Grand Lodge of Maine, 1. o. of g. T.

The fifteenth semi-annual session of the
Grand Lodge Of Maine, Independent Order
of Good Tenplars, was held in Bangor yes
terday afternoon. The report of the Grand
Worthy Chief Templar, Rev. David Boyd,
was read, and from an advance copy which
has been kindly furnished US, we gather the
following facts; Mr.. Boyd says that the
cardinal principles Of the Order are total
abstinence for the individual and prohibition
for the State, and there must be no letting
down in these principles which the experience
of a quarter of century has proved essential
to any real progress in the work. eternal
vigilance" too, is the price of success in this
as well as in other things. Other organiza-
tons are alive and in active operation, and
the Order must be also active and awake. The
policy of the Order should be to cultivate
friendly and fraternal relations with all tenn
perance societies, but the interests of the
Order should be specially guarded and cher
ished. The cry for help comes up from the
subordinate lodges in all parts of the juris-
diction, and it will require wisdom to respond
to these demands. Several of these lodges
are in good condition and doing noble work !;
libraries are provided and other attractions.
he accommodation is made that State Lee
turer shall be employed without delay, who

The Order Of Cold Water Temples, under
the fostering care of the Good Templars, has
made encouraging progress. A vigilant over
sight,an the right kind of superintendent is
earnestly recommended. Rev. O. NJ. Cous-
sens, the General Superintendent of the Cold
Water Temples, reports the organization of
81 Temples in the State, with membership
of about ten thousand. They are general,
in good condition, but the Superintendent
thinks it expedient that mans whole time
be given to the supervisor of the work, and
in this expression he ls joined by Mr.. Boyd
The latter closes his report by strongly urging
the enforcement Of the proliibitory law in
conjunction with the good work Of the Re-

TRIUMPH FOR TWENTY YEARS. More than
twenty years ago the Mustang Linament made
its debut in the West. Its cures of the va.
rous external diseases of horses and cattle,
astonished the planters and farmers of the
Mississippi and Ohio Valleys, and demand
for it sprung up which necessitated its manu-
tacture on an extensive scale. Soon the dis
covery was made that it was a grand specific
for rheumatism, govt, neuralgia, earache,
toothache, and other external ailments of
mankind. Then 1t was tried as healing,
pain killing application, in cases of outward
injury, such as cuts, bruises, burns, spasms,
&c, and was found equally strviceable. The
fame of the new remedy for some of the most
painful ills that afflct mankind and the lower
animals, spread rapidly, and Mustang Lima
ment soon took rank in every State and Ter
ritory of the Union as standard cure.

Teachers Institute.

The morning session yesterday opened with
few Introductory remarks by Supt. johnson,
detailing the objects and working plans of the
Institute. Prof Tcnney was then introduced
to the teachers Of the county assembled and
after conducting the morning exercises pro-
cceded at once to the regular work Of the In
stitute in a very sensible lecture upon the
elements of correct teaching. The teacher
must understand the nature of the human be-
ing placed in his care, the double compost
ton of body and mind. The order of nature
is from the gross to the refined, from the ply.
steal to the spiritual, from sensation to per-
ception and abstraction. Hence the teacher
should appeal first to the senses Of the child,
then awaken the pcrceptive faculties, call into
attendant action the retentiye fac ulties and
exercise the reflective faculties last of all

A visit to the livery stables of this city to-

ease to he rather favorable than otherwise.
Although nearly every animal is affected to
greater or less degree, there are as yet no IA
tai cases, and but few very serious. Some
which have been supposed to be past recovery
are now doing well. Mr.. Shaw of the Ban
gor House has had most of his coach horses
sick, but all are much better and able to be
worked a little every day. He attributes his
success to the free use Of Johnson's Anodyne
Liniment, which has been one of the principal
remedies administered here. Mr.. Hartman
of the Hartman House speaks highly of its
effects in his stables. None of his horses
have been fit to be out. The remedy recon-
mended for the treatment Of the malady has
been tried BY different horse owners. And
feeling of relief seems to prevail all that the
disease has not assumed more malignant
form. Most owners of horses keep them up,
as a matter Of precaution, and in consequence
it is difficult to get goods delivered through
out the city. The clear, cold weather is very
favorable to the recovery of the animals.
Mules as we'll as horses have the disease, and
one of the worst cases is that of a mule be-
