SENTENcED.--In the u. S. District Court,
yesterday, Judge Ware sentenced Hosea
Sawyer of Masardis, who had pleaded guilty
Of forgery, to pay a fine of $40 and to be i'm
prisoned two months in the Bangor Jail.
The circumstances Of the case were as fol-
lows: Sawyer had certificate from his par
ents stating that he was their only son, and
that they were dependent upon him for sup
port. On arriving at Bangor he learned that
this certificate must have the signatures of
the selectmen Of his town. There was not
time for him to return to Masardis for their
signatures, as the time for rendering excuses
expired the next day. Knowing that he
could obtain these signatures, he placed the
names Of the selectmen TO the certificate, in
tending on bis return TO get one from them
and to destroy the forged one. The select
men stated that they should have signed the
certificate had it been presented to them. Uu
der these circumstances Judge Ware let tiN
deiendent off with very light sentence, be-
ing convinced there was no malice in the case

Lamentable ease of suffering and death.

Lamentable case of suffering and death.
Among the passengers by the steamer North
American. recently arrived at this port, was a
man apparently about 10 years Of age named
John Christopher Walker, native of Bre-
men, Germany. He was on his way to St.
Louis, Missouri, where, it is understood, he
had son connected with hotel, who had
sent him the means for paying his passage to
that place. During the whole voyage, he was
victim to sea-siekness, and ate little or no
food, and in consequence, when he arrived
here, he had hardly strength to enable him to
go on shore.
From some unexplainable cause the impress
sion got abroad that he was in INDECENT cir
cumstances, and the agents Of the ship declin-
ed giving the requisite bond for his support,
should the city become chargeable for his
maintenance, preferring to return him to Liy-
erpool. Hewas accordingly taken back on
board, where he remained, refusing to eat OF
drink until Monday morning last, when he
died.
We are assured, that, on examining his per-
son, gold watch was found, and money sufl-
Gent to pay his fare to st. Louis. The body
was taken charge of by the City Marshal and
we understand, placed in the receiving tomb
in the eastern cemetery.
The officers of the ship since his arrival
had in vain endeavored % force him to eat
and drink and on one occasion, only, sue
ceeded in getting small quantity of wine in
to his mouth. He seemed overcome with the
dreary prospect of another winters voyage
across the Atlantic, and to all their entreaties
he only replied "Leave me alone, | shall soon.
be out of yoSr way y
There were other German passengers in the
ship, who offered to take him to New York,
but owing to some legal point as to his sup
port, their offer was declined. The surgeon
of the North American gives it as his con-
viction that had his son been present here,
even previous TO Sunday evening, the old man
would now be alive and convalescent.
