A Good Dictionary for Two Cents.

dictionary containing the definitions of
10000 of the most useful and importan
words in the English language, is published
by the DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Schenec-
tady, n. Y. While it contains some advertis-
ing, it is complete dictionary concise and
correct.
In compiling this book care has been
taken to omit none of those common words
whose spelling or exact use occasions at
times momentary difficulty, even to we'll
educated people. The main aim has been
to give as much useful Information as pos
sible in limited space With this in view
where noun, adjective and verb are all
obviously connected in meaning, usually
one only has been inserted. The volume
will thus be found to contain the meaning OF
very many more words than it processes to
explain.
To those who already have dictionary,
this book will commend itself because it is
compact, light and convenient; to those
who have no dictionary whatever, it will be
invaluable. One may be secured by writing
to the above concern, mentioning this paper
and enclosing two-cent stamp.

Another w. & Q. r. R Scheme.

There is said to be movement ON foot to
re-organize the Wiscasset & Quebec Com
pany, with the ultimate plan of making it
standard gauge and extending the road
farther north. The proposition is that the
present bondholders relinquish their hold
ings in exchange for new bonds of the re-
organized corporation. Then the gauge is
to be widened and two routes for extension
of the road will be considered. One is by
the way of Augusta to Oakland where con-
nection will be made with the Somerset
railroad to Bingham, thence extending the
road to a connection with the Canadian Pa
ciie road. The other proposed route is to
the way of the Sebasticook & Moosehead
road to Harmony, and from thence pushing
on for connection with either the Cana
dian Pacific or the Bangor 4 Aroostook
road. 1t is claimed that New York capital
lists are back of the scheme and that they
really mean business. But we have heard
such talk before.

Mr.. A. M. Fariow, principal of the
Thru street school, this city. was ar
rested yesterday at the instance of Mr.
w. e. Detlor, who chharges that Mr..
Farlow unduly punished his twelve
year old son, William, on the 9Th in
stant.
The hearing of the case was before
Mayor Meisenhelder. The defendant
waived examination and was bound
over to the Grand Jury of the April
term of Common Pleas Court, for that
body's disposal.
The cause of this trouble wes the pass
ing of note during school hours by the
little Detlor boy. Mr.. Far ow caught
the boy in the mild offense and, it is al.
legged, punished him about the head
with too much severity, causing the lad
an illness and his parents much discom'
fort.
