Meeting of School Superintendents.

In response to a call from State Superin-
tendent Stetson the School Superintendents
of this vicinity met in Memorial building in
this city Tuesday forenoon and held a very
interesting and profitable session. Four
teen towns in Waldo county, and Bucks
port, Castine and Vinalhaven were repre-
sented.
The meeting was entirely informal and
was devoted to discussion of matters of in
terest to School boards. The suspension
and discontinuance of schools, transporta-
ton, the respective rights and powers of
towns, school committees, superintendents,
and truant officers, We're discussed. Some
OF the points made by Mr. Stetson were new
to many Of those present. For instance
money raised for free high schools cannot
be used for common schools, or vice versa ;
hence a town raising given sum for free
high school must expend that sum and no
more, for that purpose. A school committee
may, according to law, discontinue a school
for term not exceeding one year, but the
same process may be repeated indefinitely
it is not necessary to re-instate or for the
town to permanently discontinue, school
after the first years suspension. Transpor-
tation of scholars is not compulsory; school
committees may provide for it according to
their own Judgment. Scholars between the
ages of ) and 16 should be obliged to attend
school Is weeks, in the first part of the NUM-
cipal year.
Several other points of minor Importance,
brought out by questions asked, We're dis
cussed and advice given.
of a course of study for rural schools, as ex-
planned in his recent circular on that sub
ject.
The question of holding a summer school
for teachers at Northport Campground was
presented and discussed. 1t has not vet
been decided whether or not such school
will be held there this year.
The meeting adjourned at 1890 O'Clock,
and was pronounced by Mr.. Stetson to be
one of the most enthusiastic and profitable
he has held this season. He expressed him
self, to a Journal representative after the
meeting, as being especially pleased with
the intelligent interest in and apparent care
for the best interests of the schools shown
by all present. In the afternoon Supern-
tendent Evans in company with some of the
visitors visited the schools, to observe the
working of the new methods of teaching.

j. W. Knowlton, agent, reported as fol-
lows:
Mr.. President, Officers and Members of the
Belfast Humane Society,"
In presenting this, my second annual re-
port, l am not quite satisfied with the
amount OF work done, seeing, as [ do, the
vast amount of work that ought to be done :;
but, as you all know, unavoidable crcum-
stances have prevented me from doing more
[ am well satisfied that the sentiment is
growing in favor of our work, and what we
have been able to do in the past two years
has prevented large amount of suffering
among dumb animals.
The notice which was printed in our local
papers in relation to blanketing horses in
our streets, has grand good effect, and was
the direct cause of having an agent appoint
ed in Liberty village; hence, | feel that we
ought to keep right on in this noble work,
and ask every member to pay their annual
dues, so that we can have a little money to
work with, to help make our work felt and
effective this fall and winter.
My work for the past year consists of the
following: there have been AZ complaints
made to me, all of which have been attend
ed to- | have driven 265 miles directly in
the work, besides quite number of miles
driven and walked around town, looking
after supposed cases of cruelty. l have de-
strOyed II old horses and other animals.
[ have received S1565 from the county.
That is all the charge l have made as they
cannot pay anything only for direct travel
and serving warrants. [ have not made any
prosecutions, as there have been no cases
where l could get evidence enough to make
sure case. Respectfully submitted
j. w. kNOWLToN, Agent.

HIGHLAND LIGHT, May g. The schooner
Daniel b. Fearing, coal laden, from Phila-
deIpbia A pri n for Boston, grounded in the
gale at > 80 this morning off CahoOn's Hol-
low. The wreck was discovered very soon
after 10y the life-savers, and instantly the
Gfeboat was run out and an effort made to
reach the vessel.
The easterIy gale, which was hurting in a
tremendous surf upon the beach, made it a
very difficult task. Capt. Cole and his gal
liant crew, however, made persistent and
heroic efforts to reach the vessel, and soon
after ) O'clock this morning the hfeboat got
clear of the surf and was well under way to
the scene of the wreck.
The Fearing lay in a dangerous and eX-
posed position When the boat drew near
it was seen that the was making clean
breach over the hull, and it looked as If the
vessel would rapidly break up. Capt. Cole
discovered the crew in the rigging, and,
after long struggle, managed to get his
lifeboat under the lee of the vessel. 1t was
long and difficult task to get the crew
from the wrecked vessel into the lifeboat,
but this accomplished finally, and at
daylight Capt. j. q. Clifford and the crew
of the Fearing nine all told We're landed on
the beach.
They were at once taken to the life saving
station and given all attention. Capt. Gift
ford said he left Philadelphia April 81.
Tue Fearing carried cargo of 1900 tons of
coal, which was consigned to the General
Electric Company of Boston. The vessel is
five years old, having been built in Belfast,
Me-, in 1891. The original cost was S64 900.

just received more than mile on the beach
Nobody was allowed to put any thing into
