9Th:
LAST Saturday at the stock pens
of the c. & o. road above tho city,
were 40 beeves averaging 1850
pounds and 200 sheep averaging l35
pounds. These splendid animals
came from the farm Of Mr.. Chas. t.
Beale near Point Pleasant, Mason
CO., w. Va, and were on their way
to Baltimore. Some idea of the
farming in West Virginia may be
gathered from the fact that Mr..
Beale's farm is one of three that
stretch eight miles along the Ohio
river. On the first, Mr.. Beale's there
was raised last year 1000 bushels of
wheat, 1900 of corn, 100 Of rye, so of
oats, 300 head of cattle, including 20
short horn Durhams, $50 sheep, 200
hogs and 40 horses of which 6 were
thoroughbreds; on the second, Mr..
George Moore's there were raised
1000 bushels of wheat, 1900 of corn,
$50 cattle, 200 hogs and 40 horses
including SOME thoroughbreds, and
on the third, Mr.. Jno. W. Steenbor.
gems, were raised 1000 bushels Of
wheat, 1000 of corn, 100 head Of
cattle, 200 sheep and 100 hogs. Mr..
Beale came on with his stock, in
company with Maj. n. II. Hotchkiss.

Some years ago Customs Inspector was ap.
pointed for Danville Junction whose duties
were quite important He examined all seals
on cars coming from the West. When any
accident occurred on the lice of railway
between Danvlle Junction and Gorham, N.
H., he was expected to repair TO the spot, see if
any of the seals were broken and, if so, COM
pare the contents with the manifest, replace
the seals, and notify the office here. Finally
there are quite q number of small mauufac-
turers on the back road from Dapville Junciion
loaded and sealed there for despatch to the
West, and this officer attended to this duty.
he made monthly reports of the results of his
lsbors to Collector Morrill,.
1t appears that man in Lewiston wanted q
cheaper man appointed 10 place of the present
incumbent and told Mr.. Morrill, be knew Just
the man for the Office, but on questioning ad-
mitted his man could not do all the duties
required for the sum he thought was sufficient
70 pay. Soon after Mr. Morrill, received a
letter from branch of the Treasury Depart
ment asking his opinion as to the wisdom of
retaining such offics and officer at Danville
Junction. Mr.. Morrill, replied he considered it
advisable to retain both. A short time ago the
Office was abolished and the officer of course
dismissed.
Then Representative Frye look the matter
up and found the Collectors letter. When the
Treasury Department discovered that Collector
Morrill's opinion had been so treated they very
properly reprimanded the party guilty Of such
discourtesy and reinstated the officer.

Maine Educational Association.

CORNISH, Dec. 20, 1878.
Mr.. EDIToR:-It appears by notice that the
twelfth annual session of the Maine State
Educational Association is to be held at
Lemont Hall, Brunswick, Dec Goth, 9th and
2Sth.
We earnestly hope that the teachers, school
officers and all who are interested in the
welfare of our common schools will be in at
tendance for we bold it to be the duty of all
teachers especially to be present on all such
occasions as this, for while we pay the salaries
for good teachers, they should avail themselves
OF every means of obtaining information that
will the better fl them for their responsible
and ardnous duties, and we think no pro.
gressive teacher should lose such opportunities
as these to consult and advise upon such TOPICS
as will better fit them for their various duties
whether as teachers or school officers and no
successful and live teacher can afford TO let
such opportunities pass unimproved
we noticed acc ording to the Bethlehem, N
ii Echo that there were but three persons
from this county York at the American IN
sttute OF Instruction holden at the White
Mountains last July, and they were thorough
and practical teachers in our public schools and
take lively interest in educational matters.

among their feet and severely bruised, worked
his way along until he seizsd the promoter of
the mischief by the nose and horn, got rope
around bic head and tied him up.
