In one case of PUERPERAL MANIA It was a powerful adjunct to the other means used to effect a cure.

"As a PREVENTIVE OF PUERPERAL CONVULSIONS and PUERPERAL MANIA I regard the BUFFALO LITHIA WATER as most valuable. It should with this view form the constant beverage of Pregnant women In the place of ordinary water. I have had considerable experience with this water lu the treatment of BRIGHT'S DISEASE. I have witnessed the ALBUMINURIA of this affection, and also CASTS of the RENAL VESSELS, disapper on the use of the water, and this not only lu a single case, but In reveral of which I have full notes.

Lewis, They Claim, Slept With Them on the Sight of the Butcher. Is Temperate and Disposed To Be Just in Its Verdict. Eeport Is That One His Been Convicted and Will Be Hanged. Memphis, Dec. 12.

A special to the Commercial-Appeal from Hazlehurst, says: In an open field, without house In sight, oa a high hillside, with a crowd of eager men waiting to avenge tbe terrible murder that has taken place In Lawrence county in case a conviction was reached by the Impromptu court, the scene lighted by daring- plneknot torches held aloft la the bands of the waiting mob. the three negroes, Giles Berry, Will Powell and Tom Wsllen, were standing trial for their life last night at Bankstone Ferry. According to reports received at this place from a messenger who arrived from the scene about 1 o'clock this afternoon, tbe quickly-constituted court did not arrive at a conclusion last night. Pokal, a little Inland town, about five miles from the scene, was called op by telephone this morning and answered: "I have no time to talk to you now. We are coins to try three negroes, and I want to seett." The negroes were arrested with Lewla, who was lynched Friday at the time of the original crime, but were releaaVl on their promising to appear next morning as witnesses.

They did not put In an ap pearance when the trial was ready to begin, and search was made for them by the mob. The search was quickly suc cessful and the negroes when caught were brought back. Then the suspicion oc curred that they were Implicated with Lewis in the original crime. Assuming that Lewis was guilty, suspicion naturally pointed to these three negroes. Accord ing to their own story they were with Lewis the night before.

The three men testified solidly that they slept in a cot ton honse about a mile and a half from the Smith house, where the horrible butchery took place, ami that Lewis was with them all night, at least he was there when they went to sleep and was there when they awoke the next morning-. There are about aoo men In the mob constituting a committee of tbe whole for the trial. Reliable reports received here this morning from a messenger who left tbe scene of the trial stale that the mob is very moderate in irs mleo, aud has cooled down considerably from Its former frenzy. The negroes, though badly scared, maintain their denial of any complicity In the crime with unswerving nruiness. A telephone ir.fsssge from Hon.

waiter Cafchings. of Georgetown, states that two more negroes have been arrested oa suspi cion. The very latest reports received here to-night from Georgetown state that the mob at 4 o'clock found Will Powell guilty snd started fur the scene of tbe killing to nang mm. l.VDER BA.t OF TIIE CIIIRCH.

Hon. J. V. Calhoun, tbe State Superin tendent, submitted the following report To the Honorable the President sad tlx Members of the Stats Board at Education: "Gentlemen I have the honor to report that since the removal of the quarantine restrictions and the resumption of work by the different lines of Industry of tbe State tbe public schools have opeued their doors and so far as heard from are being filled with their usual number of children. I have reason to believe that nearly all the parishes have begun the work of tbe new session.

I have as yet received offi cial notification from only thirty-two, and am awaiting reports from tbe others from day to day. It would be a great aid to us In our work If a rule were established and lnforced fixing the same time of the year for the opening of the rural schools. If not of the whole State then at least to all the schools belonging to sections of the same agricultural industry. It is ob vious that want of uniformity 1c this Im portant particular, puts us In contrast with well regulated systems of other Southern States, and speak against the welfare ef our schools. bile I feel that this is an evil that should be removed, 1 refrain from offering a rule upon the subject uulii I shall have consulted with parish superintendents at their next regular meeting.

In the cities aud towns the schools are zeuerallv opened in the be ginning of October, and have the benefit of au uninterrupted session of six. eight or nine mouths' duration, lleuce tneir work, like that of tue connected schools of ou large city, is sluiliiar in grading and good results, and is marked by atead; progress from year to year. I have met with few public schools better than those I I have visited in some of our interior towns. Tbe school law requires the par ish boards to meet regulurly on tbe Brat haturUay or January, April, juiy anu October, and the regulations of this board direct that tbe examination of applicants for certificates of qualification to teach shall be held at tue times oi laese quarterly meetings, aud at no otber time. to be used at these txamiiia- n.tiu ar art-oared in, tbe office of the State Superiuleudi-ut and furnished to the examiners iu parishes where they are needed.

Tills bas provea a wise reguia-tiini. and is gradually resulting in tbe iui- J.roveuient of the teachlug body through out tue There Is no reason for the employment of ooorlr oualitied teachers any where, because our two excellent normal schools, located respectively In atcb: toches and New Orleans, have always lists of graduates waiting for calls who l.nve tinrt the verv Desl proiessionai jrain- Ing attainable. Besides these sources of good Instruct, rs, Louisiana has always Thirteen of her representative In train ing that excellent institution, the Pea- l.nlv Normal Col at lenn. These ladies and gentlemen are bound by the conditions of their contract to devote themselves to the subseuuent work of tpuchtui la the nubile schools of our f-tnte. If In addition to the number of weil prepared teachers, honest quar terly examinntiiins will furnish, a supply of well qualified persons from other institutions, there must always be a corps of competent workers at hand and a cor responding decree of progress la the work of puolic education, because the good tnrher the itoon school.

1 consider that too much power and authority ar; delegated by many parish fL'is)l boards to the trustees in wards and school districts. An erroneous opln- ii'ti prevails that the appointment of teachers, the Bxlnj of salaries, the loca-ti'in of schoolhouses are matters that come within the power of tbe local tms-tefs. and much trouble arises from tbe neglect of certain boards to attend to these important matters themselves. The tru nees are only- auxilliary who consent to visit the pnbllc s'hools In their lii-i'lilxirliood to sec that the rules and rf filiations of the Pnrisli Board are observed, and that the attendance of the enforcement of proper discipline, the dutiful attention of teachers are se cured, aud to report to the Parish Board whatever mar occur to them as calcu lated to promote the effieieucy of their schools, tint all matters of appointment. examination of teachers and exienditnre of money unn local legislation must eina- Date from the Parish Boards who are the reMnsiUle bodies established directly by law.
