May-day in Bath.
To the Editor of the Press

10 the Edat0r OF the PreSs
The unusually fine morning of this day
was largely employed by the children and
youth of our city, in roaming over the hills
and through the woods in search of the fra
grant and ever welcome May-fowers. Some
parties were quite successful, and after their
search was ended, they erected the May-pole,
and with song and dance crowned their fair
queen. The schools were all closed, and we
were reminded of the lons-ago times. when
May. day was the festival dearest 10 the chill.
dren of Old England of any in the year.
But there has been another Mav-nartv in
Bath to-day, at which several hundred of our
best citizens were present, and in which there
was a great amount of pleasure and solid COM
fort realized. The ladies, who have orpaniz-
ed large and enterprising society, in aid of
the fund for the Soldiers Orphans Home, to
be erected in this city, when, presently, our
men shall be half as deeply interested in the
work as their wives and daughters are, gave a
splendid May-day breakfast at the City Hall,
from the hours of eleven A. M. to two p M
The hall was finely decorated with bunting,
flags, pictures and evergreen, the tables were
most temptingly spread, (many families bring
ing their own dishes, vases and silverware,)
and the May-fowers gathered yesterday, me,
the eye in every direction.
General Chamberlain, of brunswick, was
present as an invited guest. The Mayor of
the city presided at the table where the Gen
erai, the clergymen and prominent citizens
were seated, and the hall was filled to its ut
most capacity.
The bill Of fare was perfectly satisfactory
and the young ladies acting as walters were
smiling attentive and most aSsduOuS in their
efforts to accommodate and provide for ALL
This May-party has been perfect success,
and many were heard to say that they hoped

That the reception of trichinous food should

That the reception of trichinous food should
occasion the trichinal disease, is susceptible OF
demonstration through its effects on other ami
mails. Any animal may be selected at viii,
and fed with flesh containing trichinae, and
in from ten days to fortnight, its muscles
will contain the parasites, though they were
free from them before.
At certain festival dinner, in hotel, at
Heltstedt, Prussia, in 1868, there were one hum
dred and three guests. Most of these persons
were afterwards taken sick, and many of them
died. The disease was trichiniasis, and was
traced to kind of sausage, called 'Roeste-
wurst," which constituted part of the bill of
fare, and of which most of the guests partook
The microscope showed the scraps of the saus-
ages, and also the pork from which they were
made, to be thronged with trichin@. The mus
cles of those who died were also full of the
parasites.
In the winter of 1864, there were numerous
cases of the disease in the city of New York.
Most of certain family, who had eaten OF
raw, smoked ham, were taken sick and one of
the children died. Both DR.. Schnetter and
Prof. Dalton examined the ham and found it
full of the parasites Prof Dalton, by exam
lining definite portion under the microscope,
and counting the worms, computed their num-
Der to be 5000 to the cubic inch of the ham.
| Not long after this DR.. Voss had case of the
suspected disease come under his care. To
settle clearly the diagnosis of the disease, he
cut through the integuments down upon one
of the shoulder muscles Of his patient, and
taking out portion, submitted it to examin-
alton, and found it to contain trichinae. Prof
Dalton computed their number to be more
than 1000 to the cubic inch.
This parasite is found in quite variety Ct
filth-eatinganimals such as eels, cats, dogs, bad
gers, hedgehogs, moles &C., but never as
have yet learned in the flesh of any clean ami
mails. only as they have been introduced by
way of experiment. The main source of dan.
ger, however, lies in the use of pork not suff
GENTLY cooked. Heat great enough to cool
meat well will destroy the parasites, though
curing meat for preservation does not involve
their destruction. From the peculiar nature
of this disease, we infer, that the thorough
cooking of all meats, likely to be infected, j:
the only safeguard against the possibility Of
an attack, till suitable inspection shall be in.

That father, (returning from heightened
absence, during which he left his family conf
IDENTIFY in the protection of the laws) who is
Mortified by the spectacle of one OF his children
beaten and wounded until the flesh was mace
rated and crushed, should sst the indignant
counsels of his friends and neighbors, and the
natural and instructive promptings OF his own
outraged affections, pointing to an instant and
commensurate retaliation upon the author OF
the brutal deed and checking his own almost
irresistible, and most natural impulses, quietly
subInis his grievance to the vindication of the
law, is an example which speaks for itself, and
Scatters to the winds the accusation OF relent-
less pursuit of vengeance. With majority OF
fathers the punishment would have sooner fol-
lowed the offence. When man of the unques-
tionable character, and sincere religion, which
is universally accorded to the distinguished
officer who appeared for the prosecution, is SO
shocked and horritied at the appearance of
child, as to express his astOnishment that the
parent could by any possibility restrain himself
it is charitable to suppose that the reverend in
cumbent OF the highest position in our school
system, must have been suffering from defect
OF vision when he made the examination which
resulted in his appreciation. The marks of those
blows were plainly visible to the weakest eyes,
three weeks from the day they were inflicted,
and if such discipline receives the cordial
approval OF those chosen to preside over the
education of our children, while there is no
crime known to the law for which a single bIoW
may be given in punishment, it would be profit
able to inquire into the disproportion which
exists in the administration of penalties in this
the nineteenth century, upon the miscreants
and malefactors, who rob our houses and beset
our highways, and the children whom we en-
trust to the tender mercieS OF our public
schools. HI.

Union man, and the "rlght to secede" not hav-

and animated discussion between the Parson
and old Colonel B., one of his flock. The
Colonel maintained and dogmatically decided
that the right of secession was implied if not
expressed in the Constitution, and, if not $50
nominated in the bond," it should be. The
Parson was called to officiate when Mary, the
Colonies daughter, proposed TO become Mrs.

SOME REMARKS UPON THE EVIDENCE. One
of the most correct and judicious young men
in our acquaintance, one of the most truthful
and upright gentlemen we have ever known
and one of the most successful teachers in the
State, gave a Brunswick boy smart whipping
for open and bold breach of school rule. That
he whipped him severely was not denied, but
that the boy was hurt to any serious extent, or
in danger of suffering any personal injury was
only obscurely suggested. The boy sat on the
hard side of board large part of two DAYS
Immediately following, rode bare back" the
next day but one from this date, and didn't
even have to take castor oil to exhilarate the
system. That the punishment was, although
unusual perhaps, not brutal in spirit or even
in fact, was quite apparent; and that the teach
er was cordially and unanimously sustained by
every member of the School Committee, and by
every teacher connected with him was also
shown. Yet, because it was technicolly an as
sault by being possibly ercessiue, though not
partaking, in any sense, of the nature Of reck-
lessness, he was adjudged guilty and fined
twenty-five dollars.
Juries are almost always right in criminal
cases, and, strictly speaking, might have been
here, but it is pretty hard thing to advertise
to the community that such man and such a
teacher should suffer this tax, for doing what
he deliberately deemed necessary to do. and
what everybody in authority with him SO en-
tirely justified him in doing. Public policy is a
thing that sometimes enters into these caicula-
lions, r ......

Mr.. TENNEY Permit me to publicly express
my thanks to those friends who have refused

vestigations in the Brunswick school master
case" This Endorsement of my conduct by
those best oognizant of all the circumstances of
the transaction, by citizens of Brunswick,
deeply Interested in the welfare of their public
schools, and of the rising generation by men
whose livelong labors in the cause of education
have given them reputS ton not confined to
the limit of their own State, 1 value far above
any consideration of dollars and cents
To those citizens, who, deeming that the in
terests of their schools and community demand
ed that they should express themselves une-
quivocally in favor of order and discipline, have
offered by their contributions to relieve me en-
tirely from any pecuniary burden arising from
this matter, desire to say-That this express
sion OF their continued confidence, and substan-
tial recognition of the honesty of my efforts, to
secure the best interest of their schools, is ex-
ceedingly gratifying. But being amenable to
the laws prefer to meet the consequences of
my own acts. The cOnsiderata view which the
court seemed disposed to take of the alleged
offence, and the kind consideration of counsel
and witnesses, have made these consequences
SO far endurable, that the interest and influence
of friends, which the aninaes with which this
prosecution was urged on, has secured me, and
the legal knowledge and experience gained in
its management, more than counterbalance any
pecunlary inconvenience to which have been
subjected. Ny refusal to accept the contribu-
tons which publicly and privately have been
rendered to an amount beyond all expenses in
CURED, arises from no distrust of the motives
which have prompted such liberality, but from
an unwillingness to become in any way a bur-
den to the community.
