A Portland HBoyn Heard from


A correspondent of the Philadelphia Sun
day Dispatch, dating on board the U. s.
steamer Catalpa, off Georgetown, s. c., gives
an account of the capture of that place. As
the Captain Of the Catalpa, of whom such
honorable mention is made, is Portland boy,
though now resident of Philadelphia, and
his parents now reside in this city, we cheer
fully transfer to our columns the following ex-
tract:
"On the morning of February oath, our
Captain received orders to proceed up the
river toward Georgetown. We got under
weigh, and steamed up the river at 7.30, p. III.
We arrived off the town, and anchored until
morning. At early daylight we steamed up
to the town, went along side the dock, and
sent out squad of armed men to see If the
enemy were in sight In the mean time the
Captain ordered the Stars and Stripes to be
raised on the Town Hall. They were raised
in fine style, with volley of musketry and
three hearty cheers. In thirty minutes after
the flag was raised the rebel cavalry made
dash into town and engaged our scouts. Our
boys fought them for some thirty minutes, kill
ing Captain Maurice and wounding three of
the rebel cavalry, and losing one of our men,
Morris Sullivan, of Philadelphia. Our boys
drove them out OF town, and all was still again.
All Credits due to Captain ALLEN K. MOVES,
of this vessel, for the management of this af-
fair. Captain Noyes is son-in-law of Charles
Cohill, the artist, at Fifth and Chestnut
Streets. ~ . -s 3 go8

record of such astonishing success in past

We learn, too, that he had several inter

gagged to sit just before his death; and that
since that event he has modelled a head Of him
which his friends acknowledg to be success

photographs, as in the case of General Berry,
whom he never saw.

MAINE SoLDIERs.-At the capture of
Selma, on the I'd Of April, among the killed
was Capt. I. Frank Robbie, formerly of Har-
rison. He was captain of company in the
4th Ohio cavalry. He left Harrison some
five or six years since, and took up his resi-
dence in Wisconsin. In the fall of 1851 he
and a brother, Oliver P. Robbie, then residing
in Ohio, entered the 4th Ohio cavalry as pri
Yates. Oliver was promoted from one grade
to another until he reached the Colonelcy of
the regiment, but was obliged, in consequence
OF ill-health, to resign last February.
7. Frank ROBBIE was promoted to the cap
fancy of the company In which he enlisted,
and was In many Of the dercest conflicts in
Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and
Mississippi. When Sherman took Atlanta, he
was one of those who were engaged in cutting
the railroad, which was done most effectually,
his company being in the advance. At one
time they were surrounded by the enemy, but
cut their way through.
At the battle of Selma he was killed, while
CALAMITY leading on his company in charge
upon the rebel works, which, after severe
conflict were captured. He was a young man
highly respected wherever known. His age
was about q years. He resided here year
or two before he removed to Wisconsin, work.

Supreme Judicial Court.

APRIL TERM-BARROws, j., PRESIDING.
THURsDAY.-The case Of Henderson d al.
VI. Owen, after being argued by Mr.. s. G.
Strout for defendant, and Mr.. Vinton for
plaintiff, was given to the jury. After being
out five hours, they came into Court, and the
foreman reported that there was no possibility
of agreeing upon verdict. The papers were
then taken from them, and the case was con.
tinued.
The jurors were divided upon the date of
the note ia suit ,-seven being of opinion that
it was dated June, and five that it was dated
January.
No. o66.-William P. Merrill VS.. Eben N.
Perry. This is an action arising out Of the
enlisting business. The suit is brought to re-
cover moneys paid by plaintiff as town boun-
ties to two recruits he had of defendant. and
for which defendant gave the following guar
rantee:
PORTLAND, NE, Dec. 25, 1884.
Received of VIM. p. Merrill six hundred
dollars, minus expenses 10Y, for two men,
Frank Duchesne and Joseph Duchesne. mus.
tered into the United Service for the quota Of
North Berwick, and guaranteed to be thus
(Sigled) E. N. PERRY.
After the men were sent to Augusta, and
had been mustered in, the Adjutant General
notified plaintiff that they would not be cred
tied on the quota of North Berwick unless the
full town bounty was paid to each Of the men.
Plaintiff paid 1t, and now brings his action
against Perry to recover $500.
For the defence, 1t is contended that Perry
had nothing to do with paying the town
bounty, that the men were mustered in prior
to the guarantee being given, and that the de-
PENDANT is under no obligation to refund to
plaintiff any sum he may have paid as town
bounty.
The evidence in the case was all put In, and
Mr.. Vinton made the argument for defendant.
