The historic ground in Pemaquid is
now held in fee simple by the state Of
Maine to be maintained hereafter by
the State as a public park for the in
struction ana amusement w the people.
The tract was the first land in America
upon which the English set foot to
take possession and il contains numer-
Gus historical relics Of great value. 1t
was secured for the State through tn"
valuable efforts Of the Pemaquid Monu-
ment Association which was organized
BY Hon. +. w. Farley and others in
1874. ana of which Henry w. Hilton i
the present president and r. X. Sewall
is secretary. Mr.. Sewall says if Maine
people possessed the same interest in
historic matters that Characterizcs tn"
people of Massachusetts. Maine would
distance the mother state in such mat
tiers. As it is. the Maine public offers
little encouragement for historic re-
search although we have the most
ancient history Of any Of the states oi
English origin. Cape Small Point was
the first land in this country upon
which English eyes rested.

From penobscot county it is reported
that the poplar trees in the forests are

ago, that as the catcrpillars which in

setback on account of the freezing
nights, this spring, and such wide
spread destruction Of eggs. that the
other kind Of caterpillar that favors
the poplar trees, especially for forage.

From the Daily Item, Jan. f9.

The mission now being conducted by
Father Burke, of New Yo city, was we'll

At present there are Eve of ts representatives

tinue their lacors here for few weeks. The
mission in Sumter is 10 last one week. In
speaking of bis work today, Father Burke,
said ''In the year 1858 FIVE Catholic priests.
with Father Hecker as their leader, ali Of
whom were converts to the Catholic Church,
started society which is known aa the
Paulist Fathers From the beginning ,neir
work has been 10 preach the truths of rell-
poo TO the people of this country. One OF
their chief works has teen TO explain Catho-
lie teaching to non-Catholics; and every
where words of praise and appreciation bave

their preaching is free from abuse aud con-
troversy"

But these MISSIONS, given throughout the
United States, prove clearly the falsity OF TINS
accusation Catholics and non Catholics are
found everywhere, whether in large cities or
