THE ART SALE-Last evening the sale Of
paintings at Schumachers' art store opened.
There was fair attendance but the bidding
was not very spirited, and but few sales were
made. The pictures went at very low prices,
and some rare bargains were secured Among
the paintings sold were Fl. B. Browns "View
ir Casco Bay" which brought forty dollars,
Norton's "Cork Pilot, sold for $25 c. ].
Schumacher's SIN Frankfort, for $780,
Shapleigh's "Mt. Washington" for $40, Ben
Champrey's Trout Stream, for $3.50, and
Fred KimbalPs Brook Scene, for SIS. These
astonishingy low prices were of course great
surprise to all in attendance, and if pictures
are to "rule" as low as this there is good reason
to anticipate rush of purchasers to day, for it
is seldom that SO excellent an opportunity is
afforded to buy so good pictures for so little
money. Those who are wise will not neglect
such chance.
The sale will be continued this afternoon and
evening, and as many of the best paintings
have not yet been offered those who desire to
secure good paintings at unusually low prices
will do we'll to attend.

merrimae valley Dental Association

The Merrimac Valley Dental Association
commenced its 26th semi-annual session at the
Council Chamber in this city at o'clock yes.
terday afternoon. The society was formed on
October 20, 1868, from dentists located in the
towns situated in the Merrimac Valley, at
Lowell, Mass. This association has gradually
extended its influence and membership until it
now includes an active list of over one hund-
red dentists belonging in all the principal
towns and cities in Massachusetts, and many
in the other New England States.
The meeting was called to order by Dr. A.
M. Dudley of Salem, Mass About fifty mem
bers were present. The chair appointed Drs.
Wetherbee of Boston, Perkins of Amesbury,
and GLttman of Great Falls, as an executive
committee pro tenn.
The following were elected new members:
Drs. Harry Leavitt, Showhegan; G. A. Haines,
Dexter; w. R, johnson, Portland f. A. Nor.
gan, Gray; j. L. Williams, Augusta; DR.. Preble
Auburn. DR.. Bacon of Portland, was unani-
mously elected an honorary member. DIR. Leon
Rideout of Lynn, Mass, then delivered very
able essay on "The teeth of the next genera.
ton"
AT The evening session DR.. Haley of Bidde-
ford, read an essay on 'Empiricism." The es-
say was listened to by the Members. Dr. File.
brown of this city, read paper upon sDental
Education" HIS idea was that dentist must
be medical man or he could not be successful.
A resolution to that effect was adopted by the
society after sharp discussion,in which Pro.
fessor of Dental College made the remark
that what medical college would teach a man
about dentistry didn't amount to ''shucks."
This morning there will be papers read by
DIR. G. A. Young of Concord, and DR.. File
brown of this city, on "Clincal Operations"

Philadelphia. with one-fourth less

that it is In no sense fraudulent. In

Deldtcare at the Centennial.

The exact number Of our people who
attended the Centennial on Thursday can
not be known. 1t can only be approx
mated by estimates. The number must
have been very great and has been esti-
mated as high as eight or ten thousand
We presume there were quite as many
from Maryland. But Delaware, Maryland
and West Virginia were quite swallowed
up in the vast number that entered the
grounds, which is said to be 1G1, 124 cash
visitors. The crowd was immense, and
although the people of the States which
lad combined on the day to celebrate their
national progress in the arts, made so
small number of the whole mass, yet
the great body of those present were UNI
doubleday in sympathy with the people of
Delaware, Maryland and Virginia; and
in this light it is encouraging to our citi-
zens and those who participated in the cere-
monies-it proves how intimately the peo-
pie of the States are interviewer in alice
ton, consanguinity and interest, and the
same relation exists between all the
States. Distance alone prevents the at
tendance of just as large numbers from
any or all the States of the Union. Mil
lions who cannot attend are as heartily
DESTROYS to go to the Centennial as were
the millions who have gone there.
The proceedings Of yesterday will be
found reported at length in our columns
The most perfect order and decorum and
polite etiquet prevailed; and nothing was
omitted on the part Of the people of Del.
aware, nor was anything done the pro
rrety of which could be questioned.
Governor CoCnRAN's address was de
livered with that good taste and judgement
for which he is noted; and the able anC
