DR.. E. Shepley Of Yarmouth ami Mr.. Free.
man OF the same town, urged the location at
Yarmouth, on account Of the salubrity of the
climate, the great railroad facilities, the fact
that it was close TO Brunswick, and that the
Eastern counties wanted it there. They stated
that Yarmouth Academy was the most popu-
lar one in the State for many years and that
it was on the direct line of the three great ed
ucational establishments of Maine Yarmouth
offered buildings and lot worth $40 600, stock
in'the Canal Bank, Portland, worth S24OO, and
subscription of SIG, 3S7; total, $3s 737.
Judge Waterman on behalf Of Gorham spoke
OF the railroad facilities of Gorham, which vii
lage formed cul du sac to draw the pupils
from the east, who. it is known, insist upon
going westward, and to gather pupils not only
from Maine but from New Hampshire and
vermont, which States the p. & r and P. &
.. railroads were opening up to nearer inter-
course with Maine; spoke of the salubrity of
climate there, stating that in thirty years Only
four pupils had died in the Seminary build
lngs, aud but twelve in Gorham. Gcrham Of
fered buildings and land valued at 500 $40, per-
sona property valued at 81 100, and a cash
subscription, based on the contingency of the
school fund being endowed, of $4,000; total,
$5O770.
Mr.. Harris Of Auburn offered buildings val
ued at $4,000 to $35 900. with $4,000 cash.
He said that no effort had been made TO induce
the committee to locate the school at Auburn,
because they thought committee would be
sent there to value the buildings. He felt and
the other trustees felt it was not their place to
puff up their property or their community.
Mr.. Page of Hallowell spoke of its advan-
tages, and offered academy buildings worth
$4,000 with lot, a fund of $1,000 and subscrip-
ton OF $4,000, of which $4,000 was subscribed

FARMERS CLUB OF GoRHAM AND STAND
1sH-The exhibition of the Farmers Club of
Gorham and Standish took place yesterday at
Gorham village. The attendance was very
large, equal in number to some of the large
crowds who have heretofore p .tronsed our
county fairs. The show OF stock was large
and the display of corn, vegetables, potatoes
AMI fruits of all kinds would compare favor
ably with the State Fair recently held at Au-
gusta. 1t was universal remark that better
looking corn never grew in this section. The
miscellaneous articles were numerous, and
showed extraordinary good taste and skill in
their workmanship. The ladies' seemed to
have We'd with each other in the matter of the
most extensive kinds of work in quilts, rugs,
Sc, and who surpassed, it would be difficult
to decide.
MIR, d. B. Brown of Portland, who is all ways
ready to lend helping hand to exhibitors Of
art, contributed several of his fue pictures
from the collection which can be seen at the
splendid art gallery of F. F. Hale ESQ. The
magnificent view of the old ocean, as seen in
Eastern Maine, was very much admired, and
the splendid frames watch has given Mr.. Hale
such deserved reputation, we're an addition
well appreciated.
The Town Hall was crammed full of beauti-
full specimens of handiwork, and was visited
by thousands Of people. The farmers of Cor
HIN and Standish evidently had good time,
as everything passed off without complaint or
accident.
The company was so large and the exhibition
SO full it was found necessary to continue the
same through to-day wednesday, when the
exhibition will close and the premiums will be
announced.

NATIONAL POLITICS.

The Questions of Finance and Taxation
The Reduction of Tu1cs-Mr. Bout
well and his Funding Policy-How he
Looks upon 1.-THE Ways and Means
and the Tariff.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Times, speaking of the work before Con-
gress, now that the holidays are over, says:
The first subjects which will be considered
with sufficient interest to thoroughly absorb
all the elements in both Houses, are finance
and taxation. The Ways and Means will,
within week, report a rcadjustcd tarifl-or
rather, an amended tariff, whereby it will be
proposcd TO reduce taxation from that source
about SO, ,0U0, 900 to 10000 600. This will be
the first measure to he aclctl OH IN the House.
In the Senate the first financial measure likely
to be considered is Funding bill. IL matters
little what theories or arguments may be ad-
vanccd, so far as the possibility 0f funding Is
concerned, Mr.. Boutwell, will nnQuestiOnably
get the authority, and if lie does he will GER
tainly try the experiment. lie seems tO DC
very confident OF success, and argues that We
certainly can be no worse OIL than we are now,
even il he should try it and fail. He differs In
toto from the position so widely nelu ny tlc
press, that resumption is absolutely nc
ccssary to funding. He holds that the ability
and Willingness of the country to pay Is
the foundation of the natioual credit; that the
only way to fund the debt at lower rate is to
maintain the credit at Il high rate; that the
only way 10 maintain the credit at high rate
is to demonstrate ability and determination
to pay the debt and that the only test by
which such ability can be Judged is the manner
IN which the people respond 10 the taxes. He
believes that resumption Gun aid funding, but
he also believes that funding will aid resump-
tiun by rendering it entirely safe and practi-
cable TO reduce taxation; that with such an
enemy before us as the public debt, we cannot
safely surrender, 10 any large extent the means
the ability and willingness of the people 10
pay taxes, and thus place the debt where 1t
can be managed, with as much faith us he did
upon their ability and willingness to furnish
