Mr.. Savary took from the question box
Of the school . question which read -
follows :-"Are the laws Of the State sum
cient to protect the teacher In the govern
ment Of = school," Mr.. Of
Franklin spoke to this. and took the posi-
tion that the laws arc insufficient. and that
the teacher would not be fully protected
until the law would make the penalty for
striking teacher IS heavy as that for
striking an onlcer Of the law.
The next question. was. ''how shall
whispering be prevented" Professor Allen
spoke to this, taking the ground that il
could not and should not be prevented.
and n Is piece Of cruelty to undertake II !.
Hon. Eugene Hale WAS then called upon
for remarks. He spoke Of the Common
School System. and Of the great work as
signed to the teacher. His remarks were
e9nest and pointed. and were well re-
ceived.
Mr.. Corthell. IS we omitted to say. spoke
to question extracted from the class
knowledge-box. Can q teacher succeed
as well In teaching while sitting As when
standing" Mr.. L. took strong ground
against the 0sitting members Of the pro-

The Bangor Whig Is informed that Arno
wiswell. Esq. Of Ellsworth. has recently
purchased valuable marble quarry at
Deer Isle. which he has since sold to Bos-
ton parties al handsome profit The
marble Is said TO be equal il not superior
to that Of Vermont. and the facilities Of
water transportation will. 1t Is thought,
enable the owners TO compete successfully
with the Vermont quarries.
The Quarry referred to In the above par
agraph. As having been purchased and
sold by Mr.. Wisweli, is situated on the
North Easterly side Of the town Of Deer
Isle, on Eggemoggin Reach. 1t extends
about one hundred and forty rods on the
shore Of the Reach, and back from one. to
one and half miles in one solid mass. II
is what is called rerd antique-a highly
priced marble. and an entirely different
article from the white marble of Vermont.
and more valuable. The Deer Isle mar
bic is Of dark color, some Of il beautiful
ly variegated. and susceptible Of high
polish. Being softer than most kinds of
marble, II can be wrought at much less ex-
pense.
large number Of people from Boston.
New York and other cities, comprising
capitalists, practical marble workers. and
men Of science, have visited the locality
during the past season, All, We under
stand. concur in the opinion of its great
value, and should 1t prove equal to their
anticipations. 10 quarry In this country
can compete with 1t. The Marble can be
quarried and transported to Boston or New
York at less expense than the mere cost Of
transportation from the Vermont quarries.

A Company has been organized in Bos-
ton, and we understand operations have
already commenced.
