The Stakeholder, OF New York, a paper de-
voted to railway interests, speaks of the ener-
gy with which the Knox & Lincoln road is be-
ing pushed along, and, by the way, has the
following about the bridge building: Captain
Samuel league, of Bath, who is building the
bridges, at one place about three miles FROM
the Kennebec river, drove piles 143 feet with
out finding solid foundation. He intends,
however, to eight it out ON that line" until he
strikes bottom or hears from China. He is
building bridge across Sheepscot river, at
Wiscasset, three miles long, with two more to
build across the same river, from 1000 to 1900
feet in length"
1t also devotes half a column to the cheering
prospects OF the Portland s. Rochester road
under the new impetus which has been given
to the enterprise by the city OF Nashua, and
congratulates everybody, and especially Port
land, upon the good things it promises to ac-
complish. 1t looks upon the road as certain
ty now, and a matter Of great consequence to
the people all along the line from here to New
York, but thinks it is OF less Importance to
the latter place than anybody else, for 'all
roads lead to Rome anyway

ISLAND ExoURsIoss. The taste for exour-
sions among our Bay Islands has steadily
grown from year to year, till now a passion for
the pure pleasures they afford, far exceeds the
facilities for them hitherto afforded. We,
therefore, hail with pleasure the announce
ment of the speedy arrival of new steamer,
sufficiently large to carry six or eight hundred
passengers, not only with perfect safety, but
without crovding. We are assured that the
most liberal arrangements will be made with
pleasure seeking parties from every part Of
New England, and efforts have been made to
secure such parties even from New York and
tho West.
The value of their presence in large mum
bers, in business point of view, will be duly
appreciated by our business men. Tney will
furnish our hotels with guests and our stores
with customers. Every business man in the
city has direct interest in encouraging this
important enterprise, and should help sustain
it in every way.

PROF. GOODWIN SMITH has constituted
himself the special champion of England
against the assaults Of Mr.. Sumner. This is
proper enough, for he would naturally be ex.
pected to prefer his native country to the
land he has lately adopted as q temporary
residence, Since he delivered his speech al
Ithaca It has been found that he had previ.
ously written letter to the London Beehive
in which occurs the following rather extraor
binary garagraph:
The information respecting the prospects Of
English emigration, which L was requested tc
procure, had been collected to the best of my
ability, and was about to send it for publca-
ton In your columns; but the speech Of Mr.
sumner has had SO great an effect in revivine
American hostility to England, and the con-
tinuance of friendly relations between the two
countries appears at this moment to be in suoh
peril, that tear the promoters and organizers
OF English emigration cannot for the present
prudently turn their thoughts in this direction.
Judging from what 1 knew of the general
temper of the American people, and from the
language respecting Mr.. Summers speech
which hear. held in conversations, should
say there wofild be norupture; but at the same
time, hold myself prepared for turn of af-
fairs which would oblige English residents to
leave this country.
What fate does the Professor anticipate for
his countrymen who shall be so unfortunate as
to find themselves on this side of the Atlantic
the sca'ping knife?

The meeting of the County Supervisors OF
sch ools at Augusta last week, naturally at
tracted good deal of attention almost as
much as the opening Of a new railroad would.
1t was of more Importance than many rail
roads, if moral may be compared with material
advantages. The beginning of their work by
the County Supervisors marks the first step
aiken to arrest the decay of the common school
system in Mime The State superintendent
made vigorous effort last winter tc take other
steps-to have the school district system abol-
ished and to make attendance compulsory as
in Prussia. No doubt both the Superintendent
himself and those who sympathized with him
in his projects, felt disappointed that the re-
suits of his efforts were no greater But if all
he asked could not be granted at once, the con-
cessions he actually obtained were unqueston-
ably of more Importance than those that the
Legislature refused To provide for something
like adequate inspection is naturally the first
step in educational reform. Hitherto school
supervision has been merely nominal no mat
ter how able and efficient the individual to
whom that duty has been entrusted. lie was
like iarmer with thousand acre lot and no.
body TO assist him. If he cultivated one part
of his territory the rest mustrun to waste, and
if he undertook to cultivste the whole his la
bors were utterly fruitless.
Now we have changed all that. The Super
intendent with his corps Of sixteen subordi-
mates can do the work thoroughly and lay the
foundation for further reforms by searching
out the defects of the existing system and COM
pelling the public to attend to them. They
will hold County Institutes, visit schools, hold
town educational meetings, advise and adj
monish teachers and awaken interest in edu-
cational matters in localities where particular
effort is necessary None but competent men
have been appointed to perform these duties so
far as we can learn. All of them are practical
instructors and some of them, like Stetson of
Androscoggin, and True of Oxford, have quail
ifications that place them in the front rank of
educators in the country.

PERJURY.-In the Superior Court, yester-
day, Patrick Foley was convicted of keeping a
drinking house and tipping shop at Standish.
just before adjournment, County Attorney
Webb moved for sentence upon Foley. Be-
fore imposing the sentence, Judge Goddard
remarked that under the solemnity of an oath
Foley had been guilty of gross perjury, for
which he ought to suffer two years in the
State Prison, under an indictment for tho of
Tense. He had gone onto the stand and told
story in contravention of the testimony fol
the State, which if the jury had believed, they
would, as the Judge had instructed them
have brought in verdict of not guilty But
the jury did not believe his statements, neither
did the Judge In such case as this it was
his, the Judges, determination to impose such
punishment as should deter others from COM
ing before the Court as witnesses and perjur-
ing themselves. He then sentenced Foley to
pay 300 and costs of prosecution, and to bt
imprisoned three months in the County jail
In default of the payment of the fine and
costs, another term of three months imprison.

ENGLISH AND FRENCH ScHooL.-The sum-
mef term of this excellent school will begin on
Monday next, at 430 Congress street, near the
head of State. 1t was established to meet the
views of those parents who desire their chill
dren to commence the study of the French Ian
guage at an early age, when it can be more
easily and more perfectly acquired, than at a
later stage of their education. The import
ancs of this feature of the instruction, appears
from the fact that it is adopted in every large
city of Europe and America, being taught
orally and learned at this age almost as readily
as our mother tongue Parents who have pat
ronized this school are much pleased with the
progress of their children, not only in French
but the English branches, which still receive
tho principal attention.

THE HIGH SCHOOL EXHIBITION. -MEssRs.
EDToRs,-I was pleased to learn by the no.
tice in your paper on Wednesday that the ex-
hibition of the Graduating Glass of the High
School is to be repeated Saturday afternoon at
the schoolroom ON Cumberland street. un-
derstand its first production was attended with
considerable expense in money and great
deal of labor and study ON the part of the par
Elephants, and that the object now in view is
not only to crafty many who desire its repeti-
ton, but to raise little money with which to
enable the class to leave some mementoes in
the schoolro pms for the benefit or qualification
of their successors.
Aside from this consideration, it is an exhi-
bition which does great credit to the ability
and scholarship Of the participants, and one
which our citizens, both young and old, should
take pride and interest in witnessing hope
to see this fully manifested by crowded and
delighted audience ON this occasion.
