he could prove the non-immortality of the soul
and the materiality of man, he had gained the
main point in the discussion. This part Of the
discussion was exceedingly interesting, Mr..

the affirmative with Bible and philosophy. The
re naming evenings were devoted to the first
clause of the resolve. the affirmative maintain
ing that demons were all about us in the air,
but invisible, taking possession of those call
ing themselves Spirituaists and producing the
phenomena. called Spirtualism. Here we
think Mr.. G. was hardly logical and destroyed
his own argument, maintaining as he did in
the opening that nothing could exist independ-
ent OF a material organization. The arguments
of the negative in this part of the discussion
we've also without point and mystical. The
discussion was hardly satisfactory and moth
ing definite was proven on either side.
A meeting of unusual interest was held at
the UniversaHst Church at this place yesterday
afternoon and evening, in commemoratinn of
the centennial year of the denomination. Rev.

Hon. Sidney Perham was made President of
the evening meeting, aud after brief speech,

the claim which the denomination sustained to

OUR Duty TO OURSELVES. On our hrsl

OF the Scandinavian immigrants VINO are
about to settle in our State. Id oiuei ~
make the scheme a success the state must
adopt liberal policy toward them, aud pro-
vision must be made for sustaining Them till
they can oct such a start as will enable them
to support themselves. The Western States
ought to be an example to us in this respect.
They have spared neither money nor effort
to attract immigration. They have been
fully alive to the fact, which we seem to have
forgotten, that it was wise economy to part
with money for the sake of getting men.
Consequently the West has steadily advanced
in wealth and prosperity while we have bard
ly held our own. True the West has advan-
tages which we do not possess. But if we
but use the advantages we have, there is nc
reason why Maine should not make steady
progress, both material and moral. But We
must abandon anything that looks like SUI
pine and nigsardly policy, and with cheer.
full energy make the most of the advantage:
we have, neelecting no means of filling Vi
our vacant territory with hardy and thrifty
population and of promoting their welfare
and happiness. This is our true policy, and
now that the ball is in motion let it be KEEP,

A VENERABLE CATHOLIC clergyman
Father Stars, explains papal infallibility as
meaning that the Pope is in spiritual matters
merely what the Supreme Court is in law,
that is, the final arbiter. If this is correct
explanation infallibility seems an il-chosen
word for expressing the fact which is not in
tallibilty after all. Who pretends that the
tribunal that pronounced the infamous bred
Scott decision is infalible even when acting
in its official capacity? That would be a
most "damnable heresy.' The explanation
seems rather lame. 1t looks like something
cooked up for the American public, to which
the dogma in its naked shape is SO transpar-
emily absurd. If this is infalibility the parade
OF an Ecumenical Council was "much ado
about nothing"

The FINANCES of the Turkish Empire are
not in promising condition. Last year the
increase of expenditure over revenue amount

annual charge for the public debt has been in

The Life Sustaining Priu,iuIe.

The vital and the muscular systems are entirely
distinct from each Other. A man may have the
Drawn Of Hercules but if he is deficient in vital
energy he will not wear well, last as long, or
be as healthy and happy while be does last as the
man of ordinary, slender build, who possess
SEES larger share Of this animating principle. One
OF the greatest recommendations OF that pure vege-
table invgorant, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, is
that it increases the vital force OF the system. No
medicine can double the volume of a mans muscle,
or thicken and vulcanize his thews and sinews but
Hostetter's Btters has an effect much more impor-
tant Its use promotes constitutional vgor. 1t re-
intorces the life-power, OF which bone and sinew,
and muscle are merely the instruments, holding the
same relation to it that machinery does to steam.
Let the slight and apparently fragile take heart,
they may have more stamina, though far less physi-
cal strength, than the broad shouldered athletes
they regard with envy. To restore to sustain, to
increase this staminal principle which, when in iull
supply, is the source Of health and the best guaran-
tee OF longevity is special property of the famous
restorative. 1t is not only specific for dyspepsia,
biliousness, intermittent levers, constipation, &C.,
and a preventive Of all diseases Of a maarious
character. but the best of all medicines for strength

NOhIh DERWlCh, August L, 1871.
| To the Editor OF the Press:
The annual meeting of the York County
| Teachers Institute assembled this morning
under circumstances of peculiar interest to the
friends of Education. Scarcely one wear has
elapsed since the present system of ecounty
supervision was inaugurated, yet the evident
success and prosperity of our schools the re-
newed efforts and interest on the part of
teachers, warrant us in saying, that never be.
fore, in the history of "benighted York." were
there so favorable auspices Of future improve
ment, and development of school talent.
Everywhere the friends of education are thor
oughly aroused, and are showing their good
will by their prompt attendance and earnest
attention to the points under consideration.
Some time since, Prof Mabry reported
through the PREsslthat there would be a very
large attendance at the coming Convention;
and the very large number on this our first
day, seems to sufficiently fulfil the prophesy.
Pfot +: a: Alien ct Penn, and supt john
visor, Mr. Hawkes. of Limerick, Mr. Ferpuson
OF Shapleigh and more than sixty others of the
very best teachers of the county, whose names
your reporter did not learn, were among the
number present.
Many Joints of vital interest to the "comipp
teacher" were discussed at considerable length;
yet nothing was said but that it brought its
own practical les, on with it,
AT the close of the session Friday p. NJ, all
the teachers present will be exam ned by the
various Professors, and graded certificates
given to all according to their education and
capabilities of teaching.
Toe examination will be conducted in the
following manner. Slips of paper will be Civ
en- each teacher with ten questions in the par
ticular study desired written upon them
Teachers will then write the answers accord
ing to the best of their ability.
None but those who are deficient in proper
amount of knowledge will raise any objections,
and those are the very cues we want to have
examined. "Let merit win its way Is our
motto as teachers

their dispatches: and states that those papers
which have given publicity to the falsehood
will be sued for libel unless they publish a
denial.
Their account of the affair is that Mr.. F. c.

Pacific line being down at Omaha, went across
the street 10 balcony adjoining the Western
