A CHARITABLE MAN.

Hon. j. r. Bodwell, of this city. evidently
knows how to put his money ''where it will do
the most good" Whilst carrying on with en-
ergy and success his extended operations, he
does not neglect or disregard benevolent OBJ
jects, and is well known for his public spirit
and private benefactions. Besides giving 81 900

years salary to the Burial Ground Association,
he and his partner, Mr.. Burleigh have devoted
three acres of valuable land in Vassaboro to
the Oak Grove Seminary. His charities to the
poor are too numerous to be catalogued Hal

Nearly every ice house on the kennebec is
now filled. About an average amount has
been harvested The cost. however, will be
rather more than the average, owing to the
heavy snow fall and consequent additional ex-
pense Of scraping. Twenty-one concerns have
operated on the river, and about 1856 900 tons of
ice have been cut and stored. A house at
Hallowell, owned by Frank Page, is the only
one at which there has been nothing done.
Several houses in which old ice was carried
over. have been topped out. The Haynes & De
Witt Ice company contemplate erecting Il new
house at South Gardiner the coming season,
with Il capacity of 25 900 tons

Of the institution. Some So applications We're
made for pardons, the prisoners coming before
the Council and pleading their cases, Mrs.
Barrows and Oscar E Bianey being among the
number. The former appeared unusually anX-
ious to her fate. Santore and Capone, who
are to be hung April Sd, could not express
their feelings and wants, being ignorant of the

oldest, however, appeared to be oblivions to
the fact that his end was near, and will evident

seems to realize his coming fate, and it would
not be strange if he completely broke down be-
fore the end.

The colored people OF the South who

tsoubIe out there, if the reports from
that State are true. 1t is said that the
Arkansas mountaineers do not like the
idea of their State being turned into an
asylum for negro inmigrann. They
threaten violence. The condition of
affairs in several counties Is 80 bad ,ha,
the Governor of the State has been called
upon to preserve the peace. A band Of
mountain bmmers have ordered the
negro tenants in Conway and Pope Coun

hesitate a long lime before leaving o
State where they are protected in life
and property, for State in which they
are treated as intrudero and ordered 70
leave such counties as the native white
nen do not want them to settle In. The
people OF Arkansas are evidently willing
to let the negro settle in the awamp lands
