The members of the Baptist Social Union
and their friends, forming party of one hum
dred and fifty or more, left on their excursion
over the Ogdensburg road last Thursday morn
ing. Arriving at North Conway about quarter
past twelve. they spent an hour there for lunch
and had also opportunity for a short ramble.
The party reached the Crawford House about
four o'clock. At five a sumptuous banquet
was served in the spacious dining hall, which
was handsomely decorated with evergreens and
rich hued autumn leaves. Vases of ferns,
moses, wild berries and bright leaves orna-
mented the tables, adding greatly to their
beauty, and almost rendering the viands more
tempting. and the company were not slow to
respond to the cordial invitation of the presi-
dent to partake of the bounties spread before
them.
After the dinner, which was most palatable
one, the Union assembled in the parlor, around
the cheerful open fire, and, after an hour of
informal conversation and music, were called
to order by the President, Mr.. Geo. F. Emery,
who introduced, as the first speaker, Deacon
Lovace Of Connecticut, one of the prime
movers in forming the first Baptist Social
Union. Mr.. Lovace made some timely re.
marks, and was listened to with interest at
the close of which Rev. Mr.. Cushing, a gentle
man of much experience in missionary labor in
Persia, made few remarks. Hon. S. P Ben
son being present. was then called, and in his
inimitable manner made speech, which was
highly enjoyed by all present. He was fol-
lowed by Rev. DR.. Champlin, Rev. Mr.. Crane
and DR.. Lambert. Mrs. Burnham then rem :.
dered beautiful song.
Rev. Mr.. McWhinnie was then introd uced,
but owing to the lateness of the hour he spoke
briefly. The Union then Joined in singing the
doxology. Thus passed pleasant evening,
and when the friends assembled the next
morning they seemed cheerful, despite th e
unpropitious weather. But the morning hours
slipped rapidly by, and when the hour of de :
parture drew near, all were unanimous in their
expressions of qualification and seemed we'll
pleased with their excursion. About twenty
remained at the Crawford, sixteen of whom
took the stage for Mt. Washington.
Too much praise caunot be awarded to the
executive committee for their good manage

FRIDAY-C. P. Mattocks, assignee in bankruptcy
of ii. A. McKenny & Co., VS. Brown Thurston &
Co Petition to invalidate mortgage-given by bank
rupt to defendans-on personal property to secure
debt of $17O0. Petition of involuntary bankruptcy
filed July 3oth, 1878, more than two months after
date of the mortgage.
Thurston's counsel claim that the amendment of
the bankrupt act of June 3D. 1874 limiting the time
ofinvalidating conveyance to secure old debt to
two months applied to this case. The assignee
claimed that inasmuch as the mortgage and adjudi-
cation of bankruptcy were both prior to the act of
Congress in question, the two months clause could
not apply and that the case must be decided under
the laws as they stood before the amendment. The
Judges decree was in the following language:
That Brown Thurston did not acquire valid title
to the property covered by said mortgage, but that
the same was taken and received by them in fraud
of the act. and the property passed to the assignee
free and clear of any valid incumbrance, in favor of
said Brown Thurston by virtue of said mortgage 1t
is therefore ordered that said assignee distribute said
proceeds among the creditors of said estate as part

CHILD MURDER.-Friday afternoon Charles
Thomas, riverman, found floating in the
Kennebec near Augusta, the body of an infant,
quite well developed. II had evidently been
stranged by its inhuman mother or father, put
into meal bag, and tied up, brick being
used as weight to send it to the bottom of the
river; but the weight was not sufficient to keep
the body down. The body had evidently been
in the water three or four days. Coroner Lib
by directed that it be buried.

BASE BALL.-Probably the worst game of
base ball of the season was played at Presump-
scot Park, Saturday afternoon, between the
King Philips of Rockland, Mass, and the
Resolutes of this city.
To give an extended account of the game
would be but to chronicle errors, but suffice it
to say the batting on both sides was heavy and
the fielding very poor. In the sixth inning
Kimball made splendid three-base hit, and
Wilson fine two.base hit
The Resolates Nine was not as strong as
usual. Payson and Lynch being absent, their
places were filled by Evans and Kimball of the
Dry Goods Nine.

he wanted them in the morning. Mr. Fox
started at once to consult a clairvoyant, one
Mrs. Rindall, and she told him all about it, She

his fortune told he started for Conway after

LAUNcHING.-The fine new ship Alice D.
Cooper which was built at Knightsville by
Messrs. j. f. Randall & Co. of this city, was
partially launched Saturday noon. She start
ed on the ways and went nearly her length,
when the ways split and she stuck in tie m d
very solid. 1t is said that it will cost large
sum to get the ship from her present condition.
We gave full description of the ship at an
early stage in the building, but we will repeat.
She is 200 feet on deck, 38 feet wide, and "a
feet deep. Her registered tonnage is 140O tons
with carrying capacity of 1000 tons. The
ships frame is of hardwood, oak and hacma-
tack, covered inside and out with southern
pine. The ships pumps are from Russell's
mandatory, Newburyport, Mass. and the
immense iron water tank is from Quinn &
Co.'S Of this city. Between decks, forward, an
enormous beam placed across the hooks after
the bits, kneed and bolted in the strongest
possible manner, gives to the bow the power to
withstand the strain of the heaviest sea and is
new feature for vessels built in this vicinity.
The gallery is fitted up in fine style. The two
fcrecastles are very neatly finished, one on
each side of the deck. The cabin is elegantly
fitted up. The vessel is owned by Capts. Hard
ing and Humphreys of Yarmouth, and j. F.
Randall of this city, and will be commanded
by Capt. Humphreys.
