That a message he conveyed by the Secretary to the Governor and Council, informing them that lion. Charles A.

The Secretary of State is hereby directed to keep a detailed account of all stationery delivered to each department and is forbidden to deliver to any other pet son. Provided tliut this resolve shall not prohibit the usual amount of blanks to uicil bers and stationery for committees of the Legislature and for the use of the Secretary of the Senate and Clerk of the House. Print ed under rule. The resolve to facilitate the settlement of the public lands of the State coming before the Senate on its passage to be engrossed. Mr. Thom ah proceeded to explain the pro visions of the resolve and to urge its pas sage. He suid that when his eyes fur the first time rested upon the Legislature of the State the question then before the august body for consideration was the winding up of the Lund Office. It has engrossed much of the the time of the Legislature ever since. Once it was constitutionally abolished, but sprang up again under the law. The land once pos sessed hy the State has all been sold, and it now only ow ns the fees from 72,000 acres, which the settlers hold not by deed but by certificate. The Treasury of the State docs not derive one cent from this arrangement. The chief condition which was to benefit the State was the performance of the road labor. He submitted an amendment to the resolve so that no interest should he required upon the notes given on receiving the land. If inter est was to be required it would necessitate the continuance of the Land Office. Mr. Thomas urged that the bill had boen care fully considered and drawn, so that the rights of all were carefully guarded, and that it was the best measure fur closing up the Land Agent’s office. Mr. Hahkkk spike in favor of the resolve. He explained the history of the State land-. In 18215. all of the wild lauds, after they had been surveyed, were divided between Maine and Massachusetts. Aroostook county being thus opened, and its value becoming known, it w as necessary for roads to be built. To bring about any action relative to the lands, concurrent resolves of the two States Were necessary. Hut a large portion of the State, which belonged both to Maine and Masaaehu setts, were not laid out into townships, and from 1813 to 1850 the *|ieaker and Gen Small were engaged in surveying this wild land. Then it was thought host for the State to purchase .Massachusett s share of the prop erty, and it was dune in 1853, the State pay ing §3(52,500. Then the State went to work and gave it all away to railroads, but with ti e provision that if any tract was found sultahlc and was wanted hy settlers it should be sur veyed, roads built ami put into the market at not more than per acre. This matter ha* been considered, he said, hy the Committee pn State Lands and State Roads, and legisla tion upon the matter is necessary now. If there was no Land Agent he wanted to know who was to find out about the lands wanted for settlement? Re ferring to the resolve, he said that some thought it was not just to the old settlers who had [laid 50 cents per acre and who had com plied with all the requirements of the State Hut he thought it about a fair thing since there was not now the choice in lands there was some years ago. The Senate then adopted the amendment of Mr. Thomas and the resolve as amended pass ed to be engrossed. The resolve 19 as fol lows “That the I.and Agent be authorized to con vey by deed to all persons who now or here after 'may legally hold certificates of land from tile State, either directly or by assign ment, the land described in such certificates, upon such person* furnishing satisfactory proof before January 1, 1880. that they are the sole owners of said certificates, that no other person has any legal or equitable inter est in the land therein described, and that all road laluir due in payment of said laud lias been performed, ail other settling duties be ing hereby waived. The price of said land shall be 35 cents per acre, without interest, payable in road labor, provided, that nothing herein contained shall authorize any person to make any claim against the State for any ex cess of road labor over and above 33 cents per acre, performed in payment ofanyland." On motion of Mr. Vinton the bill an act to incorporate the Maine lee Co., waa taken from the table. Mr. Vinton said that when be moved on Monday to table the b'll, it was because he tliought it came under the general law for corporations. He referred to the continual number of parties coming before [See seeoud page.]

GoKIIAM L. HoTOTUV, Voman’i* Temperance Hallnt. The National Union Favors It. Chicago, Jan. 17—In view of the state ments which the President and Corresponding Secretary of the Woman’s National Christian Temperance Cnion, have sent out. the follow ing additional statements are submitted to the public: In 1875, at Cincinnati, Mrs. Oov. Wallace, of Indiana, offered a resolution ask ing the ballot for women on the question of legalizing the sale of intoxicating drinks, ami j it was adopted with hardly a dissenting voice by the Woman's National Christian Temper-j ance Union. In 1875, at Newark, N. J., the Home-Protection petition was unanimously adopted by the same society, asking that be fore a saloon could be ojiened in any locality a majority of women's signatures, as well as those of voters, should be required to a peti tion circulated by those wishing to open a saloon. In 1877 a resolution was adopted at Chicago, asking the ballot on the question of license,—its meaning being clearly explained by Mrs. Foster, of Iowa, who drew up and presented It. In 1878, at the Baltimore con vention, it was, “after a full and free discus sion," unanimously voted to open the columns of Our Union (the official organ of the Wo man’s National Christian Temperance Union) to all the platforms and methods of work of all the State W. T. U’s. (with a full nnder standing that live States had officialIv indorsed the Home-Protection idea at their conven tions). But as Baltimore is a most conserva- l live city, and delegates from conservative j New Jersey, New York amt Pennsylvania were out in larger numbers than delegates from more distant and progressive States, the resolution asking the temperance ballot w as voted down by about twenty-five majority. (The general question of woman suffrage has never been even discussed in any convention by those who have asked the temperance bal lot for the sake of “Home-Protection.") The fact ought to lie stated that in the vote above referred to. Pennsylvania, which was almost solid against Home Protection, had nineteen votes, while she ha« organized but twenty W. C. T. Unions, had Massat eusetts (Home-Protection State), which lias 148 W. C. T. Unions had only twelve votes and sim ilar di«pro]K>rtions occurred in several other States. (This resulted from the method of representation, which gives one delegate for each Congressional District). If the work accomplished bv W. C. T. Unions in each State could be detailed it would be found that the States most favorable to Home-Protec tion have been fully a« active in the gospel work, and as helpful to the National Union in planning and executing methods as those States of a less aggressive spirit. The State W. C. T. U. of Maine lias just wheeled into line, having at the late convention, indorsed the temperance ballot. The new Executive Committee of the National W. C. T. C. has a majority for Home-Protection. In view of all these facts, many of our leading women officially connected with the Woman’s National Christian Temperance Cnion feel that injustice is done by the an nouncement sent out bv a conservative Presi dent and Corresponding Secretary without consulting the Executive Committee.

Of the Woman’s National Christian Temper ance Union. fHstc Collge of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts To THE ClIAlKMAN AMI MeHIIEKN OF TIIK Committee on AoKicri.rmi: ami Gentle men oe the Leoialati be. May I ask your attention for ti few moments while we consider the needs and wants of the State whose development and prosperity we all have so deeply at heart. The necessity and value of education all will ndmit, hut how the State college is to benefit our people at a whole, docs not seem to be ap|uirent to all. I admit that the youths of Maine will not. and cannot avail themselves of the privileges of this institution. Hilt, gentlemen, it is the smartest boys (and I use the term buys for short as I would exclude none on account of tex) I say it is the smartest boys that are to be the most valuable to the State, al lowing them to have that culture that will de velop their intellect, and that moral training that shall give their smartness the right di rection. Some hoys are so fortunate, and some so unfortunate a* to have parents aide to educate them, and these w ill mostly take their degrees at smile of the purely scientific and classical colleges or universities, and will make in some instances professional men and in some others professional nobodies. But tome of our smartest boys who have to depend mostly on their own resources and wish to gain a thorough know ledge of those branches which shall enable them to sucess fully prosecute their chosen life-work, w ill avail themavlves of the advantages of this college, where caste is unknown, where to work is no disgrace, and where, while storing the mind with knowledge they are by physical culture ami discipline constantly Imbibing those feelings of self-reliance so necessary to success in any and all of the undertakings of active life; and while his brain is wearied in solving those intricate and perplexing prob lems of chemistry, that challenge his skill and research in the laboratory, he is invigor ated and refreshed by those more wonderful and complicated combinations aud analyses xrhicb are by bis aid and under his supervision being wrought out in the great laboratory of nature, which, to use a slang phrase, “never got» back" on science. And while doing this be la enabled not only to demonstrate the cor rectness of bis deductions but at the same tint to contribute something towards making the pot l*oil while he is doing it, which after all is one of the iikoat important considera tion* of till* lift, for unit'** able to do this all thin#* cl*c arc of little account to one who if compelled to depend on his own re source*. And gentlemen of the Lehdaturc of Maine, when b%* vour wisdom you *h«il have con tribute'll to educate a boy and send him forth into the world with correct principles and correct habits, and eager and competent to impress the same upon all with whom he as sociates. while at the same time imparting the scientific and practical knowledge gained while under such influence as prevails at Oro no, I say when \ou have done this, you shall have conferred upon the State a boon, the re sulting benefit of which eternity alone can unfold: for this influence shall widen and broaden, till like the wave upon the ocean, it shall break upon the thither shore. Why, gentlemen, the money expended in manufacturing, if I may use the expression, a good citizen, is the best investment ever made, for it is one that shall survive the col lapse of Stocks, the failure of banks, and the destruction of floods and conflagration*, and sou might a* well expect to hide leaven in a barrel of meal w ith no result, as to put such a man in any community without a good influence. Only a few years since it cost as much to convict a young man over here in the county of Waldo of murder and mete out to him the just penalty of his crimes, as it would to edu cate for good citizens two young men at Irono. AVhilo an ignorant man may be dear at al most any price, yon can hardly pay too much for one who can and will make his influence for good felt upon all with whom lie associ ates. But we are met with the remark at the very onset, thnt nolle or very few of these students will become farmers. How often and how persistently is this objection urged on every hand as though this, if true, which I do not by any means admit, were a valid reason why the State should withhold its appropriations. Well, now really, it seems to me that it will tie time enough to bring up this objection ten year* hence. Maine needs all the graduates Orono can turn out in ten years as teachers and lecturers, for teachers now-a-davs are not wanted because they know so little, hut because they know so much. We do not expect, nor do we desire thnt all should go upon a farm, but w e do believe that all w ill cultivate more or less land, and that each will be, to a great degree, a light in tlie community in which lie dwells; and a scientific man with his half acre of garden, will demonstrate more facts than the .man w ith the hundreds of acres that many have, who walks in the steps of his grandfather, and w ho like one of Shakspearcs characters, "Wears out his life Much like his master's ass, For his own provender.” For he w ill he able not only to put forth the dry deduction* of science, but will be able also to make a practical demonstration of the correctness of his theory. Another objection to this college is, that tile farmers as a class do not desire the ap propriations. and this is brought forward at all times and on all occasions, as a knock down argument against all State aid. Well. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the agricultural committee, if this is so, and I fear that to a certain extent it is true, it is one of the very strongest reasons thnt can be urged in favor of this appropriation. 1 class myselt with farmers, tor I am a far mer. the son of a farmer, the father of two farmers ami the grandfather of some halt dozen whom I hope to live to see farmers. I am an old man and 1 have no funds to expend in public charities, but I have a duty to per form. and I have responsibilities that I dare not shirk if I would, for my time is pretty far spent, and my whitening locks and wrinkled brow admonish me that what I do for the welfare of those who just a little from this are to fill our places, I must do soon. And it matters not, whether we are in a majority or whether we stand alone if duty calls, ami if the farmers of Maine are as a class opposed in an institution which has for its object and aim the intellectual, social, moral and industrial elevation and welfare of their children, and childrens’ children, and by w hich and through which some of the best men and ablest educators in our State are laboring to accomplish this end, I say if these are opposed to the liberal endowment by the State, of this college, then, sir, there is one more reason w hy public opinion should be enlightened nnd educated to the extent at least of all this college can accomplish. Why, sir, if none were in advance of pub lic opinion, when or where should we see progress? llut for I)ea. Grant, Arthur Tap pan and Mr. Cheever, and others like them, where would la1 the temperance movement? Hut for Wilmot, Adams, Giddings, Hale and others, where the great movement which cul minated in the emancipation of the 4,000,ear as un concerned as if they had never been surround ed with twine. Compared with gill nets, the seine fishing is certainly more humane,—which fact alone should have some bearing with one whose heart is so filled with sympathy, as that of our South Bristol amanuensis. It cannot be a comfortable situation, for a menhaden to be pinned in his element,—his head one side of the net, and his body on the other, with a fine piece of twine in hit gills, torturing him to slow death and if dog-fish or any other enemy undertake to eat him, he has no means of defense, but is held in the place and de voured alive. Does Mr, Poole know that the net fisher men in Frenchman's and Blue Hill bay took more fish this last season, than they have be fore in one season for eight years, and is he aware that they and the seiners fished from the same body of fish? Now if seining drove the menhaden from hit vicinity, why did it not drive them also from that locality? Mr. Poole bravely asserts that menhaden arc scarce. We assert to the contrary, and give statistics to prove the same. In 1873, there were 533 purse fishermen em ployed, and they caught on our coast 429,413 barrels of fish. In 1874, there were 561 fishermen employed and they caught 621,861 barrels. In 1875, there were 771 fishermen employed anil they took 635,771 barrels. In 1876, there were 758flshermenemployed and they caught 709,000 barrels. In 1877, there were 727 fishermen employed and they caught 557,145 barrels. In 1878, there were 682 fishermen employed and they caught 616,851 barrels. In 1877, the fish were in the rivers and bays, and seines were badly torn in consequence, which reduced the catch below what it would have been, providing the fish had hecn off shore, as they were from 1870 to 1870. The catch of 1878 would have been the largest ever known; but the fish were so far off that it took a greut part of the time to go to and from the fishing ground. Formerly, the steamers would leave the harbor at 3 A. M., and at daylight would be on the fishing ground; but this last year it took some of the steamers twenty hours to run from the factory to the nulling ground. Mr. Poole alio asserts that seiners did not share over 8100 to a man. and this statement we will endeavor to correct. We admit that one or two gangs, that started out late in the season from hit place, were not very success ful, consequently, their shares were small. He does not mention, however, that the crew of steamer “E. T. I)e Illois," “from his vicin ity,” shared 8300 to a man, clear of board and all expenses, and upon investigation, he will learn that others did nearly as well. I will also inform him that hit figures do not apply to this part of the town; for we find the steamer Jemima Boomer w itli a crew of Maine men except one, shared over 8030 to a man, clear of expenses. The steamer ‘‘Seven Brothers,” the smallest of the fleet, with en tire Maine crew, shared 8400 to a man, clear of expenses; steamer L. Hrightman shared 8404 to a man, and the smallest share on any steamer from this place was 8193. Lastly, will Mr. Poole inform us why the waters from New Bedford to Point Judith, with forty years of purse seine fishing, is good fishing ground vet, and has he heard that this last year's fishing at Sandy Hook and Long Island Sound was the best ever known. I now leave the subject, trusting that our legislators are too just to attempt to cripple wliat is certainly one of the greatest indus tries of the Stats of Maine. W. C. Thom pso jt.

Last week the farming community were very busy hauling ill their wood, &e. In this community ns in other places, colds, influenza and fevers are very prevalent. The common salutation is “how is your cold?” There have been several sudden deaths in town. Mrs. Alnnsan Dore, a lady about 70, died without warning while sitting in her chair.

It is a resident of Dexter, and a per son who has been above Mispicion, mid mov ing in the higher walks of life. It is said that there will be as much surprise when the person i« made known, a* when the news came that Mr. Barron had been murdered. We understand that this has been traced by the bond that Mr. llarron had in his posses sion. w hich hi longed to him, and which had been called in at Washington, and had been traced ba« r, 127 Mule, well represented.

Full Particulars of the Shocking Occurrence. KELIOIOI N EXCITEMENT THE CAUSE OF INSANITY. .Much Excitement in the Locality. Belfast, January 28. The terrible trag edy which was enacted last Saturday night near Ranlctt’a Corner, Montviile, Waldo county, some eighteen miles from Belfast, excites the deepest interest. It resulted in the violent death of three persons, John Mc Farland and Kalina McFarland, his wife, each aged about seventy years, and George Howell, aged about forty years. Howell, who w as partially insane, fired up on one Alonzo Haynes, and then killed Mc Farland and his w il'e with his clubbed gun, and was subsequently shot and killed by Haynes, while attempting to break into his house. Rowell was a powerful muscular man, weighing over two hundred pounds, who had been insane at times for several years, but was not considered offensive or dangerous. It is said his condition caused by relig ious excitement. A short tittle since he was in Belfast and several persons noticed his peculiar actions and considered him insane. He returned from Belfast Friday. Rowell had married MeF'arland’s son's w idow, and they all lived together in one house with his two children. During Saturday evening some misunder standing and talk in regard to one of the children arose, when Row ell became excited and struck the old man and threatened the lives of the family. He went for his gun while his wife hurried to u neighbors for help and McFarland and his w ife and the children started in another direction for safety. About tin* time Alonzo Haynes, accom panied by a boy, came towards MiF'arland's bouse and met the old man and his wife ami the children on the road, and hurried them towards his house for shelter from the storm and the eold which was below zero. As lie neared McFarland's house he was tired upon by Howell, w ho missed his aim. Turning lie ran hack towards his own house, overtaking the children and followed by How ell who soon overtook the old man and liis wife and killed them both in the road, break ing the old lady's neck, and fearfully injur ing tile heads of both, breaking and destroy ing tiie gun in the attack. Haynes, who had gone ahead with the children, got them safely into his house and the door closed when Howell reached there and broke through the panels of the door, w hen he was shot by Haynes from the inside, the charge striking him in the groin and mak ing a severe wound. Haynes then secured Howell w ith a rope and obtaining a lantern went hack on the road to look for McFarland and his wife, finding their dead bodies a short distance from the house as above stated. Keturning hack for help he found Kowcll dead from loss of blood, and rousing the neighborhood pro ceeded to the care of the bodies. A coroner's inquest was held Tuesday, and a verdict rendered in accordance with the nbove facts. The funeral of the victims will be held Wednesday. 1 The scene at the McFarland house where the dead bodies lay is a sad one. There is much excitement in the locality, and crowds of people are coining and going. The proximity of the seene of the tragedy to that of the Thorndike murder but a few years ago, and which is still fresh in the minds of the people, makes the present horror pecu liarly saddening.

Jjftisrdkuic0us. THr M ATt H HAM It «u about a year liet'ore the tail of Richmond, when lK>th North and South secnu-d tntering to ruin, and a voting lady who had known Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln for years, visited Washington. Site was an exceptionally sensible, warm-hearted, re fined woman gifted with a marvellous voice and a graceful figure, but she w as very homely. She called at the White House, and when she had gone with his wife into a private room, Mr. Lincoln ex pressed his surprise to a friend that sonic good man hail not been lucky enough to marry her.” Adding: “'1/-herself would lie much happier if she were a w ife and mother.” A few moments later Maj. a vol unteer ofitoer. thoroughly respected by the President, and a bachelor, came into the study. Mr. Lincoln looked at hint thought fully. "What are you going to do when the war is over, he asked suddenly. “Seek my fortune, 1 suppose," was the startled reply. “There it is iu that room.” A frank, girlish laugh was heard at the moment. “X'o, you can't go to seek it now busi ness first. Rut there it is.-' That evening there was a reception at the White House. The President beck oned to Maj. C-. “Listen!” he said. A lady, whom they could not see because of the crowd, was singing, in a voice of great beauty and sweetness, some gay song. The major would have moved for ward but Mr. Lincoln detained him, his eyes twinkling with shrewd fun. “Wait a bit,” he said. “Don't look at her face yet.” Presently she sang a ballad with such pathos that the major's eyes grew dim. “Now go. She's as good and true as her song.” The good word of Mr. Lincoln probably influenced lioth parties. In a few months they were married, and the union has proved a most happy one. “I did one wise thing in “(14.' Mr. Lin coln said, nibbing his chin, ns was bis wont when pleased “I made that match.” Youth's I'nriipmiion. BEAR SHOOTING EXTRAORDINARY. The Trinity (Cal.) Journal relates that a party of tonr men recently went on a liear hunt. Approaching a forest the (logs got scent of a liear, and were sent into the forest to drive him out. I)r. Stanley, one of the party, became impatient, however, and entered the thicket himself. The heavy undergrowth made progress slow, but he (ought his way ahead until became to a fallen tree lying in a little gulch. Helping himself along by the limbs he arrived at the upper end just in time to be confronted by a huge grizzly bear. Re treat was Impossible, as it had been with the utmost difficulty that the doctor had advaucod so far; there was no tree in convenient distance, and as the grizzly showed tight, there was nothing left for him to do hut shoot. Taking deliberate aim with his Henry rifle, the doctor fired, and the liear fell mortally wounded. Another load was sprung from the maga zine into the rifle, and the doctor, looking t iward iiis prey, was surprised to see a second bear in the same spot. This he shot also, and quickly reloading, was yet more astonished to see u third bear in the j same place where he had shot the other I two. Agaiu the lever moved and a fresh j charge went into position, and again the doctor looked up and discovered a fourth grizzly coming tow ard him from the same opening In the brush. Whang went the I gun again, and down Went liear No. 4. To make sure of his game, the doctor poured sixteen shots into Uieir carcasses. llis companions, hearing the firing, came to his assistance, and found him on top of the largest hear swinging his hat and shouting lustily. One of the bears was j an immense grizzly, so large that the limit ers could not handle him, and the other j three were good-sized grizzlies, probably about two years old. The shooting of four hears by one man, without ever! changing his position, is somethinghithcr-1 to unheard of even in the most highly col- ored annals of the western wilds. A THEATRICAL MANAGER ABSCONDS. The New Bedford Mercury reports that Clarence Monell, alias Harry rainier, a young man of dramatic aspirations, under whose auspices Pierian Hall in that city was christened Theatre Cotnupte and opened as as a variety theatre, decamped on Tuesday with the receipts of the thea tre, also two gold watches which he had j ordered as prizes for amateurs and which had been paid for out of the funds taken at the box nlhops, also a nice overcoat be-1 longing to Mr. Jerry Taber, doorkeeper at Pierian Hall, also a valuable gold watch and chain belonging to Mrs. Charles P Harding, residing at Xo. 4!» MaxfwAtl street, and with whom Monell had been j boarding; also Miss Nellie M. Hunting, I daughter of Mrs. Harding. Since Tueal day afternoon nothing has been kisnvn n. totiie whereabouts of Monell, Miss Hard ing or tlie property with which they they departed. Monell left ostensibly for Fall Kiver. It apjiours tlnu Monell some time ago matle arrangements with Messrs. An thony ik Sniitli, amusement managers at New Bedford, for establishing variety theatres in that city and Fall River; and then, going to New York and talsch rep resenting himself as their agent, obtained the necessary performers for the enterprise. Both tlieatres have reeeiv.sl a fair patron age. The New Bedford corps are MIW playing on a mittnal benefit agreenumi hoping to make themselves whole.
