John sherman's Stage Ride.

Senator Sherman enjoyed a break-neck
ride down Siskiyous mountain on his stage
journey between Redding and Roseberg,
Oregon. The Ohio statesman had pre-
empted a seat with the driver to get bet
ter view of the splendid scenery on that
elevated divide. The pace from the sum-
NIT was tearing one, and the steep, mar
row grade made the ride appear particu-
larly hazardous. The Senator suggested
that he could view things better at IL slower
gait.

The law doing away with the district
school system and replacing it by the
town system, just adopted by our neigh
Dor State of New Hampshire, seems to us
an excellent measure, 1t provides, in the
first place, for the abolition of the divi-
sion of towns into school districts, and
constitutes each town single district, for
school purposes. 1t requires each town to
take possession of the schoolhouses, lands
apparatus, etc, the property to be ap-
praised by the assessors and tax levied
upon the whole town equal to the amount
of the whole appraisal, and RENTS to the
taxpayers of each district the appraised
value of its property so taken. The law
further directs that the duties heretofore
devolving upon superintendent and pru-
Dental committees shall hereafter be per-
formed by school board of three per-
sons in each town, to be chosen by ballot
at the annual school meeting, and to hold
office for three years. This board shall
provide schools within the limits of the
town, at such places and times as, in their
judgment, shall best subserve the inter
estS of education, and as shall give all the
scholars of the town as nearly equal ad-
school board may use portion of the
money not exceeding 25 per cent for con-
yeying scholars to and from such schools
The law furthermore provides that any
town after five years may, by majority
vote of all its voters, establish the dis
trict system and thereafter be subject to
the same laws as are now in force in rela-
ton to school districts and in the mean
time the present records of the districts
shall be preserved, to be returned should
the towns vote to go back to the district
system. The law goes into effect March
/, 1856.
We do not see why this is not well-de
vised law, sufficiently guarded and likely
to justify itself in practice and we are
only sorry that Vermont has permitted
New Hampshire to take the start of hel
in this matter

A wholesale Poisoning.

URBANA, ILL.,, Sept. 8.-There is much
excitement at St. Joseph, this county, over
three mysterious deaths which occurred
within a short time In one family. Mr..
and Mrs. Hiram Peabody were prominent
residents. Miss Belle Hasty, a young
woman Of fine character and pleasant man
ners, lived with the Peabody family, and
was said to be engaged to young Silas Pea
body. Young Peabody's parents, particu-
larly his mother, we're opposed to this
marriage, owing TO Miss Hssty's poor
health. On August 2 Mrs. Peabody died
very suddenly of what appeared to be neu-
ralgia of the stomach. On August II Mr..
Peabody died with the same symptoms.
On September / Miss Hasty and young
Silas Peabody were taken with the same
symptoms, and the young lady died, while
Peabody has recovered, Since that time
suspicion has been awakened by the al
legged discovery Of q package Of rat poison
pinned to the under garment which Miss
Hssty had laid off just before her death;
that the latter had poisoned Mr. and Mrs.
Peabody with the hopes Of marrying the
son, and then concluded to kill him and
herself. On Sunday the clergyman re-
fused to preach her funeral sermon until
the matter was cleared up. An investiga-
tion will be made.

1T is said that the white brick now
made In France from the immense
accumulations of waste sand at glass
factories, is likely to prove a valuable
industry. The process of production
consists IN subjecting the sand to an
immense hydraulic pressure, and then
baking ia furnaces at a high tempera>
ture, so as to produce blocks of vari-
Gus forms and dimensions of uniform
white color, and of almost pure slick.
The product is unaffected by the heav-
lest frosts, or by the sun or rain.
