NEW SCHOOL UNIONS.

State Department of Education An
noupces Hancock County Unious.
The 3ast legislature passed an act to
provide 5or expert supervision Of all schools
of the state, by combinations of towns,
such unions to be named by the State
department OF education.
Under the former law, towns themselves
could form unions, and this left many
towns without neighboring towns with
which unions could be formed. The State
department has preserved the old unions
in many cases, but others have been dis
solved for the purpose of taking in other
towns that could not be conveniently
classed otherwise. The new unions be-
come operative July next.
Following are the unions in Hancock
county as announced by the State depart
ment:
Amherst, Aurora, clifton, Mariaville,
No. 21 Plantation, Otis, Waltham.
Deer isle, Isle au Haut, Stonington.

Curtailment of Train Service.

: One immediate effect of government op-
Grafton of railroads is the curtallmeDt of
passenger service to free the lines for the
speeding up of freight service. Many
trains have already been withdrawn from
competing lines.
The only change affecting Maine so far
decided upon is the withdrawal of the
estate OF Maine Express" between Port

Maine Central and Bangor & Aroostook
