A TRACT DISTRIBUTOR IN LIMRO.-The
scene of the following incident is LAID in Bos-
ton, where Elder Knapp, as he is famlliary
called, is stirring up the sinners during the past
week in his vigorous and effective manner.
Rev. j. L. Hatch is Unitarian minister ol
the most advanced school, who, believing that
the doctrines promulgated in the inner sane
tuary OF fremont Temple by Elder Knapp
and some OF his sympathizers were extremely
pernicious to the community, sought 10 coun.
leract their effect OH Monday by distributing
TO passers by the door OF the Temple DR..
Hedges tract, wherein the satonement' is trea-
ted on-a document published by the Amer
lean Unitarian Association. This act on the
part oil the Rev. Hatch coming to the knowl-
edge of Knapp very much inf1amed the TEN
per OF that serene and venerable antagonist of
the Devil; who, it is said, informed a number
OF his hearers that a" miserable infidel" was
outside distributing tracts, and asked them to
pray that he might be shaken over bell until
be repented." 1t is also reported that "Broth-
er Fulton" disagreed at this point with his
elder coadjutOr and adviser the audience no.
to pray TO" the miseabie lstte devil; y that he
was mot worth PRAYING for" The "infdel",
however, kept distributing and ceased not I'M
til police officer, yesterday arrested him
not with a view Of shaking him in torrid at
mosphele, but for the purpose of having him
answer to a complaint charging him with vio
lating the Goth section OF the 631st chapter of
the city ordinances. Mr.. Hatch gave bail for
his appearance tor trial, and was afterwards
discharged by the court.

account of the various treaties of the Massa-

Col. ROBBIE of Gorham, made the follow
Jag speech in the House of Representatives,
on Monday, in response to resolution COM
plimentary to Speaker Smith offered by Mir.
Wilson:
/ most cordially second the remarks of our
distinguished, warm hearted friend from
ThomaSton.
The time that has transpired since the first
day of this session, when we placed in the
chair the honorable gentleman who has SO
satisfactorily filed it, has been period OF
CONTIGUOUS and arduous labor. Our Speaker
struck the key note tor short session, and
the House has truly and wisely responded to
the call. In consequence of the multiplicity
OF important and often times embarrassing
questions, which necessarily have occupied
the undivided attention Of the legislature, but
little time has been spent in cultivating those
social qualities and amenities of q personal
character which take deeper hold OF the
feelings. Still, friendships deep and abiding
have sprung up among us never to be forgot
ten. in virtue OF the tramp of time and the
onward marching OF events, the morning OF
| the last day of the session is before us, md
before the setting sun will cast its shadow up
on the Capitol and its surroundings we shall
have turned our backs upon these familiar
walls, pregnant with "reminiscences ne .er to
be foIsotten. Goodbye is hard word to
speak; its painful effects however are but
momentary, if frightened by retrospective
considerations OF mutual friendships and
good will. Thus we leave each other Tor our
homes, and carry along with US the kindest
feelings towards our Speaker tor his faithful
and impartial services-kind feelings towards
each other, and feel that we can all unite in
feelings OF devotion Tor the national interests
and prosperity OF our noble State. Long may
you al live and prosper is the prayer of your
humble colleague aud friend.

DISASTROUS SHIPwRECK. - The English
mail steamer Borneo for Falmouth, England,
struck on a sand bar on the Brazilian coast on
the night of Dec. 25th, about half mile from
the beach, some fifteen miles south of Laguna
The violence of the surf was SO great that all
the ships boats were destroyed. The crew and
passengers then prepared raft which was
launched alongside, aud all entered upon it, but
after proceeding not more than thirty feet
from the vessel it capsized, leaving the nnfo7-
tunate persons to find safety in cliDging to
such spars as were within reach. Most of them
persisted. Ofth whole number on board thir.
ty-seven lives were lost in attempting to land.
The Borneo broke IN two midships on the fol-
lowing day, and the vessel and cargo became a
total loss. The steamer wa. laden with wool,
hides and tallow, and also had on board $780,
600 in specie. The cause of the disaster is at
tributed to some variation in the compass.

he describes as a healthy and moral communi.

The people furnished Capt. Purdy with let.

VILLAINy-The Patent Office at Wash.
ington has been in high state of excitement
tor the past week, occasioned by the discov
cry of the operations of E. W. W. Griffin,
clerk in charge OF the draughtsmen's division,
who, it appears, has been levying blacknaii
on the lady employees OF the Office for nearly
two years. During the administration OF
Colonel Fisher, late Commissioner of Patents,
large number Of ladies were employed tor
the purpose OF recopying drawings of those
already on file when ordered by inventors
These ladies were placed under the charge OF
Griffin, with power to retain them in office so
long as their services were satisfactory. 1t
has been proved that Griffin hired these ladies
at the regular salary OF S1,OOO Per annum,
the most of whom he blackmailed to the
amount of $500 year each. 1t is estimated
that he has made $1,000 per month Tor the
past two years. The matter heing brought
to tie notice of Commissioner Duncan, an
investigation was ordered, which resulted in
the dismissal of Griffin. 1t is thought there
are other cases of this kind, and the Commits
sioner expresses his determination to ferret
them all cut and make a clean sweep of all
parties in his dessrtment efgaged in swind-
ling operations against The Government or
