Georgia month or two ago, before so many
speeches were made, he believed that State

THEATRE.-The play of East Lynne was
produced last evening at Deering Hall, the oc-
casion being the benefit of Miss Dollie Bidwell.
Her rendition of the character of Lady Isabel
and Madam Vine was excellent. There was
nothing over-wrought, and she appeared to pos
sess just conception of the character she was
assuming. The play went off handsomely and
to the satisfaction of the large audience.
In the after piece Locke stirred up the risi-
bles in his excellent Yankee personation Of
Elan P. w. 81. Pancake, IN the sketch of the
Yankee Duelist. No one can exceed Locke in
Yankee presentations, and he is always sure to
bring down the house. a.f

amusing drama of the Yankee in Hungary, in
which Yankee Locke will appear.

Letter from York Co,in.y.

hITTERY, 0epC. To- 1000 x
To the Editor of the Press:
Now that election is over Kittery has be-
come famous through her seven discharged
men," allow me to inform you and the educa-
tiona community generally OF another famous
act, in the building of a new, elegant and COM
modious school house in the village district.
This structure of brick and stone was built at
a cost of $6,400. The whole building Is in ex-
cellent architectural taste, conveniently divid-
ed into appropriate rooms for primary and
grammar departments, well lighted, ventilat-
ed, and warmed by furnace in the basement.
Sunday evening dedicatory services were held
in Armory Hail. The citizens were out in
good numbers, DR.. Otis presiding. Our worthy
State Superintendent Of Common Schools.
Hon. Warren johnson, was present and held
the audience attentive with an able, earnest
talk ,"-as he termed it-but we should say,
address, eloquent with facts we'll put, on the
defects of our present school system and the
remedies. n-.-
He proposed first the abolition of the pres
ent district and agency system, consolidating
the whole into one district, the town. The
experimenting School Committee represents
1ho toWh, OmPlVyluS tue tedCuer luStedu VI tuc
agent as generally at present.
Secondly. He proposes a new agency, inter-
mediate between State Superintendent and
S. S. Committee, the County Supervisor, ex-
officio head of County Associations and
County Institutes and general inspector OF
schools in his comfy.
Thirdly. The revival of the County Insti-
tutes as helps to the teachers for better in
struction. He would improve on the old In
stitutes by continuing them ten days-devoting
the last two to examination of teachers for gra-
ded county certificates, method so satisfac-
torily pursued in many other States.
Fouthly. The County Supsrintendents and
Institutes will cost $4,000 He would not
| take this from the school money-or increase
the taxes, but would save tin the school books.
Hence he advocates State uniformity of text
books, saving the State at least from $25, 900 to
| $4,000 annually. Think of it. We now have
in our common schools "a different arithme-
tics, 3S different readers and so in making the
entire list about 1870, think, while thirty two
would be sufficient. The point is good
| one.
And finally he stated that no. one half oil
our scholars were found in the public schools;
in the city of Augusta not one quarter; only
70 per cent; in our plantation not one twelfth.
He proposed therefore a compulsory law, not
at present perhaps, but alter the schools have
been made attractive and parents have been
urged to fulfil their part He would compel
the attendance of all between eight and six
teen at least three months in the year. All his

Postpenemens If the Agricultural Fair.
We have to announce the pOstponement of
the Seventh Annual Exhibition of the State
Agricultural Society one oeek. 1t will COM
mence on Tuesday, October 9th, and continue
four days. 4@#fs
This postponement is rendered imperatively
necessary by the wretched condition of the
track and grounds where the exhibition is to
be held, owing to the continued and violent
rains Even if the weather should continue
pleasant till next Tuesday the improvement of
the grounds could not be such as to warrant
the Society in proceeding with the exhibition.
Success has been ofganized by the faithful and
underwriting efforts OF the officers of the So
ciety. 1t has been determined that it shall be a
success, and it would be folly to hazard any
thing by going on in the face of disadvantages
that can be avoided by postponement. Every
preparation has been made and all things are
in readiness so far as the completion of the ar
rangements is concerned. The number of en-
tries already made is large beyond proceed
ent. The number of entries of neat stock is
over three hundred. This does not indicate
the whole number of animals, since many of
the entries are of "yokes" of oxen. The num-
Der of entries of horses is 1875 The exhibition
of farming implements, farm products, and
other articles in the various departments of the
fair promises to be by far the largest ever seen
in this State.
There are one or two circumstances in con-
nection with the exhibition that do not seem
to be yet thoroughly understood. The appro-
priation by the city of Portland is under the
absolute control of local committees and is not
in any way subject to the CIDER of the Trustees
of the Society. 1t does not therefore relieve
the citizens Of Portland from the duty of con-
tributing In their individual capacity to the
various departments. They have not, so far,
manifested that interest that was expected of
them. The horticultural Society has united
with the State Society for the purpose of this
exhibition, and its members should put forth
the same efforts that they would if only the
local exhibition were to be held. ri
