Six school children, two girls and four
boys, between the ages of 8 and II
years, wandered into the woods near
Meadville, Pa, in search of sugar water.
Among them were George Custy, aged
10, and Annie McGlue, aged 0. There
are many sugar camps in the woods,
but the children did not find any in op,
Grafton, and, at Custy's suggestion, the
boys, with their pocket knives, tapped
what they supposed to be a sugar ma
pie. The sap flowed freely, and the
children all drank of it. When night
came on and the children did not re-.
turn search was made, and they were
found deathly sick. That same night
George Custy died, and next day An
ME McGlue and two others were not
expected to live, The nature Of the

A large audience assembled at the
Crystal Palace at Sydenham few DAYS
ago to hear Mr. Oscar Wildes lecture
IN his impressions of America. Mr..
Wilde (who has discarded knee breeches
and resumed the prosaic trousers) said
that the Americans are the noisest peo
pie in the world, whose national occu-
patton is catching trains. Pennsylvania,
with its rocky gorges and woodland
scenery, reminded HIM of Switzerland;
the prairie of piece of brown blotting
paper Everything is twice as large as
1t should be; everywhere is twice as
far as it should be. He visited Lead
vile, the chief characteristic of whose
inhabitants is the constant use of the
revolver. He lectured to them upon
'Benvenuto Cellni, his Life and
Works. and was reproved by his hear
ers for not having brought that artist
with him. The explanation that he had
been dead for some little time elected
the inquiry. "Who shot him?' Among
the more elderly inhabitants of the
South he found melancholy tendency
to date every event of importance by
the late war. "Iiow beautiful the moon
is tonight !" he once remarked to
gentleman who was standing next to
him. "Yes," was the reply, shut you
should have seen it before the war;" So
lntinites'maI did he find the knowledge
and appreciation Of art west of the Rocky
Mountains, that an art patron-one
who in his day had been a miper-act-
ually sued the railroad company for
damages because the plaster cast of
Venus of Milo, which he had imported
from Paris, had been delivered minus
the arms! And, what was more su"pri,
ing still, he gained his case and the
damages,

Persons in the service of the United
States, or of the State, cannot be de-

DErACING LISTS OF VOTERS.
Any person who shall alter. deface
or destroy, or tear any list of voters,
or who shall, on election day, interfere
with anylof the officers of election, or
with any qualified voters, shall be sub
ject to fine and Imprisonment.
When there are more names on a
ticket for a particular office than there
are persons to be elected to that office,
such votes must be altogether rejected
For example, if four persons are voted
for upon one ticket for School Direc-
tors when but three are to be elected
such ticket cannot be counted at all in
computing the vote for School Direc-
tors, nor where four persons are voted
for under the general heading of
"SchoolDirectors,' where three are for
full terms and one to fill vacancy.

An election officer is liable in dam

Residence is question of intention,
but to constitute a change of residence
some act must be done in pursuance of

The holding of elections at tie place
fixed by law is mandatory, and cannot
properly be omitted.
= In case of the destruction of desig-
mated building on the eve of an cleo
tion, the election might be held on the

of necessity; but in all cases the me-
cessity must be absolute, discarding all
mere ideas of convenience.
