A catalogue of the State College of Agri-
culture and Mechanic Arts, has just been
issued, which contains complete list of the
graduates from the first class in 1872, and
the occupation of each. The total is $50.
An inspection of the record is interesting, as
affording the result of the first ten years OF
the institutions existence. Naturally one OF
the first notes the number of farmers put
down. There are twelve out of the whole.
Teachers, including several professors, lead
with tweety-nine. Civil engineers come
next with twenty. Of surveyors and draughts-
men there are fifteen. Those engaged in
purely mechanical occupations, as machinists,
/ manufacturers or mechanical engineers,
numbering thirteen. OF physicians and
druggists thert is the same number. Law
claims eight, while the remainder are scat
tered among the varied duties of life.

/ The Commercial says the Bangor & Pts
cataquis Railroad Co. has placed about one
third of the extension bonds. one wealthy
/ firm having subscribed for S25, 900 of them
at par. The company has taken M the sec
ond mortgage of 5000. 900, and the same has
been discharged. The balance of the bonds will
be offered from time to time as required by the
progress of the extension of the road from
| Blanchard to the Lake. Contracts for the
grading of the extension will probably be
closed and work commenced thereon by the
middle of May. Its freight business shows
a steady increase over that of last year. About
5000 bushels of potatoes were brought out of
Piscataquis county by the road in the month
of March.

The Observer says: Three fellows hired a
team in FoxcrOft to ride about town, Monday
afternoon. How long they remained in town
| is not known, but at about 5 O'Clock a tele-
gram was received from Dexter, representing
that three fellows were there from Dover
with a horse badly used up, which showed the
effects OF terrible usage, as after reaching
there it commenced bleeding at the nose and
was so completely exhausted as to be unable
to stand up. Dexter officers arrested the
talking brutes, and took charge of the dumb
one. 1t is feared the latter is permanently

The Times says large number of people
were in attendance on the trial of the boys
arrested for breaking and entering the store
| of A. S. Grassy on Sunday the 18th inst, at
Bath. Smith was bound over and Roderick
was held, and Campbell, Saddler and Peroi
discharged.
The Bath Times says the question is often
asked respecting the trial of Sergeant Kelley
of Fort Popham. A question of jurisdiction
of the State court over Kelleys case is aw ait.
| ing a decision by the full bench in May.
Should the law court decide that the State
court has jurisdiction over Kelley's case
| (Which is not very probable) he would take
his trial at Bath in August. But the full
bench will most likely decide otherwise, and,
in that case, Kelley will be tried by court
martial or by a court of inquiry.
NJ W. Knowles, who it will be remembered
was connected with the Madison Pond Slate
| Quarry during last winter, and who disap-
peared so suddenly about two months ago,

some Skowhegan citizens, is now in custody
| The first that has been heard from him since
his sudden departure was last week when il
was found that he was at Bridgton, where he
had been concealed for a number of weeks
in his father in-law's residence.

There is a prospect that a new telephone
company will be established in Maine. A
new transmitter has been invented by an At
tache of the U. S. Signal Service, which il
said to be much better than either the Blake
or the Edison transmitter, and this new trans
mitter is to be used by the new company
which is to stretch its wires from Maine tc
Chicago. An agent of the prospective com.
pany is now in the State looking over the
ground.
