treasurer, Fl. P Thompson, showed the re-
ceipts of the year to be $1175O, of which

nous letters, and no attention was paid to
them. He cited the various cases he had
attended to, including cruelty to horses, un-
derfeeding of cattle and horses, improper
protection in stables and on the street, etc.
In one case the agent went into another
town, distance of - miles, and found the
cattle complained of well cared for and
properly fed. The complaint was found to
have originated in neighborhoOd malace. The

AN ARBOR DAY OBSERVANCE.
A Tribute of High school Pupils to Rev
j. M. Leighton.

A Tribute of High school Pupils to Rev.
j. M. Leighton.
The senior class of the Belfast High
School paid highly appropriate tribute to
the memory of the late Rev. James NJ
Leighton on Arbor day by planting tree
on the grounds of the Free Library and
naming it the Leighton tree" At O'Clock
the members of the class marched to the
Library grounds bearing handsome young
Norway maple, gaily decorated with rib
bons of the class colOrs, green and gold.
Each scholar wore bow of the class cOlorS,
and the spade to be used in setting out the
tree was also decorated. The class was ac-
companied by their mascot, Harry French's
Newfoundland dog "Prince,' who proudly
wore his masters class colors. After turn
ing the sod near the northerly corner of the
library lot, the pupils took turns in remoy-
ing the earth from the hole in which the
tree was to be placed, and the exercises pro-
ceeded, as follows:
Song, "Come, let us plant tree Glass
"Arbor day is for the study Of Nature,
''The happy class of 1901
j. Almon McNIahan.
"Plant a tree, poem by Lucy Larcom,
Hope, Alice Heal
Joy, Ethel Strout
Peace, Rena Black
Youth, IneZ Carter
Love, Clara Hamilton
Arbor Day Poem, Charles Harmon
Then followed the planting of the tree,
which was held upright by Miss E. NJ. Pond,
librarian of the Free Library, while each
scholar placed shOvelful of earth. The
following selections were read:
''The SycamOreS," by Whittier,
Abbie Q. stoddard
'The Trees,' by Lucy Larcom,"
''Save some trees, by Van Dyke,
Amy Stoddard
''Tree Planting" poem, Frederica Cook
Selection from Bigelow Papers,
Ralph Gould
"Fruit in old age by Van Dyke,
Frank Keene
Maple tree poem, arranged and read by
Percy Keen
Naming the tree, Leighton Tree,
'A Blessing on our tree," from Whittier's
poem, the ''WoOd Giant, Alice Poor
Closing Song,
''Beside the old stone library
There stands a maple tree"
The sentiment expressed in this tree
planting is most fitting in every respect.
The cause of education as exemplited in
the public schools and free libraries had no
truer friend than Mr.. Leighton, and the
pupils ever found in him faithful friend
and safe counselor. The young often sought
and followed his advice in the choice of
books. A student and admirer of Nature
he took great interest in the forest trees,
and loved to watch the unfolding of the
leaves as the spring advanced. The maple
was one of his favorites. The Belfast High
School class of 1901, in planting a tree to
the memory of James NJ. Leighton did an
act of three-fold significance, and expressed
symbolically most worthy sentiment.

Grove Cemetery.

The improvement to be seen from year to
year in Grove Cemetery is most noticeable,
and satisfactory to all who have friends
resting there. There are now more than s.
600 graves in the cemetery, which covers an
area of over 20 acres. OF the 13 acres in
the latest addition perhaps one-fOurth is
now taken up, and the lot owners are grad
ing and keeping their lots in prime condi-
ton. Everything is done under the super
vision of the Cemetery Trustees and the
Superintendent, James F. Fernald. These
officials see that lot owners conform to GER
tain reasonable requirements, and beyond
this each owner is free to arrange and care
for his own lot as he sees fit. There is no
rubbish heap in sight. Every part'o the
yard is neat. The common lot, on which
the city's poor are buried, is well kept, the
stones are erect and the ground nicely sod
ded. The weather this spring has been
favorable for work in the cemetery, and the
place was never in better condition at this
season. The avenues, which aggregate ten
miles in length, are all raked and cleared of
leaves and the winters accumulatiOns, the
lots cleared of leaves, and many have been
moved. The improvements for this year
include fence along the front from the
present fence to point near the south
western corner 1t is to be uniform with
the present fence and will contain one gate,
making three entrances, through large and
handsome gates, into broad and well-kept
avenues. Under the present system of
management of the finances the cemetery is
self sustaining The money received from
the sale of lots pays for the improvements,
and the fund is increasing. One very de-
sirable improvement proposed is to supply
the cemetery with water. AS the water
would not be on during the winter the pipes
could be laid near the surface and the ex-
pense would not be large. The plan is to
pipe all the principal avenues with small
pipe and have perhaps SO faucets conven-
iently located about the grounds, and
enough garden hose to allow sprinklng any
part of the grounds. The Water Co. offers
liberal terms for water rent
There were 81 bodies in the tomb this
spring. The Superintendent. James F. Fer
nald, has an office and storehouse in the
small building across Belmont avenue from
the main entrance.

Augusta. The five were, Mrs. Rice, widow
Of A. S. Rice of Rockland, Mrs. Buck, wife

to Japan, Mrs. Ham, widow of Major F. A.
Ham Of Russell, Kansas, Mrs. Dunn, wife
of r. W. Dunn of Waterville, and Mrs. Dud-

an interesting occasion, as in all human
probability they will never all meet again
in I this life. Col Buck and his wife have
been four years in Japan, and this is his
first vacation. They are due in Japan in
May. Mrs. Rice and her daughter have
spent about a year travelling in Japan and
China. Col. Buck only made a short visit
here, and then went to Foxcroft to visit his
sister; and there he had slight attack OF
grip, from which he is now recovering.
They have now started for Boston and
Washington, and from there they go to San
Francisco and Japan. Mrs. Ham is at pres
