THE ALLEGRETTI ICEBERG.-The Iceberg
is the only Refrigerator scientifically construct
ed SO as to secure the one absolutely preserving
temperature which nature provides in its sup
ply of ice; namely, 50 degrees Fahrenheit. No
invention of man can ever hope to excel this
provision of nature; for below this point, even
one degree Of temperature, all vegetable lie
will be destroyed, and every degree OF temper
ature added above that point, only deducts SO
much from the efficiency of the preserving
power.
The highest awards over all competitors at
the last annual Exhibitions of the American
Institute, 1873 and 1874
Those in want of Refrigerator should not
fail to call and examine them at the Wheeler
g. Wilson Sewing Machine Rooms.

THE MUSEUM Across the Continent" is
destined to have a successful run at the Mus
cum. At the matinee yesterday afternoon the
hall was crowded, and in the evening the house
was we'll filled. The orchestra was enlarged at
the afternoon performance and the music was
excellent. Mr.. Bascomb, in the role of the
cold blooded villain, is perfectly at home and
wins new triumphs at each appearance. Mr..
Mcneil, as the italian and Black Cloud, was
excellent and was often applauded. The other
characters were as good as usual. The third
act in the piece is very exciting especially when
the battery is brought on the stage and the tel
egraphic communication is continued after the
wire has been cut by the Indians. The whole
house rose in cheers when the reply was re-
ceiyed from station 46 that the train would be
sent back to protect station At. If you want

Soothoo w
Mr.. Curtis thought that the amount for sal
aries should be increased because more teach
ers would be required in some schools, and
cited the Monument street school,
DR.. Shaier said that the Committee, the
chairman, Mr.. Libby and himself had careful
" revised the list of salaries and had come to
the conclusion that $1,000 could be saved on
High School salaries-the French instructor
having been discontinued and $500 saved as
was contemplated on the Second Assistant
Master, since the present teacher had signified
his intention to leave if his salary was not in
creased above $500, which was an increase OF
$500 last year.
Mr.. Frank thought there should be margin
of $1,000 for contingent salaries.
DR.. Hill stated that the officials at the aims
house had requested a teacher there during the
winter. The agent, Mr.. Fox, had improvised
school apparatus and picked up odd books for
school last winter, and he (Dr. HilD had visited
1t. The teacher, one of the inmates, wasn't
exactly the one he would select, but his efforts
were commendable.
Mr. Libby thought that the estimate for sal
aries, thei same as last year. would prove suffi'
Gent with the care the Board would give.
Mr.. Frank then moved that the estimates as
given above be adopted, which was carried.
Mr.. Driscoll, teacher of short hand writing,
appeared before the Board, and requested to bs
permitted to address the high school scholars
after session with view to form class. Re-
ferred to the Hight School Committee.
DR.. Smaller called attention to the fact that
quite a number of scholars were attending
schools outside of their own districts He
thought the committee should take some meas
ures to enforce their rules 10 this direction. 1t
was a positive evil.
Mr., Libby fully conceded with DR.. Smaller.
1t was the purpose to have one school as good
as another.
DR.. Hill gave a humorous account OF his
hunting over a neighborhood to find the resi-
dence of mother who came to see about hav-
ing her child admitted to school to which the
teacher refused to grant admission. He visited
every tenement in the whole locality and no
such name could be found or even heard of.
Mr.. Curtis thought that it would now be bet
ter to stop the evil where it is, but not attempt
to remedy what had been done until the be-
ginning of another tern. The matter was then
dropped
Mr.. Hunt, the Superintendent, was asked
to express his views generally. He said that
such was not his purpose. He was interested
in the work and proposed to devote himself to
it all of every working day. He desired to get
the views of the committee and carry them out
He asked the committee if any rules had been
prepared DR.. Hill replied that the committee
had not fully agreed upon code, but having
obtained those of other:schools, would be able
to lay something of the kind before the Board
at the next meeting.
1t was agreed that the Superintendent should
be in the room of the School Committee from
to a. No., aud from IL to 1 m. each school
day to attend to the teachers and public The
balance of the day he will be about the schools

THE RAILROAD TAx.-The Lewiston Journal
says that "all the railroad companies assessed
last year except the Maine Central, Atlantic &
St. Lawrence and Dexter & Newport, which
claim exemption under their charters (the case
of the Maine Central being now in conrt) have
paid their taxes for 1874, into the state treasu-
ry, as follows:
Boston q Maine... .$I0o4Z 70
Portland Saco q Portsmouth. ............ 22428 90
Portland, Great Falls q Conway. $40 90
st. Croix & Penobscot... 2l0 ~
Portland Horse Railroad. .......,....... S94 w
One-half of the tax for 1875, just assessed,
will come due July 1st In jnstce to all the
above roads it should be said that they reoog-
nized the obligation resting on them according
to all principal of justice, to contribute towards
the public expenses. Should it be finally held
that the roads which contest the tax are ex-
empted by their charters, it will be necessary
for the Legislature to SO modify the law as to
accomplish the end otherwise. There is no
doubt the object can be accomplished in some
way, if the people of the state desire old and
valuable railroads to fairly contribute towards
the public expenses. The U. s. Supreme Court
has just sustained law of New Jersey which
imposed duty for every ton of freight and every
passenger carried by the New Jersey railroad,
Notwithstanding its charter exempted it from
taxation"

ter from Parsonsfield, yesterday morning, an
nounced the quite sudden death of James y.
McTntire, ESQ.,, who has for many years been
prominently known in York county and this
part of Maine. MI. McIntire has been out of
health for some time. A year ago last Novem-
Der he suffered the amputatioD of his leg otter
long suffering, but fully recovered from that
trouble Last Sunday he was suddenly taken
i'll with commissions which continued until his
death on Tuesday. For twelve years Mr..
McIntire was Clerk Of the Courts in York

officer. For years he was most prominent
man in the Democratic party in that county.
He was a man of extensive reading and posi-
tive ideas. He graduated with distinction at
West Point about thirty years since. but did
not remain in the regular army, though he had
rare qualifications for the military science. Mr.
McIntire has in this city and throughout York
county a large number of warm personal
friends, whom he justly won by his manly, in
telligent and kindly qualities. He leaves
widow and four children, the eldest, Mr.. z. w.
McIntire, being one of the editorial corps of the
PRESS, a young man justly; esteemed for his
brilliant parts and his generous impulses, to
whom, with his bereaved relations, his asso-
ciates tender their heartfelt sympathy.

packed and jammed with people last evening,
who were anxious to see. Callender's original
Georgia Miastrels. They did see them, and

every song is fresh. 1t is the best troupe of the
kind that has visited this city for years. The
first part of the programme is made up OF
SONGS interspersed with lively jokes, and
plantation sketch. entitled ''Brudder Jones
Serenade." 1t was full of fun, and kept the
house in roars of laughter Dick Little then
appeared with his banjo, to the amusement OF
ALL Four of the men of color then appeared
in plantation quartette. They all have fine
voices, and render plantation song with great
effect Willie Lyle, the amusing prlma donna,
was excellent. A sketch entitled "Old Uncle
Jeems' brought the house down.
The star of the evening was Billy Kersands.
He was good in the opening, but in his special
ties he was simply immense He was loudly
applauded last evening at each appearance.
The excellent entertainment closed with the
pleasing plantation sketch entitled "Love in
Georgia" The audience was one of the best
that has gathered at Music Hall for some time.
This evening is the last chance to see the
troune. and nearly every seat is sold.
