WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16. . All over the country, where parents, are capable of comprehending the question there. Is" very general, indignation' on r aocount of the severe tasks which school children are compelled to accomplish. This feeling , of indignation is just, . and if were - more pronounced than it ''' we;' should "be disposed to approve it ' Considered from . either standpoint, education or discipline, neither justifies the health-destroying tasks to which school children are subjected. Modern educators . have gone wild in the methods devised for training children. The school room - is set aside as a place for recitations, while home is designated as the place lor study, and thus it happens that the children have no time at ail for physical recreation, no hours for the overtasked brain to zest.'. The latest development of the educational system is to make the school a sort of a show ' for-- mental acquirements obtained outside of the schoolroom, where the : cramming business .at long range ia carried forward. As a consequence, education becomes distasteful, mind and body lose their elasticity, the glow of health departs from the youthful cheek and th9 sparkle from the eye; and, instead of school rooms filled with youth .- in vigorous health, we find too often a mass of youthful humanity in various stages of decay. A Hoses should arise and lead the school children out of this worse than Egyptian bondage. As the case now stands, parents have to choose between grammar and a curved epine, algebra and an inflamed brain, and so on through all the studies of the schools, and all the ills to which youthful flesh is heir. Under such circumstances, something ought to be done to change the programme. Certainly six hours a day for study and recitation are enough. More than this is fraught with the most serious danger. ...

The clerks engaged in preparing the lists 2 of prize numbers in the Indiana Orphans' BeneOt Lottery completed their work -yes terday, and we are enabled to present a list of the lucky figures this morning. We can not vouch for its accuracy, but it is as accurate as any of them. In fact the whole mat 6 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 ter is in a state of doubt. It appears that thousands of unsold tickets were left in the hands of agents, unreported, and if any of these tickets have drawn prizes the management is at the mercy of agents who can return the prize tickets as eold and draw the prizes themselves. There was a general cry against the whole affair yesterday, and many persons openly denounced it as a swindle. In view of our understanding ot the affair, and the disastrous mistake with the agents spoken of above, we are inclined to think it is merely an exaggerated case of bad man-v agement . . 2 2 50 2 25 t t 2 2 ' 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 "' From the Courier. . " ' It is due here to state that the gentlemen chosen in this city for the purpose of overseeing the action ot the managers, that they 50 make the unqualified assertion tbat so far as the drawing was concerned everything was fairly done. The first step that they took when called upon to act as a supervising board was to see that all encumbrances, so far as the property in this city is concerned, should be lifted, that they would not take no part or parcel in the venture until that was an accomplished fact. 80 that now any one drawing a lot or lots in this city may rest assured tnat tney will receive it irea from any mortgage or other harrassing em barrassment. The certificate which they append to their action in the premises, and which can be seen at the omce 01 Jur. 11. u. Read, will be the best guarantee that the drawing was conducted fairly and honestly. 25 100 Corporal Keraan's Paper. . . . (Atlanta Constitution. ' The Okolona (Miss.)

Phair was hanged in the State prison to-day. Phair was ignorant of the last efforts of his friends to prevent his execution. He retired at 4 o'clock this morning, and slept well until 7 o'clock, when be arose. He seemed resigned to his fate.' Bis counsel asked Governor Proctor this morning for a reprieve, to allow a session ot the Legislature to inter, vene, but the governor denied the petition. At 2 o'clock Phair ascended the scaffold, when a short prayer was offered. The original warrant for the execution and three reprieves were read, and the noose and black cap adjusted. The sheriff said: "John P. Phair, the time has come for the sentence of the law to be executed upon you." Phair's last words were: "Lord, remember me. Lord, remember me." At 2:11 the trap was sprung, the body fell, and life was soon extinct. phair's crime. ' ' J'.hn P. Phair, an iron-worker in Rutland, Vt., was employed in the Lincoln Iron foundry on May 20, 1S74, and continued there until June 9. About the middle of May he was Introduced to Mrs. Ann E. Frieze, with whom he became very Intimate. On the morning of Jane 9 fire destroyed the house occupied by Mrs. Frieze. Her dead body was found in the ruins, bearing marks of wounds that in themselves, it was declared, would have been fatal. It was .ascertained that on June 10 a man signing himself on the register of the Adams House in Boston as "E. F. Smith, St. Albans, Vt.," had pawned a shawl, an opera-glass and a ring in Boston, whi;h articles were proved to be the property of Mrs. Frieze. Experts testified that the handwriting on the register and on the pawn tickets was that of Phair, and the pawnbroker identified him as the person offering the articles. He was consequently arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to be banged on April 6, 1S77, On March 27, 1877, the Dartmouth College Glee club went tj Windsor. Vt., in which village Phair was confined, for the purpose of giving a concert. The manager of the club was ifi. (J. Garrigaa, who then represented the Associated Press in that locality. He visited Phair in prison and ascertained that the condemned man bad written a statement in relation to his whereabouts at the time of the murder, asserting) before God and man, HIS ENTIRE IHNOCERCB OF THE CRIME of which he had been convicted. Carrigan obtained this statement, agweing tbat it should not be given to the public in any form until after Phair was hanged. If it was not published until after his death. Phair argued that it might be believed by some, and, as he said, "If I can die by it, they will surely think it of enough lmpoitance at least to read it." Phair afterward consented that the docu ment might be printed in Boston on the morning of the day on which he was to be hanged, as tbe newspapers containing it would not arrive in Rutland until 2 o'clock the time set for the ilrop, and in Vergennes not until 4 o'clock; and thrt it would arrive in Windsor at 1 o'clock, so that he would be able to see that his statement had been treated in accordance with his stipula tions. In his statement Phair set forth that oa June 6 he accompanied Ann Frieze to a cir cus, and afterward, going with her to her house, remained with her until 2 o'clock the next morning. This, he avers, was the last time he ever saw her. On Sunday, J une 7, he drove to West Rutland, and on Monday he went oy train to Brandon, expecting to meet a person there, remaining in the vil lage until the evening. He returned to Rutland on the midnight train, went to his room in the Berwick House, and slept until abeat 4 30 o'clock on Tuesday morning, June i). At about that time he took the train lor Boston, arriving there in the afternoon. At o clock he started lor Providence. and he deserv es in detail his lourney thither, where he stayed, and his nnsuccsssful efforts - to obtain work. On June 10 he returned to Has ton. and he tells particularly of an interview he bad with a stranger on the train, who said he was engaged in the manufacture of novel ties in Boston, and was hiring agents for their sale, and who offered him a situation. In the afternoon he took the train for Ver mont, and was arrested while on it for the murder of Ann Frieze. On the morning ot April 6, 1877, the Bos ton Globe published Phair's statement. It nued seven columns, upon the bulletin at the door was the announcement: "Vermont ia to hang a man to-day who claims that he is innocent" Mr. Marshall D. Downing, manager of the American Novelty works, at 50 School street, Boston, seldom read the Globe at that time, but on the morning named his omce boy saw the Globe's bulletin and spoke of it. He was sent lor a copy oi tne newspaper,ana Mr. Downing sat down to read tbe statement. When he came to the description of tbe ride Phair claimed to have taken between Provi dence and Boston on June 10, Mr. Downing recognized the description oi himselt ana the account ot the conversation, lie sprang up, caj lng: "Aly uoa, , they've got the wboxg maw; this man is innocent!" 1't. Downing cor. robo rated his recollection by his memorandum book, and satisfied himself that Phair bad ridden with him on the day named, and could not bave.been guilty of the crime of which he had been convicted. But it was 12 o'clock, and the condemned man was to be hanged in two hours. Mr. Downing tried to telegraph to the governor of Vermont in Montpelier, but the operator there had gone to dinner. Jvery office in tbe state was then asked as to the where a bouts ot the governor, and the sheriff at Windsor was informed by telegraph of tbe discovery ot new evidence In favor of his prisoner, and asked to communicate with tbe governor before hanging. It was 1 :15 o'clock before tbe governor was heard from at St. Johnsbnry. He immediately telegraphed to the sheriff postponing the execution until May 4. 1877. At 1 o'clock Phair, dressed in plain black clothes, was prepared for the scaffold. He was calm and collected, seemingly fully re signed to his fate. While he was waiting to be conducted from his cell the governor telegram arrived, and his respite was an nounced to him. 'God be praised!" he ex claimed, and tainted. The reprieve and the circumstances con nected with It attracted much attention in Vermont. Petitions both for and against the hanging of Phair were circulated and largely signed, and in accordance with the advice of a member of the supreme court and two ot Vermont's most eminent lawyers, the re prieve was extended lor two years, that there angnt be an investigation maae oy tne pres ent Legislature. Legislative action wm nec essary, because the highest court of the State bad passed upon Um case, and, according to
the law of Vermont, & governor had no authority eiUwr to order a new trial or commute the sentence. . 5 v -In the meantime every effort was made to
discover evidence to corroborate -Pfa&lr'i statement The affidavit of Marshall D. Downing was procured. It substantiated the story told by Phair as to their meeting 0n the train between Providence an Boston, on June 10; set forth the manner of deponent's discovery tbat the person lie met was to be banged, and that his testjtnony was unsolicited. Downing was corroborated by Colonel Charles B. Taylor, tbe manager, and Edwin C. Bacon, the editor, of the Boston Globe, and by M. C. Perry, Phair's lawyer. Alexander Stone, the keeper ot a lodging house in Providence, R. L, where Phair asserted, in his statement, be had slept on tbe night of June 9, testified to matters that agreed with what Phair had said, even to . ( THE FRESEHCE OT A BLACK DOG , ' ' with a leather collar that Phair had described. Thomas Hanley, tbe head waiter and clerk in a restaurant in Providence, R. L, testified to the same circumstances related by Phair in his statement, alluding to a torn 60 cent scrip that be disliked to take In payment for breakfast, but which he finally accepted, giving back 10 cents in change. Other persons made atttdavita to the presence oi Phair in places where he bad asserted that be was on June 8 and in the early hours of J une . These affidavits were submitted, as the law of Vermont directs, to two justices of tbe supreme court, and tney decided that they were sufficient to warrant the bearing belore a lull bench to determine whether or not there should be a new trial. The hearing was begun Monday, February 3, and the affidavits procured were presented. The court, through Chief Jnstice Pierre pont. rendered its decision en Wednesday. It set forth that, after tbe fact should be ascer tained who it was tbat pawned the property of Ann Frieze in Boston on June 10, it would be settled who committed tbe mur der. This fact was substantiated by more than one witness, all of whom positively identified Phair as that man. Phair could have departed from Rutland in the 4 o'clock train on the morning oi Junes, as he says that he did, and yet be guilty of the murder. There is nothing to show that he did not stop in Boston. His description of his visit to Providence is not corroborated by any one who has any recollection ot him at the time he claimed that he made the visit. One of the most conspicuous objects of the lo cality where he said be remained over night is a soldiers' monument. This was not there soon after the war, when Phair had a sister living there. His description of the locality, omitting the monument, shows that he was describing It as it was when he was there years before. Downing had not sworn that Phair was the man he saw on the cars; he was only able to give unsatisfactory recollections. The conclusion arrived at was that no evidence creating a reasonable doubt of the guilt of Phair had been found, and that a new trial could not be granted. A TROUBLESOME POV. The mother of Phair lives in-Vergennes, in a two-story frame house in Main street. She is about 60 years old, and has tbe appearance oi a woman neart-broken by gnei ana sor row. Her early troubles with her son and husband have been sad and trying. The stealing of a druggist s satchel, containing money, which he had just set down in his own home, was - Phair's first crime. This was followed by several attempts to kill leading citizens, for most of which he was arrested, but always escaped punishment, n one occasion he was arrested for sliding a plank from the top of a high building near the road, intending to hit the head oi a restaurant keeper as he was passing by in the evening. Two weeks later he was arrested for attempting to kill the ssme man.' He- secreted himself in the evening on a bridge across which his victim had to pass on his way home, and fired a pist 1 at him, the ball passing through his victim's hat, cutting the hair on his head. His victim ran, and he pursued htm for more than a quarter of a mile. On another occasion Phair was arrested for secreting himself in an old railroad bridge and attempting to kill a coal merchant; one of the leading citizens, while he was passing from his coal office through the bridge after dark on bis way home. A heavy stone was dropped from the top of the bridge, which struck on his head and shoulder, and fell through the bridge to tne ice below. Tbe stone, wnicn was pro duced in court, weighed 19 pounds. For this attempt Phair was bound over in $300 bonds, and at the next term of tbe county court his lucky star secured him his freedom. ... l The Nerve. . , Apple ton's Journal. Kerrousnr3 in tbe sense of feebleness, or lack of stability of the nervous system as distinguished from the rest of the body, is a word oi modern origin; neither the ancients nor the medisevals used this term in modern signification; it is pre-eminently an American term, since the state or tendency of tbe constitution suggested by it abounds in the Northern and Eastern parts of tbe United States more than in any other part of the world. The number of those in. the middle or higher classes of American society who, without being ever actually sick, never know what full, rejoicing health really is; who live constantly in a lower plane of being than is normal in man; who are weak all over, though not specially and constantly weak in . any one organ, ana who, tnougn they may never experience piercing and grinding pain, yet suffer at times, if not always, that profound exhaustion which in many respects is far worse than pain is very large, and ia or has been apparently increasing. . Advice to Young Ladles. In marrying make your own match; do not marry a man to get rid of him.; or to oblige him, or to save him. The man who would go to destruction without you will quite as likely go with you, and perhaps drag you along. ' Do not marry in haste lest yon repent at leisure. Do not marry for a home and a living. Do not let aunts, fathers or mothers sell you for money or position into bondage, tears and life-long misery, which you must endure. Place not yourself habitually in the hands of any suitor until you have decided the question of marriage; human wills are weak, and people often become bewildered and do not know their error until it is too lata. Get away from their influence, settle your head, and make up your mind alone. Do not trust your happiness in the keeping of one who has no heart, no head, no health. Shun the man who ever gets intoxicated. Do not rush thoughtlessly, hastily into wedded life, contrary to the counsel ot friends. Love can wait. The Training of Girls. I American Traveler. , ! Perhaps one of the most lamentable errors of the u re sent day ia the manner in which our girls are trained. While proud and hatDv Barents are desirous that their daughters be accomplished in music, draw ing, naintins and the languages, tbey seem totally to ignore the more necessary arts ot housekeeDine and home-making, or to imagine the knowledge ot such to be degrad: ing. We know of no more pitiable object than a young wife placed at the head of the husband's home, utterly ignorant of her duties as its mistress.
