The Law of Public Sales.
As there arc n great many sales of personal
property throughout the country nt every
season of the year, sse cull the attention ol
auctioneers and vendors to a few facts which
are furnished by a eotemporary. In a sale
liy auction tlicro aro three parties, namely,
the owner ol tlio property to be sold, tho
auctioneer, and a portion of the pub
lic. Tho articles must be sold with
out reserse, and unless tho vender
reserves ono open bid ho cannot
bid himself or have tho auctioneer or any
one else to bid for him. There nro cases on
record svhero a bid svas not reserved, am the
vender had a bidder svho bought in, nnd af
terwards suit was brought against tho slen
der by tho highest outside bidder for tho
article, nnd it svas decided that lie, tho plain-
till, was the highest bidder and entitled to
the article against tho vender. So, also, if
an article is struck oil' to a person, and if
afterwards ascertained that the vender or
auctioneer practiced fraud, by holding him
self, or nod pullers, it was held both by the
Courts of I.nglatid and so repeatedly decid
ed by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
that tho purchaser could not bo held, but
the purchaser, as be discovers the fraud,
practiced on him, must return or tender the
article to the vender.
Iiuying School Hooks.
Many boards of school directors furnWi
books to pupils svho are too poor to provide
them, but it appears that there is no lasv
empowering them to use the public funds
for this purpose. To ascertain whether a
school board could provide books for indig
ent children, the directors of Saville town
ship, Perry county, as a foundation for a
case stated and submitted to the court, pur
chased and gave to an indigent pupil a book.
Judge Junkiu has rendered the following
decision :
Hoards of School Directors aro the crea
tion of statutory law, having no existence
outside of positive enactment. Noither
have they any powers beyond svhat the
statutes confer, or by neces.-ary implication
spring from tho duties imposed. The things
svhich they aro not empowered to do, they
must leave undone. They have no legislative
powers, are not, strictly speaking, a muni
cipal corporation. They are a special statu
tory tribunal, and it is a postulate long re
cognized that such bodies can exercise only

Cyclopedia of Literature.
A list of tho celebrated authors whose lives
and writings arc represented in S'olumo threo
of Ihe new Acme edition of Chambers') Cy
clopedia of Englhh Literature, just received,
is certainly very attractive to any person of
lino literary taste. Fox, Penn, Ilaxter, Hun-
yan, Locke, Newton, Iirosvn, Hale, Walton,
Drydcn, Temple, Kvclyc, l'cpys, llutlor, Ad-
isnn, Swift, I'opo, Kamsay, Cibber, Steele,
Berkeley, Defoe, and Bolingbroke, aro a few
of tho brilliant stars svhich brighten tho -11 0
pages. "It svill bring gladneos to many a
scholar's heart," says tlio Times, of Phila
delphia, "to find that this truly admirable
work lias beeu brought within the range
of (-hallow pockets." Kight such volumes,
beautifully printed, and elegantly bound in
cloth, for only $2,f0, or by tbo singlo volume
for -13 cents, post-paid, is certainly a marvel
of cheapness, and should establish an enviable
reputation for tho publishers, if it cannot
mako their fortune. Already they report a
sale of nearly sixty thousand volumes. It
ought to bo in every library and homo in the
land. Specimen papers and full particulars as
to -arious styles of binding, terms to clubs,
etc., svill bo sent fteo on request by the pub
ihers, tho Atnorican Hook Kxchango, 55
Heekman street, Nesv York. Tho svork is
sold only to bubscribers direct, and tho present
svondcrfully losv rates aro offered only to early
