Our Western exchanges are filed with ac-
counts of the great storm of last week. 1t
seems to have begun ten or twelve DAYS ago
west of the Rocky Mountains, and reached
Illinois on Thursday Of last week. 1t was
severe on the plains and in the mountains
though it does not appear to have materially
imreded travel on the Union Pacific Railroad
or done very much damage in Iowa. Snow
drifted largely on the Kansas Pacific road,
and also to some sxtent on those of northern
Missouri. The storm was of almost unex-
ampled severity in northern Indiana and Illi-
nois and southern Wisconsin. At some points
it began Thursday evening, and at others not
till Friday morning; but everywhere it is re-
ported as continuing from forty to fifty hours.
1t was of rain, snow and sleet, and accompa-
MED by strong and fierce wind. Trees were
broken down, house-roofs crushed in, roads
blocked up, telegraph wires swept away, busi-
ness necessarily suspended, and all classes OF
population confined to their residences. No
estimate can be reached of the actual dam
age done by destruction of property, but all
accounts agree in reporting it very great. The
storm ended at Chicago on Sunday, and there
are no reports of its appearance since then at
points east of Indiana. The railroads have
again been opened and the telegraph lines re-
paired, while business is resumed, and in sew
eral cities measures are being taken to relieve
the suffering which such storms invariably
produce.

Board OF Education,

Thursday, 9 1-2 A. NJ. Met according to
adjournment. johnson, Pike and Stetson
appointed as committee of arrangements for
next annual session. Webb of Cumberland
presented the subject of Primary Instruction.
Teachers are sadly deficient in a knowledge
of the human mind and development ofmental
faculties, consequently the culture of of our
younger children is extremely crude. Proper
methods are not adopted, the child's time is
wasted, his faculties are not stimulated to
healthy action, and thus society fails to add
to its forces the full developed individual.
Primary teaching demands the highest skill
and patience. Primary teachers deserve the
highest remuneration.
Glidden of Lincoln presented paper on
Equalization of educational means. Cities
and villages have great advantage over
country districts. This ought not to be.
The State should educate every child equally,
should provide equal facilities for all, and re-
move the present obstacles of uneven distri-
button of school money and teaching forces
and the abolition of the district system.
Thursday afternoon. The subject of equal
ization of educational means further con-
sidered in general discussion, by Lane Of
Waldo, Knowlton of Piscataquis, Stetson OF
Androscoggn, Dixie of Sagadahoc, True OF
| Oxford and Savary of Hancock. The general
conclusion was that the entire control of the
schools should be left in the hands of the
towns, and the money so divided, and the
teaching forces so distributed by town officers
as to afford equal educational facilities to all
youth.
Thursday evening the Board attended the
| informal public hearing before the Com
mittee on education on the present teacher

The new cattle disease is spreading alarm
in every direction. 1t has SO affected the
marketing of milk in the large cities that deal.
ers in milk find their orders rapidly decreas-
ing, while ow ners sf cattle whose business it
is to prepare them for the shambles realize a
depression in their business. The disease has
not yet appeared in this State, and should it
show itself the judicious precautions recon-
mended in the circular ofthe commissioners on
the subject will have tendency to check and
perhaps entirely stop its progress. We no.
tice that for some time III this city, the hides of
cattle, brought from distance, have been ex-
posed for several days at time. In the pres
ent state of affairs this should not be allowed
and we simply call the attention of the proper
Authorities to the matter. This new disease
has already been described in our columns,
but it may be well to remind our readers again
of its character. 1t is an eruption, which first
appears in the mouth; and the cattle afflicted
eat with difficulty or not at all. In the second
stage, it breaks out between the claws of the
feet, and then, in cows, tits sure soon to strike
'iie uuuei, "hen IL Is cohsiaereu iatai. IN
other animals it does not directly destroy life,
but it is very obstinate even under the best
treatment, and after the eruption is gone, the
recovery is slow.
The poison is readily communicated by
contact with diseased animal, or with any
of its saliva or of the skin, which peels off the
mouth and falls in flakes in the STALL But
the soil of the yards in which the cattle stand
is poisoned by their feet to considerable
depth, and healthy animals which pass through
these yards are liable to contract the disease.
Even the clothes or hands of person who
has been near the sick animal will carry the
infection to Others

A correspondent up river Is reminded bv a

A correspondent up river Is reminded by
tough goose story published in our paper, of
a little incident connected with one of the first
settlers in the northern part of our State.
LAS the goose story came from New Hamp-
shire, says our correspondent, 81 thought
perhaps Maine would not like to be behind in
her record of adventures. Accordingly l
take the liberty to relate to you the affair as
| heard it when small boy. l was informed
by one of our oldest inhabitants that in the
early settlement of onr country two men were
travelling on foot through the town of Show
hogan and in close proximity to piece of
dense woods, when to their surprise and hor-
ror they saw q monstrous black bear coming
directly towards them, evidently very hungry
from the manner in which he showed his long
white teeth The men determined to show
their courage towards the bear, hoping by so
doing to induce him TO turn from them, press ed
firmly onward expecting every step they took
that they should see him retreat, but to their
surprise old bruin made no retreat but pressed
forward as determined to show fair front as
they, and both parties kept their onward
movement until within about four feet of each
other, when the bear suddenly reared upon
his hind parts and for moment looked his
victim steadily in the face and then made a
desperate spring towards one of the men, and
with his paws tore the entire contents of the
man out, and made his way with it to the
woods. As the man THAT was not injured by
the bear stood looking with wild confusion at
the mangled body of his unfortunate compan-
ion, and trying to decide what to do, he was
reminded of hearing the following recon-
mended in such cases If persons in this sit
uation could have the insides of sheep put
into them when warm, that sometimes they
would recover. And as good luck would have
it, in looking around he saw in little clear
ing near by him flock of sheep. He imme-
diately went to the flock and caught one and
opened it and took the insdes from it and
carefully placed them in the body of the man
and Immediately closed the body, and by the
assistance of a traveller who fortunately hap
ried him to the nearest house where the body
was sewed up and every attention given that
was possible in the absence of physician
and in few days the man was able to sit up
and continued to gain very rapidly, so much
so that he was able to be taken home to his
family. Itwas reported that the man enjoyed
good health for number of years, but ever
after had great hankering tor grass"
