school districts, and parts of school districts, within it's limits ana for this purpose every such town snail constitute one school districts" etc.
 The intention of the legislators to give the towns the power to abolish all school districts is manifest. It would be unreasonable to impute to the legislature the intent to give to the towns the right to abolish districts formed by them, and to withhold the power to abolish those which had been formed by special acts, unless such intention was very clearly expressed. :. where an earlier statute is special, only in the sense that it applies to 6 single case of which there may be many in the state, and later one is general in it's operation and applies to all such cases, then the earlier one is repealed by the later, because the whole includes the several parts

 Chapter 146 of the public acts of 1909 provides that every town in this state shall, from and after July 15 1909, assume and maintain the control of all the public schools within it's limits, and for this purpose every town shall be a school district etc. And Section II of the act contains this pro- viso This act shall not apply to any town which has a city or borough, ol district organized under special acts of the legislature within it's limits, un- less such town shall vote 60 abolish | school districts and assume control oi the public schools therein"
 It is clearly manifest from the Ian 1 guage of this statute that the legisla- l ture considered that it had already given towns the power to abolish dis tricts organized under special acts. Tht l town of Norwich has a city and on, or more districts organized under spe | cial acts of the legislature within it l limits, so said Chapter 146 of the pub | lie acts of 1909 did not apply till tn, town voted at it's last annual meeting to abolish school districts, and to as sume control of the public school | therein, and, by virtue of such actiol on the part of the town, the law wa made to apply.
 Therefore, I am Of the opinion tha the effect of the vote in question wa to abolish the Central school distric and all other districts within the linn it's of the town, and to require the tow to assume and maintain the contro of all of the public schools within it | limits.

SPANISH SPINDLE AGAIN.
Imprisoned Banker of the Old World Offers Norwich Man a Chance to Divide $1S0.000.

That old but ever-recurring swindle known as the Spanish prisoner has come up again in Norwich, offering the chance for some kind hearted and wealthy man to divide up a pot or money if he will only make small advance to help an imprisoned gentle man of Spain out of jail.
 One of these attempted swindles' varied a little from previous letters, came to a Norwich man this week and was turned over to Captain Linton at police headquarters.
 The following is the letter.

THE CALL.

Turn ye again, my people, turn
Enter my palace wild and rude,
And cheerly let your camp fires burn
Throughout my scented solitude.
The glare, the tumult, and the stress
Are gone with yesterday, and we
Are children of the wilderness,
OF wonder and of mystery.
Mark how the tilted mountains lie
Mantled with moss and clustered fir
My brother, canst thou pass them by
Art thou not too worshipper?
The long lake wrinkling in the wind,
The breathless wood, and, over ali,
Through tangled underbrush entwined
The riot of a waterfall.
The multitudinous sounds that blend
In one vast stiffness of void of sound
A slumber too divine to end,
Interminable and profound
Close to the bosom undefiled
OF her who bore mankind l press,
Receiving like wandering child,
Her inarticulate caress.
Turn ye again, my people, turn.
Enter my palace wild and rude,
And CHEEKY let your camp-fires burn
Throughout my scented solitude.
