Notwithstanding the increased attention paid to education for some years past, the city has not yet succeeded in bring- ing its schools under any entire, complete, and permanent sys- tem, adequate to the wants and ability of the population. In the thickly settled portion of the city the grade system, working its way through many difficulties, has at length been satisfactorily adopted ; and one high school, six grammar schools, two intermediate, and nine primary schools have been provided. In the suburban portion of the city, consist- VOL. II.

· ing of six school districts, the old system has been continued. The war has drawn heavily upon the corps of High School teachers employed here since 1859 ; - of whom, Ellis Spear is now Lieut. Colonel, Nath'l A. Robbins, lieutenant, T. K. Osgood, paymaster, E. T. Chapman, paymaster in the navy, and A. J. Pickard, lieutenant of cavalry; all of whom have found more lucrative employment, some of them wounds, one a prison, and one a grave, in the public service. In the troubles that have succeeded 1860, but little change has taken place in the condition of the schools, though the city rose in the scale of liberality towards them, from the 89th town or city in the State in 1860, to the 23d in 1861.
Some increase of business was this year manifested; es- pecially in the manufacture of lime, which amounted to 899,460 casks. There were, at this time, 35 patent kilns in operation ; and about one-fourth of the above amount . was manufactured in those of F. Cobb & Co. But, as the cen- sus of 1860 gives a very meagre and manifestly imperfect return of this manufacture, we substitute an account of it in the year 1863, when partially recovering from the great de- pression occasioned by the rebellion and the loss of the Southern market. In that year the principal manufacturers were F. Cobo, who burnt 46,777 casks; Cobb, Wight & Case, 25,238 ; Cobb & Colson, 900; Jona. White, 27,197; J. Bird & Co., 25,062; C. W. Snow, 24,779; W. A. Farns- worth, 24,181 ; John J. Perry, 23,486 ; J. H. Wheeler & Co., 22,588 ; A. J. Bird, 19,792 ; Albert F. Ames, 21,260; D. C. Haskell & Co., 19,115 ; William Wilson & Co., 29,386; C. R. Whitney, 19,095; Calvin Hall, 18,226; Joseph Spear, 16,001 ; G. L. Snow, 13,807; S. Gould, 11,038 ; Cornelius Henrahan, 23,518 ; Thos. Lothrop, 10,877; Sumner Whit- ney, 18,007 ; J. W. Hunt, 11,159; R. P. Thomas, 8,909 ; Thos. Walsh & Co., 7,531 ; John Hall, 6,015; B. Clark, 9,352 ; Bowler & Abbott, 6,768; J. S. Wheeler, 9,084; Jona. Spear & Co , 3,388 ; R. Sherer, 2000 ; Henry Howard, 7,263 ; and O. Sherer, 347 ; making a total of 527,193 casks.
The 8th annual Cattle-show and Fair of the Lincoln Co. Agricultural and Horticultural Society was held here on the 2d, 3d, 4th and 5th days of October. The live stock was exhibited on the grounds prepared for the purpose on Lime Rock street, and the other articles in the hall and adjoining rooms of the Pillsbury block. Few animals were brought on, till the second day; when a ploughing-match and procession took place, the streets were crowded with people, the receipts of the society were large, and the Fair altogether successful.

The two last days, however, proved rainy, and in consequence, the address by T. K. Osgood, and the equestrian exercises were deferred. The ox-teams of this city have usually been the most distinguished of any in these Fairs. In agriculture, the census enumerates in Rockland, 47 farms, cash value $200,000; value of farming implements, &c., $4,730; live stock, $17,757 ; animals slaughtered, $3,323; products of market garden, $1,733; orchard, $295; hay, 1,034 tons ; butter, 19,075 lbs .; cheese, 1,700 lbs .; wool, 220 lbs .; and wine, 40 gallons ; besides what will appear in the valuation, Table II. It appears by the returns furnished the Maine Board of Agriculture, 1863, that Rockland exceeds every town of the county, in the number of its horses, viz. : 393, and in beets raised, viz. : 1582 bushels.
The year 1860 is chiefly memorable for the animated and exciting efforts of the different political parties, the imposing mass meetings, the picturesque array and torch-light proces- sions of the Wide Awakes, and the cloquent harangues and addresses, ending in the triumphant election of Mr. Lincoln and the Republican candidates; in all which the people and parties of this city more or less largely participated.
At ten o'clock on the evening of July 20th, the splendid meteor, scen all over the country as far south as Philadelphia, was observed in this city. It appeared here about a fourth of the size of a full moon in the N. W. quarter of the Heavens, passed horizontally round toward the E. at the height of about 20° or 250 with a uniform motion apparently slower than that of a rocket, and when in the S. W. divided into two equal portions, which passed on in the same direction near each other, and, emitting sparks the whole distance, disappeared in the S. E." This, and a small comet in June, followed by another, more splendid, which appeared about the 4th of July in the succeeding year, while they added to the fears of the timid and superstitious, who regarded them only as omens of approaching trouble, were viewed with delight by the admir- ing students of nature, and imparted to the Christian fresh confidence that the same unerring hand which guides these apparently lawless wanderers of the sky on their destined er- rands, will, and does, equally guide cities, States, and em- pires to the accomplishment of His wise and beneficent pur- poses.

HISTORY OF THOMASTON,
CHAPTER II.
MILITARY EVENTS AND ROCKLAND VOLUNTEERS. E
THE original intention of the compiler was to terminate this history with the year 1860; but the events, civil, mili- tary, and naval, since transpiring, have been of so interesting and thrilling a character and so largely participated in by the citizens of Rockland, that some account of those who so promptly volunteered their services and so heroically shed their blood in defence of law, liberty, and the Union, seems absolutely indispensable.
The first note of preparation for the approaching conflict was sounded here on the 8th of Jan. 1861, when, by order of the Governor, a salute of 33 guns was given by Maj. Gen. Titcomb, in honor both of the battle of New Orleans and the occupation of Fort Sumter by the faithful Major An- derson; and when, April 17th, news arrived of the attack and capture of that fortress and the nation's flag desecrated by the infatuated rebels of Charleston, S. C., one burst of in- dignation arose from the whole population of the city. The national flag was soon floating from the rooms of the city government, was saluted by the "Star Spangled Banner" and other patriotic airs by the Rockland Band, and cheered by a crowd of assembled citizens. Deputy Collector Osgood dis- played the stars and stripes from the Custom House, and, with a few solitary exceptions, one sentiment of fidelity to the Union pervaded the city. On the evening of the same day a citizens' meeting irrespective of party and of which the editors of both the Gazette and Democrat acted as secretaries, was held at Atlantic Hall, when eloquent speeches were made, and a series of patriotic and government-sustaining resolutions adopted. A few days later, no less than 20 large and beautiful flags were raised in different parts of the city ; numerous gatherings were held, and national salutes fired. On Tuesday, the 23d, another large citizens' meeting was held at the Court Room, at which the City Council was in- structed to appropriate $10,000 for the support of the fam- ilies of such as shall volunteer to serve in defence of the Government and Union; strong resolutions were passed; Stephen H. Chapman came forward as the first volunteer soldier, as such receiving the $20 premium offered by Capt. C. F. Hodgdon; and foreman Elijah Walker tendered 25 of his Dirigo L'ngine Company, as now ready to enlist against

treason as they had done against fire. Soon after, Mrs. R. S. Mayhew, a valued teacher in the graded district, together with Miss Orissa A. Packard and Miss Jennie Grafton, ten- dered their services to the State to attend the Maine volun- teers as nurses; and in less than a week three companies of volunteers, numbering many of the best young men as well as older and respected citizens, were filled and organized; - under Captains E. Walker, O. J. Conant, and L. D. Carver. These, on Sunday, April 28th, attended divine services con- ducted by Rev. J. Mariner, in the open air at the foot of Lime Rock street. By the end of the first week in May, a fourth company was raised by Col. Geo. J. Burns, of which he was elected captain ; and by May 16th, all these, followed by the other companies composing the 4th Maine Regiment, went into camp on Tilson's Hill. This was denominated Camp Knox, a name which they carried with them to the banks of the Potomac. The tents for this and the other Maine regiments were furnished on contract by Gen. Wm. S. Cochran, who employed in this city between 100 and 200 persons, and, as the reputation of his tents extended and further contracts were obtained, increased the number to nearly 500, mostly women and girls, continuing the business far into the winter, and using, a portion of the time, 8000 yards of duck, and turning out 100 tents per day.
The $10,000 recommended, were appropriated by the city council to relieve the families of such volunteers as should give for the same purpose one half their bounty and $6 per month of their wages. To aid the city in this and other ex- penditures, Defiance Engine Company, as well as Dirigo En- gine Company, now decimated by enlistments, relinquished all compensation for their services during the year ; Cornelius Henrahan and a number of other citizens offered to labor gratuitously with their teams in repairing Pleasant, Park and Lime Rock streets ; while the ladies assembled daily for six weeks, in numbers varying at times from 25 to 150, at Pills- bury hall, making up about 800 shirts, 400 havelocks, and nearly 2000 towels, for the regiment ; 52 bed-sacks and pillow ticks with 75 yards of new cloth and large quantities of old into bandages for the hospital ; together with a hold-all, and two handkerchiefs for each soldier of the Rockland compan- ies, exclusively. These articles were, June 14th, publicly presented at Camp Knox, by J. Farwell, in behalf of the fair donors, a large number of whom were present; and his ap- propriate remarks were happily responded to by Capt. Carver of company D. On the 15th, the regiment in dress para de

was mustered in, reviewed, and addressed by Gov. Wash- burn, who pronounced it the best looking body of men Maine had vet sent to the service. On Sunday, the 16th, religious services, which had heretofore been conducted by most of the city clergy in rotation, were performed by Rev. Mr. Mitchell, of the Methodist church, after which, a presentation of swords, procured by subscription among the citizens, was made, with a stirring address by Mr. Osgood, to the com- missioned officers of the four Rockland companies, responded to in an earnest and fitting manner by Capt. Walker of com- pany B. And, on the 17th, the reveille sounded at four o'clock ; at five the soldiers ate their last breakfast in the camp here ; received a day's rations ; struck and packed their tents ; and at nine, with a large white banner bearing the inscription "FROM THE HOME OF KNOX," took up their line of march down Middle street, and through Main street to Atlantic wharf, where the steamer Daniel Webster was waiting to re- ceive them. At Main street they were joined by the Rock- land band in full uniform, who volunteered to accompany them on to Washington ; and, opposite the Kimball block, a halt was made, and a second banner bearing the motto and arms of the State, was presented the Colonel by Maj. Gen. Titcomb. The camp grounds, the streets, windows and ave- nues along the whole line of march, and especially the wharf, buildings, and shipping near the place of embarcation, were densely thronged with weeping friends, relatives, and inter- ested spectators. Under a salute from the ship Alice Thorn- dike, the troops were all embarked, when an address was made by Maj. Gen. Titcomb to the assembled crowds, who gave " three times three hearty cheers to the Fourth Regi- ment, which were returned by the soldiers, -and the boat moved away, the band playing, handkerchiefs waving, hearts throbbing, and tears falling, as she bore our brave volun- teers away to the soldier's work."
The field officers of this regiment, which has ever been dis- tinguished for its cleanliness and health, correct discipline, and bravery, were, at the time of leaving. as follows : Hiram G. Berry of this city, colonel ; Thomas F. Marshall of Bel -. fast, lieutenant colonel ; F. S. Nickerson of Searsport, ma- jor ; J. B. Greenhalgh of this city, adjutant ; Stephen H. Chapman, ditto, sergeant major ; Wm. A. Banks, ditto, act- ing surgeon ; Elisha Hopkins, soon supplanted by S. C. Hunkins of Windham, assistant surgeon ; Isaac C.
