SCHOOL SUPERvIsIoN.-One of the most
supervision is found in the improved school
buildings which are now so fast replacing the
old and worn out ones so long disgrace to our
State. 1t is true that in the larger towns build
ings of the better order have been built for sew
eral years; but doubt " neither, in any pre-
v.ous year. so much has been done in the rural
districts for the improvement of their school
accommodations as will be done this present
season. was most forcibly impressed by this
cheering sign of the times by noticing the work
going on in Bridgton, Naples and other towns
in that part of the county. As evidence of the
enterprise which distinguishes the people of
that section it is worthy of notice and of the
highest commentator; but would allude to
it here as showing the advantage resulting
from energetic school supe. piston. During the
past year our State Superintendent through
his able and active county supervisors has
reached more people than he otherwise could
have reached in ten years, and has awakened
an interest proportionably intense. Teachers
and all interested have been benefited by
meeting and comparing notes in institutes and
conventions, which the public have been slim
ulated to greater exertions by the labors of
some OF the best educators from other States
The wisdom of this policy will be apparent to
all, and it is desirable that it be pursued until
our schools and school buildings shall be an
object of pride to every citizen. c.

for few moments the scene was appalling.-
Two policemen appeared and attempted to
take the razor from him, but .thout avail
He finally threw the razor down and began to
throw stones, but being defenceless one
of the officers hit him on the head with his
club, telling him to the ground. Du egan

The "Alarm" is beautiful yacht of very near

by VOORHEES,, at Nyack in 1864 and lately en-
rolled on the books of the Brooklyn Yacht
CLUB, having come in third at the race that
trans PRED week ago, and having several
tlmes prev 'ously carried eff the first prize for
boats of her class. She is sloop yacht, forty
nve feet long and fifteen and halt broad her
tonnage is thirty-five tons, old meas uremcnt,
seventeen tons new measurement, and the
length of her boom is forty-two feet. She is
consequently about ton larger than the
cray" but is seven feet shorter than that ves-
sci. Her main boom is one foot shorter than the
rays" The two boats being SO near a size
good deal of anxiety will be awakened to see
which is the smarter boat. The Ray" is a
keel boat, the Alarm" is center board.
The Alarm has very commodous cabin
handsomely fitted up and is provided with an
excellent state-room and four large berths of
Unusual width. She has also q nice pantry
and kitchen with ample accommodations for
ward for the crew, which at present will consist
of two men besides the sailing master and
steward. Her sails consist of mainsa;l, gait
top-sail, iib and balloon jib, and the jlb and
mainsail are pretty large sheets of canvas. 1t

WE clip the following appreciative notice OF
one of Harry Browns recent paintings from
the Springfield Republican:
Seldom do we have the opportunity of see
ing in Springfield painting of so high order
as one now on free exhibition in BuchhOlz's
photograph rooms in Townships block. 1t is
the chef and latest work OF Harry Brown, the
Portland artist, whose marine views have won
him fame, ard represents Morning on the
Coast OF Maine" near Mount Desert. The
peculiar precipitous savagery of the coast i.
boldly limned, with here and there a fringe OF
stubby evergreens on ledge, cliffs covered
with a messy verdure, and their heights just
touched and glorified by the first sun rays.
The clouds and fog roll back into obscure dark
ness from the coming orb, and light suffused
fragment of mist fingers in gorge high up.
The fine use of light and shade would be the
excellence Of the picture, save for the still
more remarkable treatment of the rolling
dasbing waves. The color varies magicaliy, as
TO the sight, and whether dark in the trough
of the wave or yeasty in foam over the break
ers, tie very motion and vgOr of the strong
ocean are imprisoned in the artists work.

up badly, and doctor had to be called to
straighten him out.
