Mr.. HAYES Singing School.

We are glad to learn tina, this school
is so popular. Mr.. II. is one Of the in.
dus,rious young men who can teach a
day school and singing school,a still do
justice to both. There are probably some
towns where the inhabitants are SO far
behind the times as to object to a man
doing so much. We have known place.
where the school master might spend his
evenings at q dance, the card table, or
even worse, and was no. though, To be
disqualified for his daily duties and vet
the people would have objected to his
teaching an evening school. Bu, such
is no, the feeling in Ellsworth. Mr.. II.
has been here long enough to be known
as thorough teacher. and the fac. OF
his numbering about one hundred in his
singing school, commenced immed lately
upon the close Of one keep by a very
popular teacher, is an evidence tina, he
is appreciated.

as the latter did, between the two parties,
there was no end to the concessions, ithe

with proiuslon, which recalled the de.

Irish interest or the German interest, and
suppleness with which senators and gov.

set new lessons in the art Of fawning--
gave new formula for the preparation
OF adroit lies. Is it wonder, then, tina,
the Americans themselves, showed 50

when the same influence which introduc.

were not to blame for it, or, at least, for
nothing beyond little natural presump.

dastardly and unprincipled demagogues,
who wheeled them into excuses, are the

TACT. bot prefer giving our readers the
following from he Bangor Mercury, be.
cause it shows opinion of people GU. of

that abhors ,he very name Of Ellsworth

IS worth ten times as much As il it came
from friend. The Mercury says:
An idle story has been in circulation

have taken some pains to enquire into
the matter, and find that 10, only is there
no foundation for the rumor, but on the
contrary. tina. the Bank is iu as good
