The Body of Man Found in the
River at Getchell's Corner.

Especial despatch to the Daily Kennebec Journal.
Gardiner, 8. The body of man about As
years old, was found floating in the Kenne-
bee river near Getchelrs corner, by Geo. w.
Crummett, early this morning. The author
tiles were called and viewed the body which
proved to be that of Stephen c. Kicker, who
has been employed for some or 9 years in
the wooden mills at North Vassalboro'. He
was last seen on Saturday night last Kicker
was an honest and very industrious man. He
was unmarried. He has, we believe, rela-
tiyes--a sister living in St. Adams, Maine,
and two brothers in Bangor. 1t is supposed
he was attempting to ford the river near
Vassalboro', to visit some friends, as the ap-
pearance of the body indicated. His pants
were off, his stockings in his coat pocket, &c.
He undoubtedly was swept off his footing and
drowned, while making the attempt to cross
the river. Kicker was subject to insanity
His friends from Sidney came to Vassalboro
this evening and took charge of the body.

life of the town, and causing a continual in

life of the town, and causing continual in
crease in population. The amount of taxes
they pay conveys an erroneous impression in
regard to their real worth, or rather worthless
ness. What contrast between an individual
of this class and one who is wide awake,
keenly alive to the demands of the hour, and
is willing to venture out into the world of
business. He is interested in manufactures,
builds stores and houses for the people, invites
business and population to his town, and is
a pillar of strength in any community. We
have been led in this train of thought by read
ing an item in an exchange in regard to a
certain gentleman who is credit to his town
and should be held up as a model for all the
"sleepy Davids" everywhere. OF him our
contemporary says: eve believe he is the
enterprising man of the town. Having been
foremost in the erection of the splendid hotel
and several private dwellings, besides laying
out new streets, year or two since, we now
see him enga ged in building more houses for
the public benefit. Such a man not only
builds up town, but also the people COM
posing it."
