The donation party at the congrega-

very pleasant affair. The friends of Rev.
Mr.. Field and family, to the number of a.
bout one hundred-and there would have
been more If the house had been larger
came in with happy faces, kind words, and
nice presents, encouraging the heart of the
pastor, and strengthening his hands to la
Dor on in the good cause of righteousness
and truth. He is a faithful servant in the
Masters vineyard, and may he long be
permitted to exert his christian influence
in this place.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ephraim F. Haskell eel
ebrated their golden wedding" on Tues
day evening of last week. Over one hum
dred of their friends were presnt, making it
happy occasion of Interchange of affection
and esteem. Pertinent addresses were
made by their pastor, Rev. Mr.. Gaylord,
and Hon. Ashley Stone. Beautiful pres
ents from their children and grand chill
dren were received. May they long live to
enjoy them.
Rev. Mr.. Davenport. after an absence
of four weeks, returned last week, and re-
sumed his labors in the Universalist

Rev. Origen Smith, for 20 years pastor
of the Baptist church In East Dover, has
resigned his charge.
AT West Dover the week of prayer was
observed, with evident profit, by the Con-
gregational church and congregation.
On New Years evening the Baptist
church and society gave their retiring pas
tor, Rev. Origin Smith, donation visit,
which proved on every account a pleasant
and most genial affair. If we are rightly
Informed, between $50 and $40, principally
in money, changed ownership in favor of
this truly excellent man and minister. His
twenty years pastorate with this little
church has few parallels in Dover, we APP
prehend, neither for duration or persever-
ing devotion, through summers heat and
winters cold, to work which, in the ma
ture of things, could render him but sen-
der returns in the matter of salary.
AT Dover Centre the friends of Mr.
Dickerson fairly thronged him with their
pleasant gifts and faces. Young and old
were there the children and youth evil
IDENTIFY AS happy, aud certainly AS welcome,
as the ablest and oldest of the gin bearers.
Over 100 persons were present, and their
good will took forms well adapted to REIN
force the cellar and larder. The Rev. re-
cipient mentions the sum of one thousand
and ttty sir dollars as the nearest estimate
of the avails of the evening-one thousand
being credited for the glad good will and
fellowship of the hour, fifty five isr six, say,
in cash and produce, for which he returns
thanks.

The business transacted by Congress
since re-assembling Is not important. In
the Senate resolution was adopted direct
ing the Judiciary committee to inquire in
to the expediency of repeating the national
bankrupt law from and after Jan. l, 1874,
and providing for the immediate repeal of
the act rs relates to involuntary bankrupt
cy. A bill was also introduced amendato-
~ of the national currency act Of June 80,
1854, and providing for free banking.
measure looking to the resumption of spe-
Gle payments was introduced by Mr.. Hoop
er of Massachusetts. The proposition to
crease the presidents salary to $4,000 has
been rejected by the House, in committee
of the whole, by a vote of &c to 81. In the
Senate, Friday, Mr.. Ames of Mississippi
introduced bill TO remove distinctions Of
race in all the regiments of the army.
The Credit Mobler investigation is still
in progress. Thus far there has nothing
been brought forward which duplicates
any member of Congress in an unworthy
or criminal act. The true state of the case
seems to be that Mr.. Cakes Ames offered
various Congressman opportunity to pur-
par value. lie offered it to them as a pay
Ing Investment and showed his confidence
in II by guaranteeing ten per cent on the
shares. One important fact has been set
lied by this Investigation and that is, that
those Congressman who were mainly con-
nected with this business by the one-sidod
revelations made during the presidential
campaign, have been triumphantly justifi-
ed. Mr.. Dawes, Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. Colfax
and other prominent men were offered
shares as an investment, but when they
found out that certain law suits were inn
pending, declined investing or sold at once
what they had taken. Not one of them
supposed there was any bribery in the mat
ter, and 1t Is an entirely new revelation
discovered only through bitter partizan
batred-which makes II criminal fora mem
Der of Congress to invest money where it
will pay best.
Mr.. Ames testimony states fully and
frankly his connection with this whole
matter, and fully relieves him from the
wholesale charges of bribery which have
been so freely made against him. He had
risked his own large fortune in the enter
prise of building the Pacific railroad, and
was naturally anxious to have the enter
prise successful. He thought to widen and
enlarge the public interest by interesting
Congressman in the business Iart of the
enterprise, and in offering gentlemen Cred
it Mobiler shares at par and interest, nei-
Their he or they had any purpose or suspi-
cion of bribery. Mr.. McComb says, to be
sure, that Mr.. Ames admitted to him that
he gave away shares to Congressman, and
added that everybody knew that they were
bribed, but these statements Of Mr.. Nc
Combs are fatty contradicted by the testi-
mony of Mr.. Ames and Mr. Alley and by
all the gentlemen who have thus far testi-
fed in regard to the stock.

found at the fire, were recognized by one of
the proprietors as similar to those sold to
Manning. Manning was also seen in the
vicinity of the fire at about the time of its
discovery. An attempt TO prove an atibi
failed, and Manning was put under $1,000

The AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.-In lS45
Great Britain formed treaty with the Sui
tan of Muscat for the suppression OF the
foreign slave trade, but the Sultan reserv-
ed the right to transport domestic slaves by
sea rom one port to another in his own do
minions. Foreign Arabs have taken a
broad cargoes of slaves, pretending to sail
for some domestic port but really for the
coast of Arabia and the Persian Gulf. So
this reserved right has been made cloak
for the foreign slave trade. Great Britain
desires the Sultan to surrender the reserv-
ed right. Our government joins with
Great Britain in requesting this surrender,
and hence the recent visit OF Commander
Wilson in the u. $. steamer Yantic to the
country. Other great powers are expected
to unite in this demand.

With two churches in this village, we
regret to say that we are nearly destitute OF
church services on the Sabbath. The only

Social religious meetings are now held
in this village on three evenings In each
week, and all are quite well attended, and
apparently with an increasing interest.
