> YEAR AND THE LAW.—The law is a
5 thing. No wonder Dundrearv, in one
I
nost. misanthropic stories, says that it
jf those things that no fellow can find
t dips its long finger into everything, j
; effect is somewhat different from that
follows the movement of the wrters in
>1 when they are stirred by an angel,
one case, healing follows; in the other,
icss and anything but a curative i
remains. The Albany Law ,/our
considered good authority for the!
ious utterances of the old dame, and j
lowing it has to sav as to the coming
id its added day, should he known by
jusiness man in the state:
law, it is said, takes no notice of parts
i, and as to the 29th of February, it
io notice of the whole day. The 28th
;h are eomputed as one day. For ex
suppose a note is dated on'the 28th of
iry, 1880, payable one day from date, j
xily it would be payable "on the 4th of !
March, and so it is in leap year, and not on
the 3d. In Indiana the question has recently
come before the supreme court, in respect to j
service of process in 187 G. the last leap year.
The law there requires ten days' previous
service for the entry of judgment. In the
i case before the court the judgment was pre
mature if the 2Ht.li and 29th of February were
jto be computed as one day. The court said:
4 It must be regarded as settled in this state 1
that the 28th and 29th days of February in
every bissextile year must be eomputed and
considered in law as one day.'
44 The question is set at rest by our statute, ,
i 1 R. S., m. p. 610: s. 3. which provides that
[ 4 the aililed day of a leap year and the day im
[ mediately proceeding, if they shall occur in j
any period so to be computed, shall be
reckoned together as one day.' This cmbra
! ees statutes, deeds, verbal or written con- j
tracts, and all public or private instrment.
Old Year, Rest.
Old year! Rest! thy work is done
Thou shalt see earth's sin and sorrow
Nevermore, beneath the sun:
Ere the dawning of the morrow,
Other hands shall ring the chime
Of the morning march of Time;
Old year! Rest! thy work is done.
Angel spirits, hasten home!
All thy sins have been forgiven;
Snow-flakes fail ling from the dome,
Are a pure, sweet sign from Heaven.
That the gates have opened there
To the touch of Faith and l'rayer;
Angel spirits hasten home!
Stricken mourners! wherefore weep?
Love is kin to love supernal;
Death is but a little sleep
'Tween two days, and one's eternal.
Earth shall bloom again, in token,
That no bud is lost or broken;
Life and hope shall take new wing.
With returning birds, in Spring.
Stricken mourners! wherefore weep?

IMPORTANT TO SCHOOL DIREC
TORS AND TAX PAYERS-Tbe fol
lowing decision of the Superintendent of
Public Instruction is of great importance to
tax-payers as well as directors, as violation

tricts of the State appropriation, and subject
Directors to severe penalties:

There is but one time in the year when di
rectors can adopt, a new scries of text books
for the schools under their charge, or change
old ones, and that is between the time of
electing teachers and the opening of the
schools. Section 23, Act of Mi.y 1,1854, says :
" That immediately after the annual election
of teachers in each school district of the state,
and be fere the opening of t lie schools for the
ensuing term, there shall be a meeting of the
directors or controllers and teachers of each
district; at which meeting the directors or
controllers shall decide upon a series of school
hooks, in the different branches to be taughi.
during the ensuing school year; which books,
and no other, shall be used in the schools of
the district during said period."
Such is the law. with this exception, that
hooks cannot now lie changed more frequent
ly than once in three years.
