ally large number of people have remove ed

A Veteran Soho olmaster-Some Account
of His Life.
ROCKLAND Nov q 1859

SOOhAAINo, 4NON, o, 1908.
To the Editor of the Press:
Mr. Henry Paine of this city, veteran
school teacher and known to very many
throughout the State, is confined to his room
with severe bilious attack. He seems to be
slowly cOnvalescent, but, it is feared, will not
be about again. His sickness was doubtless
much induced by over-exertion. Mr.. Paine's
life has been one of hard labor, as will appear
when it is stated that he has spent fifty six of
the seventy-two years of it as a school teacher.
He was graduated at Waterville College in
1926, at the age of thirty years, and is, think,
the oldest living graduate of that institution.
1t will be perceived that he had taught consid-
erably before entering college. After his grad
uation, he remained in the institution as teach.
er of classes preparing for the regular course.
He was subsequently elected Tutor, but de-
clined the situation, having received greater
inducements to take charge of school at Els
worth. He taught at Ellsworth, at South
Thomaston and in Windsor, Vermont, some
eighteen months in all; then, feeling it his du-
ty to preach the gospel, he entered upon that
profession. He was, however, led to return to
this State and resume the teachers vocation.
He had charge of Monmouth Academy first,
upon his return, then, of Waterville Acade-
my, as the successor of Henry W. Paine, Esq.
next, of China Academy; subsequently, he
taught in Rockland and Thomaston and nal
ly settled in Rockland. His shortest stay at one
place, after returning to Maine, was four years,
the term of his serve at Monmouth; he has
lived in Rockland seventeen years in all, dur
ing all of which time he has been connected
with the public schools, either as teacher or as
one of the school committee.
Through his influence, the public schools OF
this city were graded, courses of study were
adopted and all the machinery of governments
and instruction in them was regulated and put
in motion. Of late years, besides serving on
the committee, he has given much time to the
tuition of private classes and has allowed him
self but brief periods of repose.
You will find, in almost every town in our
State, persons who have been-under Mr.
Paine's tuition. They will be glad to learn
that his interest in the cause of education and
his life of se!f-sacrifice to it are in some de-
gree, for they cannot be adequately, appreciat-
ed here; and that he will have friends in case
of need, who will be glad to bestow upon him
all sympathy and succor. DENNETT.

Political Notes.

Sufficient returns have been received co in
dictate that constitutional convention was
called by the voters of New Hampshire, cleo
ton day.
The New York Sun says that as near as can
over Governor Seymour on the popular vote is
about 265,O0O. This is the largest majority ever
obtained over all his opponents by any Presi-
Dental candidate, with one exception. That
exception was in 1864, when Mr.. Lincoln re-
ceived ALL ,281 majority over General Nice lellan.
But this was an extraordinary OCCASION since,
because of the rebellion, eleven States did not
vote at all. In 1882, when according to the
traditional belief General Jackson carried the
country overwhelmingly against Mr.. Clay, he
received popular majority of about 100000.
In 1910, when General Harrison was rega1 ded
as having swept the field, he only got 145,OOO
over Mr.. Van Buren,.
The New York Herald has rumor that
Wade is to be Grants Secretary of the Treas
ury.
One of the brightest things said during the
campaign was the declaration of Gen. .Cech-
rane that "the modern Augustus (Belmont),
reversing the action of the elder Augustus,
found New York Democracy of Marble and
left it a Democracy of Brick"
A well-known Republican Senator states
that he has prepared and will introduce into
the Senate when Congress meets, a Constitu-
tional amendment providing for universal
manhood suffrage in all of the States. He
says that it can obtain the requisite two-thirds
vote of each House and can be submitted to
the required three-fourths of the State Legis-
latures, which can convene next winter 1t
will be recollected that two Senators favored
such an amendment of the Constitution of the
United States in open debate in the Senate at
the last session.
Prentiss NJ. Woodman, Esq, of Auburn,
who was elected to the Legislature to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the death of Hon. T. A.
d. Fessenden, states in card published in the
Lewiston Journal that he declines because he
was not nominated at the Republican caucus.
A drunken Democrat was arrested at Low
ell, Mass, on complaint OF his neighbors, on
Tuesday night. The officers found him seated
at table, with large potato in front of him,
four or five candies sticking in it, at his right
hand bottle of whiskey, and at his left a tum-
bier. They asked him what he was about, and
he replied in maudlin tones, can I'm hould-
ing a wake over Saymour!'

Special Order No. 3.
The Marshal takes this opportunity to ten
der his thanks to the members of the several
Grant and Colfax organizations of this city
and vicinity, for the promptness and other SOL
dierly qualities manifested, in answer to the
many calls made upon them from these Head
Quarters during the campaign just closed
The success of the several parades and the
manner in which they were conducted, is
wholly due to your gentlemanly department
and in your earnest endeavors to sustain our
cause. The commanders and officers are emit
tied to the highest praise, for their uniform
courtesy and constant efforts, which added SO
much to the success of our several demonstra-
tions. To those of my staff, Messrs. Harris,
Whitney and Small, I am indebted for many
favors, and, should occasion ever hereafter call
me into like position, it would be my desire
to secure the services of you, gentlemen, who
have so cheerfully supported me ON all occa-
sions.
To others who have lent their aid, and citi-
zens who have so willingly illuminated at my
request,I hereby tender to all my sincere
thanks. A. M. BENSON,

To THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS There is a
class of young gentlemen, socaled, who keep
late hours and delight in carrying out the old
practice of moving signs, &C., and committing
depredations which they call sport, who had

1t was about 2 A. M. Saturday that some
scamp or scamps took lantern from the head
of Temple street and carried it to the foot
leaving it there on the sidewalk. The lantern
belonged to the Water Company and the place
from which it was taken was at the opening of
the ground for the water pipes, and in the
shadow of the large building of Congress Hall.
Such proceedings are risky, for the penalty for
such offence is not light and should not be, as
great danger might follow therefrom. The
fellow may thank his good fortune that he
barely escaped, for the lantern was found but
few minutes after twas left there Otherwise,
neither broadcloth nor dignity would have pre-
vented his retracing his steps up Temple to
Congress, down Congress to Myrtle, thence to
the lookup. F. W.
