Graduates of the Castine Normal School.

The catalogue of the Eastern State Nor
mai school from its establishment iu 1867,
has recently been published. OF the grad
yates thirty-seven have died, two hundred
and twelve are now teaching, one hundred
and seventeen of the ladies have married,
sixteen are engaged as merchants. two are
dentists and one Is principal of Normal
school.
While the Normal school has high rep
utation as preparing tirstclass teachers of
common and High schools, it is also
stepping stone to the higher professions.
OF the graduates of the CaStine school
thirteen have become clergymen, fourteen
are physicians, eight are lawyers, and six
are pursuing advanced professional studies.
There has been advancement in the grade
of principals. Mr.. Fletcher while excel
ling as teacher and in executive ability,
had only Normal school education. His
successor, Mr.. Woodbury., had pursued
the studies necessary for entering college,
when called into the army by the war of
the rebellion; after which he taught in the
Pennington Normal school. Mr.. Richard
son, the present able principal, is a gradu-
ate of Bowdoin college, and before ap-
pointment to his present position, had at
tanned high reputation as teacher in ac-
ademies, especially in preparing young
men for College.
| The catalogue for the last year reports
ninety-five members in the fall term, eigh-
| ty-iive in the winter term and one hun
dred and lwenty-one in the spring term.
The application for good teachers is
more than the school can supply.
! Only portion of those attending the
school pursue the full course of study and
| graduate. A much larger number pursue
partial course, but are thereby greatly
| benefited. 1t is to be presumed that some
who may be good scholars. have not all
the qualities Necessary to success in teach
ing. Some without Normal training will
| succeed, and some come short of success
though good scholars themselves. The
grade of the schools in Eastern Maine has
been raised by the Castine Normal school.
From it's establishment tn the present
time, the school has been highly favored
by its assistant teachers. Its success is
due in no small part to their ability and
faithfulness. ALFRED E. IVES.

Oregon has one great drawback q curse
that the people of Maine know not of. 1t
is the open bar which far too many of the
brightest and best young men pstronize.

but the insane asylum, the aims house and

public morals by preaching down prOhbi-

SWEETNESS AND LIGHT NEEDED
Lewiston Journal.I
Rev. r. A. Farnham late of Cutler Maine,
is out in letter in which he gives his old
parishioners in that border-Iand town in
Washington County a Scotch blessing.
We are sorry that Brother Farnham was
driven from field that seems to need culti-
vation. and we trust that if the Old Testa-
ment has proved failure in that apparent
ly somewhat bibulous community, the
New Testament may be tried by some
other of Wesley's disciples who can illus
trate the pOwerfulness of sweetness and
light in a generation according to Brother
Farnham) of vinegar and darkness. 1t is
to be hoped, however, that the uncon-
scious cerebration of indignation has given
us picture out OF proportion or OF mis-
taken perspective; for we should regret to
believe that SO good a man as Brother
Farnham undoubtedly is should be SO
abused as he says he has been simply for
doing John Baptist's work in Wesley's
fashion.

The past week has been quite lively
one among the different orders in town
Tuesday evening the Masons had public
installation of officers and large number
of invited guests were present, notwith-
standing that the travelling was 50 bad as
to be actually dangerous. A bountiful sup
per was served. and after this remarks
were made by Revs. Mr.. Richards Of Deer
Isle, Mr.. Wright from SO. Deer Isle, and
others. 1t was voted the best time of the
kind that they had ever had. The same
evening the Union meeting of Good
Templars was held with Western Light

ly number were in attendance there also,
and it goes without saying that it was
enjoyed. for these meetings always are.

Home Lodge of Good Templars furnished
a clam chowder treat in return for fruit
and candy treat given some weeks ago by

were present, and several of them contri-
buted to the entertainment The lately
purchased Estey organ was put in requisi-
tion and added much to the interest of the
occasion. A new bible was received, a
gift from lady in Boston. for which the

was overhowed, and passing stopped till
the tide turned, while the bridge at this
place, known as the mill bridge, had nearly
three feet of water over it, and was packe
with ice cakes, which had to be cut up and
removed to render passing safe. At the
Landing several buildings were in danger
of being carried from their foundations
w. Smiths store and Goss ( Smalls store
set over the water front and the ice was
packed in by the tide so that it came near
taking the supports from under them. AS
the waves would strike in shore they shook
the whole buildings. A dwelling house
near by was deserted by its occupants in
expectation that it would fall, but fortu-
nately the tide turned before any serious
damage was done, and the wind, hauling
in soon after, carried the ice out.

Devoid ot Deceucy.

Pbenix is fast gaining the reputa- ton of being an unfit place for virtu- ous people to tarry in. The columns of filth that have been published in the papers of that city during the past six months would not have been sanctioned in another town in the territory The two morning papers ID particular have vied with each other in uneartbing all of the misiOrtGnes that befell unfo. tunate women, and the sickening details were dragged be- fore the public with the apparent en- dorsement of the community. The ast disgIaceiul and criminal act on the part of the press is the damnable article in the Republican, in which 8 young lady who was well known for many years in Tombstone and Bisbee, was made the target for the pencilings of low mind for the sake of the few nickles which its publication might afford Its author.
 The facts Of the case are simply those oi similar cases occurring daily, and which are no concern of the pub lie, and not in any sense, affairs for publication.
 Dr. Darlington married Miss Lillie Ham in Phenix on Dec l7th, as the following telegram will show:
 PHESIx, Dec I9.
 $. c. BAGG, PRosPECToR :-Dr. Dar- lington and Lillie Ham were married here Dee l7. K. H. UPTON.
 The article in the Republican held the wife up to the public gaze as a depravei character Practicing deceit upon her parents, and the hus- band was represented as fend whose black heart had ruined the life of his future companion in liie's joys and sorrows.
 It might be well to explain that MT, Upton was a resident Of Tombstone for ten years, aud that MT. Ham and family resided here for about the same length of time. MT. Upton had been friend of MT. Hem and had seen the daughter grow from child into wOmanhood The interest that he took in the affair is perfectly under stood by those who know the friend ship existing between the family and Mr. Upton, and to announce to the friends of both parties that a barrier had been placed against any future eause for GEkiHi remarks, was the object he had in telegraphing that fact through the PRosPECTOR to the many friends and aequsIntances of the par ties concerned, who will wish them a prosperous and happy future. For the man who penned the low thoughts of his depraved mind, they will wish no better fate than would befall him did he reside in Cocbise County.

Pope Plus TX was a VI fason.
New York Times. l


 Masons in this city are mildly in terested in the cable reports of the commotion in the French Chamber of Deputies over the statement of Presi- dent Floquet that Pope Plus TX was & Freemason.
 A worn copy of the Voice of Mason " has been found, in which the story of the expulsion of Plus TX from the order was published. The story is as follows;
 At the semi-annual meeting of the Grand Lodge of Masons, Scottish Rite of the Orient, of Palmero, Italy, on the 27th of March last, Pope Plus TX was expelled from the order The de- cree of expulsion was published in the official Masonic paper at Cologne, Germany, and is preceded by the min- utes of the lodge in which he was initiated, and is as follows:
 "'A man named Mastsi Fe rretti, who received the baptism of Free masonry and solemnly pledged his love and fellowship, and who after ward was crowned Pope and King under the title of Pic TX, has now cursed his former brethren and ex- communicated all members of the Order of Freemasous.
 H Therefore, said Master Ferretti IS herewith, by decree of the Grand Lodge of the Orient, Palmero, expelled from the order for perjury
 "The charges against him were first preferred in his lodge at Palmero in 1865, and notification and copy there of sent to him, with request to at tend the lodge for the purpose of an swering the same. To this he made no reply, and, for divers reasons, the charges were not pressed until he urged the Bishops of Brazil to act agressively toward the Freemssons. Then they were pressed, and after regular trial, a decree of expulsion was entered and published, the same being signed by Victor Emanuel, King of Italy, and Grand Master of the Orient of Italy.

A BIG FAILURE.

SAN FRANCIsCO-Lusk & Go, the cannery firm, was attached yesterday afternoon by some of their heavy creditors and their business is closed. Among those attaching are the Bank of California, S65,O0e, sather & Co S20,000. Strauss & Co also attached, being heavy endorsers for Lusk. At tschments now sum up to sl65 900. The failure will affect many fruit growers throughout the state. The failure is caused by outside speculs- tions, the principal of which were the purchase of orchards near Marysville, and the establishment Of can mak- ing factory.
