A Fiendish Outrage.

Such heading may seem sensational, but it
is fully borne out by the facts. Last Saturday
night lady living on Cedar street, the wife of
one of our well known citizens was walking
down Congress street on her way to friends
who resides on Congress street close by the
corner of Franklin etreet. As she neared
Wilmot street she noticed a man coming up
behind her who had on soft hat, the brim
slouched over his eyes, and his coat collar
turned up about his ears. The man was about
medium height. stout built. As he came SO
close behind her the lady stepped little to one
side when the villain threw the contents of a vial
over her With great presence OF mind she
closed her mouth as the contents of the vial was
thrown, and thus escaped breathing into her
lungs the chloroform with which the vial was
filled. The man evidently expected to see her
fall, but she managed to elude him and reach
her friends door, Il few steps away, where she
fell almost senseless in the hall The lady is a
sufferer from heart trouble and Sunday she
was quite ill from the shock. II her husband.
Or her friends, should catch that rascal he will
rue the day he ever did such dastardly deed
What his motive could have been in that pub
lie place, before 9 O'Clock, can hardly be mac-

The Educational Meetings at Pittsfeld
AT the meeting of the educational societies
at Pittsfeld the following resolutions were
adopted:
/. That our thanks be tenderedjto Mrs Mary
II. Hunt of Hyde Park, Mass, for her very
able and interesting lecture on scientific tenn
perance education (this was delivered Wednes-
day evening, Dec. 90, before the Educational
Association) and that we recommend that
in all our schools the effectsiof alcohol on the
human system be taught as scientific fact,
either by itself or in connection with physiolo-
gy. To secure this we call attention to Rich
ardson's Temperance Lesson Book, and espec-
tally to Miss Julia Colman's "Alcohol and
Hygiene" as suitable text books.
=. Whereas it has been found by actual
practice at Bath, Lewiston, Orono, Dexter,
Waterville and other places wherever adopt-
ed in our own and other states that among the
various methods which have been tried to Sc
cure the advantages of uniformity of text
books in our public schools, the furnishing of
free text books has proved the most valuable
for the schools, the most economical to COM
inunities and tho most satisfactory to parents;
and whereas, Maine was the first state, so far
as we are informed to provide by law that
The Portland daily press., 1881-01-04

towns and cities may at their option, furnish
free text books to be loaned to all pupils, thus
placing the poor child on an equality with the
Weather in securing an education free OF cost
to BOTH therefore,
Resolred, That we earnestly recommend the
general adoption of the system of free text
books for public schools throughout the state.
3. That as it is in accordance with the die
tates OF sound reason and common sense that
the officers whose duty IL is to examine and
certificate the teachers of district schools.
should select and employ them, therefore, the
selection and employment of teachers should
be made by law the duty of the superintend
ing school committee.
1. That the interests of education in this
state demand the establishment of state
board of education.
s. That the privileges of higher education
should be brought within the reach of the
largest possible number of pupils in the state
by the establishment of free high schools and
that we recommend such changes in the pres
ent law as will require all towns i'll the state
containing 800 inhabitants or more, to sustain
such a school for at least one term annually.
6. That we reatfirm our approval, expressed
last year of Wades Graduating System ior
common schools, and repeat our recommenda.
tion of it to the favorable consideration oil
school officers and teachers.
Resolutions of thanks to the citizens OF Pitts
field, proprietors of the Lancey House, and the
railroads, especially the Maine Central, for
favors, were also passed.
Steps were taken to secure incorporation
of the society, and to furnish an annual report
of the educational progress in the state in con-
nection with the work of the society. 1t was
decided that the annual meetings should be
held in October, commencing on the second
Tuesday of the month. The following persons
were elected to membership of the Pedagogi-
cal Society;

The Problem in Interest.

PORTLAND, Jan. l.
MIR. EDIToR:-Those who find the endorse
ment on AS note to be $2OlG0 undoubtedly
see very plainly why it cannot be anything
different, but there is a point overlooked by
them which when discovered will change their
views. 1t is considerable to expect B. to pay
12 per cent interest in advance on $3.50, but
we are making this a case of equity and so go
one better By endorsing S201.60 he will still
hold S21.G0 that should have been paid to A.
and on which he ought to pay interest upon
interest to the last mill. Let us suppose that
at the time A pays BIS $500, $50 more than
from which he can produce (by charging in
terest in advance as upon the S1S0,) 1st 50. .259,
I'd $0.31, Sd S004, 4th $0.0O5 or total OF
$2.945. But B. has paid no interest in cash
and it follows that, &. has lost S2945 unless B.
endorses S204 545.

posed route. Gen. Mattocks of Portland was

There was considerable enthusiasm and an
earnest determination manifested to strike
out for railroad facilities. Some sentiment
was expressed fav oring connection with the
the P. & o. r. r. at Fl IRAN, but the prevail
ing feeling was favorable to the narrow gauge
through to Portland, provided the other towns
on the proposed line are ready to bear their
proportion Of the expense.

Attempted Robbery at the Cane.

Mr.. Emerson Higgins, superintendent of
Sunday School at Cape Elizabeth resides on
the road to Higgins Beach. Mr.. Higgins
says he has employed man named George
Hail. for some time back, on his farm Satur-
day night Mr.. Higgins went home with SLY
in his pocket. This fact he says, was known
to Hall. Mr.. Higgins went to bed at the
usual time, and, about 3 o'clock Sunday morn
ing, he was awakened hearing some one
moving about his room. He sprang out of bed
and seized the intruder who proved to be Hail.
Hall gave as an excuse for his presence that
he intended to leave New Years present for
Mr.. Higgins. He was trying to feel his way
out of the room but was on the side opposite to
the door, Mr.. Higgins trousers were on the
floor with the pockets turned inside out. Hall
did not get the money as Mr.. Higgins had
hidden it away 1t seems singular, under the
circumstances, that Mr.. Higgins let Hall Co.
but he did. It is said Hall worked for a Mr..
Murray some time ago and that Murray lost
$500, and he never could tell where it went to-
