The returns received at Augusta from
the various schools in Maine show that in
this county the town of Waldo had the best
attendance, getting 60 per cent. The
greatest amount raised per scholar was in
Belfast, 1853 There was one schoolhouse
built, in Liberty, at a cost of 1927. The
value of school property in the county is
S9l,75o. Belfast is one of the places in
Maine having ten or more schools all re-
ported in good condition, is one of six
cities where every schoolhouse is supplied
with a flag, and one of eight cities where
all the SchOOlhouses are in good condition
The fourth and closing entertainment in
the course under the auspices of the Bel
fast Improvement Society was given in the
Opera House, March 18th, by the Boston La
dies Symphony Orchestra before one of the
best audiences of the season. 1t was a fine
concert and is warmly commended by all
present The preceding entertainments,
in the order named, were by May Parker's
Pickanninies, the Metropolitan Grand Con-
cert Company and Marc, the Prince of
Magic, the latter drawing a good house.
The course as whole was an excellent one
and while the society has not made any
thing, we are glad to know that the receipts
have been sufficient to meet the expenses.
