of lectures in this city. His success in Port
land has been immense. We copy the fol-
lowing from the Press, which explains itself
1.-The private lecture to gentlemen last eve
ming at Congress Hall was attended by a
crowded audience. 1t was fine effort, show
ing the nobility of married life in its most ex-
allied and worthy state. The instructions
given were sound and able in character, and
should be needed by every living being If
they were so needed, then mankind would be
happy and ennobled indeed. DR.. Hebbard
expressed his regret at saying farewell,
after the several weeks of pleasant relations
with the citizens Of Portland, and he ex-
tended his best wishes for their welfare. He
also thanked the press of the city for their
generous attentions. meeting of those
present was organized and the following
series of resolutions were unanimously sdopt-
ed, requesting DR.. Hebbard to repeat his
first course of lectures:

of DIR. Hebbard as an eloquent, able and
worthy lecturer, scientific and proficient

Brooklyn and other cities, also extending our
thanks to him for enabling us to better and
more fully comprehend the laws of life,
health and character, and especially giving
the young such noble ideas of living
Rsolred, That we hereby call the special
attention of this community to these lectures
and their worthy influence, and also we re.
spectfully request DIR. Hebbard to repeat his
first course, thereby enabling those who have
not attended said lectures to do so, and also
allowing those who have attended to review
the instruction already given. .eF
Resolved, That the attention of parents be
also called to these valuable lessons impaired,
giving the youth of the community most ex-
cellent opportunity to learn how to live right
ly in the days Of their early experience and

There is likely to be quite a skirmish in the
legislature on the question Of amending the
school laws, particularly in regard to the Sec
ton giving the power Of employing teachers
to the school committees. A large number of
petitions were sent in asking for its repeal,
also quite number in favor of retaining it,
and the Committee on Education after full
and fair hearing Of the interested parties, re-
ported bill met Senate last Saturday,
which leaves it with the towns to vote at their
annual meetings whether or not they will au-
thorize the district agents in their towns to
employ the teachers as heretofore. But it
seems the opponents of the present school
laws are not satisfied, and yesterday in the
Senate the vote of Saturday was reconsidered
and the bill reported by the Committee laid
on the table in order that the minority may
bring in a report. Exactly what his report
may be is not known. Luckily for the cause
of education in Maine this legislature is most
ly made up of men who are not welded to old
fogyism but are alive to and in favor of prog
ress and whatever legislation is necessary to
place our common schools more nearly on
par with those of other States. The law of
last winter has not yet been in operation long
enough to be thoroughly tested yet there is
reason to believe the legislature may think it
best to amend it as suggested by the bill re-
ported by the committee, thus giving those
towns who wish the right to authorize their
district agents to employ the teachers, but it
will not agree to see those laws swept away
in toto, and thus backward step be taken
which it would perhaps require years to re-
trieve.
