TIE SCHOOLS IN LINCOLN CouNTY.-A con-
tributor who signs himself Dresden" speaks
of the visit of Supervisor Glidden to the
schools of Dresden as follows:
d. s. Glidden, ESQ.,, County Supervisor of
schools for Lincoln county, spent the week
ended SATURDAY., Dec. 18th, in the town of
Dresden. During the week be visited every
school in town, spending half a day in each;
lectured three evenings, and on Saturday held
a town institute all day, the teachers Of the
town and many others being present. Mr..
Glidden is diligent worker in the cause OF
education, and has a happy faculty of inter
lieve much good will result from his visit to
our town. -r
Mr.. Glidden himself gives brief summary
of his official acts in the same town:
December 14th, I found myself among the
schools of Dresden, where l was cordially met
and welcomed by the Supt. of School Commit
tee of that town who cheerfnlly rendered me
every facility in their power to aid me in my
work; going with me to the school room; one,
and frequently two of their number at the
same time; and with much earnestness en-
gagged in the work themselves, thereby adding
much to the interests of the occasions and de-
monstrating their own devotion to the cause
The committee understand pretty well the
ability of each teacher. They have endeavor-
ed to guard well their schools from imposi-
tious. Much of the school-work in most OF
our schools is imperfect and not productive OF
satisfactory results, for want of some standard
plan or method to give direction TO the work
of the teacher; hence teachers often work dill
gently but fail to accomplish as much as they
might, if they had more perfect plans or meth
ods of doing their work. The school houses of
Dresden average the best in the country.

Enhances of Maine-Report Of the State
Treasurer.

The report of Treasurer Caldwell shows,
as Governor Chamberlain has already an
nounced in his address, that the receipts of
the treasury during the last year have exceed
ed the expenditures by about $4,000, and
that there has been no occasion to raise the
sum authorized by the act of March 13, pro-
viding for temporary loan. This wholesom
and solvent condition of the finances is ex-
tremely gratifying. The estimated receipts
for the current year are 81 ,338, 500, and the
estimated expenditures 81 ,229, $40, showing
balance on the right side OF the ledger OF more
than 100000.
The resources of the State on the 1st day
OF January were cash S235,931, due on taxes
S1,071 ,563, bills receivable in land office 81
270, school fund $16,040-in all 81 ,330, ,70S.
The liabilities of the State were S9,882,081-
of which $S,100,900 belong to the public debt,
$l,691 ,2S4 are trust funds, $S3,772 are bal
arces due and uncalled for. and S6,127 due
fol. county taxes collected in 1898.
The amount due for what a country mem
Der called last winter, not altogether map
propriately, the "re-embarrassment of the
towns" is S3,0S4, 400, and is reckoned in the
public debt, since the bonds, though not Is
sued, are dated Oct. l, 1869. This item COM
petes the grand total of the war debt, which
for Maine amounts to $7,716900. The bal
ance OF the public debt OF 1861, still unpaid
is only S3S4090. The sinking fund provided
by the acts of Jan. 2S, 1865 and Feb. Is, 1896,
to meet the maturing war debt, now amounts
to $972530, mainly invested in bonds of the
State of Maine, and is already sufficient to
meet all engagements for the next four years.
The heavy payments fall due in 1889, when
$5,916,900 oil the debt natures.
The trust funds held by the State form an
interesting feature OF the treasurer's exhibit.
There are the school funds, derived from the
land agents sales, and amounting now to
S40S,S09; the Agricultural college has a fund
OF $104,695; Bales college has deposit of
Sl0 600; Madawaska Plantation has 5000,
and School District No. 2 of Madison, $1,000.
To these funds for educational purposes must
be added the Sanford legacy OF 81 300 for the
Reform School and the benefit of the blind,
deaf and dumb the Passamaquoddy and Pc
nobscot Indian funds, amounting to SS4,69S,
the deposit of the Union Mutual life insur-
anee company, and finally the sum OF $685..
100 due on soldiers, allotments, in sums of
ranging 81 to S400-this latter allotment be-
ing due to Thomas S. Hutching, OF Winthrop,
formerly OF Company E, Sth Maine regiment.
The payments during the past year on the
public dubt, including interest, and the sink
ing fund, amount to $427 562.

Hum ors Of the War.

1t is said that when John @. Brecklnridgs
and Humphrey Marshall met at Paris, Ken
lucky, recently, Mr.. Breckinridgc told the
following story of the war:
When General Pegram was preparing to
march his troops into Kentucky, Marshall,
who did not like poaching on his preserves,
Intellectually warned him not 10 come, and at
last sent word that any troops which at
tempted to enter Kentucky would have to
pass over his dead body. Pegram replied
his artillery, ''But if he found the obstacle in
his way, he would Immediately tunnel
through"
In similar vein of extravaganza, a South
ern General, on the march OF Lees army into
Maryland, called out TO a magnificent colonel
to "Take his moustache out OF the road, 30 a.
to let his brigade march by" l
