Mr.. JOSHUA EMERY has nearly finished an
obelisk of "Spruce Head Granite" which ex-
hibits good deal of skill and taste, as all the
stone work does which comes from his hands.
This granite shaft is two and half feet square
at its base, and bears upon one of it's sides the
following words in raised letters: civilian A.
Willard, died July II, 1865, aged 81 years, IL
months and II days. Father, will that they
also whom thou hast given me, be with me
where / am" There is more lettering to be
done upon the other sides. These letters are
neatly made, and the whole shaft is as smooth
as granite can be made. The base and the snb-
base are of the same material, the former feet
inches square, and IL foot thick, the latter
3 feet inches square and foot thick When
the obelisk is placed upon the base stones it
will be feet high. On the sub-base are the
following letters: "Willard. He giveth his be-
loved Sleep"
1t is one of the most beautiful and substan-
tial monuments we have ever seen, and the
workmanship of it clearly shows that those
who used the mallet and chisel in bringing it
out from the rough block knew how to handle
them. When finished it will be sent to Poria,
Illinois, where it will be set up to mark the
burying places of those whose memories are
dear. 1t is pleasant to visit such a place of in
dustry as Mr.. Emery's where he employs thir-
ty men, whose mallets and chisels make the
right kind of music. Joshua is good 'slAad-
er" of this band, and marks out their work
with true mechanical skill and good TASTE

WRONG STATE OF THNGs.-In the report of
the Sanitary condition of Portland, read at the
annual convention of the Maine Medical Asso-
citation, it is stated that there are still seve-
raj low places in the city which need draining
or filling up, and which the proper authorities
should attend to at once. One of these places
may be found near the corner OF Mountfort
and Adams street. where, during nearly all OF
the season, there was pond of filthy, stacy ant
water, from which noxious gases were con-
stantly arising. , .r.-s
NO mention was made of the artificial res,-l
in the --sr- ol4.A ,on- Bne eastern side of
Spring street. If the proper authorities don't
attend to this matter they will be visited by a
delegation of the ladies up there, and should
it come to that, we cannot answer for their ex-
istence after, for they are pretty wrathv and
can talk.

A MAINE TEACHER IN WAsHINGToN.-The
Washington Chronicle speaking of the exam
nation of colored schools in Washington last
Saturday, says:
Room No. g. Miss D. G. Haskell, of Maine,
teacher, had 40 pupils present. The scholars
we're examined In reading spelling, arithme-
tic, penmanshp, geography, &C., and showed
high stare of proficiency. Miss Haskell has
had charge OF the school but for few months
past, and by hard and patient labor has brourht
the pupils up to the proper standard The
specimens OF penmanship and map drawing
exhibited were excellent, refiecting great credit
upon teacher and pupils. The reading, geog.
raphy, arithmetic, and other studies were all
that could be desired.
