LYMAN's HISTORICAL CHART.-Tn the study OF
history there are always great difficulties in re-
memberlng the many dates, in keeping in
mind contemporaneous events in the history of
different people, and in holding events in their
proper proportion. These difficulties are in
great measure if not entirely obviated by Ly-
mans Historical Charts new edition of which
has just been published. The scheme of the
chart is to present the history of the world by
centuries, and to bring tine eye to the aid OF the
mind in locating facts and events. By a sim
pie and ingenious plan the contemporaneous
events in the history Of nations are placed be-
fore the eye at glance, and the study is
taught much after the manner of geography.
This method is certainly the best yet hit upon,
and is invaluable to the historical student, for
he can acquire by it much move knowledge in
a short time than he learns in years by the old
methods. The revised edition is brought down
to 1873 A gentleman is now canvassing the
city for the chart and will bring its great merits
to the notice of all desiring to purchase.

''Washburns Last Sensation has become

snecialties Notable among these were the
Coleman sisters who played duet on comets
difficult instruments for small .grls-Very
credtably, and were handy with other musical
machinery. Jas. RowIand's trapeze balancing
was the most daring ever exhibited here; Sam
Sanyeah and Mile Leoia did some uncommonly
good double trapeze acts"

FIRES IN THE WooDs AROUND BANGOR
Very extensive wood fires are raging on the
north and east of Bangor. The fire started in
Amherst, Monday, and extended towards the
northwest. Among the townships burned over
are Number 2, owned by Hall brothers; Number
g. owned by Morrison & Gilman; Number "a,
owned by Fl. M. & B. HAIL. and Number 80,
owned by the Prentiss heirs and Messrs. Coe
and Giddings. The fire ragged fiercely near
Mattawamkeag, Friday, and when the freight
train came down, a car load of sleepers or
telegraph poles caught fire. The train was run
to Mattawamkeag, the burning car run under
the water spout of the tank house, and the fire
extinguished. Singularly enough the fire has
avoided several very valuable townships.
