SHERIFF.-Capt. George w. Parker, who for
four years has held the office of Sheriff of this
County, retired from his situation last night.
1t is but an act of justice to Capt. Parker to
say that he has performed the duties of the office
in the most faithful and acceptable manner,
and he has the respect and best wishes of the
members of the Cumberland Bar and his hosts
of friends in his retirement. Z
Capt. Parker is succeeded in office by Eben
N. Perry, Esq, of Cape Elizabeth, who has
been faithful Deputy Sheriff for several
years. Mr.. Perry has removed from the Cape
and taken possession of the Jail or "Parker
House." He has made the following appoint

The school Returns.

To The Editor Of the Press:
1t has always been regarded as a mark of in
discretion to discuss questions, in newspaper
with the editor of such paper. The writer is in
much the same predicament as a lawyer at
tempting to argue point with judge, after
his decision has been rendered. No matter
how ridiculous such may be,-full OF errors OF
fact, and of erroneous conclusions-it must
stand as The law until overruled by a higher
tribunal. Having made blunder. stubborn
judge viii stick to his ruling, to keep up the
dignity of the court
In replying to the structures OF your cores
pondent Damon" in Thursdays Press, had
no idea Of getting into discussion with til
editor though am quite willing that he should
take up the controversy if it suits him.
The Press of this morning says damon
pointed out Mr.. Poor's iallacy by calling his
attention to the fact that the amount required
to be raised by towns is based, not upon the
number of scholars, but upon the number of
inhabitants" and the editor infers that Mr..
Poor imagined that the law of 1868 changed
the basis of the tax from scholars to inhabit-
ants.

the discussions of the Legislature in 1868, and
knew the origin and the terms of the act APP
proved March Sd, 1868. increasing the amount
of monies which towns shall raise for the sup
port of schools. Mr.. Poor was interested. also,
in the discussion Of the bin to establish Board
OF Education, so ably and deliberately urged in
debate by Mr.. Dingley of Lewiston,-so that
the whole assumption of the editor. that wrote
in the ignorance of the law, is entirely untrue,
The only question then is, wheeler in my
letter of Nov. 30, 1868, to the Superintendent
of Schools, I said anything which would justify
the criticism of Damon, or of the editor of the
Press. What did say was this, "the with.
drawal of the principal part of the bounty paid
to the towns of the State, consequent upon the
abandonment OF the bank tax, and the large
increase of taxation required by recent aud
former laws, have so operated upon the feelings
OF the community that disposition is shown
to diminish, rather than swell, the lists Of
scholars in the several towns"
There was strong temptation formerly on

EDWIN FoRREsr.-No matter how much

EDWIN FoRREsT.-No matter how much Mr.
Forests readings of Shak, speare may excite
the praise or blame of critics, there still re-
mains the well known fact that he is, and has
been, for over quarter of a century, one Of, if
not the leading tragedian of the American
stage. The name of-Edwin Forrest is more ia

many great statesman, and we cannot believe
that there is any one in Portland who has
never had the good fortune to see him, who
will fail to attend on this occasion, not men
tioning those who have seen him and who of
course will be present. Tonight he appears as
Othello. 1t is pity that his acting should be
cramped by such a narrow stage as that of City
Hall, and that great deal of the scenery must
be left to the imagination, but the want of sur
roundings will only cause his genius to show
forth all the brighter.

A NEW FAMILY PApER.-The successful
founder of illustrated papers in America,
Frank Leslie, will issue in the first week in
January new family paper entitled "The
New World" devoted to romance travel, dis
coveries, the farm and the kitchen, art, poetry
and humor. 1t is to contain several features
of interest not found in any family newspaper
now published, but required by modern wants
and improvements, such as a record of recent
scientific discoveries, by Prot. Joy of Column
bia College; transactions of the polytechnic
and farmers department OF the American In
stitute, illustrated; health and its laws by Dr.
A. X. Gardner; incidents of travel and remi-
niscences of adventure by Hon. e. G.. Squier
and other travellers; food and how to cook it,
the dairy, the orchard and the garden; each
number is also to contain bill of fare with
directions for its preparation, adapted to the
season, for each day of the week by the Lee
lands of the Metropolitan Hotel. The whole
tastefully printed and illustrated

by such artists as Leutze, Culverhouse, Chap
pell and others, illustrating Bunyan's Pill
grim's Progress, and styled the "Pigrim," will
open at Deering Hall on Wednesday evening
next. 1t is accompanied with instrumental
and vocal music and a lecture, and has been
highly endorsed by all churches, Protestant
and Catholic The closing transition scene,
representing the passage of the River Of Death
and Ascension to the Celestial City, is one of
great beauty. The pres, Of Boston speak Of
the exhibition in high terms of commentator,
over 100 representations having been given in
that city to full houses. We have no doubt it
will create an equal sensation here.
The Portland daily press., 1869-01-01

The Ad Jertiser deprecates "squabble."
So do we. The Advertiser was the aggressor
in the first instance, and we rejoice that it is
the first to ask truce. We are not disposed,
however, to grant a cessation of hostilities by
a tacit admission that there was "no Senator
ial contest in September" Even upon that
hypothesis the Advertiser involves itself in a
curious difficulty, for it holds that majority
of the Republicans of Portland favor the re-
election of Mr.. Morrill,. If this be true, how
does it happen that in convention of forty
nine members, selected without reference to
this question, torty-three were in favor of Ham
lin? The improbability of such an accident
would be as great as that marvellous distribu-
ton of $4,000 votes, changed from Grant to
Seymour, mentioned by Wendell Phillips,
which would have given the victory to the latter
The irreconcilable nature of these two propo-
sitions shows the fallacy of the Advertisers
whole reasoning. There aoas a contest in Sep
TENDER, in which the friends of Mr.. Hamlin
triumphed, and no one did more to contribute
to that result than Mr.. Foster, whose name
has been most indelicately brought into this
controversy by our neighbor.
The Portland daily press., 1869-01-01

makes another statement of his views on the
decrease of scholars in Maine in an article
which appears in to-day's Press. If he makes
it clear that "a large increase of taxation by
recent over former laws has any influence
ITO diminish rather than swell the lists Of
scholars in the several towns" when the obi
GUS tax is in no ,oay dependent upon the num-
Der of scholars returned, we must acknowledge
chronic dizziness of apprehension. The most
that can be conceded is, that the diminished
amount of the State school fund may have a
negative influence by partially removing one
of the temptations. that may formerly have ex-
listed to swell the lists.

DEATH OF A PROMINENT MAN.-Hon Levi
Morrill,, of Westbrook, died at his residence in
that town yesterday afternoon, about o'clock.
Mr.. Morrill, has been one of the prominent
men of Westbrook, and has been repeatedly
elected to offices of responsibility, not only by
the citizens of his own town, but also by the
people of the county. He was an active and
energetic citizen, and was one of the original
projectors of the York & Cumberland, now
the Portland g Rochester Railroad His
health has been poor for some time. His age
was 66 years. lt "
