The Cambridge School Troubles.

An authorized statement of Archbishop
Williams views on the school question has
at last been published. 1t does not quite
justify the Rev. Father Scully's boastful
declarations that the archbishop fully sus-
tanned his course in refusing the sacrament
to those who failed to patronize parochial
schools nor, on the other hand, does he
seem TO disapprove it so decidedly as was
represented by other reports of his remarks.
The archbishop is at issue with the public
opinion of the state and the country in pro-
nouncing the public schools danger and an
evil that may be tolerated while the danger
is remote only, but which the Roman church
regards with distrust and aversion. The in
fluenoe of this dangerous institution the
archbishop proposes to counterfeit by the es
tablishment OF parochial schools, so far as
that can be done without imposing too heavy
a burden upon the parishes, and by efficient
religious instruction. He deprecates vexa-
tious coercive measures of opposition TO the
system of popular education now existing
but he does not disguise his hostility to it
trusting, however, to the efficacy of kind ad
vice, psternal solicitude, gentle persuasion
prayer, and other means suggested b,
charity, to bring the misguided, the erring
and even the peryerse, to the performance o
their duties in this matter.

An Important Case Decided.

The case of l.. P. Poland trustee, against
the Lamoille Valley Railroad Company,
which was heard here at the general term
OF our supreme court, has just been decided
the opinion having been given by Judge
Powers. 1t will be remembered that some
time ago under the authority of Judge Ross
chancellor, the road was placed in the hands
OF receivers, upon the application of Judge
Poland in a suit of foreclosure in favor of
the bondholders. In this suit certain par
ties who had rendered services and furnished
material for repairing and running the road
appeared and claimed a lien upon the prop
erty, prior to the rights of the bondholders,
under the provision of our statute which
constitutes this class of indebtedness first
lien upon the personal property of railroad
when it is attached, as well as lien under
the common law.
The supreme court now declares that the
appointment f receivers did not and could
not interfere with the operatives right to at
tach the personal property of the road to
secure their debts; that the same right ex.
lists as if no receivers had been appointed /;
that the receivers or bondholders must pay
these laborers by the first of June next, or
all the personal property of the road shall
then be sold for that purpose; that as the
personal property of the road had been
lessened in value by use since the receiver
ship, all subsequently acquired property of
the same kind, with the net earnings of the
road, could be held for the same purpose.
BY this decision the receivers certificates
which have been issued for any other pur-
pose than to pay the operatives are made
secondary to their claim.
1t is estimated that this back pay now
due amounts to about ninety thousand dol.
lars, large part of which is due to parties
who rely upon their daily labor for the sup
port of themselves and families. OF course
the decision is hailed with joy by the work.

is great relief.

IRISH BULLDozING.-This art seems to
be understood among the anti-rent agitators
in Ireland. A Mayo landlord writes to the
Pail Mall Gazette as follows Every man
is afraid of his neighbor; rich and poor,
landlord and tenant, priest and people. My
rent day came last week, and two tenants
paid their rent. A stack of hay belonging
to one of them was burned the same night ;
and since then a threatening notice has been
stuck up on the chapel door naming each
individual, about ten in all, who have paid
their rent this year. The people have the
money and are ready and willing to pay,
but they dare not. Every man of any po-
siton has to go armed, aud neither land
lords nor farmers are happy at being out af-
ter nightfall'

Crippen followed with a lesson on grammar, and
the most practical methods OF instruction. lie
advised the free use OF blackboard exercises, sup
plemented with oral instruction. as better condu-
Give to practical understanding Of the principles
and use OF language, than close adherence to
textbook forms The afternoon session was
opened by Professor McLoud, In practically illus.
trating his method OF teaching arithmetic by
means OF class exercise. Professor Crippen
next illustrated the science OF botany, by n les
son on leaves, explaining their forms and CLASH
ication. He urged its Importance and adapta-
ton to common school instruction, on account OF
its value in everyday life, and its tendency to
higher development of the faculties OF obserya-
ton In acquiring an interest In the natural OBJ
jects by which we are constantly surrounded
Colonel Mead next addressed the meeting on
chemistry, in Its application to the growth OF
vegetation and its value to people OF every voca-
tion but more especially to the farmer. He
urged the Importance Of natural science instruc-
ton in the common school, as the necessary step
png-stone to higher and more thorough knowl-
cess in the practical business OF life, and power
ful aids to higher material and intellectual de-
yelopment. The question box was next exam
ined aud its contents discussed by Superintendent
Conant The evening session was mainly occu-
pied with a lecture on elementary education by
Superintendent Conant, and q closing address by
Colonel Mead, upon the general subject OF edu-
cation. Superintendent COnants lecture was a
clear and mastery exposition OF what elementary
instruction should accomplish, AS the foundation
for the highest intellectual development. Words
OF mine fail 10 fifty portray the character OF
Colonel Mead's address, so Astounding was II In
that rare commodity, c0nnl0n-seilSe, and SO full
Of practical wisdom and instruction as well
Words fifty spoken, arc like apples OF gold In
pictures Of silver" The meeting must exert a
useful influence In this community, as tending 10
arouse higher ambition among our teachers, 10
Improve and excel In their important work. and
we hope To see increased interest In educational
matters by those directly interested In the main
tenance Of our schools

MoRMoNs DErfANT.-The plain talk of
President Hayes, in his message, concerning
the denominations Of Mormonism, seems TO
have excited the ire Of the saints, and they
evince that degree of madness which is said
to go before destruction. A Salt Lake dis
patch states that at Mormon conference on
Sunday of last week, Apostle John Taylor,
the head of the Mormon church, made an
address, in which, after stating that the
laws of the government should generally be
obeyed, but that as the law of God sane.
toned plural marriages, they should obey
the law of the Lord in preference to any
other; therefore he called upon the congre-
cation to manifest by the raising of hands
if they favored the law of God in this re-
spect, and the response was unanimous
This is considered an answer to President
Hayes message concerning the execution oil
the law against polygamy.
