OUR NORHAIi SCHOOL.
No tsftcheri can alTard to forego Nornnl
School tralulug. In the school of thU Nor
mal District, practical touching Is before the
Siniorj, not merely forty-live minutes per
day for twenty one weeks as required by
law, but an average of three and a half
hours per day Is given throughout tho year
to special professional recitation and work.
Tho teaching In the Model School Is un
dertho dally observation of classmates, of
the teacher of tho Model Schoil, and of
the Professor of Methods. The results of this
observation are obtained In meetings for
ciltlcUm twlco each week.
As methods of teaching have changed
greatly in (he last few year?, partlclnrly In
Keailing, Grammar, Geography and Draw
Ing, and as competent critics are ordinarily
very liaid to lind, and more difficult still to
draw Into thu school room, the rare oppor
tunities aftirdcd by the State at so reasona
ble rates put every one aspiring to teach un
der obligition to Improve them.
The prctent 'Senior claw is one of th
largest ever in attendance. '
llnlline of the resident's Message.
Ihol'resnUnt message, transmitted to
Congress on the 2.id inst. Is temperate In
tone, though expressing convictions which
miy not piss unnoticed by tho Democrats,
It will fill about firo ordinary newspaper
columns, u is remarkable lor tho verv few
recommendations it makes, carrying out th
President's theory that the country does not
need more legislation so much as it needs th
enforcement of the laws it already has. Th
President gives early and prominent .place
to tho pestilence which has swept over th
boulh. J He advises Congress of what has
been done, through the War Department for
the relief of the sullerersj he thinks It would
be well If CoDgress wouid give the War Da
partmen'Jmlhoritylto act in such emergencies
Instead ot having the acts performed firsi
and the authority given afterwards. lie ad
' vancea the idea that yellow fever would be
unknown In this country If a policy ofnon
Intercourse with tropical ports were adopted
He refers to the suggestion for the creation
oi a commissipu to inquire what means
should be employed to protect this country
from the attacks of yellow fever. The Presi
dent looks favorably on the proposition to
establish anatioual quarantine law, though
be makes no reccommendation in definite
terms.
BOUTHERH rOMCY.
The point of main interest is the Southern
policy, and this the President has treated as
though ho conceded to the country the right
to t now what the Executive s opinions are on
topics of general concern. He goes into the
subject at some length, and with here and
there pathetic touch which will be likely to
provoke more than ordinary criticism. For
all that there is a mildness of thetone.whirh
will go far to reassure the country and
dissipate, to a great extent, the revived
bloody shirt dream. The President asks no
help from Congress in his efforts to preserve
peace beyond an appropriation to defray the
necessary expwsea of running the federal
machinery. He wants money for the pro
Mentions which he has ordered in Louisiana
especially, and he shows that the administra
tion is powerless to accomplish anything in
this direction unless Congress shall give its
active concurrence.
NOT 60 BAD AFTER A IX.
The President believes that on the whole
the condition of the South is not worse than
it has been in former years, but tbatit is bet
ter. Peace has prevailed except in a few
localities; and the result of the late election
has not been affected, except in about half a
doren Congressional districts, by anything
that occured either just before or during the
election day. The recent events in South
Carolina and Louisiana, as the President
has learned them from other official sources,
are calmly set forth, and the firm deter
mination of the Etecutive to euforce the
laws of the Urited States in those' States Is
announced. The President believes that
that the power to take cognizauce of such
frauds and Interference with the exerciie of
political rights by all citizens is conferred
upon tho general Government by tho provis
ions of theoriginal cintltution, and not by
the recent amendments, and that, that pow
er extends not only far enough to protect
the citizen in the act of votlmr for members
of Congress, but also to guarantee him free
dom In the exercise of all political rights,
such as assembling In public and having the
vote that he casts honestly counted and re
turned,
Tim FISH POLICY.
Great llritain's mackerel catch of $T,500,.
000 Is reported,togetherwlthcurreipoudenee,
which let the United States down gently, and
permitted a prpud people to pay its debts.
This portion of tho message the President
handles as though he were sitting over a
powder magazine, meantime waiting for an
explosion. Probably not even the Southern
question will ba the came of so much acri
mony and indignation as this part of the mes
sage. In the SenateaniHn the House there
are piles of bricks waiting to be rhrown at
the administration's fish policy.
TUB MEXICAN BORDER
is a thing which tht president feels that be
can talk about with confidence. He, there
fore, is moved to congratulate tho country
on tho condition ofaflklrs and states that it
is better than it has been for years. He be
lieves Diaz is doing better tomaiutaln order,
with an Increasing ability as Mexico be
comes better settled and prosperous. There
have been no recent complaints of border
outrages, he says, and this consideration
will give encouragement to both Govern
stents.
THE MONEY QUESTION
is discussed, not very fully, but with great
calmness. The President talks about re
sumption as a thing fixed beyoud specula
tlon. tie has, therefore, no legislation to
ask touching resumption. On and after re
sumption day gold, sliver and legal tender
notes are to be treated, by the Government
at equal, and the creditors of the United Sta-
tee may take which ever they prefer, He
thinks that no further silver legislation is
needed, and lulluiates that he Is ready as ev
er to Interpose his veto. The remainder of
the message deals with departmental re
ports.

INDICTMENT FOIt TAK1NQ FISH CONTItAIlY
TO LAW,
ClIAIUir. OF THE COURT.
Gentlemen of le Jury . On the thlid day
of Juno last, an Act of Assembly, Intended
to be an embodiment of all the fish and
game laws In force In the State, was enacted
by the Legislature It wisely provides for
tho preservation of food fishes from the in.
discriminate depopulation of tho waters of
the Commonwealth Inthe manner heretofore
practiced. Hence If any person is found
violating its provisions, there should be no
hesitation In pronouncing a verdict of guilty,
nor in Imposing the penalty of the law up
on the ollenucr.
In construing a statute, a comprehensive
view must be taken of all its provisions. I
the light of this rule we find no Inconsistency
between the twenty-second and the twenty
fourth sections of tho Act in question. By
the twenty-second section it is declared to
bo unlawful to placo any fuh basket, gill
net, pond net, eel weir, kiddle, brush or
facine net, or any other permanent means of
taking fish, In any of the waters of thl
Commonwealth. 'Uliis isa plain prohibition
of all the devices mentioned, and all others
of a like permanent character. Being a pc-
nal statute it is to be 3trictly construed, and
is not to be extended to prevent tho taking
of fish by other means mentioned in other
parts of the act.
Thus construed the twenty-second, is not
inconsistent with the twenty-fourth section
which provides, that it shall bo lawful to
fuh with fjkeor hoop nett In any streams o
this Commonwealth uninhabited by broo!
trout, during tin months of March, April
.nay, beptember, October aud November
J'roruled the meshes of the nets shall not be
less than one inch in size, and shall not be
placed at the confluence of any wing walls
This section further provides that any one
taking by a boop net any salmon, bas-, trout,
pitco orpickerel or any other kind of fish in
troduced into the waters by authority of tli
Commonwealth shall return the same alive
to the waters whence taken.
It is not lawful to catch any kind of fish
in any stream by means of drawing
seine.
In fact, b-yond the privilege of fishin g
with hoop nets the law seems to forbid the
taking of the kind of fish enumerated by
any other means than by hook and Hoe.
At Its last session the Legislature appro
printed out of the public treasury the sum of
ten thousand dollars for the propagation and
protection of food fishes. Commissioners
are appointed by law whose business it is
to supervise this matter, with power to ap
point sub Commissioners (of whom the pros
editor hero is one.) to see to it that the law
in question is not violated lu their locality.
The Commonwealth has stocked her rivers
with fuh for the benefit of all ber citizen
No individual must be allowed, unlawfully
to appropriate-them to himself.
This is the first case under the law which
has come up for trial in this court, and it is
perhaps well that it Is here, in order that
the public may know and understand the
law on the subject. But as the evidence
against the defendant is, that ho fished with
a hoopjnetln the Susquehanna riverfaBtream
not inhabited by brook trout,) and did not
catch any fish which th law requires shall
be returned to the water, he was guilty of
no violation of the law, and should be ac
quitted, liy a provision of the law. in
regard to the eosts, the jury have uo power
over that subject.

are, and the, fact is generally noted in the

for when tho class of people prone to indulge
in them become onco assured that unless they

The Law of Trespass.
The law of trespassini upon the lands by
gunners and hunt'M, is good enough if
'urmers will unite as wo have before miKECs-
tod, to have it enforced. Trespassers are lia
bio for all damages done, and costs, for which,
if not psid,they can bo imprisoned. Firing off
gun within forty rods of a highway subieota
the offender to a fine of forty f hillings, under
very old law which has never becnrecealeil.
Farmers havo the exclusive right to tho en
joyment of their promises and the game that
there may fo upon it from time to time,
There is no greater nuisance than to hnvn
one's premises overrun with a banditti with
cuns aud dogs, who regard no one's rights.
Tho best way to meet emergencies is to give
notice, in tho papers that uo gunnlnftjs al
lowed, whether the law requires thatlo be
done or not ; and then club to enforce the

an F.xrnnssioN from a justice of the
SUPREME COURT HAM) TO RESPECT
SUCH AN INSTITUTION HISTORI
CAL MENTION.
Justice Miller, of tho Supreme Conrt(
lately gavo his opinion on the jury system
before the Statu bar association, as follows :
"It requires all the veneration which ago in
spires fqr this mode (trial by jury) of dis
pensing justice, and all that eminent men
have said of .its value in practice, to pro
vent our natural reason from revolting
against the system, and especially some of
Its incidents. If n cultivated Oriental were
told for tho first time that a nation, which
claims to bo In advance of all.othess in.ifs
love of justice and its methods of enforcing
it, required as one of Its fundamental princi
ples ofjurisprudence that every controversy
between individuals, and every charge of
crime against an offender, should he sub
mitted to twelve men without learning In
tho law, often without any other learning,
'and that neither party to tho contest could
prevail until all tho twelve men were of one
opinion in his fnvor, he would certainly be
nmazed at tho proposition, Nor have the
European notions differed much with him
In their estimate of trial by jury. It has
been well understood and received the care
ful consideration of continenlel jurists for a
great many years without being ailopled by
any of them, In (he form that wo have it
from England, Many attempts havo been
made to introduce It In some modified shape,
but I think it safe to say that it has not In
its essontlal Anglo Saxo'i feature met the
approval of any people except thosa of that
race. In the days when kings exercised
arbitrary power, the jury was among the
stuidy,Hberty.loving Englishmen,a valuible
barrier against oppression by the crown.
But in this country, where tho people are
sovereign, the jury is but too often the mere
reflection of popular impulse, nnd the safety
of nn innocentman is more frequently found
to depend on the firmness of the judge thin
tho impartiality of the jury. Still, it is prob
ably wise that no man shall be convicttd of
an infamous crime until twelve fair-minded
men are convinced of his guilt. I am also
forced to ndmit, however, that even in civil
cases my experience as a judge has been
much more favorable to jury trials than it
was as a practitioner. And I am bound to
say that an intelligent and unprejudiced
jury, when such can be obtaiued, who are
instructed in the law with such clearness,
precision and brevity as will present 'heir
duty in bold relief, are rarely mistaken in
regard to facts which they are called upon
to find."

Washington, D: a, Dec. 10, 1878.
Debate on Blaine's resolution-authorizing'
iuquiry Into alleged intimidation of voters
will commence on Wednesday next with a
speech by that Senator, It is said that Thur
man and Gordon will speak on the subject,
but that there will be no opposition to the
resolution if it is nmended bo as to to make
it general In its application. Unnecessary
debate on this subject will have the effect to
retard the necessary public business and to
disquief the' public mind, and patriotic men
ot both parties are anxious to avoid this at
present. For some thirteen days, before the
hnli.lay roAeoo, Ooagreoa will bo in ftt-sslou,
and in that time, by a judicious course, it
may greatly strengthen the country financi
ally at a period when all its strength is need
ed, or by an opposite course may produce di
rectly the contrary effect. "Let us have
peace ' for the next few days.
Interior Department officials have been
for the last few days giving testimony and
opinions against a transfer ol the Indian
Bureau to the War Department. They claim
tbat the change would be injurious to the
Indians and expensive to the Government.
The Army Officers who have testified think
the change would benefit the Indians and
save money to the Government. The Com
mission will report at an early day.
Veterans ot the Mexican War will Boon
hold their annual meeting, and renew their
request tu Congress for those pensions which
the country has never failed to grant her
military and naval defenders in their old
age. In the Senate the eloquent Mr. Voor
hees has their case in band.
General Burnside says his Commissirn on
the Iteorganization of the army Is ready to
report. There are contrary statements as to
what the Commission will recommend, but
It seems certain a reduction in the force, and
especially in the numberof officers has been
agreed upon.
There is said to be a prospect that Pitkin
will be made Marshal of Louisiana in place
of Colonel Jack Wharton, and that Pack
ard, late "Governor" of that State, will be
made Collector of the port of New Or
leans. This would be in the line of reform as
understood by Ben. Butler, Zack Chandler,
and the rest. If we may judge by the )at
message of Mr. Hayeajte has now no Inter
est in reform of any kind, as he does not
mention it, aud may be tbat the sturdy lie-
publican reformers mentioned, with secre
tary Sherman, are to take charce of the
Bouthem appointments of the AdminUtra
tlon. They could do no worse than Mr.
Hayes did while the reform enthusiasm
passed him,

The Change iu Grant's Plans.
Oen, Grant, It Is now announsed, has con
cluded to go to Asia, and to remain abroad
for the present.
This Is as was to be expected. When it
was given out that he was about to come
home, and that a succession of entertain
ments had been prepared to be given him
afier his arrival, there were marked Indica
tions of popular dissent.
The construction put by the managers up
on these signs of disapprobation was that
they referred merely to the time of Gen.
Grant's return, and they drew the conclu
sion that it would be more prudent fur him
to postpone his coming.
Herein they err. There Is no unfriendli
ness to.OenGrant, and no one objects to
iiia iciMiu, ii uab uiueivuueuofs- ii mace
to anybody whether be be in Asia or Ameri
cawhether be be tanning leather or haul
ing wood ?
The hostility rests upon something more
substantial. It is to having all the usages
and traditions which have controlled the
elections of President set aside.
This objection will remain permanently,
and will apply to Gen, Grant at a candidate
at all times. Whether ha come home now
or go to Asia first will not mske the slight
est difference. JV: Y. Sun.

A VIFF. OETS A DIVORCE THAT SHE MAY
OAIN AN INHERITANCE', AND THEN
REMARRIES 11 Ell HUSBAND,
Tho following remarkable story Is tele
graphed from Norwich, Conn,
An affair has just come to light In that
city which has created quite a sensation, In
asmuch as the parties have moved In tho
highest circle. pf society and nflluence.' Tho
persons Involved aro Edward F, Chase, son
of Samuel Chase, of New Bedford, formerly
a sea captain, and Miss Mnry A. Maples, a
daughter of tho late James Maples, one ol
the wealthiest farmers lu tho state.
Edward first became known in this city
nbout bIx years ago, lie opened n sine store
an one of tho principal streets and lived In
fluo style, possibly beyond his means, for he
failed shortlyafter and has been unemployed
since. During his mercantile business among
his lady customers he made the acquaint
ance of Mary, with whom he soon became
more nnd more Intimate, until finally that
Intimacy grew into an infatuation and she
appeared no longer to control her own no
tions. Her father protested against Chase's
visits and went so far as to turn him out ol
tho house several times. It Is known In ad
dition to this that Mary's brother had ac
tually threatened to shoot Chase If he per
sisted in visiting his sister" so great was the
family dislike for him, In consequonco ol
this, Mary being of an unyielding dlsposl
tlon, their meetings were clandestinely held
Time passed on and thoy were married on
February 19, 1874. The father, nirsrieveil
and despondent at tho actioa of hisdaugl;
ter and the loss of his wife a short timo be
fore, finally died. At tho funor.il several po
licemen were stationed at the gates and nve
nues leading thereto to keep Chase from en
tering.
In tho will which bsqucathol tho largo es
tato to tho heirs, was a provision tlut fur
bade Mary entering into possessiou of or coil
trolling m any way her shara whilo sho iivi
with Chase, and also stating tint Chase ehoul
never babmsfittol tlureby. Everything lu
been ddiio to thwart tho tither s purpo-i
in this regard by tin Chasj', but without sue
cess. Elward an 1 M.iry, n t having any con
trol of tho leg.iey, wero slowly but surely b
ing brought down to poverty. People rcfus
him credit, and oven the roof over their head
was sold.
Such was tho history and ondition of t'e
Chafes when a petition was sent into tho Ni
ember term of tho superior court" by M
Chase praying for divorce from her husbai.d
Edward on grounds of 'intolerable, cmelty
No one probably in this section ever antici
pated buch a thing, knowing they lived in poi
feet harmony and fclictiy
The divorco was granted and Mary MapK
then presented her claim for the property, as.
serting that sho was no longer the wife ol
Chase, .which was corroborated by her pro
senting her divorco papers to thotrustccs.wh
immediately gavo her control of tho property
which consists of houses, bank stock and bond
worth thousands of dollars, into her hands.
Ldwaid and Mary met as lovers and at tin
cndtif two days tho sequel shows, they were
once more united in tho bonds of holy matri
mony. The.woddiug tour No. 2 was not cx
tended as tho first, and tho ceremony through
out conducted on a strictly private scalo, with
out ostentation.
Some years ago a button found on the
scene of a murder led to the detection of a
murderer and a pin has been of similar ser
vice lately in Paris. A laundress, having
received a handsome legacy, was foolish
enough to mention to an acquaintance In the
same house where she had placed the money,
A few days later the other announced thai
she, too, had quite unexpectedly come into
some money, and Invited the laundress to
breakfast. The latter came, and the enter
tainment pawdoff charmingly, but, strange
to say, she got dreadfully Bleepy after it.and
onlyjreally woke up when her hostess
had made an extra strong cup of coffee. Upon
returning to her room she discovered thai
she had been robbed. The police came aud
searched ber bureau, when there tumbled
out of the linen a pin which she immediately
recognized as one that she had seen in her
bostesa'scAu on thedayofthe breakfast.
A search in the latter's room revealed the
thief, who had drugged the laundress at
breakfast, slipped out of the room with her
keys, robbed her, aud put the keys back in
