The teachers class at Fryeburg was a sue
cess. Forty teachers who are under engage
ment to teach in the summer schools were
present Others who taught last winter and
will teach during the coming winter were in
attendance. Mr.. Rounds of the Pennington
Normal School, took the subjects of language,
grammar and arithmetic. Mr. Colthell took
up reading, spelling and school organization.
Mr.. Luce treated of drawing, schools move
ments and the laws specially affecting the
teacher. Very great interest was manifested
on the part of the members in attendance. As
some new methods of teaching were developed
the interest excited was very great. All the
instructions was of the most practical charac-
ter. The members expressed themselves much
interested and profted by the work and de-
clared their intention to have another meeting
at Lowell in September. Promises were given
by the state superintendent that he would pro-
vide instructors if assurance could be given
that fifty teachers would attend. Indeed, h e
declared himself ready to hold such meetings
in any part of the state if assurance could be
given that fifty teachers would attend for two
or more days. The success of this meeting was
largely due to Hon. E. G. Harrington and Hon.
S. D. Wadsworth, who took special pains to
get the teachers to attend. FRYEBURG.

CHL0RoFORMED AND ROBBED.-Ye Yesterday
afternoon man living at Mrs. Smiths sailor
clearinghouse on Fore street borrowed a
quarter of fellow boarder to get some whis-
key. After getting the whiskey, he borrowed
another quarter to get some perfumery. The
perfumery he purchased was chloroform. With
this ammunition they both started for the Cape.
On the way the proprietor of the whiskey
and chloroform invited his companion to
drink of the former, and after be
had drunk, filled up the bottle with
the chloroform. Reaching some secluded spot,
he offered his victim the mixture, and then
saturating handkerchief with chloroform, held
it to his nose till he was senseless. He then
robbed him of $17 and cleared out, probably by
the Boston boat.

This is comparatively new tcdder,
having been in use but three seasons, we
believe. We have used it only the past
summer but with the most thorough Salts
faction.
The Importance and value OF II teddcr,
we believe,s not generally approximation
nearly rs much SOFAS they would be ifthey
were more generally used. A neighbor to
whom we lent ours for trial said if he
could have only one, a tedder or II moving
m chine, he should take the tedder; but
last hay season was especially favorable
for such decision. for the great trouble
then was to get hay up, and no trouble 10
get down all we could make and get in.
But we reckoned that it saved us about
FORTY dollars one day. We had II heavy
piece of grass, of which we had cut part
one afternoon, after it had cleared away,
and the remainder the next forenoon.
Signs of foul weather appearing we put on
the tedder, going over it all twice and the
HEAVIER portions three times. AS we chang
ed work with n neighbor we had four men
and two teams, so we started them both.
and our little girl raked after with the
"Gleaner and night saw fourteen loads
of good hay-our best-in the barn in per-
feet order, and the next day, rain all day.
and forty dollars would have been mt
temptation to us to have had that hay lie
out through it.
The Collins is lighter than other tcdder,
we have seen, having but one set Of gea
which operate the forks, though it works
in turning the same as if geared from botl
wheels. 1t is substantially made and ST
light of draught as to be easily handled by
light horse The distinctive feature Of
the Collins is loose fork which is attach
ed at the top by Il hinged arm, but ut it

through II band on the arm attached to til,
shaft so the fork striking any obstruction
Yields to it and is not forced down by TIN

but after all it is the money they are after,
and it is this that makes them labor so
hard-not that they like it. l don't wish
to discourage any one from being n farmer,
because of the unpleasant features con-
nected with it. think it is a very good,
respectable business.
But farm life has its real pleasures, and
most of them come in winter. We then
have more time to give TO these things.
We probably do, not appreciate properly
the delights of sleigh riding, the pleasure
in going to school, to spelling schools. etc.
We also have more time to study at
night-an advantage We should always
improve.
Some complain that they have no time
to study on the farm. But know they
have time if they will only improve it.
Some of us farmer boys would like to have
the advantage of attending college, too.
can see no reason why the farmer boy
should not have college education rs well
as any other person. To be n really good
fnamer, and to render farming II pleasant
occupation, requires intelligence, and this
cannot be had without education.- W.

Pussy AND PUpPY.-Pussy was u dear
old mother-cat who lived in IL burn in a
bed of understanding hay, with her three
children.
Puppy was Il baby-dog who lived with
his mother in the city; their bed was in a
dark, dusty cellar underneath lumber
store, and it was not made of sweet hay.
but of musty pieces of canvas laid under
the cellar stairs.
One day a little boy named George
came to the city, and went to see the
keeper of the store who was friend of hi.
father.
The gentleman showed him the little
family in the cellar-the proud, loving
mothcr-spaniel, and her four brown babies
Their eyes had opened that very day: was
it not a pity they had nothing pleasantel
to see than dust and cobwebs, lumber and
old barrels? All, but they had their beau.
tiful mother, and she was all the world to
them!
Little George was delighted; he gently
strokcd the backs of the puppies, while
their mother looked up trustfully into his
face, for she saw ut once that he loved her
children. Then the gentleman told George
that he might have one of the puppies for
his own if he would promise to take good
care of him.
The little boy was more pleased than he
could tell for to own fat puppy had been
his dearest wish for long time, 1t was

"And then, after all this is done, we

And so with apples. You unhead bar

With n deprecating smile the Deacon

all the best fruit, and put it in barrel by
itself, and mark it extra, and then pu

was claimed that we should get an extr;
pl ice for the extra fruit, and the regula
