Two cases came up in our High school,
last week, not in accordance with the pro-
gressive nature of that Institution. The
savage practice of puncturing school
mates flesh with pins was retaliated by
the incision of the point of penknife in
to the flesh of the offender. Just how far
these instruments of torture can be safely
used, was not demonstrated, but that they
should not be used at all was emphatically
proved. The second offence, though less
heinous, was no more excusable. An eld-
erly gentleman riding quietly along the
street, was made target for snowballs,
thrown with such precision rs not to fail
of their mark. Exasperated he naturally
was, and demanded redress. At present
writing the affair is not settled. But these
ofEenses are born of the spirit of lawltss
ness that pervades the minds of some Of
our boys-boys who are fast growing to
manhood. Public gatherings are annoyed
by these yiOlators OF the peace land Sabbath
evening services are often disturbed by
this disorderly element. Local authorities
should exercise the power invested 10
them, to suppress all such acts of molesta-
ton. Oh. for moral cyclone" TO arouse.
to impress our youths and young peo-
pie with desire to reform-Of their Obli-
cation to society, and to lead them to high
er and nobler views Of life!

Our beautiful river has been looking
winterish of late. The cold snap made
solid ice In Bangor, causing a jam above
the railroad bridge. This broke. causing
considerable damage to shipping, and
since then large cakes, some fifteen feet
thick, have been floating by, and with a
high course of tides has caused some
quaking amongst vessels lying along the
river.
On Sunday last the Methodist church
was very tastefully decorated, specimens

The people have generously remembered
the family of Captain Parker who was
drowned by the sinking of his vessel of
Portland in storm last month. His death
had left them but poorly provided for.
and many have and still are coming to
their help. God loveth cheerful giyer.
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of
the least of my brethren We have done
