OF the Government, for no other conceivable
object than to keep up an annual surplus

dollars Tor radical pludering and electioneer-

A Perfect Portrait

One OF our best engravers, Mr.. Samuel Hoil-
yer, has been engaged for the past sixsmonths
upon portrait of the late President Garfield.
1t is the only large steel portrait OF him that
has been made, and is entirely in line and stip-
pie. The photograph from which it was en-
grayed was designated by Mrs. Garfield for the
purpose, and was taken at the Treasury De-
partment in Washington by the government
photographer, in the spring of 1880, before
Garfield's nomination for the Presidency. HaV-
ing been taken before the care and excessive
labor of the exciting campaign OF 1880, and
while he was in the full enjoyment OF health
it represents him in his bsst estate. 1t is GER
tainly the only entirely satisfactory portrait OF
him we have seon, and is most cunning coun-
terfeit of the man, as all who saw him IN
Maine in 1878 and 1879, and now see the artist s
nroof of this engraving, will readily acknowl-
edge. The engraving is issued by the Henry

Livermore's Defaulsing Collector.

A law suit, which has attracted much atten-
tion in this county and throughout the state,
has been finally disposed of. We refer to Liv-
ermore VS.. Gordon ct. ais The town of Liver
more brought an action against Robert +. Cor
don, the defanlting town collector Of Liver
more, and his bondsmen, in 1879, to recover on
the bond of $4,000 given by Gordon with
Marcus M. Keith and Martin E. Keith, on the
4th day of August, 1877. The case was tried
before jury at the Supreme Court in Auburn,
in $780, and verdict was rendered for the
plaintiff The case went to the law court on
exceptions made by counsel for the defence.
The exceptions were overruled, and there was
q hearing in damages before Judge Symonds
at nisi prius, in January, 1882. Judge Symonds'
report has recently been received. He awards
the town $2,137.S7 damages-substantiall the
amount defaulted by the collector. The case
abounded in complexity. For one thing, as
will be remembered, Mr.. Gordon's bondsm@
claimed that the bond had been altered and
they supposed they had signed a constables
bond only Many important iegalspoints nave
been involved in the case, and 1t has been Wig,
orously contested At every step. The counsel
were George and Charles E Wing, with Frye,

High School Sessions

Mr.. EpIToR:-In the Advertiser OF last
Wednesday, parent" suggests that the High
School should have an afternoon session in or
der that the scholars may not throng the
streets, and that few boys may learn book
keeping.
AS to thronging the streets, almost every
schoolgirl, and many of the boys, state that
they do their studying in the afternoon. An
average days programme would be as follows;
Start for school at 8, session from $50 till ],
reach home at 1.30, Latin from go till 4.3o,
leaving one and half hours for the other
studies, for compositions, for committing dec
lamations, for music, drawing, sewing,
household duties, errands, and for 'thronging
the Streets An afternoon session would take
one hour out of this precious time for walking
back and forth, SO that the hour he would
gain would actually be an hour lost.
In regard to bookkeeping, majority OF the
scholars are girls, and majority of the rem
nant do not want it; why then should we lose
our afternoon to accommodate the few boys
who do? Why not add a POSTGRADUATE
course, to include bookkeeping, drawing ana
music, and then the girls can profit by the e&-
ira outlay for teachers?
