from lying on this subject2 Would he tell
them to tell the truth about the great
fraud, or remain silent2 Would he In
struct the teachers that, so far as their
duties go, they must tell the truth in this
branch of teaching, as they do in other
branches. When narrating the history Of
the last presidential election, from Hayes
nomination till his Inauguration, would he
tell them they must describe things ex-
aetly as they occurred, pointing out the Pc
culiarity of the more salient features, and
indicating the development Of events, step

is within reach, aud the course of narration
is perfectly clear. Would be tell them to

A MOST SATISFACTORY RESULT.

The municipal election in this city yesterday
suited In republican victory by an increased ma
jorty. Mayor Nash is reelected by the handsome
majority of 500 votes, reteraton of the endorse
ment Of his administration at the caucus. While
the democrats as general thing chung to their
party nominations, in most if not all of the wards,
they departed from this rule by voting quite lib
orally for Mayor Nash, our candidate running
ahead Of his ticket. The election passed off very
quietly, except in two or three of the wards. and
there was anotable absence of many of the old
democratic warehouses who in past years have
contributed to make the elections interesting and
often exciting.
We have elected the entire republican ticket in
all the wards with the exception Of Ward 6,
where there is no election of ward officers. This
was occasioned by the republicans running two
tickets, the question involved being one concern.

Another election will be held in that ward to-day
In Ward there were three tickets, but the reg
ular republican ticket was carried by good ma
jority. In Ward the Alderman was elected by
the largest majority ever given in that ward. In
Ward every democrat voted, as did all the re-
publicans with the exception of three. In Ward
3, four votes were thrown for Erastus Haskell for
Mayor.

Your correspondent has been anticipating visit

| head his notes "kenncbec Valley Camp Ground
| 10 Winter but when stepped from the train
this morning, very little snow was to be seen upon
| the hillside. However, ascending the hill and en-
| tering the grove, VIC found the snow nearly foot
| in depth and the crust sufficiently hard to bear
our weight. We proceeded at once to the house
Of the superintendent. While the Mrs" was
preparing breakfast the super ntendent took me
over the grounds and pointed out the improve
ments he has been making during the year, and
those he intends to make at once.
The high winds which prevailed yesterday blew
down several trees, and strewed the ground with
decayed limbs from others.
Since your correspondent was here, Mr.. Reed
has cut good deal Of wood and cleaned the I'M
derbrush from several acres outside the enclosure
| and on the whole has made decided improve
| mcnt The great amount of snow that has fallen
| has kept him busy in shoveling il from the roofs
Of buildings, and none have been crushed. Had
no one been Oh the spot to care for the property
| the damage from this cause alone, would have
been great.
The association has filed the ice house with a
sufficient amount of the frozen fluid" to keep the
| large temperance gathering that meets there in
| August as cool as may be. to say nothing about
| the religious gathering that congregates there
still later in the season. Ice is almost indispens-
| able to cottagers who spend two months or more
upon the grounds Last year fifteen tons were
| stored and proved to be far too small quantity,
| the committee being obliged to haul several tons
| from the house of Haynes & Dewitt just below.
Twenty-six tons now stored will probably be sufii-
| Gent for all purposes.
Some new streets will be laid out as soon as
the snow is gone and several cottages Aill be
| erected.

a nice cottage on Baker avenue, to be put up as
| soon as the snow is OIL. Thomas Fuller of Au-
gusta, has the lumber ready for nice cottage on

will soon be occupied by nice cottages. Smith
avenue is already nearly filled up.
In looking about among the buildings our eyes
| fell upon the various mottos, such as The Lord
our Righteousness" Salvation through the
| Blood" &C., reminding Of gatherings past
upon the spot and that soon we shall be assembled
there again. Various thoughts crowd themselves
upon US as we look through the grove and behold
| all so quiet and deserted, and then again think
soon the green leaves will appear, and cottagers
will gather to spend the summer months, and the
| hammer of the workmen will be heard and all
| will be life and animation. Such is life-but il
will not do to morslize here just now, for the
