The DEAF HEAR AND THE DUMB SPEAK,
The audience that gathered in Representa-
tives Hall, last evening, filling every inch OF
available space, were enthusiastic over the
exhibition given by Miss Ellen l.. Barton,
who is at the head of the Portland School for
deaf mutes. an institution which has been in
operation but 4 few years, but Which mas
Produced astonishing results. President
Locke of the Senate, called the audience to
order, and alluded to the interest the state
had taken in the education of the unfortunate
deaf and dumb. There are two methods oi
teaching-one by signs, and the other oy
articulation. The latter is the system pur-
sued in this school. He introduced the Rev
Dr.. Hill Who'll in an interesting manner,spoke
Of the necessity of language for social ana
business life, and the great difficulty IN I'M
parting instruction to deaf mutes, their
deprivation being greater than that OF the
blind. The great advantage of the articuia-
ton system, he said, was that the purhs
instructed by it could converse freely NOT
only with their own class, but 1t gave them
direct communication with the outside woriu.
Miss Barton then took the stand, and win
the help of six of her pupils from the age Il
six years and upwards. gave a demonstration
Of the wonderful success of her system. Inc
pupils were quite as quick to grasp her mean
ing from the movement of her lips, either IN
whisper or in uttered word, as though they
had heard the words and sentences distinctly
Orders given were promptly obeyed, problems
solved as rapidly as they were thrown out,
and the entire exhibition was gratifying. ana
truly wonderful as showing the possibilities
Of imparting knowledge to those whose ears
are sealed to all the sounds and sweet meiodies
Of the world, and from whose lips no u'tere"
word ever escapes. Miss Barton Is s"ca
charming teacher, that the deprivation nee.
e'sary to become pupils in her school cou''
ee endured for the sake Of receiving instFuc'
nen from snch spprce.

Maine Farmer: We take great pleasure
in noticing generous act by well known
citizen. One afternoon last week he met in
the streets young child, who, stopping him,
said she WAS hungry; he inquired where she
lived, followed her to her home. and finding
that her family were really in want, ordered
the father ami mother and all the children to
accompany him to a neighboring grocery
store; this generous man then
filed the arms of the parties,
five in number, with all the pack
ages they could carry, giving them flour. su-
gar, tea, coffee, butter, pork, eggs and other
necessities and Injuries. This gentleman
was not aware that he was known to the poor
family he was so lavishly aiding. nor did he
dream that any friend witnessed his conduct.
We trust he enjoys the full fruits of the
blessings which fall to the lot of n generous
giver, and we can assure him that he has the
admiration of many friends for his noble act
and they are also aware that this special
charity only indicates his general benevo-
lence.
