Mn. Ep1roR.-At tie meeting lately
held for the purpose of levying school
tax for this township, one of the school
Trustees made statements which are
not in accordance with the facts. The
gentleman in his speech conveyed the
idea TO the public, that all the salaries
due to teachers for the current year
1874, had been paid, which is not the
case. Those who received part pay
had to sell their claims at great sac
rifice, and the balance Of claims they
still hold.
The fact is, not half of the money
appropriated for school purposes has
been paid. There is no doubt, however,
as the gentleman stated, but that the
money was applied to back certificates.
(of which he was large holder,) and
nothing left to pay teachers, conse-
quently they (the teachers) will have
to hold their certificates until next
year, or sell them as efore at less
than half their face value.
1t has been stated, by responsible
party, tba. in order to collect claims,
(Which have been purchased at half
and less THAI half their real worth }
twety cents has to be allowed certain
parties to get them cashed. Hence, it
follows, that no one can get their
money direct from the Office.
One who was buying claims as agent
Tor another (for he had no money Of
bis own. boasted that he made 81 900
by the operation. Now if he made
that amount, doubtless his principal
made twice ms much.
Some of these claims. no doubt, are
p@rehascd with money from the Treas.

MIR. EDIToR.-The annual exami
nation and exhibition at Haigler's
Academy, under the supervision Of Mr.
Hugo g. Sheridan, took place June the
30th and july 1st inst. The first day
was devoted entirely to examining the
pupils. Mr.. Sheridan conducted the
examination aud although the children
were rigidly and extensively examined,
yet they acquitted themselves with
much redit,showing they had master
to instruct them. Mr.. Sheridan q style
of teaching is different from any Ihave
ever seen. It is objective and illus.
trative. The child is obliged totiear,l
under his sSstem Of instruction. The
citizens Of st. Mathews are fortunate
in having such school located itstheir
-,,aidaf ni,ldi s.st
teachers all over our land. .1s
The second day was devoted to dec.
lamatio'. The morning was ushcred
in pleasantly and beautifully, dndat
All early hour the people began to
gather from every quarter. BY len
O'Clock rome three or four hundred
ladies and gentlemen had COLLECTED TO
witness the exercises. Just as the ex-
hibition was about to begin, the assem-
b!age was thrown into confusion, by
the falling Of n part of the temporary
brush shed, erected for the occasion.
Only one accident occurred, an old
lady, Mrs. Snider, received severe
bruise upon her head from falling
timber. Order was soon restored and
the performances of the day began by
Masters 7 McCants and H Jenkins,
acting the 'Englishman and Innkeeper'
81 am the gentleman" came next Mas.
ters G Holman. E Williams, r Smith,
T Collier and W MILESTONE, were the
actors. "a good thrashing" was acted
by Masters Hugo Sheridan, A Sum-
mezs and e Zimmerman. The exhi-
bition was now varied by speeches
from Masters . Dantzler, G Summers
G Collier and E Zimmerman. The
nextwas court scene, "The intelligent
witneas" by Master T Collier lawyer
and Master r Smith witness. This was
we'll rendered and produced burst of
laughter. A shower of rain, at this
stage Of the proceedings, caused the
exercises to be temporarily suspended.
The rain over. The Street boy" by
Master g Collier was ushered in which
produced quite sensation upon the
assembly on account of his ludicrous
dress. He performed his part we'll.
The other actors in this farcicel piece
were Misses Maggie Parlor. Fanny
Felkel. Ephemis Tompson, Mollie
Smith and MATTERS T McCants, A
summers,J Fielder and Huge Sheridan.
"The Artist" by Masters w Whetatone
Misses Mary jenkins and simmie
Bair. Speeches, by j MILESTONE, j
Fielder. 7 Jourdian and A Summers
were next in order. The laughable
dialogue. "The Census taker" was
acted by Masters j Gilmore, T Haig-
Ter, Misses Mary Collier aud Simmie
Bair. Miss Bair deserves special no.
tice for excellent performance. "The
Master piece" was acted by Masters
Z Williatns. 7 Fielder, G Holman and
Miss Mary jenkins. We note with
pleasure the ihimitable performance Of
Master Tommy FelieP as tl,e.'mgger.'

Mr.. Editor is, through its honest forms
and priciples, a democratic paper. Its
columns are not always bowed beneath
the deluaiye and shocking influence,

I delight Mr. Editor to see the young

their incompetency.

Current Notes.

The Springfield Republican, an excellent
newspaper, but hard to please-says the
Presidents message is satisfactory. Con-
cerning his remarks upon the race troubles in
the South, that paper says: "The tone and
temper of this part Of the message are simp-
ly admirable; the white people of the South
ern states, in particular, cannot give these
suggestive and weigLty sentences a too se-
rious and candid consideration"
Concerning the Democratic future Sunset
Cox says that schemes enough are in process
of incubation to knock the "party higher
than Tom Wilkenson's kite.'. His hope is in
the newspapers.
The latest news from the Geneva award is
an announcement that the war-premium
claimants and the interested insurance com.
panies have come to an amicable understand
ing. The latter are to take what is left Of the
award, and then to divide pro rata with the
claimants. Important, il true.
The Presidents expressions relative to
Cuba, leads many to infer that he is in SYM
pathy with the insurgents.
Inc press Seneraiiy SPEAK III teruis vi ap
provai of the Presidents message. This re-
mark is not confined to journals OF the Re-
publican faith, but even the Tribune and
World think it is the best of the six annual
messages he has laid before Congress. The
World attributes it to the recent Democratic
victories!
The Western Union Telegraph never did
the Maine press better service than in the
transmission of the Presidents message,
although Gen. Belknap may have some
ground for complaint, because the
President was made to say by our dispatches
that the recommendations of the Secretary
of War are refused, because i1judcious, when
His Excellency did say that he regarded them
as judicious.

The captain of the American fishing schoon-

states that on the Grand Banks, on the 23d of
November, his vessel was riding at anchor with
$50 fathoms of cable out, when it was suddenly
discovered that the schooner was moving
through the water at the rate of ten or twelve
knots an hour. Shortly after an immense
whale rose inst ahead of the vessel, with the
anchor caught either in his jaw or blowhole.
After the vessel had been towed for an hour by
the fish, and finding that the dores were al
ready out of sight, the captain cut the cable

SOME of our friends in the Eastern part of
the state may query within themselves why
the PRESS pays so little attention to the
abuse which has been poured in such m.
stin.ed measure upon il, and all connected
with it, by the Bangor Wing. When ones
utterances are deliberately misrepresented, his
motives falsely aspersed and an attempt is
made to break him down by a systematic
series of lies, there is of course temptation
to reply seriatim and correct the misrepre-
sentatiens as fast as made ;but in this case the
attacks are made with the set purpose of de
verting public attention from the senatorial
question to paltry personal wrangles and to
obscure great public question by throwing
mud. We are not to be tempted from our
purpose by any such device. Nor could
answers be made TO every silly fabrication in
vented by the Wing without taking up about
all ones attention, and we have something
else to dove cannot afford much time or
space to such fot.Iishness. Nor would Il be
possible for us to answer much Of the stuff at
all. A gentleman, overwhelmed on the
street by the vituperations of blackguard,
does not care to handy words Of like charac.
ter and, if he should try would be ignomini-
ously defeated. The good Lyman Beecher,
walking in the fields with large volume

odorous little animals familiar in rural life

book at the creature. The result was dis

The cause Of the riot and bloodshed at
Vicksburg is not very well understood. Sem
ator Alcorn says that is occasioned by the
Democrats desiring to get possession OF csr-
tain county offices before the meeting of the
Legislature in January. They made the
loss of an indictment against county clerk
in the sherifFs possession pretext for de.
manding the resignation of the latter officer.
He is colored man and may not be a first
class officer This demand was backed by
an excited gathering of 5000 men, and it is
claimed by them that the sheriff rendered his
resignation to save his life-but he
denies having done SO. Since that time he
has attempted to regain his position, but has
found his opponents in the way. The neg
roes came from the country to sustain him.
He says he did not call them as is charged
against him. . ..-...
