/ A. New BOOK BY A MAINE CLERGYMAN.
The Liberal Christian of New York says
that the Rev. Charles Carol Everett, of Ban
gor, has just finished work of great labor
and value, upon which he has consecrated
the best thought AMI study of many years.
Its title is 'sThe Science of Thought, Sys-
tenn Of Logic" Those who have examined
the manuscript agree in pronouncing 1t a
work of remarkable ability, originality and
intellectual comprehensiveness and grasp;
In short, just such book as we should ex-
pecs from man of Mr.. Everett's thoroughly
trained and well furnished mind. 1t will be
brought out at an early day by William v.
Spencer, Of Boston, who has published a
number Of the best books, among which are
the works Of Mill and Martineau.

On Friday evening last the School Board
Of the city of Rock Island unanimously cleo
ted Mr.. Wells A. Bemis, late city School
Superintendent for Davenport, as supeIin.
tendent of the schools of that city,vica James
NJ. Gov, resigned Mr.. Bemis was not an
applicant for the position, and had only that
day terminated his connection with the Dav.
export schools, By retiring from the position,
for re election TO which he had several
weeks previous declined to allow his name
to be used, as the board were officially mott.
fed.
NJ. Bemis has been in the Davenport
schools over five years three years as prin-
pal Of grammar school No. 3, and two and a
half years as city superintendent. He has
also been actively identified with the educa
tional work of the state as a member of the
executive committee of the State Teachers
Association, editor of the School Journal etc.
Mr.. Bemis also took very active part in
forwarding, if indeed, he did not originate,
the movement which led TO the founding of
the Iowa State Reform School.
During the connection of Mr.. Bemis With
our schools several important improvements
were successfully introduced. Among these
We may mention the opening of evening
schools, long taught BY Mr.. B. alone the
teaching of penmsnsh;p made a speciality
in the employment of Mr.. Pratt, whose FIRST
quarters salary WAS paid by MA B. himself
IN order that the board might see the plan
tested without cost the graduation OF psplis
from the grammar schools and the change

The PRIZE RING.-The followers of the
prize ring will be pleased to know that the
innocent diversions incident to their pro.
fession are not altogether eschewed in the
moral township of Presumption. On Sat
urday evening last, David Sewers, Of the
Methodist church, and VIM. Goodner, des
con of the United Brethren, had few words
about hill of cucumbers rooted up by a
hog belonging TO Sewers, whereat they
stripped to the vest, shot out with their hts
and lefts, and mauled and pummeled each
other until their best friends scarcely knew
them. At last accounts neither of them
could see q rod, and the hog business in
dispute was unsettled. They both belong
to the party of great moral IDEAS and are
among the most respectable farmers of the
neighborhood. Goodner carried off the
belt by few odds. Another "mill' is no
improbable, on which occasion we will have
a special reporter on the grounds.
The store of VIM. Hamlet at Presumption
was broken open by burglars the same even
ing t3lst( and robbed Of considerable
amount of goods. Some of the broken boxes
were found next morning in the yard o
VIM. Gray, near by. An individual wit
was suspected of having something to d.
with it, had his house searched on Sunday
without any satisfactory result.
