NORTH BRIDGToN, July IA.
The observance of the 18th anniversary of
Bridgton Academy was completed by recep-
tion last evening at the academy. There were
attractive readings by Miss Robinson of New
York, teacher of elocution in the Academy
music, addresses by some of the alumni, and
marching-North Bridgton does not dance.
The school is reported as in most encour-
aging condition. The attendance at the last
springsterm was the largest since its founda-
tion. For several years before the coming of
the present principal-Mr. Moody-the school
had been in q most unfortunate and languish-
ing state His administration OF four years
has wrought complete and healthful change.
The regular course, which gives sound prepa
ration for college is three years. An addition
al Introductory course OF one year is also to be
added, or rather prefxed.
"A year and half ago was started a library
fund. The library now contains over 800 vol
umes, mainly reference books.
The graduating class numbers "A. OF those
whese intentions in the battle Of life, Il quote
from three or four of tlla orations,) are known,
four go to Bowdoin, and two-young ladies'
to Wellesley.
Work has already begun on the new school
building, which is practically paid for. 1t
will cost $4,000. 1t will contain library, din
ing and recitation rooms, with study and sleep
ing rooms. 1t will measure 39x62.
The residents of this beautiful village are
justly proud of their historic school, and much
of the pleasure and success of these last two
days is due to them.

Perfect Union.

There never was q time since the organiza-
tion of the Republican party in Maine when
there was more complete harmony and
more resolute determination that selfish and
personal considerations shall not be allowed to
govern the action or defeat the unity of those
who have planted themselves on the platform
of an honest ballot, a sound tabulation, a con-
stitutional government and prohibitory and
civil service reform in Maine. The grand
popular and representative uprising which the
Republican convention at Portland is con-
coded to have been, has proved a most in
spring event to Maine Republicans. The
Plaisted leaders counted on division in the
Republican convention, and tangential move
ments in the shape Of independent nomina-
tions. But they observe enthusiasm and
union on this side the house, such as have not
bean parallel since all differences were muffled
in '61. The voters of Maine more and more
keenly feel the disgrace of the recent fusion
State administrations. Never has guber-
national ticket elected more unanimous de-
monstrations among Republicans, and never
was there a more united determination that
the entire Republican ticket shall be carried
next September by round majority.
The Republican platform is no mere rubbish
of denunciation; but it is a platform of posi-
tive principles dear to the heart of "the plain
people, Of prohibitory reform, of
an honest ballot, of protection OF American
labor and American commerce, of an honest
currency, Of economy in administration, of
Judiciary that is not tethered to executive
apron strings, and of national deliverance
from legalizsd harems. The people in the
''back-lots and crossroads" are thinking these
matters over. This year they will vote after
fuller opportunities Of knowing what the is
sues are, than ever before. Never before were
the Republicans of Maine organizing more de-
liberateiy to the end, that every voter shall
know the difference between Republican prin-
irla nd Gan, davinaa ruh aaa ans
sionist pithily puts it, are simply traps to
catch flies.

that the Winnipeg match is off he has got

A Shocking Case.

The Dexter Gazette says that weeks ago, a
young Swede girl living near the quarries in
Monson, had her arm terribly burned with
powder. Recent developments show that the
matter was kept secret from fear of its being
found out that she was burned with stolen
powder In that condition she was put in bed
and lay there six weeks without being moved.
When, finally, discovery of her condition
was made, physicians were summoned, and
they found her literally grown to the bedding,
so that only by soaking her in sweet oil could
she be separated from the bed. The flesh had
rotted from her arm. Strange to say the child
is in fair way to recover.
