STATE APPOINTMENTS.

The re-appointment of Hon. Warren
johnson Superintendent of Common
Schools is an act of justice to him in con-
sideration of his past faithful service, and
one which will give satisfaction to the ac-
tive friends of education in the State. He
has been diligent, hard worker for the
schools, endeavoring to give them better
teachers, supervision, and more money,
time and efficiency. He found the school
system of the State very deficient and set
to work to improve it. His plan is not
vet perfected but he has made good pro-
gress. The establishment of county SUI
pervisors makes the organization complete.
| Without them there was an important
break in the system, destroying the con-
nection and responsibility of the parts and
rendering the duties Of the Supernten-
dent nearly worthless. By his Teachers
Institutes and the valuable aid of the Nor
NAL Schools the character of our teachers
has been elevated, and in consequence
there is a general improvement in the
schools There has also been much done
by Teachers Meetings, Institutes, and the
operation of the County Supervisorsnp
to awaken and interest the people in the
schools. Better schoolhousees are built.
more money raised, and better scholars
is the result. OF course there are some
failures in schools but the average shows
Neither is everybody pleas
ed with the changes introduced, but the
weight of testimony is in their favor.
They have created some expense for the
State, but the signs are that they will pay
handsomely As the fruits begin to ap-
pear. opposition will cease. We are glad
that Mr.. johnson is continued in his posi-
ton to carry forward his work. 1t win
go on now without interruption and we
trust with the best results. Since the
searching examination of the last Legisla-
ture into the merits of his labors and
plans, they have little to fear in the future.
Another worthy appointment by Govern
or Perham is that of j. T. Woodward rs
State Librarian. Having served one
term he has become thoroughly familiar
with all the duties of his place, which he
has discharged in the most acceptable
manner. Affable and gentlemanly, ready
in knowledge and prompt to attend to
business, he is apt, faithful and efficient
in his place. The Library OF the State
will be we'll cared for by him, and the pub
lie will have a courteous and competent
officer.
In the appointment of Trustees for the
Bath Orphan Asylum the Governor has
been fortunate. All are gentlemen Of
character who have the interests of the
institution at heart. So in the appoint
ment of the Board of Commissioners re-
lating to the Industrial School for girls,
the selections are such us will commend
themselves to the people of the State.

appears was innocent Of the crime, was tried
convicted and hung for it. At last a stranger
strayed into the neighborhood of Margarets
home, man of education, of broad and lib
eral christian sentiments, and with him she
accidentally met and formed acquaintance
The SEQUEL of course was love and marriage;
and as a consequence a great transformation
in Margaret and the regeneration of the fam
lily and community with which she was con-
nected
We mention thus hastily some Of the prin-
cipal incidents of the narration in Mr.. Judd's
work Let us add that it is full of descriptive
wealth of field ard wood and human charac-
ter. No flower or shrub pertaining to New
England seems to have escaped his notice.
The reader would almost be led to believe
from the lavish manner in which he uses his
knowledge that his object was to show it. In
making fox climb tree he commits blum
der, but in all the little details of early life in
New England the volume is remarkably exact
and full. His characters are studies. They
are as sharply drawn as those in Dickens
pages. The work would be valuable simply
as a record of old times But it is scholarly,
rich in imagination, and Astounding in deepest
thought. The grand idea is 10 expose the de-
eeption and holowness of self-assnmed sane
tity, to hold up some of the vices of society
for reprobaton, and to show how an intelli-
gent child rudely brought up felt and under
stood the shams around her, and only came
to appreciate the Bible and religion when they
we're unfolded to her by the teachings of one
who was honest and able to explain the differ
ence between the real and the false. In spite
of some faults which it has, Margaret is one
of the best works which New England has
produced. 1t creates thought and its prompt
ings are upward. After the lapse of years its
publication ia again called for and Its readers
increase as its merits become better known.

A QUEER WILL. DIR. Sylvanus Brown of
Derry, n III. , who was killed last summer
by being thrown from his carriage, was very
eccentric man and left in his will the interest
on the bulk of his property, amounting to o.
yer fifty thousand dollars, to his son and his
children during their lives and to his grand
children afterwards, giving them no hold on
the principal. The son is trying to break the
will on the ground Of the testator's insanity,
and it would seem might make out case
from the document itself The old man gives
his body to the town of Derry, to be buried by
his friends without expense to the town in the
soil of its common, in an''ungilt, implanted,
unvarnished, plain, chesnut coffin" He de-
sires the body of his wife, Mary, TO be ex-
humed and placed at his left side in the same
grave ''to be dug by a compass in an exact
east and west line near the geographical cen
ter of the lot, "and that ono work OF art or
monumental structure of mans device may
ever be placed upon it," He sets apart a
fund to accumulate till the fall of l9iS, and
then to be drawn and invested in good native

JOKE on Rev. DIR. BUSHNELL A few days
ago two Young men went from Massachusetts,
to Hartford to make visit. They were ex-
celent in every way, and carried little relg-
ious cards in their pockets, with suitable mot
toes, in order to SOW seed by the wayslde
They were very anxious to see DR.. Bushnell,
and vet did not feel bold enough to call on
the great man. The relative whom they
were visiting was engaged in one ofthe banks,
and told them that the doctor was in the hah-
it of dropping in there pretty often; and that
in fact he must come in soon, As there was
some money awaiting him. One morning
while the two were in the bank, thinking
that perhaps the doctor might happen in, an
elderly man with felt hat, put on rather
slouchily, grayish black suit, a Zig oak
walk ing stick, and the air of a well TODD and
bluff. outspoken farmer, came in as though
he belonged there, and received thick roll of
greenbacks from the cashier. They had that
vile smell which money much handled gets,
and the old gentleman (it was DR.. BushnelD
began in his sharp way to jerk out something
about this filthy currency" and to stigma
tie it with terms good deal more forcible
than elegant. The young men looked at the
elderly one with good deal of commisera-
ton, and overhauling their religious cards,
picked out one. and approaching him put it
into his hand. Ii contained the words Are
your thoughts pure" What the doctor
thought can hardly be imagined, but we can
conjecture what the young men thought when
their friend came out from behind the counter,
unconscious of what had passed. and intro
duced them to Rev. DIR. Bushnell, of whose
piety they had heard so much, and whom
they so greatly desired to see. History
drops the veil or the scene at just this point.
