The question of the location of the next

hem meeting, list that cannot be duplicat-
ed in this country, including as it did Pres.
Elliot of Harvard, Pres. Tucker of
Dartmouth, Pres. Gates of Amherst,
DR.. Hill, superintendent of schools
of Massachusetts, Pres. Stanley Hall of

man of Colby, DR.. Sedgewick of Massa-

small importance. Being the oldest and in
many senses the leading educational associ-
alton in the Union, its meetings are ATTENDED
by representatives from many of the states

sequently it has had a large share in shap-

For these among other reasons the locati, n
Of these gatherings has become matter Of
considerable rivalry. As Maine has net

A Brewer livery man has lately been en-
joying the pleasures of hog raising to sa-
tiating degree. He kept them in the rear
of the stable until the neighbors in that vi
cinity all kicked at the stencil, and were
not to blame either, then he carried the pigs
out in the country and turned them into a
clover patch he owned. Since taking them
there the pigs have taken great delight in
trespassing in neighboring corn and garden
patches, doing more or less damage and
causing lots of trouble. One man was "out

o'clock hunting for the owner of the Offend
