The Maine Classical school.

The Christian Mirror of this morning has
two additional communications about the Clas-
steal School, One from the venerable Rev.
David Shepley of Yarmouth, who has been
Trustee of Yarmouth Academy for many years,
and has taken deep interest in that institu-
ton, and to his labors the friends of that insti-
tuition are largely indebted for the generous
gift which was raised to secure the Classical
School at Yarmouth Mr.. Shepley criticises
severely the recent communication of Prof. j.
d. Sewell, in which he objects to the condi-
lions of the Yarmouth offer. He says that
conditions are common to donations, and
should not te despised; that the conditions
of the Yarmouth offer would of necessity be a
feature in The proposed school, and that the
Professor insists that it shall be feature else
where. Mr. Shepley then asks, "What then
impels the Professor to make haste to think
and to pronounce emphatically and SO hastily
OF Yarmouth" Not waiting for the Professor
to reply. he answers-"That the true explana-
ton is in the fact that they who cling else.
where find Yarmouth substantially pretty in
vulnerable,
Mr.. Shepley favors the dormitory system,
"hN says, tuo OulluluSS III drm0utl are
excellent and would need only inexpensive
changes"
The other communication is from Rev. S,
Thurston, d. D., of Searsport, who is one of
the locating committee. He is understood to
be friendly to Yarmouth. He is earnest in his
disapproval of the action of the committee and
after stating his.reasons, which in many re-
spects are substantially the same as given by
Prof. J.IB. Sewell, he says, 81 am stronglyland
distinctively impressed with the belief that the
location of our school at Auburn would 90 far
towards defeating the object of its establish
ment"
He further states that he does not consider
the question decided, for the judgment of the
Committee is not a fnality. He says:
They have decided that this their ;udo-
ment-their opinion. This is all, nothing more.
He sums up:
1t is obvious thereupon that the report of
the COMMITTEE must come before the General
Conference at its next annual meeting. 1t
Will be competent for that-bedy to accept. re-
lect or amend the report as they in their wis
dom shall deem best.

The .5ufnel Case.

The celebrated Madame Jumel case, which
has SO often attracted the attention of the
Courts in New York, has lately been attract
ing much notice from the people of Saratoga,
where Madame Jumel was well known. An
argument was heard at Special Term by JUS
tice Bockes, of the Supreme Court, at his
Chambers at Saratoga Springs, ON Tuesday, in
the matter of three ejeetment suits brought to
recover 100000 worth of land belonging to
Madame Jumels estate in thai village. These
actions are brought by George w. Bowen, a
citizen OF Providence, r. l., many years a
merchant of that city, though now retired from
business, gentleman in comfortable circum-
stances of life, and now about sseyenty five
wears of age. Mr.. Bowen was horn in Charles
street, in the city of Providence, in the house
of a widow woman named Mrs. Freeloye Bal
lou, In 1874 His mother was a young SINGLE
woman named Betsey or Eliza Bowen. The
case stands chiefly upon the question whether
this Betsey or Eliza Bowen was the same Ter
son with betsey Bowen, also born in Provi-
dence, who afterwards became Madame Eliza
d. Jumel. On the part of Mr.. Bowen it is
aVerred that the the two were Identical; but

doned her Legitimate infant and left him

The law of the State of New York, passed in
1865 (and of which Mr.. Bowen was ignorant
until some time after Madame Jumeps death,
gives an ilegitimate child all the property OF
his mother, if there be no legitimate issue.
Madame Jumel died in 1866, leaving proper

finest estates on New York Island. Nelson
Chase, Esq. well-known and respectable
member of the New York bar, had married a
lady brought up by Madame Jumel, but who
is not claimed to be of her kin. Mrs. Chase
died before Madame Jumel's death, leaving two
children. There were also four persons named
Jones, who claimed to be Madame Jumels
nephews and neices. Mr.. Chase procured a
conveyance to himself from the Joneses of all
their claim and right to Madame Jumel's es-
tate, and entered into possession of it.
In reply to Mr.. Bowen's complaint, Mr..
Chase sets up this deed of the JOneses, and de-
MES that Mr.. Bowen's mother was Eliza B.
Jumel. He also set up claim that Madame
Jumel, in 1854, when his (Chase's, daughter
was married in France to Mr.. Pevy, a
Frenchman, promised to make Mrs Pevy heir

be then worth two millions. Mrs. Pevy hav-

BOSTON MUNICIPAL ELECTION.-The city
election in Boston yesterday was one of the
most animated and interesting that has oc-
CURED for number Of years, from the fact that
there were at least eight party and local COM
binations represented in the campaign. The
principal candidates for Mayor, however, were
Geo. y. Carpenter, Republican, and William
Castor, Democrat. The Labor Reformers put
Alonzo A. Knights in nomination, and N. d.
Gushing was the leader of the Prohibitionists.
Upon the two first-named candidates how.
ever, all the interests except the Labor Reform
and Prohibitionists centred. Mr.. Castor, in
addition to the support he received from the
Irregular" Democrats, was endorsed by Git
zens' Convention, which brought to him many
Republican votes. The whole Republican
press of the city united in opposing Mr.. Car
penter, on the ground that as an alderman for
the last few yeais he has been identified with
a corrupt and extravagaut combination known
as the "City Hall ring" and Mr.. Castor was
supported for the alleged reason that his rec
ord was without bemish, and that, although a
Democrat, he will guard the interests of the
oily with fidelity. For Aldermen, Councilmen
and Street Commissioners there were half a
dozen tickets in the field, and the struggle was
very fierce.
