This was, doubtless, the first attempt ever made to establish a school in Orono. It was not a success. Where neither teacher nor scholar understood the

language of the other, the task of teaching may be supposed to have been difficult. In addition to this difficulty, a French priest, Ruthven, who controlled the Indians, interfered. It was not for the interest of the Roman Catholics to have the Indians taught by Protestants. On the fifth of September Wm. Lit- tle left the school at Rumfeekungus, and on the thirteenth, having been informed by the priest that the Indians had a grand council at " Passadunkee," on the eleventh, and "concluded not to have their children schooled by an English school-master ; they were jealous that their children would be taught a different religion," he abandoned the idea of re- newing it.
Your orator has given you a sketch of the history of the great chief from whom your town derived its name, but he has said nothing about his hand-writing. Orono is not supposed to have been a great writer, or reader, even, but he had a signature. In my ex- plorations among the archives of Massachusetts, in the Secretary of State's office, some years ago, I found a letter, signed by Orono and other Indians, asking for the removal of the truck-master, Jedediah

Preble, and the appointment of Jonathan Lowder. It is evidently in Lowder's hand-writing. The truck- master was a government agent to furnish the Indians with supplies at their cost, and receive their furs in exchange. The " Forbes House," a little south of the Penjajawock stream, now destroyed, was the truck-house. It was the first frame house in Bangor. The letter stated, as reasons for Preble's removal, that he delayed furnishing the Indians with supplies, and they got drunk and did not carry the supplies to the Indians when they did get them; that Preble lay abed until ten o'clock, and if they spoke to him to trade with them he went away a whole day at a time.
Orono subscribed his mark, which was a fac-simile of the seal; Nextambawit's was that of a lynx; Jo- sephsus's, that of a large silver brooch ; Alsonsa's, of two stone implements crossed; Nexteumet's, of a ter- rapin ; Pierre Sock's, of Pomola, perhaps [ the spirit of Katahdin]; Arexes's, of, it may be, Majahundi [the devil]. I have these fac-similes in my hand. I believe the letter was not effective to secure the change of truck-master.

ORONO CENTENNIAL.
Your orator has related some anecdotes of notable characters. He has one of Van Meter. Here is another of that sable citizen, which was told me re- cently by a former fellow-citizen of yours, now an eminent Judge of the Supreme Court.
Van Meter, as well as Antoine, had done service in the cause of his country against Great Britain, but in the war of 1812. He was taken in a privateer and thrown into Dartmoor prison. He was liberated, however, and several years after the war was over found his way to Penobscot. He first made his ap- pearance in Hampden, and being, or pretending to be, a good Baptist, made the acquaintance of the eminent Baptist clergyman and educator, Rev. Otis Briggs, and of him purchased a cow, for which he gave him his note for some $40 or $50. With this acquisition he made his way to that romantic part of your town called " Hogtown," and settled in the neighborhood of the celebrated high old aromatic family of Dudley, with bright prospects of rural felicity.
Elder Briggs had lost sight of his debtor for years, but at length, being in charge of a school in Orono.
157

he learned that the circumstances of Van Meter were such that he could collect his debt. Unfortunately his note was outlawed. A new oral promise, how- ever, would at that time revive the note, and this the elder undertook to get. Meeting the old man in a tavern, one day, he called his attention to the note.
" What note, elder ?" he said, musingly.
" You recollect ; the note you gave me for the cow."
" Ah, yes, 'pears to me I did give you a note once." " Won't you pay it ?"
Van Meter reflected a moment, then arose and went to the window, from which, at a long distance, was visible a grave-yard.
" Elder," said he, " won't you step here ?"
The elder stepped there.
" Elder, you see them grave-stones ?"
" Yes."
" Well, when they speak I will !"
James Dudley, the head of the distinguished house of that name, was the only one of the family, I be- lieve, who had a title of distinction. He early acquired the prefix of "Jumping "-" Jumping Dud-

ley," and he earned it. He was one of the "Kings of the Raft" in his younger days. At one time he had run a raft to Bangor, and, being the lucky owner of a four-pence ha'-penny, which he had found, he landed, and, without making his raft fast, ran into a shop to get " something warming." While swallow- ing the beverage, he was told that his raft was adrift, and seeing it had made off about twenty feet, he gathered his strength, ran to the water and made a leap towards it, but finding on the way that he might not fetch, he made a new spring, and, to the astonish- ment of everybody, planted his feet firmly upon the raft! That is the way he earned his title, and often and again, thereafter, his ears were regaled in the street by the boys with the refrain-
"Jumping up, O, Dudley, O, Found a fo'-pence ha'-penny, O, Turn'd about And spent it out, Jumping up, O, Dudley, O."

The exercises were then closed (at 11:50 p. sr.), by the audience singing the following song, written for the occasion :
THE OLD CHIEFS.
BY REV. HENRY C. LEONARD.
- Tune-Auld Lang Syne.
We sing the chiefs of auld lang syne: Madockawando grave- The Tarratine in Philip's time; Megone, the Hend and knave; Wenamuett with Kindly fare ;- All braves who bent the bow In autumn's hunt or winter's chase; But must, Rica: Oruno.

ORONO CENTENNIAL.
In modern days of Atteon, Or Neptune's later reign, No tales are told of brave deeds done, Or sung in noble strain. Our thoughts are turned to other days, The days of strife and woe, Relieved by calm, pacific ways Of pale-faced Orono.
We sing the chief, the grand old chief, The chief of auld lang syne, Whose years of rule on memory's leaf Are years of bloodless line. We sing the chief, the grand old chief, The chief of long ago,- The corn still sound in memory's sheaf,- The high-browed Orono.
