That Boy.

Rev. Or. Vincents lecture in the Y. NJ. G.. A.
course last night drew large audience to City
Hall, among whom were many Portland Chautau-
quans. The Chautauquans, previous to the lee
ture, met DR.. Vincent in Reception Hall, where
they were addressed upon Chautauquanism by
the leader of the organization.
DIR. Vincent is man of middle age and of pre-
possessing appearance He speaks easily and dis
tinctly and his remarks last night were inter-
spersed with many witty sayings.
The lecture, having for its subject THAT Boy,
proved very interesting, the speaker describing
the various stages of the boys existence from the
time he was youngster' until he has attained an
age of sixteen or seventeen years and concluding
his remarks with plea for the church, the school
and the home.
sThat Boy" as represented by DR.. Vincent is
honest and straightforward, scorning untruth and
profanity but able to throw ball with such force
as to make the fingers of the player who catches
lt-or tries to catch it-tngle for week.
The influence of the public school is regarded
by DR.. Vincent as of the utmost magnitude, land
in his remarks upon the boys home, the lecturer
made an able plea for training at once firm and
kind, appealing tothe boys own sense of right
rather than by seedlings or giving him his own
way to his injury. DR.. Vincent APPLY described
the desire for show and perfect order in the
house which drives too many boys into the streets
because of continual fault finding at the boys
natural proclivities to make dirt and noise.
The lecture was well received, frequent and
hearty applause showing the appreciation of the
audience

New England Fishing interests.

At the recent meeting of the Portland Fishing
Exchange, as reported in the PRESS the atten-
ton of fishermen was called to the extent to
which clam bait, dug from New England shores,
is sold to the fishermen of Canada. Letters have
since been received from prominent people, who
think the point well made. With regard to this
matter, one of the most active members of the ex-
change says: "At the last fishery award one of
the arguments brought up by the Canadians was
that it was great privilege for American fisher
men to enter provincial ports for the purpose of
purchasing supplies and bait. 1t is plainly seen
that it is as much for the benefit of parties
who have goods to sell to have purchasers, as it
is for the buyers to have the opportunity of pur-
chasing But the practice of buying bait at the
provinces is not so great as represented. 1t be
shown that the State of Maine alone supplies the
provincial fishermen with more bait than the pro-
vincial fishermen sell to those of the United
Etafae

That MoIasses Case Again.

The molasses case, which has twice before
been noticed in the PRESS, has again been pass
ed upon in the New York courts Henry Beste
and others, creditors of Burger, Hurlbut & Liv-
ingston to an amount exceeding 100000, in De-
cember, 1884 brought their bill of complaint
against Burger, Hurlbut and Healey as surviving
partners, and Frank H. Platt as assignee of de-
PENDANTS praying that the assignment made by
the surviving partners on the 18th day of Sep
TENDER, 1884 be set aside as fraudulent and void,
that an injunction be issued against defendants,
and their assignees restraining them from dispos-
ing of any of the assigned estate, that receiver
be appointed with the usual powers and duties.
and that compliments claims which were in the
form of judgments, be paid by the receiver out of
the assigned property and its proceeds.
The case was fully heard before Hon. Henry
Wilder Allen, Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas, who, on the 21st of October last rendered
his decision that defendants were entitled to
judgment dismissing the plaintiffs complaint
upon the merits, with costs, and an extra allow
ance of $3.50 to the defendant Frank H. Platt.
From this decision the compliments appealed
and carried the cause to the General Term of the
court, where it was argued in November, and on
the seventh of the present month the court rem
dered its decision confirming the judgment of the
lower court.
Whether or not the compliments will take a
third and last chance, by carrying the case for
ward to the court of appeals remains to be seen.

SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY.

MONDAY-Stephen Purington vs. Maine Cen
tral Railroad Company. Action to recover for
the damage done to q load of household goods and
furniture run into by train on the defendants
road at what is known as the Mechanic street
crossing. at Woodford'S Corner, in March last.
Plaintiff had his goods loaded upon pair of
traverse seds with four horses attached, and
while passing over the crossing which was bare,
the rear runners stuck. He used his utmost en-
deavors to start the load, assisted by others, as
he was informed that train was due about that
time. The gatekeeper'S house is at the Spring
street crossing and he also operates the gate at
Mechanic street. Plaintiff claims that his team
could have been seen from the gatekeeper's house
and from beyond. 1t was shortly after six o'clock.
The plaintiff claims that either the gatekeeper or
those In charge of the train should have seen the
team upon the crossing and thus avoided the
collision; but instead, the gatekeeper hearing the
train, lowered the gate right on top of plaintiffs
load, thereby preventing his starting. even if the
horses were able to start it, without raking off
ran up the track and shouted to the engineer who
Immediately reversed, but too late to avoid the
collision.
The defendants claim that there was no negli-
gence ON the part of the employees of the road
that if there was any fault on the part of anybody
it was on the part of the plaintiff; that when
notified, as he was, that a train was due, he
should have gone UP the road and notified the
gatekeeper or some one at the station at Wood
fords, and not have relied upon their seeing him.
