The farmers are getting along nicelyin
haying, and some have finished. The
moving machines are n great help 10
them, and are used more extensively than
ever before.
Mr.. Franci, G.. Stevens, has half

for passengers by stage both ways,
through Canton, Peru and Dixfleld, has

our road is to be completed. {.
The Lewiston Journal correspondent
says: The farmers of Oxford are filling
up their barns with an unusual large
quantity Of first quality hay. Theamount
cut will be no larger than last year but
its actual value is far greater. In ride
through Conton. Livermore and East
Livermore, the other day, the cheerful
rattle Of the moving machines was
heard on every side. The mower and
horse rake are coming into almost
universal use among our farmers. In
fact the scarcity of labor renders tho
employment Of these machines q neeessi-
ty.
We begin again to hear sanguine
predictions relative 10 the future of our

son of Frank O. j. Smith, is in town and
has rented house which he proposes to
occupy with his family the remainder OF

deyoutly To be wished for" and we expect
to see it reality within the present year.

DEATH OF A Prominent CITIzES.-We

died ut his residence, on Bracket street,
on Sunday evening, after only few days
illness, of pneumonia. Mr.. Shaw was
one OF, if not the Oldest merchants in the
city. He commenced his business career
about the year 1908, and continued an
active business man till about ten years
ago, when he retired He was at one
time a Director of the Canal Bank
Messrs. John b. Brown and st. John
Smith, laid the foundation Of their
mercantile education in Mr.. Shaws
counting house. Mr.. Shaw leaves =

this town in 1895; Solomon Shaw, now
living here, IS brother to Alpheus.

1t is questionable whether the state
ment published last week, that 500 tons
of hay are cut within circuit OF quar-
ter of mile from the Court House. in our
village, will stand the test of figures. A
mathematical friend figures that there are
only l25 acres within circle a halt mile
in diameter, or quarter of a mile from a
center, and deducting the area of the
roads. house lots and garden plots, only
a hundred acres would be left, and the
whole land must produce Ave tons to the
acre to make the statement good. A cir
Gle one mile in diameter gives 497 -
acres. Had the original statement In
cluded half mile circuit. it would have
been nearer the truth, probably.

to the resolutions of the Democratic State
Convention of 1868, which express more

I cannot doubt that If the principles thus

disregard of these principles by the party

The FIRST quartsf of my labors a. Super

I am urged By my own feelings to thank
you for the cordial manner in which 1:

have found many earnest and valu-
able teachers. These have hailed with
delight any new suggestions that could
present for conducting their recitations.
Many teachers are young and have had
little experience, yet could readily de-
tect among many of them the elements
of the successful teacher. Attendance at
the Institute, the Normal school, longer
experience and the reading of books on
the art of teaching, will soon render them
most efficient teachers. A few have not
presented the qualities of successful teach
ers, and will no doubt give way TO bet
ter class.
Thus far have been able to 60 over
but q small portion of the County, though
| have travelled many miles, visited many
schools and labored hard TO improve their
condition. have recently revisited sew
er.,l of them to see ifmy suggestions have
been needed, and the result Is most
gratifying one. A new impulse has been
given to the teachers and pupils. the old
ruts have been left, and new and improv-
cd methods of instruction adopted.
would respectfully suggest that such
teachers as have not closed their schools,
should select for each Of their classes
some piece 10 be read as correctly rs pos
sibie on examination day. Drill on these
pieces till they can read them fluently.
| II will be . point gained. Show before
the committee what your pupils hare
learned, not what they have not learned.
Invite the mothers to come to the examina-
ton with their knitting work and sec for
themselves what has been accomplished
the present summer. hope to see
great change brought about in the schools
of Oxford County within the next two
years. This will be largely effected by
the increased facilities that will be fur
nished to teachers for learning the art oil
teaching. The earnest teacher will be
quite sure TO be the successful one.
