to the surface smoothness and a gloss like
that of polished marble. Instead of clogging
the pores, like the sticky enamels, or con-
tracing them, and thus obstructing prespira-
ton, like the astringent cosmetics, it cleanses
the skin from all impurities and wonderfully
improves its texture. This peculiarly is
particularly appreciated by our rural bellies,

speedily removed from their faces, hands and

The North Star thus notices the close of

The North Star thus notices the close of
the High School at Fort Fairfield -
The examination of the Fort Fairfield
High School took place last Thursday and
siiay and was in every way credtable to Miss
Hattie Ring, the principal, and to \. Fessen-
den, Esq, the instructor in Latin and Elocu-
ton. This school has been a success now
for several years, formerly under the care of
Miss Matte c. Call, and la,tery under the
charge of Miss Ring. This school has had
no aid from the State like many other schools,
and yet in the amount of good it has done
during the last five years, its equal is not to
be found in Aroostook CO., in our opinion.
The existence of this school, term after
term sending its scores OF teachers to the
towns in upper Aroostook, is not due to the
fostering care Of the State, but to the enter
prise, persevering energy and liberal contri-
buttons of the citizens OF Fort Fairfield, and
Of Jesse Drew. Esq. much more than Of any
others.
Friday afternoon were the closing exercises
OF the school which consisted of singing by
the pupils, an essay by Rev. w. II. Wash
burn, Declarations by the young men and
readings and recitations by the young ladies.
The subject of Mr.. Washburn's brief essay
was "Politeness,' and it was thoroughly
practical, well received and will do good.
The declarations and readings were good;
some OF them showing talent and taste of
high order. The influence of this term OF
school will long be felt for good. 1t is hoped
that Miss Ring will again return to this vii
lage as an instructor. We are sure she can
not find in the State a more interesting and
hopeful class of young people than those
under her care this spring.

THE MARROW GUAGERs.-The par.
ty of citizens who left Lancaster on
Thursday last to view the operation
and exapino the construction of the
Eastern Iowa r. R., lately built
from McGregor to Elkader, returned
on Friday highly gratifed and pleas
ed with their visit and the narrow
guage system of railroads. Through
the courtesy of the President, Judge
Williams, a special train was placed
at the disposal of the party which
was joined by numser of railroad
officials and citizens Of McGregor.-
In order that intelligent conclusions
might be arrived at in regard to this
new system of railroads, careful ex-
animation was made of the cost and
construction of the engines, cars, de-
pots, bridges and road itself The
train was put at high and slow speed
over the most difficult grades, stop
ping at curves, deep cuts, bridges, etc,
to examine the same. The viewers,
we learn, were convinced of the co m
parative chespness 10 both the con-
struction and operation of the mar
row guago over broader guage lines,
aad judge that road of this kind
can be built complete, aud equipped,
through this county at cost not ex-
eeeding $500 per mile, which
would be about two-fifths less than
the usual cost of broad gusge roads.
