Mr.. Miller Is himself practical mechan-

Bile that the school committee selected the

Boston Is not alone in this. More than

The call to which the Journal aludes is sign
ed 10y citizens of prominence and worth in va
rlous parts of the State, and it VIII be hailed
with pleasure 10y many as an evidence OF the re-
awakening of public sentiment IN favor OF the

must reinforce the laws, and at time when
the West is the scene of an unprecedented revo-
luton against the traffic in liquors. it is proper
that Maine. the banner State of the Temper
ance cause, should arouse to new zeal IN the
good work in behalf of humanity.
1t may be doubtful whether the methods
which have worked such wonders among the
fervid population OF. the Western States, would
be adapted to our own localities ;but there can be
nolquestion as to the powerful effect of an organ
lied effort to bring the religious influences Of
