The Old York Records.

one OF the most important petitions now be-
lore our Legislature is that signed by members
OF the Maine Historical Society requesting
State aid in publishing these most valuable
repositories of early history. At late meet
ing OF the Historical Society, a committee was
appointed to consider the matter, and one Of
the number visited Alfred and examined the
Old books. The result was a report setting
forth the necessity of their immediate public.
cation. In their present condition they ar 9
liable to loss at any time, but If not lost, will
eventually be worn out with use Massachu-
they have proved of great interest to historical
studen g as well as of value to the legal frater-
nifty and the public. 1t is of importance to the
people of the whole State, that these records
containing SO much of value should be publish
ca, hence the State is asked to take certain
number of copies Of the earlier volumes, be-
ginning in 1647 as it is impossible to publish
Them altogether by private enterprise. The
copies thus taken, after reserving enough for
State purposes, will be distributed to tho
counties for the use of their various educa-
uonal institutions The work should be done
IN the most careful manner; the obsolete
words and quaint photography, preserved SO
that readers may be sure that the arguments
lose nothing by publication. It is certainly
TO be hoped that the Legislature will listen
Iavorably to the petition now before'it and SO
preserve these valuable records to posterity.

Edward Roach was arrested yesterday after
noon by Officer Langmaid for posing counter
felt money. Roach has been out of the State
prison about six months where he was sent for
similar offence. Previous to going to the
State prison Roach had passed a counterfeit
twenty dollar bill at the store of W. q. Bar
rows & GU on Portland rect. Mr.. Barrows
had kept the bill as curiosity.
Al ut ten days ago Il ,ach went to Mr.. Bar
rows aud wanted to redeem the bill saying
that man In New York was guilty of passing
the bill and did not dare to come to Portland
as long as it was in Mr.. Barro~s' possession
The latter knew that Roach himself was the
man who had swindled HIM, but by the advice
of Marshal Bridges he let Roach have the bill
Roach then went to the store of John O'Neil
Oh the corner of Clark and Salem streets, and
rendered the bill in payment for goods. Mr.
ONei took the counterfeit unsuspectingly and
gave Roach the change. With the money
thus obtained Roach went to New York and
was gone about week. He arrived back
yesterday morning on the Boston boat, and
| was arrested as described above. The United
| States officers took charge of Roach and he
was taken before Commissioner Rand, who
bound him over to appear before the grand

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
To the Editor of The Press:

10 the Edtt0r OF The Press.
AS a parent Interested III The school question,
and not in personal criticisms OF school super
intendents or grammar, ask that the school
terms shall be arranged SO that twelve years
instead of fourteen years shall be the average
age Of adm ission to the High school Also
that two years Of the High school term shall be
devoted to fitting boys for the mechanical and
useful arts and sciences, giving the school an
industrial rather than a literary character.
1 think it time the old humbug, that the
learned professions are the most honorable,
should be exploded. Let us in humility exam
inc our system OF education, and ask ourselves
why the five and ten thousand dollar salaries
paid to designers, chemists, dyers etc., in the
mills OF this State, and neighboring States,
should not be paid our own boys instead of the
men educated in the schools of northern Eu-
rope.
The ''iberal? professions" are full, although
some of the most eminent men in them, are
not graduates OF colleges Don't bend all the
school money toward fiLting men for college.

TROUBLE AT ELY COPPER
MINES.

For some time the financial affairs
OF the mining company have not been
in q sound condition, and for the
last two months they have failed to
pay their help. About ten days ago
there was general strike, and threat
enings of violence on the part of the
miners. They captured the store
and appropriated the goods, and
were so belligerent that it seemed
impossible to quell their rlotous
proceedings by the officers of the
law. The situation was made known
to the governor and he at once issued
orders for the militia to proceed to
the place and compel submission.
Accordingly the Rutland, Burling-
ton, st. Adams, Montpelier and
Bradford companies repaired to Ely
and in the early morning of last
Saturday surprised and captured the
town and the angry strikers. A
posse of civil officers were present
and arrested the ringleaders, and it
is hoped no further trouble will oc-
cur. The mining company is pre-
pairing to pay the miners a portion of
their dues. Since the above was
written the miners have been releas-
ed, many have left for other mining
sections. 1t is probable that the
mine cannot be successfully worked
at the present low price of copper,
and that it will be abandoned at
present
