On last Saturday night we had very
severe frost which killed many vegetables
that were exposed.
Mr.. j. Edwin White Of Gardiner was in

Work on the large dam and water works

Hon. II. N. Heath and Mr.. II. N. Tidd

the High School here left for his home in
Easton on Saturday to spend his vacation.
The Caribou High School closed on Friday
with the graduation in Clark's hall, when
very fine urder and the subjects were handled
In a very brilliant manner by the scholars.
Prof. Knowlton, the principal and the
town both have every reason to be proud Of
Hon. S. w. Matthews of Caribou, accom-
panied by his wife and daughter, left for
Augusta on Monday, where they will re-
side In the future. The many friends of the
genial Sam" will regret his leaving us with
his estimable wife, and it is safe TO say that
none OF the young people would be as greatly
missed as Miss Hattie. A young lady OF
great ability, fine talents and fne character.

ated at the High School on Friday and her
subject knowledge is Power" was handled
In remarkably brilliant manner, she in

PANIC AMONG THE SETTING HENs-HoN.
PELEG CHANDLER.
May 28th the county commi ssioners met
some representatives Of the Grand Trunk
Railroad at Cobb's Bridge, New Gloucester,
to decide which course to take in regard to
the crossing at that place, which has been
complained of as dangerous. There are
three ways to remedy the difficulty, either to
put in a fag-man TO warn travellers of APP
preaching trains, put up gate. or cut away
the hill which obstructs the view of the
track. The conference lasted several hours,
but no decision was reached. and the matter
is now In the hands OF the county commits
si0ners. Ever since trouble about the eros
sing began, all down trains have whistled
with such prolonged and HneArthly screechas
that babies have been frightened nearly into
fts. invalids robbed Of needed rest, and set
ting hens scared from their nests. The
Cobb's Bridge people are the chief sufferers
from this noise, aud would be glad to have it
abated. a
Hon. Peleg w. Chandler, who lately died
In Boston, always kept up an interest in his
birthplace New Gloucester), and recently
made valuable donation of books to our
public library.

The Cncnmher,s Version.

A far son Of Sweden was swinging his hoo
In a cucumber patch tOther day
As bright was his face as the blossoms agsow
MID the iow-lying leaves In his way,
Hope whispered him surely natering tae
sweet promise gave light to his eye
While with voice quite As clear a. the pipe OF
quail
He sang ain tho Sweet by-snd-by."
The sun from the wee golden chalices drank
The dews, and magical spoil
Seemed possessing the simuous vines; from the
rank
Growing leaves a weird echo did swell,
Some pixies down there In the dim aisles OF
green
Inspired, no doubt made reply
To the gardeners song, and the midgets unseen
Seemed to say in this swede By-and- By
What full revelation was here; 70 our eyes
The future was open and clear.
In crisp. juicy slices the ripened fruit lies
On the table; the gardener draws near;
He safes his desire his 10y shows n chinks
la his cheeks and his chin. then. oh, myl-
All. yes, we all know the connections aud kinks
There will Do in this Swede by-and-by.

Student Life In Germany.


We find in the twenty schools of Ger
MANY some a, 600 students, of whom over
100 are foreigners, the Russians leading,
closely pressed by theSwiss. Austrians, and
Americans in numbers that do not vary far
ffom 200 for each nation. As might be sup
posed, the largest towns contain the largest
institutions. The modern university, like
the Medieval, appears to demand the multi
plicity of industrial life. The University of
Berlin numbers over 5000 students, those
of Leipzig and Munich more than 5000
each. To resist this tendency towards the
distinctively urban foundations, favored
to the utmost by States which they pecu-
liarly represent, the institutions of the
smaller central powers and those less fos-
tered by the pride of dynasty, exert them
selves to excel in some one specially, IN
which effort they are often aided by tradi-
