School Examinations.

The examination of Public Schools was
continued yesterday by the examination of
the Primary Schools, of which there are four
teen in the city. So far as we could learn the
standard of these schools is above that of form
er years. Those we had an opportunity of
visiting appeared to good advantage. In the
opinion of members of the Board of Commit
past there was decided improvement in or
der and attanments. The great disadyanta-
&c is in not having suitable school rooms for
so large a number of small children.
Primary school No Is, near the Eastern
Cemetry, is kept in one story building, in the
rear OF the Engine house. This building has
been occupied as a school room nearly 20
years. One of the committee, somewhat ad-
yanced in lile said his first impressions of
school life were in that building. 1t is divi-
ded into three rooms, in one OF which there
were l0l scholars where the Accommodations
are barely sufficient for forty or fifty. Four
were seated in desk and Others were
scattered around on the floor. The commit
tee are doing what they can to remedy the
evil. Several plans have been proposed to
remedy the evil, the best OF which we trust
will be adopted. The teachers in this school
are Miss Anna Garyin, Principal, Miss Mary j.
Pennell and Miss Cole, Assistants. The at
tendance for the past term has been very ir-
regular for which the teachers are not respon-
sible.

accommodations are concerned, is in rather
worse condition than No. Is. The building
is surrounded by private residences, and the
school is disturbed by crying children, bark
ing dogs and other noises. In the lower room,
but little better than cellar, we found 100
children, saye-one, where there are not seats
enough for near that number. The three up
per rooms were not so badly crowded. The
committee are looking around for a better To-
cation, and the time is not far distant when
there will be good accommodations for the
primary schools in that district. The schools
were in much better condition than we ex-
pected to find them, judging from from the
very large number OF absences aud poor ac-
commodations. Miss Charlotte L. Putney is
Principal. Miss Sarah T, Moulton, Miss Fran
ces E. Bancroft, and Miss Smith, Assistants
There are sos scholars registered for the sew
eral departments of this school.
The Primary Schools in several other local
tiles are badly crowded, but none, so far as
We can learn, in SO bad condition as those we
have mentioned. That in No o is located on
the shady side of the building, where the suns
rays never reach IL, but in other respects is
quite convenient
The examination of the intermediate School
for boys, takes place to-day, which closes the
examination of the public schools. The ex-
animation of boys for admission to the Gram
mar Schools, takes place on Monday next, al
the Center Grammar School for boys on Cum
berland street, and the examination OF girls
on Tuesday, at the Center Grammar School
for girls, entrance from Congress street.

A Maine Man Shot in Kentucky.


Mr.. Judson Littleheld, of the firm of Il.
Morse & Co., wholesale shoe dealers of this
city, was shot near Danville, Kentucky, on
the 26th ult, by Union pickets, and died the
9th inst. The circumstances of his death
were these.
He was riding towards Danville in bug
81, the evening being very dark, when he
was challenged by the guard, which Gen.
Hobson had sent out simply for the protec-
ton of his command, while encamping fer
the night. Littleiield, net Distinguishing the
challenge above the noise of the carriage, and
not suspecting the presence OF troops, las he
knew there were none there a few hours pre-
vious,) hurried on, supposing the pickets to
be guerillas. He was Immediately fired upon
and wounded in the left breast. His horse
then lecame unmanageable and ran about a
half mile, when ae was shot dead. Little
field then leaped from the carriage and made
his way as best he could to house about a
mile distant, After much delay, through fear
of robbers, the family took him in and kindly
cared for him until he died, eleven days after
he was shot.
MFR. Liitleheld, formerly Of Chesterville, in
this State, has had charge of branch whole
sale shoe store located in Lebanon, KY, for
several years, where he had been doing a
large and successful business. This is The
second partner Mr.. Morse has lost in that
state. On hearing of the death of Mr.. Little
field, he Immediately went to Kentucky and
sold out the establishment, closing up at
once the business of X. Morse & Co. in that
state

Grand Canadian Excursion.

The Lower Provinces, some time ago, IN
yited the members OF Parliament in session in
Quebec, to make them a visit, but that invita-
ton was declined on account OF their long de
tention in Quebec. The refusal did not please
their Eastern friends, who have imbibed the not
ton that the Canadians are rather supercili-
Gus and somewhat inclined to "look down.
upon the Lower Provinces as of not much
consequence any way. After all the excur-
sion is to come OIL, aud invitations have been
issued to the members of both Houses TO meet
at Portland on the second day OF August next
when steamer win be ready to carry them to
their destination. We shall be glad to see
these Canadian law makers in the Forest City.
They may find it convenient to tarry here
day or so and visit the Ottawa House, aud the
Islands in our harbor. Canadians love the
smell of old ocean, and here they can ill their
lungs from the salt breezes. Come on gentle
men, and we will give you hearty welcome.
The object of this visit to the Lower Prov
inces is to make the acquaintance of gentle
men there, and TO talk over the matter of
Federalism of all British North America, a
subject that engrosses much attention at this
time. The prospect is now bright for such

Dry Dock Meeting.

meeting Of the stockholders of the Port
land Dry Dock Company was held yesterday
afternoon at the Boar1 of Trade Rooms-the
President, Mayor Mcclellan, presiding.
The President reported, that, in accordance
with vote passed at the last meeting, the
Directors had examined sites for dry dock
or a marine railway, and that they unani-
mously recommended the purchase of the
Thomas lot on the Cape Elizabeth side, east
ward of the Portland bridge. The lot con-
tains one acre of upland and forty acres of
flats 1t was considered by the Directors as
the best, most eligable and cheapest lot that
can be had. either for a dry dock or a railway,
or both. The price asked for it was $500,
and it would be sold by Mr.. Thomas, only for
the purpose of erecting dry dock or railway
thereon, one or the other TO be built within
five years.
After some remarks from different stock
holders, on motion of Joshua +. Weeks,
Esq, it was unanimously voted that the Di
rectors be instructed to purchase the lot.
From the soundings that have been made
by the Civil Engineer, it would appear that
the above mentioned lot, as it regards the sub
strata, DC, is the most desirable one for the
purpose that has been offered. The flats at
low tide are entirely bare.

Water Meeting.

meeting was held at the City Hall last
evening, called by landlords of hotels and
proprietors of livery stables, to adopt meas
ures to supply the city with pure water. The
attendance was very small, not over sixty per-
sons being present. But two of those that
signed the call, Mcssrs. Adams and Rollins,
were present. John Neal, Esq, was appoint
ed chairman and Charles p. Ilsley, secretary.
A long series of preambles aud resolutions
were offered by Mr.. Thomas Nichols, and
were accepted by the meeting A committee
of nine, consisting of Judge Shepley, Ezra
Carter, Jr., John b. Brown, C. p. Kimball, w.
w. Thomas, Abner Shaw, n. o. Cram, Flea
ger McKenney, and John b. Cummings,
tneither OF whom were present) was appoint
ed to apply to the Mayor and City Council to
join said committee. This committee are to-
consider the subject and advertise for propo-
sails to bring water from Sebago Lake, or any
other place, to the city, and TO accept the pro
posals of that bidder, which shall be most ad-
most advantageous to the city. II the city
authorities decline joining the committee they
are to proceed on their own responsibility
The meeting then adjourned.

Blame Somewhere.

Wednesday last, By inritation, an excursion
party numbering from four to six hundred
persons came up from Bath 10 visit the Is
lands. They were assured that the barge
should be ready to receive them at the wharf
at ten O'Clock. They trusted to the managers
of the excursion party from this city. from
whom they received their invitation, to make
all the needful arrangements for their accom-
mediation.
Instead of finding the barge ready when
they reached the wharf, they had to wait
there in the broiling sun till past t,reire, and
did not get landed at Pleasant Cove till half
past one. At three o'clock IL was necessary
tore-embark in order to reach the cars at the
appointed time, thus giving them one hour
and a half only to partake of refreshments
and remain on the island.
The consequence was the entire party went
home dissatisfied, and large numbers who Wis
tied our city for the first time, have carried
away an unlavorable impression that they will
not outgrow for years-perhaps never. We
all know the strength Of first impressions,
and how they tinge the views of a life
time.
We do hope when parties invite people in
large numbers to come to our city for pleas
ure, that they viii see TO it that they are not
dsappointed-that they have no reasonable
grounds for fault finding. And we hope our
Bath neighbors will not hold the people OF the
Forest City responsible for whatever OF dis
comfort or disappointment they mag have ex-
perenced.
