Wendell Phillips lectured in Skowhegan on
Wednesday evening, to an audience of 700.
The lecture was well received, although the

Mr. II. W. Littlefield, Principal of the
Grammar school in this city, who recently re

llev. Mr. Penney, pastor of the Free Bap

A rascal dropped an envelope in the post

On Wednesday, while one of the teams of
the Knickerbocker Ice Company was hauling
ice on the river from liallowell to Gardiner,
the ice gave way just below Brown’s Island,
and it was only after the greatest exertion that
the valuable team was saved. The business
of hauling ice to Gardiner has been aban
doned for the present until the ice shall
strengthen. The ice which is being secured
at Hallowell will be stored on Steam Mill
point.
We have received from a “poick" of the
first water, a production “written on the con
stitution and course pursued by wun man to
ards annuthcr at the present time." The
writer says that like wolves with wild boars,
men are never at “pease,” but are constantly
engaged in “tearing out each other's eyes
out.” Men “rob their neighbor’s pockets,”
“And all take the Job for the pay.
And so the world wags on from uay to day.”
Those who believe in the millennium will be
pained to learn that thus
“Twill ever be for all dimming time.”
The sin of the day is not confined altogeth
er to the church edifices—
“For tin not the meeting houses that is given
over to tin,
But all those that congregate wUhin.”
In this deplorable state of things is there no
remedy ? It appears not. For the poet lifts
up his eyes and exclaims:
"For all have a chance of seeing
That tis but seldom (rarely seldom) that one
meets with a human being ;
For all is void of truth, reason and common
cents.
And ever will be till man and this world goes
hense.”
After closing his refrain, and we refrain
from copying at greater length, the “poick"
is supposed to lay down his pen, and put in
an application for a room at the Insane Hos
pital.
There arc bright spots even in the life of a
minister—sunnysides in the rough journey
that are really pleasant and inspiring. It
must indeed be a pleasant reflection to a pas
tor to know that his labors arc appreciated by
his flock, that they enter with him in sympa
thy into his great work, and take a deep inter
est not only in his spiritual but in his tem
poral welfare. Such attention to his wants
serves to encourage him in his labors, and will
help both the giver and receiver. Last even
ing, while Kev. Dr. Kicker, pastor of the First
Baptist church in this city, and the members
of his family were taking tea at the house of a
friend, the sanctity of their home was invaded
by a body of men and women moving silently
in the stillness of the evening and conveying
certain mysterious looking packages. After
taking possession of every part of the house,
the tables were speedily loaded with tempting
food, hot coffee supplied and arrangements
made fur a good time in the lmusc of the minis
ter. About eight o’clock the Doctor and his
family wore summoned home by a messenger.
On opening the door they were in a maze of
bewilderment. They were obliged to ground
arms at the outer door in obedience to the be
hests of fair sentinels, and compelled to sub
mit to an unconditional surrender. After
being conducted to the parlor, one of the
company in brief remarks, in behalf of the
society, presented to the Doctor and his fam
ily a marble top • centre table on which was
arranged a magnificent silver tea service, full
set, besides several other articles for use and
ornament, the whole costing over one hun
dred dollars. The Doctor responded to the
presentation speech in a very handsome man
ner, although his feelings came near getting
the mastery. After congratulations, a pleas
ant evening spent in conversation and social
enjoyment, closing with a bountiful repast, 1
the company took leave of their pastor and his 1
family, with their bump of benevolence en
larged and their affections and kindly feelings
strengthened. The surprise was a most com
plete one, and the complimentary testimonial
well deserved and appreciated. There were
over two hundred guests present during the
evening, some outside of the Society, the
warm friends of Dr. Ricker and his family.

We find in the Portland Daily Advertiser a
decision in a bankrupt case which may be of
interest to our readers. K. K. Dresser had
been adjuged a bankrupt on the petition of
his creditors, and a warrant had been issued
to the Marshal as Messenger, requiring him to
take possession of all the estate of the bank
rupt, and ordering tire bankrupt within ten
days to deliver to the Messenger a schedule
of his creditors, and an inventory of his es
tate. Tne schedule and inventory were de
livered to the Marshal, and from the inventory
it appeared that the debtor was possessed of
8130.50. This sum bad been repeat* illy de
manded by the Marshal, but the bankrupt had
never paid over any part of it, at last excus
ing himself by claiming he bad spent it in the
support of his family. C. P. Mattocks was
chosen assignee of the bankrupt and not hav
ing received this amount, he petitioned the
court for an order to show cause why be had
not paid over the money, and that he should
be adjudged guilty of contempt of the order
of the court. This bankrupt was brought into
court in Portland, before Judge Fox, and the
court decreed that the bankrupt was guilty of
contempt in not complying with the warrant
of the court, and ordered that he should be
committed to the jail in Portland, there to be
detained until he should pay the amount
stated on his inventory together with the cost
or until the further order of oourt. The bank
rupt afterwards paid the amount. This is
the first cate on which the District Court has
been called upon to enforce a compliance
with its orders and decrees, although in many
instances, bankrupts have failed to comply
with the orders of the court within the time
prescr.bed. We understand that hereafter,
in all cases where the orders are not prompt
ly complied with, they will be at once en
forced by an arrest of the delinquent.
