WINTERPORT. A correspondent states that
on Saturday evening, as Il team was carefully
conveying Il dozen barrels of flour out of town,
the keen smellers of some half a dozen drinkers
discovered that the barrels contained something
better than flour, each being pregnant with Il
20 gallon keg of whiskey. That being settled,
they followed the team a little out Of the vii
lage, when a part of the number seized and
held the driver, while the others unheaded one
of the barrels and tookthe keg of liquor away
with them for their own private use and ben
eft, leaving the wounded barrel and sawdust
on the spot. An inquest was held on the man
gled remains of the barrel, and resolutions
passed. We suspect that some of the temper
anco clubs can tell something of this assault, if
they choose.

The Dickens Party.

| For the exceedingly pleasant party of Friday
evening, by the ladies Of the Unitarian society,
| there had been much refreshing of memory by
| the study of the great novelist, and no small
expenditure of time and labor in overhauling
old wardrobes ard making new ones for the
| occasion. 1t was whispered and generally be-
| lieved that the display of the evening would be
a surprise in its variety and completeness-and
it was. The day had been stormy and bluster-
ing, with alternate snow, hail and rain, but the
| indetatigable ladies and their assistants had
made ready all the details al the hall, as
though the day were sunny and fair-with an
evident disposition to compel success out of
the most adverse circumstances. The refresh
ment tables We're loaded with substantials and
delicacies, and presented most appetizing ap-
pearance.
The only difficulty in the way of thorough
enjoyment of such party is that everybody
hasn't read Dickens. While his wonderful
portraiture and description find warm admir-
ers in every reading community, still there are
Il great many intelligent and we'll informed
people for whom no novelists have any attrac-
tons - the Gradgri inds. who want facts and
nothing else. But even the latter class could
not fail to have been interested in the brilliant
display of this occasion, as the presentations
marched i'll from the ante-rooms. There was
the ever memorable Sairey Camp, with her
bottle of comfort, from which she wet her lips
when so dispoged"; rollicking sam Weller;
the benevolent face and owl-likc spectacles of
Pickwick; the sportive Wrinkle and the festive
ter; the hungry Oliver Twist; Mrs. Squeers
with the ready birthstone and treacle: the
portly Bundle; gentle Kate NickIeby: shouts
Of laughter followed Mr.. and Mrs. Micawbcr
and the twins, especially when it was noticed
that at every turn of the hall a new pair of
twins was added to the ever-lengthening family
chain; the five pretty sisters of York; the
Pecksnitfs; Rev. Mr.. Stiggins, the shepherd,
with his partiality for pine apple rum; gentle,
devoted, sweet-faced little Nell, attending her
grandfather; happy and careless Dick Swivel
Ter; Barnaby Rldge and his raven; the aged
and belligerent Smalweeds; little Miss Elite,
full of the Importance of her chancery suit;
Little Dorrit; The Vengeance, with bright
eyes and dangerous dagger and pistol; the
stately Miss Havisham honest Joe Gargery;
and so on through a hundred characters. Great
ingenuity, taste and painstakine were display
in the costumes, and the effect was very fine.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather,
there was a very full attendance, and every
thing passed of well, W it'll the usual exercises
of such occasions, ending with Il dance, in
which nearly everybody joined. The follow
ing is list of the characters represented

NOTICES.
CoNsuMPr1vEs. TAKE NOTICE.

Every moment of delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends on the judcious choice
OF remedy. The amount Of testimony in favor of
Dr. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as cure for con-
sumption, far exceeds all that can be brought to
support the pretensions of any other medicine. See
Or. Schenck's Almanac, containingthe certificates
OF many persons of the highest responsibility, who
have been restored to health after being pronounced
lncurable by physicians of acknowledged ability.
Schenck'S Pumonic Syrup alone has cured many, as
these evidences will show; but the is often pro-
NOTED by the employment of two other remedies
which DIR; Schenck provides for the purpose. These
additional remedies are Schencks Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills. BY the timely use of these
medicines, according TO directions, DR.. Schenck
tlfes that most any case of Consumption may be
cured.
Dr. Schenck will be at the Quincy House, Boston,
on the following Wednesdays, from to O'Clock:
Jan. 18th and 9th, Feb. 10th and 24th, and March
10th and 9th. Consultations free but for thorough
examination of the lungs, with the Respirometor,
the priceis $5.
DR.. Schenck is professionally at his principal of
fce Corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia,
every Monday, where all letters of advice must be
addressed.
