High School.

The pupils in botany, numbering about q
hundred (9S counted), enjoyed an excursion to
Cape Elizabeth, on Friday last, in care of their
teacher, Miss Carrie Gould. The weather was
delightful, and the fields and forests, washed
and refreshed by the recent rains, were looking
their very best--whether it were in honor of
the occasion, in rivalry of the bright faces, or
because it came naturally and they could not
help it, BY invitation they stopped at the
dwelling of Daniel w. Fessenden, ESQ.,. near
the Ocean House, the ample accommodations
of which were placed at their disposal, we
might say, for there seemed to be nothing
there which was not free for them, and moth
ing that could add to their comfort or enjoy
ment seemed to escape the thoughtful care of
Mrs. Fessenden, whose cordiality and tact
placed even the most diffident at ease, and
made them feel at home. Leaving at the
house what they chose, they went to the beach
and the fields and swamps adjacent, and hay
ing collected what specimens they could meet
with, returned to the house for dinner, and
were delighted to find there Mr. Chase, the
principal of the school, who evinced his inter-
est in the class by driving out to be with them
ton to which was bountiful supply of milk
furnished by the hostess-some little time was
passed in lively conversation, and the innocent
sports which are SO natural and graceful in
youth; then they again addressed themselves
to the business of the day, going in various di-
rections in search of specimens. Most of them
went to the 1.-TWO Lights charming walk of
mile or more. After returning they passed
short time in chat and singing-not their
best, it is but fair to say)-and about o'clock
started for home, having thoroughly enjoyed
the day, and getting home in good season.
catalogue of the specimens collected, we
cannot give; but if any flower escaped notice
with hundred pairs of such eyes looking after
it, it must have been pretty good at hiding.
Among the best known which they found,
were the Linnaa, (very abundant Lathyrus
martimus, dew, being past bloom for the
most part,) Arethusa and Sarracenia purpurea.
The pupils will long remember the day as
one of pure enjoyment without any "dis-
count"

Opinions of Value.

"A writer IN saturdays Argus says:
Look at the absurdity of the citizens of Port
land selling the Rochester Railroad for $175,-
600. Why, you can put up the rolling stock of
the road at auction and it will bring more ex-
clnsive of the iron rails than the above sum-
The road is worth to-day with all the
franchises at the lowest rate which can be
placed at a half million of dollars
AS the question of the value of the rolling
stock, iron rails, spikes, lands, buildings; &C.,
has been called for we have to look to see
what it consists of, and we find that there are
locomotives (only A being first class,) passen-
ger cars, (only having mnch vaiue) 80 box,
81 flat, saloon freight, "A section cars, and 2
snow plows; of four engines the value would
be $4,000 to $4,000 each, the Rochester $4,000,
Westbrook $1,000, Alfred (no tender $1,000,
say in all S26 200. The cars are a good fair lot
and worth $40, 900 to $4,000 There are 60
miles of main and side tracks and - depot
buildings one-half the engine house in Port
land, and a car shop, which, with the land, it
is believed, might all sell for $4,000 net,
after paying expenses of taking up work and
transportation to market. The aggregate
value after stripping the road could not exceed
$500, 900. From this the floating debt, being
preferred claim, must be paid, leaving say
$40, 900 as outside price for the city and seven
per cent bondholders. ~Tvo-thirds to the
city would give them $4,000 to $50, 900 or
less than one-half the amount which has been
offered for the city's interest. x

Houghton took the lead at the start and kept

Buckley came in second in 10 m 55 Sec, but

who was given the second prize. The foul was
the result of rough water. Buckley, says the
Herald, is mere boy who gives promise Of
making an excellent sculler. Everybody re-
getted that he did not get the prize, but the
