education unknown in our public schools, yet
it seems to me of such transccndent impor

server Of children indeed every teacher, must
have noticed that the manifestations Of cruel
disposition crops out very early. It begins
with pulling off the wings Of flies and teasing
the lower animals. It impels the young un-

he hears the lone bird singing on a twig. or

philosophical)y, or with anything like psy-
Geological accuracy. how it is that children so
often act with cruelty to the world Of life
around them. The poor crushed fly, the
wrctched pelted kitten. the tortured toad with
stomach filed with shot, the poor turtle either
it burning coal, all rise familiarly enough
to our memories as instances of this cruel
unthinkng wantonncss, this early and miser

Now, few things can be taught more easily.

is a recent off-shoot of the Waldo county, and
is rapidly taking leading position in matters

principle that in union there is strength.
We have severallive, working Farmers Clubs

the show was creditable, even for many

We are much interested in the question of

Will they extend to Bath and connect with
the Knox and Lincoln? If so, then the assur-
ance is good that the road from Rockland to

TIE PARTIES TO THE LYNN TRAG-
EDY

a correspondent, at Washington, in this
State, gives us the following of the personnel
of the parties who lost their lives in the sad
tragedy at Lynn.
William Vanner was native of Washing
ton, about thirty years of age, who has for
twenty years been desperate, reckless char
acter, causing all to fear him as they would
a mad dog. He was married to a Miss How
land of Warren some twelve years ago, but
they have not lived together for eight years,
nor was divorce decreed between them.
The Howland-Vanner woman is still living.
Mrs. Malinda Jones, who lost her life by
Vanner, was also native of Washington,
about forty years of age, and at her death was
the lawful wife of Thomas c. Jones, formerly
of Washington but now livi G in California.
They also were never divorced.
Mrs. Jones was the oldest daughter OF Will
liam S. Luce of Washington, most respecta-
bic and highly honored citizen, who with his
wife, most estimable lady, have labored hard
and diligently and unwearyingly to induce
their daughter to forsake Vanner, but of no
avail. For time Mrs. Jones would live sep
arate and apart from Warmer, then after lit
tie, the two would be together again, against
the solemn warnings and protestation of all.
Mrs. Jones leaves a husband and five children,
father, mother, two sisters and three brothers,
all of character, and all tried to prevent the
alliance with Vanner.
There is now an Indictment hanging over
Vanner in Knox county for assault with in
tent to kill this same Mrs. Jones and her
mother, but he had avoided an arrest, officers
could not find him. Vanner stands condemn
cd of burning barn and cooper shop as re-
venge to the owners. The first was done by
his Rowland wife under threats of her life if
she did not do so.
