Hitch in the New school Law.

Vermont's new school law is provoking
much discussion and is productive of all
sorts of muddles. In the hurry of final pas
sage provision for schools between the time
of the old school meeting, the last Tuesday
in March, and the time Of the new meeting,
the last Tuesday in June, was omitted. A
special meeting to provide for schools be
tween those dates must be called, or no legal
session of school can be ordered. Unless
such meeting be called the districts cannot
be compelled to pay taxes for the support
of such schools.

WAS HE BEATEN TO DEATH
The Singular Fatality Of a New
ark Boy.

A most peculiar death occurred last
night at seven O'Clock. The victim was
Henry Marsh, a lad of eight years. He
lived with his parents at No. 407 South
Tenth street. Newark. His father is
Peter Marsh, who keeps a small cigar
factory and store at his home. The fam
lily is very poor, and the cigar storge IS
! the only source of maintenance they pos
fsess.
The circumstances which led to the
boys death were got from him between
his wild rawlings before his death ana
from the boys mother.
On Friday Henry was walking past
Marsh's stables on Tenth street, when q
, stableman called to him. He went In
and the man asked him to keep watcn
over the horses, as he was going away Ior
a little while. Henry consented.
He was standing in the stable near the
stall, and a boy named George saxon;
aged nine years. entered. Saxon picked
up a whip and assumed complete control
of the place, amusing himself by whipping
the horses, causing them to prance =
jump. Young Marsh, who did not IKE 20
see the animals abused, asked Saxon 20
desist, as he feared the horses would get
frightened and break loose. Instead OF
3aying down the whip, Saxon seized 1t by
bhe butt end, and, advancing TOWARDS
Marsh, struck him several blows on tne
side aud also on the head. Then he ran
away.
= Marsh went home, and in the house
complained of feeling sick. He was put
to bed, and as he grew worse medical as
( sistaDce was sent for, and DrS,
and Z. p. Edwards responded. The boy
grew rapidly worse. and last night at
seven O'Clock he expired.
