The Reforn, sshool.

The annual report of the officers of the State
Reform School will be soon presented to the
Governor and Council. During the past two
years the institution has adopted mechanical
department for the instruction and discipline
OF the boys committed to it. Heretofore all
the work done By the boys, outside of the
work about the house and farm, has been the
drawing of cane into chair seats, from which a
revenue of nearly $4,000 was derived during
the year 1883. The last Legislature appropri-
a'ed $1,000 for the construction and CONTINENT
OF mechanical shop where two classes of
eleven boys each now work two hours per day.
The machinery and tools are OF the most ap-
proved manufacture and under the instruction
of Mr.. I'll. ii. Houghton of Auburn. The
young men have acquired considerable skill
and very creditable display OF their manu-
features has been sent to the New Orlea q
Exhibition. The products of the shop will
hereafter yield quite revenue to the institu-
ton. AT the close of the school wear there
were 105 boys in the institution, the same
number IS In 1888 During the year thirty-one
boys were allowed to 60 out of the institution,
and the same number was admitted, making a
total of ITO that have been sent there since
the school was established. OF the boys that
left the institution last year twenty-eight were
allowed to go on trial, one was discharged, one
iudentured, and one remanded. OF those en-
tering twenty we're committed for larceny,
four for truancy, Two for common rnnaways
two for vagrancy, two for assault aud one for
violating a City ordinance. During the year
there has not been case of sickness among
the boys, nor have any escaped from the inst-
tntion. In their report the trustees will make
several important recommendations, among
which will be the Introduction of Sebseo
water, the addition of steam heating appar-
atus 80 as to properly warm the building, and
will also urge the adoption of the family plan
as guaranteeing better reformstory results than
the present system.

The present month 49, 600 Methodist churches
throughout the country are celebrating the
event. Yesterday was devoted to the centen-
NAL celebration at Chestnut street church. In
the morning DR.. Bsshford preached on the
history of Methodism; in the afternoon on the
principles and progress of N.ethodism; and in
the evening a Methodist mass meeting was
held. Large audiences were present through
out the day, the audience in the afternoon be-
ing especially large. We need not report here
the wonderful facts about the growth of Me-
thodism which were presented in our tele-
graphic dispatches last week.
In the evening the choir rendered beauti-
full anthem finely and led the audience in old
fashioned hymns throughout the services
Prayer was offered by G. Fl. Baker; Geo. L.
Kimhall spoke upon Methodism and Reyivals;
J. B. Donnell upon Methodism and class meet
ings; Mrs. n. M. Humphry on Methodism
and woman; f. B. Clark on Methodism and

spoke upon Methodism aud Holiness; M. G.
Palmer on Methodism and the Chestnut street
church; Mrs. j. f. Bashford on Methodism
and reform, and Hon. j. j. Perry on Method
ism in Maine.
The papers and speeches we're full of inter-
est. A special thank-offering fund was raised
amounting to between 5000 and $500, which
will probably be increased to $500 in all. The
money goes to the Preachers Aid Society and
the Maine Conference Society and such other
benevolent objects as the donors indicated in
their gifts.
The exercises closed with the benediction by
Rev D. B. Randall of Kent's Hill.
