STATE REFORM SCHOOL.
Farewell Presentation to superintendent
Buffum.

During the past two weeks the officers and
boys at the Reform School have been prepar-
ing a surprise for their retiring superintendent
and matron. Monday evening at the close of
the devotional exercises, one of the bows arose
and after making very neat presentation
speech, handed to the superintendent hand
some volume of poems which had been pur-
chased entirely by contributions from the boys
MIR. Butfum was completely taken by surprise
at this testimonial of the boys regard, and re-
sponded IN an appropriate manner. After the
boys had all retired, Mr. and Mrs Buffum were
conducted to the parlor where they were pre-
sented by the officers of the school, all of whom
were present, with an elegant easy chair and
1oot-rest. The presentation was made by the
assistant superintendent, who, in behalf of the
officers, expressed their regret at parting with
their superintendent and matron, and wished
them happy and prosperous future. Mr.
Bu1tlm replied in happy manner, and
thanked all the officers for their cheerful CO.
operation in his efforts to improve the boys.
Tuesday evening Mr.. Buffum gave the officers
a supper, and the evening was spent in social
intercourse. Mr.. Buffum has managed the
institution very successfully during the short
time he has been in charge, and it is to be re-
GREETED that he is now to leave. 1t must be
gratifying to know that his labors are apprecia-
ted, and that he has made so many warm
friends both in and out of the school.
To-day the new superintendent, Mr. Parker,
assumes charge of the school,

The Steamer Falmouth

The staunch and favorite steamer Falmouth
has been again chartered by the Norwich and
New York Transportation Company to run on
the Norwich Line between New London and
New York. The Falmouth was employed for
some eight months last season upon this route
and was a great favorite. The steamer is at
present undergoing extensive repairs at Rail-
road wharf-having new state-rooms built and
her guards enlarged, as mentioned in the
PRESS little while ago. The steamer New
York will sail on Saturday next for New Lon
don, to run in place of the Falmouth till the
latter steamer is ready, which will probably be
on the first of June, when the steamers will be
exchanged. 1t is understood the charter is
effected to enable the Norwich Line to run the
popular "Dollar Line from Allyn's Point,
which will probably be opened May 10TH

That Wine,

Readers of the PRESS will remember the
seizure of two casks of wine at the Eastern ex-
press office on April 22d. The way bills show
ed they were forwarded from New York to
Boston by Mr.. Gregory This Mr.. Gregory
afterwards claimed the liquors ON the ground
that they had been misdirected, and asked for
their return. The case came up in the NUM-
cipal Court yesterday morning. Mr.. Ring adj
mitted he had no evidence, beyond suspicious,
that this wine was intended for sale.
Judge Knight ruled that as the question was
only one of law, under the statute, the owner
ship of the liquor must be clearly proved If
the Express company had come in and claim
ed for their lien for expenses it would have
brought party in interest into court. As it
was, Mr.. Winsow and his company appeared
as agent of the owner The question was, had
the packages been identified as the misdirected
packages? Or in other words, had the goods
claimed by Mr.. Gregory been sufficiently de-
scribed by the express men? No decision was
reached and the case was continued for one
week

Ferry Village,

Spring cleaning and brushing up generally is
quite active in this locality. The much needed
repairs on the Methodist church are almost
completed, and great credit is due to Rev. S.
f. Wetherbee, the PASTOR for his persistent
efforts and personal supervision of all the work
Some of the labor has been a free-will offering,
some preferring to give in that way. When
the repairs are all finished this house of wor-
ship will look finely, and all who have in any
way aided, will have no reason to regret the
outlay. Much to the satisfaction of the people
at Ferry church, Rev. Mr.. Wetherbee has been
returned to them a second year, and AS in the
past, SO in the future, he will do all in his
power to help build them up in all that is of
good report.
