ly fix years old, who is going to be a
poet, one Of these days, that is, Il he has a
fair chance to be child first. 1t would
be dreadful ii the gifts Of his coming
years should be brought TO him so soon
as to weigh his childhood down and make
him weary and worn before his soul has a
chance to grow. am glad to hear that
he is merry, free-hearted little fellow
now, fond OF play and not so very, very
good but that he can sometimes get into
mischief. Still, those who are nearest 10
him know that strange thoughts fit
through his baby brain, and that his
dreamy eyes often look faF1 far away,
whittier no one may follow him. He
goes TO the seaside with his mother
sometimes, and digs wells in the sand
like other youngsters, and runs about
her in great glee, Then he will grow
sober, and after while he says:
Write, mOther-write just what tell
you. I'm going to make some Twill
poetryw
Here is something that he made in this
way after few moonlight visits to the

SATURpAY.-State Vs. Edward DennsOn and Will
lie BRYANT On Indictment for setting fire to the State
Reform School, situated in Cape Elizabeth, JAM Ii,
1875.
Soon after the fire was set both respondents con-
fessed to setting the fire and both pleaded guilty IN
the Municipal Court. They now say they were IN
duced to make that confession through threats OF
Superintendent Wentworth and through desire to
get away from the institution.
Bryant tesiifes he threw piece OF paper down IN
the rat hole where the fire was subsequently lighted,
not for the purpose OF having fire, but because that
was where all the boys threw waste stuff
Dennison testiies he saw Eastman set the fire but
had no part himself In the transaction.
Charles L. Eastman, who was also indicted for the
same offence, pleaded guilty.
Mr.. Wentworth denies threats, and says that he
simply asked the boys what the facts were, and that
Mr.. Porter, one of the trustees, was present when
they made their confessions. Verdict guilty.

paintings at Schumacher Bros Art Gallery,
which will be sold at auction, to begin Tuesday

ton of all the lovers OF. fine pictures. We
have no space to speak of the individual merits

nal oil paintings which can be bought at low
prices which, if they are Lot what they are
represented to be- may be returned at any time

ent insurance companies doing life business
in Maine the past year, that the Equitable A'le
Assurance Society of the United States heads
the list both in amount of new business ana III
the increase of premium receipts.
Mr. j. F. Clark. General Manager for TIC
State, informs US that the general business de-
preston had no visible influence with the sue
cess of his agency during 1874, thus showing
that the Equitable must be exceedingly popu'
lar
We also notice that nearly one-fourth OF all
the life business transacted in the state py
thirty three companies was done by the Equi'-
able, that is, that it did nearly eight times 'he
average amount of all the companies.
1t does not seem SO strange that men prefer
the Equitable when its strength of $27, OOo,OOo
its income annually of $1O,0OOO0O and its sur
plus If $4,000 900 are taken into account. IL
