at the Pastors Union.
What was it?'
81 had been working and talking to
the boys about gambling, and they
finally turned all the cards in the camp

THE MoNHEGAN SHEEP.
Animals Has Secured Food and
Shelter for Them.

The directors Of the Maine State Society
for the Protection of Animals, at their
monthly meeting yesterday. concluded the
case of the MonhegRn sheep. About 80
years ago, Moses Startling, well-known
man IN this region. associated with others,
put two small fiocks Of sheep on Monhegan
Island. This lonely island, about Is miles
at sea from Boothbay, is the location of a
well-known light and the home of about 40
people. The idea of Startling was that the
sheep could care for themselves on the
island. Such proved TO be the case, and in
30 years the two small flocks have in
creased to about $50 They are entirely
wild and have received no attention, ex-
cepting that annually men have gone out
and driven them into a pen, where they
were sheared and the lambs marked. At
present the owners of the sheep are d. M.
Davis and Elizabeth Startling Of Monhe-
gan Joseph Starting OF Cumberland, Josiah
Startling of Cape Elizabeth, and Peaks
Island man whose name is not ascertained.
One OF these owners has not seen his sheep
for 10 years. 1t was alleged some time
ago. and is probably true, that the sheep
suffered severely In the cold weather of
winter, many of them perishing, especially
mother sheep with lambs. The Society
for the Protection of Animals took the
matter up this year. and Mr.. e. N, Perry,
their agent. has just effected settlement
that will ensure protection to the sheep.
The owners have erected shed Sc by 18
feet at cost of $3.50 for the sheep. and
agreed to supply them with hay this win
ter. The owners have done this under pro-
test. believing, as they say, that the sheep
will not use the shed or eat the hay, pre-
ferring sea weed and kelp.

Portland, j. e.. Hanson of Waterville, C..
B. Stetson Of Auburn, j. e. Littleiield Of
Bangor and others were prominent in the
work of organizing. There had previously
been Teachers Association in Bowdoin
College, before which Professor A. s.
Packard gave an address at Freeport in
1887, and there had been county and town
associations, but no permanent state edu-
cati0nal association. The new association
became at once an active influence. The
legislature gave it 5000 in 1868, and in 1869
$500 TO aid in It's work. This association
exercised en- excellent influence in behalf
Of the advancement of our school system,
but its death warrant was signed when. in
1875. steps were taken to form a purely
professional organization of teachers. and
the State Teachers Association was organ
ized at a meeting In Lewiston, February
and 8. 1876. In 1882 the Maine Education
al Association ceased TO exist.
Meanwhile the Maine State Teachers
Association had been started in 1875, and
this, at the meeting in May, 1880, at Water
vile, changed Its name 10 the Maine Peda-
gogical Association. This has been a
Gourishing organization ever since.

OBITUARY.
Nathaniel Hatch johnson,

Ndtudulcl ndtcH OOuusOus
Nathaniel Hatch johnson, who died in
Westbrook ON the oath inst. was citizen
Of Gorham for more than Is years, and is
remembered for his strict integrity, kind
and am'able disposition. and conscien-
tiousness in all the relations and du-
ties of life. He was native of West.
brook, and the last of three brothers, Gar
diner. who died seven or eight years ago,
and Rufus, whose death occurred few
weeks ago. being the other two. The
greater part of Nathanieps life was spent
in Westbrook. He lived on the ancestral
homestead, on the Sac0 road, until about
40 years of age, and afterwards near by in
house built by himself. until he moved to
Gorham, nearly 80 years ago. 1t is an In
teresting fact that when, two or three
years ago, he returned to Westbrook to
spend his last days with his brother Rufus
at the old homestead, after an absence
from the house of more than 40 years, to
his great qualification there was given him
for his occupancy the room in which. as he
expressed it, she first saw the light" and
that in that same room at the advanced age
of S4, again, like a child. he ''laid him
down to sleep" and peacefully closed his
eyes forever on the light which he first saw
there. Though widowed and childless In
these last years, everything was done for
him that kind and loving hearts of near
relatives, who attended him, could prompt
and their willing hands could do; and the
consciousness that he thoroughly appreci-
ated these attentions and was as grateful
as a child for them all, must be constant
comfort to these surviving friends. His
funeral occurred on Monday last, the ser
vices being conducted by Rev. George W.
Reynolds, pastor of the Congregational
church of Gorham, of which Mr.. Johnson
was for a quarter of a century worthy
and faithful member.

gone down, and the patrolmen and surf
men were expecting an uneventtul night.
Nothing worse had happened during the
day than the drifting ashore of two
capstan bars. No one knows whence they
oomo
