CASE.

MONDAY, March 81.

MONDAY, March 81.
VIM. McNally VS.. Charles b. Gilman.
Action to recover damages for "A gun-shot
wound inflicted by the deft. in October, 1871.
This case came up for trial, but the dctt. was
not ready, and moved for a continuance.
After considerable discussion tho judge
granted the motion upon terms, to wit; that
the def. pay the PITS cost of this term,
about $50, during the week, and If not So
paida default to be entered next term, Webb
for ptf. Foster 4 Stewart for dett.
James NJ. Savage of Belgrade, convicted Of
manslaughter a year ago this term, was
brought in to receive sentence. The judge
gave him five years in the State Prison
State VS.. Jason =. Scribner. 1t will be
recollected that the delft was tried at October
term. 1873, and convicted of the murder of
one of his children. but it was found as was
then supposed, that there was such defect
in the indictment that no sentence could fol-
low. But on further examination it is
thought by the county attorney that the in
dictment may be adjudged sufficient. 1t has
accordingly been arranged that the question
shall be presented to the full court for their
decision.
The remaining jurors, kept in attendance
since the third week, were dismissed.
During the day the judge has heard and
passed upon some half IA dozen libels for d.
y0pce.
The court adjourned till tomorrow morn
ing at nine O'Clock, but will despatch the re-
naming business in season to make room for
the Superior Court, which opens at ten.

Mr.. GarheId's Speech.
The Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton journal says that the democrats fear the
effect of Garteld's speech upon the Northern
vote. One of the leaders admitted that it
was an appeal to the people which the demo-
Gratis would find it impossible to answer. The
republicans have subscribed for 100 900 cop
les for circulation.
The Situation in the House.
Several of the democratic Congressman are
sick, and the democrats will not venture to
force vote on the political amendment TO
the army bill at present. 1t may he two
weeks before the bill will reach the Senate
and perhaps a month before it goes to the
President. That the debate is to be very ex-
tended is apparent. Forty names are already
entered upon the list. and it is known that
many prominent democrats whose names
have not yet been entered, intend to speak.
The Vice.President.
Vice President Wheeler feels convinced
that President Hayes will stand square with
the republicans and veto the bills with polit-
cal amendments. He regards Mr.. Hayes as
a very obstinate man, who does not form his
opinion hastily, but who cannot be moved
when he has finally made up his mind, as in
this case.

The New Steamboat Wharf.


Ii seams to be the general opinion that the
kennebec < Boston Steamboat Company
have done good thing in purchasing of the
Bittues heirs the old Town Landing in rear
of this Office and the Farmer office. The
purchase consists of 100 feet river front. with
depth of some 20 feet. They will put the
present wharf in thorough repair, and extend
it fifteen feet farther into the river, Work
will be commenced at once on the wharf, and
it will be so arranged that the steamers NAV
arrive there while it is in process of construct
ion A temporary shed will be built for the
reception of freight, until permanent freight
house, 100 feet in length is constructed. which
cannot be done until the completion of the
wharf. The wharf Will be n.cd by the Boston
boats and the Henry Morrison. The "Star'
is all ready to take her position on the route,
though the ice, which seems to be in a com
pact condition down river, will prevent her
appearance until about the middle
of April. About that time the new steamer
"Idella' (namcd for a daughter of Capt. Col
lins) which is to run between Augusta and
Gardiner, to connect with the Star, will be
ready for operations Mr.. w. J. Tuck, who
has been in the employ Of the company since
1864, will continue as agent in this city-a
fact which will our business men will be glad
to learn.
