Perhaps the happiest people ID our
city Yesterday were those who gave JOY
and comfort TO others lees fortunate than
themselves. We heard Of quite a mum:
Der who ministered TO the intellectual
and moral wants OF others by purchasing
and distributing tickets TO the justly cele.
brated lecture Of DR.. Vincent. Others
again furnished the needy with coal and
food and clothing, thus creating Joy in
saddened homes and drawing forth
thanksgiving from hearts that know but
little Of the bright side Of this lille. Al the
Children's Home all was smiles and sun
shine. The faces OF the children were
radiant with delight, and their mouths
we're wide. open TO receive the good things
which the patrons OF this charity had 30
literally provided. Our reporter look.
ed through the Home yesterday, and was
delighted with the perfect order in which
he found everything. From the dormi.
tories to the cellars, including closets,
pantries, wardrobes, holes and corners,
bathrooms, &C., &C., the Home Is as
"clean as new pin" and the various
apartments look as though bellows
was used to blow out the dust. The din.
ner was simply elegant. Oyster soup,
turkey, duck, cake, crollers, pies, &c,
were served as handsomely as at any
iirst.class table, and enjoyed with real
heartiness by as bright set Of children as
can anywhere be found.
The contributors to the Joy Of the in.
mates Of the Home yesterday would have
felt amply repaid could they have been
present to see the happiness their gifts
created. The fact ia, the contributors TO
the Children's Home have the easiest
part OF the whole work. 1t is not hard
10 give out Of abundance, but 1t Is hard
work 10 manage such an institution, and
we could not but feel yesterday that u
very unenyiable position was that OF the
delicate. looking Matron, with her charge
Of thirty children "all the year round,
or that Of President Of either Of the
Boards, with the grave responsibilities
and sad, sad scenes they are daily called
upon TO face. Let all connected with
our only unsectarian reiormatory have
the encouragement and help Of every
good citizen.

DEERING-An. animated discussion took
place at the Deering town meeting when the
article "to see if the town will appoint COM
mittee to investigate the propriety of building
road around Back Cove" came up, and by a
large majority the town refused to appoint a
committee, so the friends of the drive around
the Cove are again defeated. The meeting,
considering the weather, was we'll attended,
1856 votes being thrown for selectmen. After
the election of town officers, $1,000 were appro-
priated for repairing sidewalks, $500 for the
high school, and $4,000 for roads, and the same
for schools as last year. The town voted to
change the name of Dalton street at Wood

PORTLAND TYpoGRAPHIoAL UNION, \


MARCH CIVIL TERM, 1876, syMoNDs, j., PRE-
SIDING.
TUEspAY.-Edgar S. Brown Matthew Adams
This is an action of trespass in which the plaintiff
claims to recover damages for what he alleges to be
the illegal act of the defendant, deputy sheriff, in
committing him to Jail on the 9th of November last
The officer had execution in his possession with
orders from the attorney of the judgment creditor to
scolect secure or commit Brown did not offer TO
show any property on which to levy the ex cution,
and admits that at that time he had not the means
to paw the amount of the execution, and thereupon
the deputy arrested him, went with him to the office
of the attorney for the CREDITOR and then to the office
of Clifford & Clifford to procure sureties, which he
did not succeed in doing, then back to the sherlfs
office, from which he took him to the Jail. The
plaintiff says that while in Clifford's office Mr.
Charles Clifford said he could not sign the nrm
name to a bail bond, but if they would wait two OF
three minutes his brother would be back, and If bis
brother would sign he would; that Adams refused to
wait and they started for the sheris office; that on
the way there he asked Adams to step into the store
of Demond g. Son, which they were to pass, and see
if they would not be suretes for him, and that re-
quest Adams refused saying his time was valuable
and he could not stop; that he asked Adams to go
with him to DR.. Tewksbury's office, and he refused
saying however, in reply to Browns suggestion that
ne was Wiling anOtner deputy suOulu So Will n'in -
he could get him. Brown asked the other deputy in
the office to 60 with him, but the deputy's business
was such that he could not then leave Plaintiff
saws it could not be but little if any half an
hour from the time he was arrested until he was
committed to Jail; that Adams conduct while he
had him in charge was exultant and indicated NAL
ce: that the malice arose from the fact that they
had some trouble few days before.
The precise claim of the plaintiff is that the de-
PENDANT did not give him sufficient time to procure
sureties upon the bond. Plaintiff was committed
about half past three in the afternoon of the 9th and
released upon bail bond the next day at noon.
After the evidence for the plaintiff was out the
connsel for defendant moved for non su,t on the
ground that this is not the proper form of action that
II should be special action on the case instead o.
tresnass that the officer is not obliged to allow the
debtor time to hunt up sureties, but may eommi
him a. once unless he has his suretes present AM
tenders them to the office. The court thereupon or
dered non suit and the case goes forward 10 tut

MAN MIssNG-Singular Disappearance. Mr.
Nathan w. Slower of Newfeld, brother of po-
liceman Slower of this city, came to town Mon
day, March 9th, to draw his pension. His
brother saw him about noon, when he said he
would 60 to his brothers. house and spend the
night if he did not get through with his BUSH
ness. AS he did not return to his brothers
house it was thought that he had returned
home. Monday his brother received letter
from his wife stating that he had not returned
and expressing anxiety as to his whereabouts.
He was last seen by the stage driver, who car
ries the mail from the railroad to Newfeld, at
about one o'clock Monday. Mr.. Slower was
then on his way to the pension Office to get his
money. The books of that Office show that he
was paid Monday. but in the rush of business
they do not remember the hour when he was
there. The amount of his pension was about
$3.50. Since then no trace of the man can be
found. Digent inquiry has been made at the
railroad stations, but no man can be recalled
answering to his description. He is about 30
years of age and lost his right arm in one of
the battles before Richmond in 1862, being a
member of the 9th Maine. He has always
been noted for his strict temperance principles.
His disappearance is certainly very mysterious
and gives his friends alarm.

the service. He has resided in Augusta about
seven years, and is one of the youngest men

Nash possessed the confidence aud esteem of
the party.
