The Sabbath School of the Congregational
Society Grew. Dr. Parker), at Gorham village,
gave an interesting Christmas entertainment,
at the church, on Friday evening. Judge Wa
terman conducted the exercises, which con-
sisted of recitations, and singing by the young
er members of the school. Four male mem
bers of the choir entertained the AUDIENCE with
some very fine and appropriate music The
exercises were closed by an exhibition from a
Magic Lantern. The church was elegantly
decorated with festoons Of evergreen, designs,
and appropriate notices. Two large Christ
mas trees were filled with choice presents,
which were delivered to the children by John
Gard, Esq, in his usual humorous manner
Deacon Marshall Irish was presented with
valuable book for his long and devoted services
in the Sabbath School, and Mr.. Charles Fl.
Hinkley was also presented with valuable
set of books for his constant and valuable serv-
icss as organist. The audiences was largo and

THE LEWIS KIDNAPPING CAsE.-The Lewis
kidnapping case, in which an interesting girl
Of seven years is alleged to have been stolen
from her mother in Boston by her father and
carried to New York, where she was found in
consequence Of reward of $1,000 having been
offered, was before the Supreme Court Friday
on writ of habeas corpus. The evidence on
both sides showed that the mother-in-law was
at the bottom of the trouble between the doc
tor and his wife. 1t would seem that snap
divorce was sprung upon the defendant, and
that his wife was goaded to legal proceedings
by the vehemence of her female relatives.
Without reaching a conclusion, Judge CORDOBA
adiourned the examination until Monday.

Mr.. EpffoR,- "A proposition Is now before
our city authorities to break up the Hanover
street stable and sell off the horses and carts
which, II carried out, will, ofcourse, be follow
ed by sale of the land and building and leave
us at the mercy of strangers, and what are
called contractors. Job5ers would be better
name.
And under what pretence? Because dump
carts can be hired for ttUe dollars day!
We have eight horses in that stable, and en-
ploy four teamsters, part in the Fire Depart
ment and the rest in city work. To these
teamsters We pay two dollars day each.
They are all married: with families to be fed
and clothed, sheltered and warmed.
One of our four city carts will take for load
from three to four times as much as dump
cart and that, in little more than half the
time.
Eight bushels of corn, costing from ten to
twelve dollars with hay) will feed these eight
horses for a week.
Two city teams therefore, which cost the city
but four dollars a day for the Transfers and
from five to six dollars ,oeek with hay) being
less than fce dollars and a hafa day, will do
from four to five or six times the work for
which two dump carts would receive ten dollars
dayi If this be true, and am assured by ex-
perienced men that it is true, what capital
specimen of city management
Sell off these teams and what are We to do
with our snow plows,or drags when our crowd
ed highways and busy streets are impossible in
mid-winter?
One word more. If Alderman Curtis is not
interested in the contract now underway, as
we'll as in that which was entered into not long
ago by the city, how happens it that he is
found sometimes, with his coat off, working
side by side with the Irish laborers employed
by the contractor, or jobber? And why have
these contractors aud jobbers already taken
possession of city lot with their dump-carts
as if perfectly sure of carrying out their plans
and getting the job on their own terms?
The disclosures just made by the Aims
House Committee seem to have set people
thinking; and not only thinking but calculat
ing for themselves. And as they have to pay
the fifer while others dance, and outsiders cut
their pgeon-wings at our expense, it may be
well to ask where these depredations are to
stop. Is the city of Portland to become an
other New York, where offices ,oithout pay are
struggled for earnestly and fiercely by men
otherwise respectable?
Let us look to this in season, before evil pre-
cedents are established and wrong-doing be-
comes general. in.

brought him to. On investigation he found
that it was Thomas Maskell-the man who
stole quantity of copper on Union street some

chickens, spare-rib of pork and some other
groceries. Knowing that some provision store
must have suffered at that hour in the morn.

in money.
