A curious anatomical discovery Is said
to have been made by doctor in Japan.
He says that the cneek-bone OF the Ja-
panese is double in many cases, instead
Of being o single structure. The addi-
lional bone is united to the other by
suture, and 1t is believed to be peculiar
to the Japanese race. II this be true,
then must we look to Japan for the
future book agent and hghtniug-rod

1875.


1t cannot be said that the year Just clos
ing has been one of material prosperity for
Hancock County. 1t is doubtful il any of
our business men. or laboring men have
made themselves dollar richer than they
were last January. On the contrary we
fear private Indebtedness must have in
creased. The fall in prices has taken away
aorofits of the capitalist, and in the
.f su2 wagas rave declined. Greater
any has undoubtedly been practiced.
but the reducing of ones scale OF living
rarely keeps pace with the reduction of in
come.
There has been great shrinkage in val
ues. Property that year or two ago
would have been reckoned at $1,000 would
now hardly realize half the sum. Mort
cages that then were secure, ARE now doubt
fnl. or positively insecure. Ii has been a
good year to buy but bad year to sell.
and as mans wealth is what he has to
sell rather than what he needs to buy, he
has this year been SO much the poorer.
There have been perhaps an unusual
number of direct losses by business disas-
tiers. The failure Of y. wiggin & Co,
caused pecuniary loss TO many oil the trad
ers, and bo;e with great hardship on many
smaller operators, and laboring men. many
OF whom lost their entire seasons ventures.
The recent failure OF +. ID. Peters Co,

business interests OF this section. Much
OF the greater part of the surplus funds of
our business men was on deposit with that
nrm. The sudden loss of these funds has
not only seriously crippled the immediate
losers Tor the time being, but has been a
heavy blow to the whole community
Business cannot go on unless there is some
previous accumulation, and when the ac-
cum0!ations are suddenly swept away bus
mess must suffer. The effects OF this dis
aster will be much more apparent in the
Spring than now.
There is this consolation however. Prop
erty and prices cannot continually shrink.
There must be minimum Of value which
viii sooner or later be reached, and whea
business adjusts itself to the new scale, the
equilibrium will be restored though at a
lower level perhaps, and il will be as easy
10 sell as to buy. There may be fewer
dollars but they will buy more. \ days
work will procure as much provision and
clothing as ever before, and can be a.
readily exchanged for them.
When this minimum is reached conf
dence will be restored. No body will dread
further shrinkage, and every body will be
ready TO plan and labor for future earnings
Now that we are evidently on the road, il
would seem desirable that We complete the
journey. that we may the sooner have the
reward.

The proprietors of the Lewiston Journal
have just put an entire new dress of type on
their Daily and Weekly papers, and with the
use OF q finer quality of paper. both Journals
presents a very attractive appearance.
Among the weekly papers of Maine designed
for general State circulation, none more COM
pletely fills the ideal OF what a comprehensive
family newspaper should be than the Lewiston
Weekly journal, paper as large as the New
York weekles. and for the purposes OF Maine
readers much more scceptsbly filed. While of
course II is the duty of every citizen TO first
subscribe Tor his own county paper thecause no
other paper can supply its place in the matter
OF local news and local interestsl vet in these
days most families find it convenient TO have a
second paper of a more general character.
which shall give them more in detail the news
of the State and he country at large.
This is precisely the field occupied by the
Lewiston Weekly Journal, which stands in the
front rank of Maine or even New England
the active charge Of the paper brings renewed
yigor 10 its editorial character. Although de-
cidedly Republican in sentiment, yet It's politi-
cal convictions are expressed so courteou,ly as
TO command the respect of those holding diff
erent views; while its high tone aud entire
freedom from offensive personalities and OBJ
jectionsble reading, makes it well adapted to
every freside.
The Journals news summary. both general
and State, is unsurpassed, its Agricultural De-
partment is complete; its stories, sketches, and
other literary matter Of choice character and in
good variety; its Children's Department useful
and entertaining; while its reports of sl inn
portsnt gatherings and its correspondence are
Unsurpassed. In word. the journal !, the
paper for every Maine man. at home OF abroad.
BY the use of the telegraph and its new fast

From this Board two Inspectory Com

who have special executive duties to per-
form under direction of the Board. as in
dictated by the following bylaw:
ART. G. IL shall be the duty of the in-
spectOry committee on each school TO ex.
anime their respective schools a. often as
shall in their judgment be necessary in re-
discipline and efficiency of teachers. They
shall examine the school buildings and
grounds OF their respective schools. order
such repairs and alterations as shall be of
immediate necessity, and recommend to
the Board such other improvements as they
shall deem desirable. They shall recon-
mend to the Board for adoption text books

OF instructors; and, for good cause. NAV

Some four or five weeks ago, complaint
was made to the Inspectory Commi ttee by
Prof. G. L. Fletcher Principal of the E.
Normal School, that one of the assistant
teachers. Mr.. J. L. Arnott had advised the
students in lecture before the Students
Lyceum, to disregard the foregoing regula-
ton. A second complaint soon followed
that Mr.. Arnott had publicly repeated the
advice to the students under remoastrance
from the Principal. A meeting of the CON-
mittee was called at Castine, and Messrs.
Fletcher and Arnott were invited to be
present. Complaint and defense were made
