CAsTINE, Der. 10, 1874.
Not often are people found so generous TO-
wards the interests of education as the good
people of Seaasport showed themselves to be
last week. With the Waldo Co. Institute upon
their hands, they opened their homes and hearts
to receive and bountifully entertain one hun
dred pupils and teachers from the Eastern Nor
nal School, The beautiful town, commodious
Hall, pleasant homes and excellent instruction
which we enjoyed through the hospitality of the
citizens of Searsport will long be remembered
by those who came across the Bay to have Il
pleasant and profitable time with the friends of
education. Such kindness manifested to those
who are striving to become efficient teachers
will prove to be seed in good soil, the harvest
of which will be gathered in tme-a portion
garneredby those who were so kind to the Nor
NAL students and teachers from Castine. F.
