tory of the Press 10 Cumberland county, by +. H.
Elwell of the Portland Transcript, which en-
braced, also, biography of the late john Neal
and his literary works; brief sketch was also

ton OF the Association.
\ Poem was then delivered by Rev. George W.
Quinby, ID. d., Of the Gospel Banner, chosen at
the last meeting. The poet claimed that it was
his first attempt, but from the APPRECIATION of his
auditors, we should trust they rather doubted it.
1t was humorous and happily conceived, and the
vote of thanks at its close, and that it be spread
upon the records, was well deserved.
The subject of the annual excursion was taken
up aud discussed by Messrs. Holman, Elwell, Sho-
rev, Chase, Dingley and others. Several objective
points were suggested, and finally it was deter
mined to visit Moosehead Lake, if satisfactory ar
rsngements could be made. Messrs. d ingley of
Lewiston, Smith Of Bangor, and Vickery of Au-
gusta were appointed u committee to carry out
the arrangements.
Mr. Holman presented a resolution stating the
d tiiculty experienced by printers in using type
procui cd from different foundres and calling up
on type founders to agree upon uniform hegm
and SIZE Of type Of the same fonts, that the quads
and other matter may justify.
The resolution received a passage.
+. s. Hoyt of Portland was received as men,
Der of the Association.
The amendments of the constitution, offered by
| Mr.. Morell, in the forenoon, were taken up. The
first proposition was amended and passed, chang
ing the name Of the organization to the "M-inc
Press Association" the second PROPOSITION to

ship fee to SO, and the annual dues to 50.

People in this vicinity are fosc,bly reminded OF
cold weather. while snow storms are Of almost
daily occurrence. Awful fully describes the
travelling, and the work in the woods is vely
much impeded. Owing to the bad condition OF
roads, but little wood has been hauled into market.
Good dry wood sells for $500 per cord.
Trade is dull, and life in the village just now is
decidedly monoonous.
To kill time some Of the traders have sold
their goods at suction, thus dsposi1g of their
shop worn goods, and obtaining a httle ready
cash. h. Is. Curtis having sold the most of his
goods IN TIM manner, has moved the remainder to
the room of Jewetts market where he will con-
tinue in the dry goods business.

Gated 81 degrees in the shade. Surely quite a

The ceremony was performed in q manner to
call forth expressions of appreciation from all pres
cnt, and if we all give heed to the advice give n
we shall be pretty good masons. After the cere
mouy vi installation speeches were made by Bros.
j. w. Toward, w. II. Dearborn, ]. d. Myrick
Geo. Z. Weeks and others, after which all sat
down to an oyster supper, and as this was part
of the programme in which all were interested
Justice was done by the several perfo liners.
We noticed few days since that Rev. A. r.
Crane had succeeded in securing the pledge Of
$50, 600 to secure the liberal endowment of that
amount from Gov. Coburn. Since then the COM
mittee on the subject, W lliam Wilson, Calvin Hop
kins, George IL. Pilsbury, and Percival Bonney
have made their report, announcing the fact that
we have already stated. In bis orig inal offer Gov
Coburn promised to pay his subscription rap
idly as others did, and no faster. With his ac-
eustomed generosity, however, he now offers not
only to pay the principal in the same proportion
as others, but agrees to pay as much on account
of interest as other subscribers. This enables the
schools at once to receive the aid afforded by the
income of the funds. Mr.. Crane, who has labored
with so much faithfulness and perseverance dur
ing the last two years, has declined further service
and DR.. ]. II. Hanson, Principal of the Institute
at Watervile, has been employed to secure the
remaining sum and to make collections. The
committee are confident that he will meet with a
generous reception. 1t is very desirable that the
amount subscribed should be paid into the treas
ury at once. According to the terms of the sub
scription, unless otherwise specified, one-third is
now due and payable. Money can be sent by
check or postal order, to ]. II. Hanson or E. l..

reaching the order of resolutions Senator Wood
10 rose and said in relation TO Gov. Tiden's

Benne;t-May.
The Tribune has an account of the Bennett
May duel from party present at the duel. 1t
SAYS: The tist shot fell to May. If he should
Kill or disable his antagonist while the words
lone, two, three were delivered in rapid sue
cessiOn by others second, he was safe. If he
shoul fail it would be his turn to be target for
the bullet of his opponent. The arrangement
having been completed, the principals took posi-
ID.
The pistols were loaded and handed TO them,
aud the seconds retired to side. Then came
the question: care YOU ready 7" Immediately
and before the "one," could be given, May raised
his pistol, took hasty aim and pulled the trg-
ger. The weapon mi sed fire On receiving the
lntmaion that il his turn, Mr.. Bennett raised
his pistol cried scorufully: II cannot Kill you
now, if wished and pointing it into the air,
fired quickly.
The duelists saluted one another when sudden
ly, confronted by shame and modification, TO the
utmost amazement of all present Fred May
turned and hurried away, unable longer to face
his disgrace. Ii was no impulse of generosity on
the party of Mr.. Bennett, all felt, which caused
him to fire into the air, but sudden decision to
repay with interest the modification which he
had felt in the public lashing before the club
house.
