THE PIsCATAQUIs AFFAIR. - The respond
ents in this case came before U. S. Com
missioner Rand yesterday morning, but as
the counsel for the government was not able to
attend to the case, it was adjourned until next
Thursday at 10 o'clock, a. m. heHt sF.s $50
The writ upon which Deputy U. S. Marshal
Head of Bangor arrested the two Halls was
writ of execution obtained in bankrupt case
in the U. S. District Court The defence is
said to be upon the claim that Mr.. Head ar
rested the Halls, carried them to Guilford, and
then released them, and after releasing them he
had no authority to re arrest them. The U. S.
officers deny this statement and say that the
prisoners were not released; that they did not
object to going to Bangor that their attorney
procured Il writ and arrested Mr.. Head without
their consent. 1t is said that Mr. Foss only
acted as an officer, had no part in procuring the
writ and did all in his power to make Mr..
Head comfortable while in Guilford. u - q ISL

LADIES BURMAN Mission. - The annual
meeting of the Ladies' Burman Circle" this

with the First Baptist church, was held on
Thursday evening. This organization has de-
voted its efforts for the past two years to as
sisting in paying the debt incurred in the cree
ton of their new house of worship. From the
Secretary and Treasurers report we gather the
following items: The whole number of mem
bers of the Circle is TO Three have died DUR
ing the year. Five festivals have been held
during the year yielding a net income of $685.
g. Firm other sources the Treasurer has re-
ceived S63S.O5, which, with the balance in the
treasury at the beginning of the year, has en-
abled the Circle to contribute to foreign mis-
sions the sum of $1040S, aud to purchase and
cancel $500 of the bonds of First Baptist Soci-
ETY. and leave balance in the treasury of $176,
70 for the new year. In addition to this the
"Circle," have established 'sinking fund"
proper TO which certain specified income is ap-
piled to which over 800 has been added during
the year. In two years the Circle has cancelled
$500 of the church bonds. Truly a noble rec

friends of the Society at bountiful supper, af-
yer which an hour was spent in social congratu-

Nor A RoMANcE.-About three yeaIs ago
young girl in this city, about fifteen years old,
went blueberrying in Cape Elizabeth, and
while engaged in collecting material for fruit
pies learned to love stalwart young man from
the Rolling Mills. The two W ere welded but
their married life proved an unhappy one. The
young wife was very coquettish, and showered
her smiles upon other men. A separation took
place, though no divorce was applied for The
two fools saw each other frequently but the in
terviews always ended in quarrel. Not many
days since the husband learned that the girl
whom he found among the BURBERRY bushes,
had been re-courted and re.won by bold sailor
boy, and that, unmindful of legal technicalties,
she had given herself to him in marriage.
With heart full of wrath, he of the Rolling
Mills fastened to the home of the newly we'd
ded pair and confronted the destroyer of his
happiness. An interview took place, which
ended on the part of the sailor man in prom
Use to pay five dollars, and on the part of the
aggreved husband never to disturb the felicity
of the newly welded pair. The money was to
be paid over the next day. The day came and
so did the husband, but the mariner and his
bride were not to be found. They had left for
parts unknown, and the deserted husband was
left to bewail the loss of his wife and the five
dollars

INTEMPERANcE.-T The rapidity With which
crimes of the darkest dye are being committed
in our midst is truly startling. And yet the
public apparently take but little notice of it.
How long will our community slumber over the
work of desolation going on in our midst, and
allow the vendors of strong drink to rob, main
and murder, or send their crazed victims to
their homes to render there the scenes of vio-
lence and woe. Within the past week three
deaths have been the fruits of the liquor traffic
going on in our city, besides many homes
made desolate. Will not such scenes as tran
spred at Pixies den on Franklin street arouse
every friend of humanity te aid the officers of
the law to suppress those foul dens of infamy
and crime? T e cause of humanity calls loud
ly to every good citizen to come to the rescue
and to use every means in their power to ex-
terminate from our midst the vilest class of
beings which infest our city, the rum-selers.

the Stafford arson case, and can furnish inn
portant testimony it is said. 1t is alleged that
she and the man ''Scotty" occupied the burned

body has been abusing her terribly by white
washing her face and then throwing pot of
rouge at her.

The Observation-Disclosures Hall was crowded
last evening on the occasion of the appearance
of Buckley Serenaders, aud more delighted
audience is not often seen. The negro min
strelcy was the best of its kind and brought to
memory those palmy days when large houses
greeted minstrel troupes in Boston flor hun
dred nights in succession. Buckley handled
the bones as no other man can Budd and his
tambourine sustained the other end. Cum
mings and Turner in their songs andl dances
were frequently called, while Minnie Loder was
greeted with warm applause. Buckley's char
acter personation was excellent and ''Hamlet
Run Mad" was welcomed with shouts of lauge
ter. sol .-g-.-.'.a'i sfe.
But the travesty in three acts, on ola Som
nambula" was the browning feature of the en-
tertainment. To those who have seen he
opera it was vastly funny and to others it was
very amusing. Gamma" by Eva Brent, and
Susanna" by Minnie Lode, were capitally
rendered while Rudolph" and 'sAlesio' by
rockingham and Budd, were ludierous in tie
extreme. The music was exceptionally good,
the orceestra being excellent, and the vocal
parts finely rendered.
This evening the burlesque on 'Lucreza
Borgia" will be given, and there will be an en-
tire change of bill in tho variety portion of the
entertainment .-.-f uH

Beadle, one of the ablest correspond
ents of the Cincinnati Commercial, closes
letter from Middletown, as follows:
1 dropped my pencil a moment to at
tend an afternoon meeting, held by per-
mission of Mr.. Bowman at his saloon 1t
was the most remarkable and impressive
scene / have yet witnessed. The long
billiard hall and saloon were completely
filled In the center, some leaning upon
billiard tables and few in chairs, were
some sixty ladies; at the ends hundred
or more men, and out upon the pavement
and in the alley or rear two or three
hundred more. All the school children
Just dismissed, were there; and in that
large crowd there was no more disorder,
no more whispering er pushing than is
often observed in an indoor meeting.
The ladies sang some beautiful hymns,
then the leader called on very nice
looking old lady to pray. The scene was
so unusual that / prepared to take ver-
batim report, but to my surprise, the lady
prayed in the German language To re-
port prayer in a foreign tongue, clear
enough for translation, is merely imposi-
BILE; and no report could give any idea of
| the deap earnestness, the tone of sinceri-
ty and ardent supplication with which
| H6f pSIltlOIl was QSllbCIC0s wv LlOIc
| than third of the congregation could
| understand the words, but the spirit
seemed to touch every heart in the three
or four hundred there assembled. Men
that had probably not heard half a
dozen prayers in as many years were
deeply touched, and as the ladies rose
| from their knees there were tears on
almost every face. Not man seemed
to have stirred during the prayer, but at
its close the whole band sang with great
force and beauty,
| ''Tell me the old, old story"
| And one by one, reverently and in silence
the men dropped from the room. The
very genius of primitive Christianity
seems to have descended upon some of
these praying women, and they that have
pone out into the highways to bid sim
ners come in, find their strength to be
! like that of the Apostolic days.

The Cincinnati Gazette of last Saturday
had long letter from Gen. Boynton, its
Washington correspondent, about the
old case against Quartermaster Hurtt
which was disposed of nearly ten years
ago. The letter was prefaced with half
a column of glaring headlines, from the
reading of which we supposed that the
late Chief Justice Chase, Secretary STAN
ton, Gov. Dennison, Senator Sherman
and others, had been implicated in ter
rible rascalities. But upon careful
reading of the letter we found it
to be one of Boynton's malicious charges,
without evidence, similar to his unfound-
ed attacks upon Gen; Howard, Senator
Harlan and Others
