In our list of injured in the Kail road acci
dent on Tuesday we gave the name of George
Shepard as being wounded in head and leg—
slight—he was wounded either that day or
the day before in Jewett's SawMill, Gardiner,
and had hit crutches with him on the train.
The train that met with an accident on Tues
day afternoon was twice interrupted on the
road below Gardiner by cows on the track.
The train stopped each time and the hea ts
were driven off. There seems to be an unu
sual number of animals now on the track.
The owners of such live stock should have a
special care at this season of the year.
The damage to persons and property by
the railroad disaster on Tuesday was not
ucar so greut as w as at first feared. Only
one passenger car was injured to any extent
—No. 20, a new Maine Central car, which
will be repaired in the ear shop in the city.
The smoking cur will be repaired in Water
ville. No person was dangerously injured.
It was Miss Tinkham residingon State street,
and not Mrs. Tinkham, who received some

Supreme Judicial Court.
No. 303, Joseph Chandler vs. George
Mosher, was tried yesterday lorenoon. The
action is brought upon a witnessed note of
hand given nearly 13 years ago. The de
fence, supported by the (left’s affidavit as re
quired by the rules of court, und by his te*ti
niony on the stand, was that he never signed
the note. Ilut after hearing the whole < ne
the jury thought he must have forgotten the
fact, and they gave the ptf. a verdiet fur the
amount of the note and inter--t. Heart for

No case ready in the afternoon, and the J
court adjourned to nine o'clock this morning.
free Hand Drawing.
Here is something that every man who
works with tools greatly needs. Free hand
drawing has for its object the training of the
iyu to see correctly. Heretofore our schools
have only attempted to educate the brain;
they have wholly neglected the h ind and eye.
without the training of which there can he no
successful execution. We observe that the
agents and master mechanics of the various
manufacturing corporal ions in Lewiston is-u, !
a circular advising all mechanics and maim- j
faeturers who could do so. to attend the kc
turcs on free hand diawing, given by l'rof.
Woodman at the Teachers’ Institute w hich
was held in that city last week. Many did as
they were advised.
There can be no question that every per
son, especially one who works with tools,
would be greatly profited, in dollars and
cents, by thorough drill in free drawing, such
as Prof. Woodman has only time to indicate
in the Institute. It lies at the basis of all the
most successful mechanical drawing and de
signing; and even if one neither designs nor
draws, he can. if trained in free drawing, as
all children may be, learn to use tools in
much less time and to use them better.
l’rof. Woodman’s exercise come at 11
o'clock in the forenoon at the Teachers’ In
stitute now being held in Meonian Hall.
Trackers' Institute.
The sessions of the Teachers’ Institute for
Kennebec County began at Meonian Hall,
Monday afternoon, agreeably to the notice
which had been previously given. The Con
ductor of the Institute is Prof. F. A. Allen,
of Pennsylvania, a veteran and most success
ful worker in the field of common school ed
ucation. He is assisted by Prof. J. S. Wood
man who was formerly Professor of Mathe
matics in Dartmouth Obllege, but has for
many years had charge of Drawing in the
Chandler Scientific School, connected with
Dartmouth College. During the sessions of
the Institute he will give instruction in Free
hand Drawing, a branch of study which will
probably be required to be taught before long
in the public schools of this State, as already
required in some other States. Prof. Allen
is also assisted by C. B. Stetson, Supervisor
of Androscoggin County. All the exercises
of the Institute are open to the public. Par
ents are especially urged to attend. The fore
noon session begins at 9 o’clock; the after
noon session at 2 o’clock ; the evening ses
sion at 7 o’clock. Each evening of the In
stitute, which continues until Friday night,
mere win ue uu auuri'ss, wrgminn^ ai n
o’clock, ami without charge. The first hour
of the evening session is devoted to the call
ing of the roll, with “sentiments" in response,
and to the discussion of questions from the
(Juery Box.
On Monday afternoon the Institute was or
ganized, and Prof. Allen gave an address on
the theory and practice of teaching.
On Tuesday forenoon Prof. Allen gave a
lesson on the course of study, and also one
on primary arithmetic. Prof. Woodman gave
Ins first exercise on the elements of free-hand
drawing, embracing “positions, directions,
and divisions." In conducting these exercises
he used dots and crosses and explained the
proper method of conducting the exercise by
training the hand and the eye. The exercises
concluded with spelling.
In the afternoon Prof. I). M. Wnitt of the
Dirigo Business College, Augusta, gave a
lesson on the elements of writing, after which
Prof. Allen took up the subject of elementary
grammar, llis first point was to teach chil
dren to converse; second, the correction of
false syntax in the school room and play
yard ; third, to require written requests in
the school room, explaining the method of
conducting them; fourth, oral composition,
in which the pupil is required to produce the
facts of that which is recited; fifth, written
compositions describing pupils in school and
places and people with which the children are
acquainted, and concluding with the subject
of letter writing.
The concluding exercises of the afternoon
were on school management, by Frof. Allen.
In the evening there was a lively discuss
ion of questions from the box, upon various
topic* touching the management of schools and
methods of conducting recitations, participat
ed in by Prof. Allen, Johnson. Stetson,
Wuitt, Park man, and others.
The first hour of the fori noon Wednesday
was occupied by Mr. Stetson in a presentation
of some of tlie leading things to be observed
in reading, enunciation, articulation, accent,
inflection, emphasis and modulation. Exer
cises in vocal gymnastic* were given, such
as could be practiced l y the whole school in
concert. It was shown how the correct ac
cent of all words might be secured. Special
attention was called to the rhetorical pause
for indicating emphasis; this is usually to be
pn ferred to a greater stress of voice.
Arithmetic was next taken up by Professor
Allen, who first indicate d how much of Arith
metic should 1». taught in the public schools,
and what part should be rejected. He would
teach the Properties of Numbers, Notation
and Numeration, the four fundamental rules,
something of Compound Numbers and Reduc
tion, omitting all the useless tables and use
less portions of tables—those never used in
business—Fractions, Percentage—embracing
Interest. Discount. Loss and Gain, and Men
suration. These portions of Arithmetic are
used in business and should be thoroughly
taught, the portions not used, should not be
taught, ns now, to the exclusion of other
things which are not of use.
Prof. Woodman now gave his second exer
cise in drawing. lie worked with lines pre
senting 1, Uniform motion; 2, Right lines; 3.
Even Line*; I, Parallel Lines: 5, Lquidis
tual Lines; 0, Point*; 7. lints and Shades;
8. Drawing; Simple Geometrical Figures,
lie insisted that the left hand should be train
ed with the right hand.
I ne forenoon exerci-’es ■: won spoi

In tla- aft. i n . m the .uhj t of writing was
presented by I’n 1. Waitt, of the Cummer
til College.
Prof. Allon took up Primary Grammar, re
view ing tlie point* lie gave yesterday and add
ing others. As before state !. I.e would make
Aids a work of application, in l oth spoken
and written form and not a philosophical study
of our language.
The afternoon exercises closed with a pre
sentation of Primary Geography by Prof.
Alb n. Tie would fir-t give the pupils u
definite idea of direction—the points of the
compass; second, nn idea of distance by ac
tual measurement; third, a general view of
the local landscape, including hills, valleys,
waters, and products; fourth, be would pro
ceed to take up wliit they bad seen by topics,
making collections ot natural productions
and classifying tl ■ sum •. Spelling should be
t.iuglit in connection and writing.
In the evening Mr. Stetson give a lecture
on the bread mud butter tide of education,
or the bearing ot education upon productive
lalior. lie said ho was hopeful enough to l.e
looking forward to the mclcnnium.bul thought
it would be characterized not only by spiritu
al but by material prosperity*. The education
of the school room should be such us is de
manded by practical life outside of the school
room. In this matterwe should look forward
instead of backward. Our civilization is
changing and revolutionary, and our schools
should be of the saute character, lie called
attention to the agricultural side of the ques
liou. Whether the boys will be retained up
on the old farms will be determined by how
the work will be done upon them. Our fath
ers in tin* early settlement of the State ex
hibited pluck and muscle. Under our mode of
agriculture the land has deteriorated and ren
dered unproductive, and homesteads deserted.
Pluck and muscle won't restore these lands.
What will? The common school ought to
answer the question. He showed the great
change which lias taken place in the manufac
ture of all useful articles by machinery, and
the competition now existing in all articles
of consumption and use, and argued that
skilled and intelligent labor is needed, and is
called for to meet the change in our civili
zation. Our common schools utterly ignore
these things. lie next proceeded to recom
mend the course of study to he pursued.
The common schools should not undertake
to teach anything exhaustively but thorough
ly. The natural sciences have been kept
from the schools by devoting too much time
to studies that are entirely useless and not
needed ill practical life. Everything that
will not stand the test of common sense should
be kicked out of the school room. He would
teach botany and chemistry to those who in
tend to become farmers; to mechanics, free
lmnd drawing based upon geometry. The
proper cultivation of the hand and the eye j
will lie found essential in the great struggle !
for bread and butter. Mr. Stetson concluded I
bis lecture, which was eminently practical j
and suggestive, by urging the importance of
a proper education of children in all those j
branches which will lit them for the duties of
life and the demands of the times.

DR. SCHESCK ADVISER C0X8UMPT1VE3
TO GO TO FLORIDA IS WINTER.
ITavino for the last thirty-five years devoted my whole
time and attention to the study of lung diseases and con
sumption, 1 feel that I understand fully the course that
ought to be pursued to restore a tolerably bad case of
diseased lungs to healthy soundness. The first and most
important step Is, for the patient to avoid taking cold;
and the best of all places on this continent for this pur
pose. In winter, Is Florida, well down in the btato, where
the temperature Is regular, and not subject to such varia
tions as In more northern latitudes, ralatka Is a point
I can recommend. A good hotel is kept there by Peter
man. Last winter I saw several persons there whose
lungs had been badly diseased, but who, under the heal
ing influence of the climate and my medicines, were get
ting well.
One hundred miles farther down the river Is a point
which I would prefer to l’alatkft, as tho temperature is
more even and the air dry and bracing. Mellonvillc and
Enterprise are located there. 1 should give a decided
preference to Mellonvlllc: it Is two miles from river or
fake, and It seems almost Impossible to take cold there.
The tallies in Florida might be better, and patu nts com
plain at times; but that is a good sign, as it indicates a
return of appetite: and, when this is tho case, they gen
erally Increase in flesh, and then the lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, Hibernia, Cl re in Cove, and many other
places In various parts of Florida can be safely recom
mended to consumptives in w int< r. .My reasons for say
ing so are. that patients are less liable to take cold thcro
than where there Is a loss even temperature; and it is
not necessary to say, that, where a consumptive person
exposes himse lf to ’frequent colds, he is certain to die
shortly: therefore mv advice is. go well down into tho
State, out of the reach of prevailing east winds and fogs.
Jacksonville, or almost any other ol the localities I have
named, will benefit those who are troubled with a torpid
liver, a disordered stomach, deranged bow els, sore throat,
or cough; but, for those whose lungs are diseased, a more
southern point is earnestly recommended.
For fifteen years prior to 1&0J1,1 w as professionally In
Sew York, lioston, lialtimore, and 1 hiiadelphia every
week, where I saw’ and examined on an average five
hundred patients a week. A practice so extensive, em
bracing every possible phase of lung disease, has enable d
me to understand the disease fully; and hence my caution
In regard to taking cold. A person may take vast quanti
ties of “ Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic, and
Mandrake rills,” and yet die if he does not avoid taking
In Florida, nearly everybody is using Pchenck’s Man
drake l'ills; lor the climate is more likely to produce
bilious habits than more northern latitudes. It is a well
established fact, that nativ* s of Florida rarely die of con
sumption. especially those of tho southern part. On tho
other hand. In >ov England, one-lliird at least of tho
population die of this terrible disease. In the Middle
States. It does not prevail so largely; still there are many
thousands of cases there. What a vast percentage of
lif.» would be saved If consumptives were as easily alarm

.Mv plan is, to give my three medicine# in accordance
with the print-d directions, except In tome cases whero
a l'r< cr use of the Mandrake I'lllaisncccMuy. My object
1-, to i ive tone to the stoiuach, — to get up a good appe
t,ie. It is always a good *ign when a patient begins to
g:uw hungry: I have hope*ofauch. With a relish for
I *h1, and the grauiication of that relish, comes good

by a healing of the luiua,— th* n thecouj.li loosen#and
abates, the creeping chills and clammy nulit sweats no
lunger prostrate and annoy, and the patient gets wtil,
pr«»v ided he avoid* taking cold.
Now . there are many consumptives who have not tho
means to go to Florida. 1 he question may bo asked. Is
there no hope for such ? Certainly then- is. My ad\ico
to such is, and ever has been, to stay in a warm room
during tlio winter, with a temperature of about seventy
d -r* ts. which should be kept r* guiarly at that point by
means of a thermometer. I • t such a patient take his
exercise within the limit* of tho room by walking up and
down as much :.s L.s strength will Permit, In order to
keep up a healthy circulation of the blood. 1 have cured

will relieve vou In two hours. It you would obviate tho
etfect of a change of water, or the too free indulgence in •
fruit, take one of the Mandrakes every night, and you

London.
London, Nov. l(i. It is announced thi*
evening that the Austrian ministry have com
municated with the English Cabinet, urging
them to declare a policy of war. Baron Von
lieust. the Austrian Premier, it is reported,
has ottered the aid of Austria in the i vent ot
war between England and Russia. It is also
rumored that Italy has signified her intention
of standing by England.
The following is the substance of the cir
cular sent to the different European powers
concerned in the treaty of 16o(’>, by Prince
Gortschakoff, the Russian minister of foreign
affairs :—The Russian government cannot al
low the security of Russia to d< pend upon an
arrangement which lias not stood the test of
time, or that the Empire should be placed in
peril by a respect for an engagement not ob
served in good faith by up-cr contracting par
ties. Russia therefore declares that she is no
longer bound by the treaty of 1S3C, so far as
restricting her rig ts and sovereignty in thi
ll lack Sea are concerned; but with tl(g de
claration of her abrogation of the treaty. Rus
sia consents that the Sultan of Turkey shall
enjoy equal rights in that sea.
Special to the N. V. World.
A member of ti e English government in a
Conversation this morning concerning the in
tention of the administration in regard t.i
Russia's demand that the l’aris treaty be ab
rogated said :—Thu point of fact is that Rus
sia a-ks nothing unreasonable, nothing wo
should be unwilling to concede. It is useless
to fi a lit against destiny. Russia is certain
ultimately to accomplish all iier designs.
Why should we by endeavoring to thwart her,
involve ovrselves in a distastruus conflict.
However, notwithstanding that Russia evi
dently counts on the peculiar situation of Eu
rope at this moment as securing her a single
handed fight with Turkey. Ii is by no means
entain tiiat smli a conflict would re tilt in
Russia's triumph. Turkey is not weak, le r
railways have been constructed with a view ot
defence, and they add greatly to her stragi tic
advantages. Her army is capable of extraor
dinary deeds of valor. Her fleet, although
not so numerous, is more powerlul than tiiat
of Russia. The army of Russia numbers to
day 42f>,<JOO men on paper. They an- poorly
armed and imperfectly equipped. Russia is
not yet ready lor war, nor will she be for two
years.
The World's correspondent at Tours sends
the following—Gen. de Pallailines has ordered
a corps of 23,000 men to advance from Sem
aus along the railway to Chartres and then
move southeast to Tours, affecting a junction
there with the left wing of the main body of
the army.
The government here is in possession of in
formation tiiat Prince Fred'k Charles army is
advancing to reinlorce the Grand Duke of
Mecklinburg Schwrine, now in command at
Toury. The Prince cannot possibly reach
there until the 23d inst. About one-half his
forces had readied Troges, 120 miles from
Toury, on the 13th. The rear of his army
has reached that place. Ilia scouts arrived at
Menaurs on the 13th, but were captured by a
detachment of Mobiles.
Measures have been taken by the French to
impede the advance of the Prince from Men
aurs to Toury. The Duke of Mecklinburg
Schwrine's lorce consists of Von der Tauns
corps of 12,000 men, the 4th, 17tli and 22d in
fantry divisions of 34,000 men, and 4000 cav
alry. Gen. l)e Palladines’ army contains a
