j. Berry has lately returned from visit
to Portland, Old Orchard and Harpswell.
While away he visited the State reform
school, where he spent three years as an

One Of the most notable was the removal

locked in every night. Now all sleep In
the dormitory each occupying bed and
everything is neat and tidy. A very great

plraeing about it, bnt now the sick room
is nee and cozy. We believe Supt Far
