THE.M1INE REPTBLIC4N.S.

IL is somewhat of a relief to turn from the
shutting platforms of the two parties which
have held conventions in Illinois and Indiana
to that OF the Maine republicans Who held their
convention last Thursday in Augusta. They
resolved that the party should not be content
to 60 before the country forever upon the old
declarations OF principles, but 'should move
forward to meet new issues as they arise"
and that sit is high and plain duty to return
to specie basis at the earliest practicable day,
not only in compliance with legislative and
party pledges, but rs step indispensable to
lasting, material prosperity; and they com.
mended the President for vetong the imitation
bill, and encouraged their members of Com
gress in their earnest and effectual oppose
to jotbery, extravaganza and corruption.
These are good sentiments, and the party
that lives up to them deserves success and
may hope Tor it, 1t is true that party plat
forms for the last few years have apparently
been built with pitfalls for unwary voters ;
but if there is a fraction of party anywhere
which is free from the prevalent taint of W hich
the country complains, the main body of the
Republicans in Maine may lay good claim to
the honor. Their governme mt of the state has
been frugal and efficient; their representatives
in Washington have generally aided literally
in the promotion of reform legislation; and
the local offices filled by federal appointment
have been faithfully administered. Therefore
we may infer that their platform means more
than we often fad in sueh declarations. We
wish that the Republican party might once
more become national and CONSTANT, by
making the sentiments of the Maine platform
the test by which to stand or fall, N. Y
Ereaing Post.

Life Without Enjoyment.

disordered can enjoy life. Business is n fatigue

disturbances OF the bowels and the nerves which
always accompany them. The shortest, surest,
safest way to get rid of these evils, and of the

TO tone and regulate the system with IIostetter's

Grammar School Examination.

The examination of the grammar school
in this city, yesterday afternoon, was fitting
close to the successful and most satisfactory
exercises of the kind that have been held
in the village district during the past week.
The floral adornments and decorations of the
room with flags and evergreen were beauti-
full ard elaborate. The exercises continued
all day, and consisted of critical examination
of the first class in the various studies pursued
the four years ofthe course, such as grammar,
geography, arithmetic, reading, etc., inter-
spersed with singing, recitations and address
es from the Directors, the full board being
present. The class that goes out from the
school, consists of sc young ladies and gen.
tlsmen and is class Of which any teacher
may be proud. Mr.. Robertson, the able
Principal and his faithful assistants need no
commentator from ms their work speaks
for them. There were few dry eyes in the
assembly yesterday, at the parting hour,
when the associations of four years were sun
dered. God bless teachers and scholars! A
beautiful and suggestive group of Rogers
statuary, representing the "Teacher and his
favorite pupil" was presented to Mr.. Rob-
eftson by the retiring class. The presenta-
ton remarks were made by Miss Lottie Nor
rill.

Cross, son of Aaron Cross, Esq, of Bethel,
who had been an inmate of the Insane Hos =
pital since January 10, 1867, strayed away
from that institution. He was regarded as
harmless person, was frequently employed to
labor on the farm, and on that account was
allowed considerable liberty. On the day
following his escape, he was recognized at
Topsham station, by DR.. Lapham of this city.
who was well acquainted with him before he
was committed to the hospital and after
wards. The train only hauled up at Top
sham and did not stop, SO that DR.. Lapham,
who was going to Boston, did not have q
chance to speak with him; and though his
escape was advertised in several papers, and

FERENCE.


Wednesday forenoon, at the conference in
Newcastle, was entirely occupied as the ami
versary of the Maine Missionary Society, a
charitable association design to furnish the
gospel and the preacher to destitute pac-
es in this State.
Rev. W. NJ. Barbour delivered discourse
from Matt. tx 35-Subject, Christ as
Preacher.
Prof. Barbour, with his mingled Scotch
American fervor and acuteness, gave a model
sermon, admirable in letter and spirit. He
commended the village pastor as the one near
est to Christ in his surroundings and oppor-
tuntias. The best sermon he had heard
for five years was from a missionary. Allu-
sions to ministers seeking fields Of labor in
large towns and among wealthy congregations
were not remarkably complimentary.
Secretary Thurston reported so churches
aided 100 missionaries, u of them students for
vacation and 80 for year each. The receipts
are SIS, 5s2, including 81, $50 balance at the
beginning of the year. But for other income a
deficit of SO 900 would be suffered.
Gov. Dngley then made an eloquent speech
on the productiveness of Maine, not only in
material but moral resources. nourished by
such bodies as this. He was warmly applaud
ed.
In the afternoon, the conditions and. claims
of Bowdoin College, the Classical School at
