NJ C. M. A Drawing School

The success which attended the free draw
ing school under the patronage of the Maine
Charitable Mechanic Association last winter
vas such as to justify the continuance of the
school the coming winter. Accordingly the
school will be re-opened on the evening of
Dec. 4th, and continued during the months of
December, January and February. There
will be three classes as last year, viz:
Mechanical Architectural and Freehand The
Mechanical class will be taught by Mr.. Wilson
Springer draughtsman at the Portland Com
pany's, the Architectural by Mr.. Chas. H.
Kimball, the well known architect; and the
Freehand by Mr.. John B. Hudson, Jr., the
artist, who taught this class so successfully last
year. Owing to the confusion on the first
night last year occasioned by the rush of APP
plicants it has been decided this year to allow
no applications to be made on the opening
night, but all applications must be made per-
sonally prior to that time to Mr.. G. III. Kim
ball at No. 1901 Middle street. The school is
open to all mechanics in the State and the
tuition is free.

visit to the Corinna silver region reports that
there is great excitement in that vicinity and
that there are many people there from differ

very promising thing is said to be the large
amount of oxidized lead found on the surface.

In justice to the immediate neighbors of Mr..

proceeding, believing that no reasonable cause
was shown for any unprejudiced person, rela-

the authorities to desecrate the grave and ex-
