FRYEBURG ACADEMY.-The spring term of
Fryeburg Academy which has been taught by
f. A. Wilson of Orono and Miss Ward OF Fox
croft, closed Tuesday evening with an exhibit
ton which did much credit to both teachers and
scholars. Included in the programme were
deciamations by r. C. Harrington, Preston
Merrill and Ed Weston, Rotations and delne-
atoms by Lizzie Shirley, Laura Towle, Anna
Barrows and Maggie Bell Harrington. The
bows did finely ana the coming girl showed
that on the platform she is quite his equal.
Miss Hattie Pike in costume, sang Gipsey
song, in which she showed evidences Of the fine
training of Mrs. Merrill Of Portland Misses
May Warrener and Lille Walker gave the au-
dience choice instrumental music, and flute
and piano duet by Edwin and Mary Warrener
was warmly applauded. Misses Florence and
Jennie Warren delighted the audience with
duet Edward Smith, Lewis Eaton. f. G.
harrington, Thomas Souther, Paris Haley and
the Misses Warren, Warrener and Pike finely
presented the minor drama, "My Brothers
Keeper" Misses Mary Glines, Ida Berry,
Alice Abbot, Susie Randall, Amanda Weeks
and John Locke, Ed Smith. Frank Bachelor
and Freddie Kurdish afforded the audience
much amusement in representing collection
of rare flowers.
The term has been most successful in point
of numbers and Mr.. Wilson has proved himself
an efficient teacher and unwearied worker. He
has introduced system of classification which
enables the school TO make a better use of his
instruction. rhe summer term begins after a
vacation of ten weeks. Few towns in New
England afford so great attractions for stu.
dents in summer as Fryeburg possesses.

The curious Anderson case is to be taken
to the Court of Appeals. The circumstances
are peculiar, and the decision of the lower
court, if sustained, will prove a notable pre-
cedent. Mrs. Anderson's first husband was
Joseph Giraud, from whom she was divorced
and thus became entitled to $4,000 alimony
annually. Her second husband was Thomas
u. Shepherd. On being divorced from him
she obtained another almony of $4,000 year.
Shortly after this decree she married General
Z. l.. Anderson, internal revenue collector
at Columbia, South Carolina, with salary
OF $4,000. This salary with the $4,000 ali
mony, made very comfortable provision for
the newly married couple. Not long since
Shepherd grew tired of supporting another
mans wife, and brought suit to have the
alimony provision of the decree stricken out.
IL was submitted to referee, who sustained
the alimony. The case was then argued on
exceptions before Judge Donohue, who sus-
tanned the referees decision, ruling that fine
view which the defendant took of the law
would in effect make the decree one in re-
stralnt of marriage, because it would. while
giving the plaintiff the right to marry again.
iorpid 1t except at the penalty of the loss of
the amount decreed her. While sckly sem
tlmentalty should not lead court to oppress
husbands, some fair show of justice should be
gwen the wife, and the harsh rules of the
foreign courts, treating all things as crime in
wife and venial in men, should be avoided.
Shepherds counsel carried the case to the
general term, where Judge Daniels reaffirmed
The decision of Judge Donohue. Now the
aeiendant' evidently not ''gentle Shep-
heru, purposes to carry the case to the
Court of Appeals.

THE CANADIAN PACIFIC RAMwAY.-The
following are the chief features of the bill to
secure the building of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad, at given by the st. John Telegraph:
In the first place instead Of placing the whole
line liz the hands of one company, the govern
ment propose to divide it into sections and sub
sections and it will, no doubt be built by sew
eral independent companies or contractors
Such contractors are required to possess a CAPT.
tai of at least 50, 900 for each mile they under
take to build, and to deposit one-fourth of this
amount with the government Instead of re-
ceiving $30,000000 en- bloc for the construction
of the road. as in the former act the contrac-
tors are to receive four per cent ON the contract
price for twenty-five years, and the government
are to have the privilege of buying the road at
the reasonable advance of ten per cent. on cost,
less the value of the land and money subsidies
The land grant of 10000 acres per mile is to be
managed, and two-thirds of it sold by the gov
eminent ito pay for the construction of the
road. For the construction of the branch lines
a bonus not exceeding $4,000 per mile is to be
paid. No particular time is specified either for
the construction of the MANI line or the
branches, but it is understood that the branch
to Pembna will be commenced as soon as the
government have assurances that the United
States road will reach that point Without
these, OF course, it will be useless to build the
branch.
