informed the writer, among other
things, that these unhappy men We're
asked every quarter of an hour II they
were present. Whenever they failed to
reply they were barbarously punished.
He also states that, i'll the wall of the
Emperor's room, is an invisible door,
communicating with II little passage,
very narrow, and leading to IL subterra-
mean gallery followed ont under the
Neva. The gallery leads to the fortress,

that the latter cannot incapacitate itself
