Tl.o following talc was snrrgettcd by the
prcixntation and punishment, in 1745, nf an
"idle person," as commemorated by the Court
records ot Maine, The sketch opens thus:
'What shall we have lor dinner, Mr.
Gotlridgc!' said the wife of Jerry Gut-
IriJgc, in a sad, desponding tone, as tier
husband carnc into their log hotel, from
u neighboring grog-shop, about twelve
o'clock on a hoi July day".
'O, pick up snuieihiug,' soH Jerry,
'and I wish you would he spry and jet it

■Well, ro ik something,.' said Jerry, 'no
nattor what it is.*
•lint, Mr. Guttridge, we haven't got
hoine, and take care of your hruts,
lei your neighbors' alone.'
Mr. Frier sat and looked Jerry calmly
in the fane without Uttering a syllable,
while lie, bavin;; blown his blast, marched
cut of doors and steered directly fi.r the
grog-shop, leaving Ins wife to'pick up
something,' if she could, to keep herself
and children from absolute starvation.
The benevolent neighbor look one of
the children home with him, and hating
first fed bira,loaded him bountifully with
provisions for the family.
Mr. Flier's benevolent feeling bad bo,
enmn highly excited. He forgot bit
four tons of hay, and sal down to consult
with his wife about what could he done
for the Guttridge family. Something
must be done soon, for be was not able
to support tlicm all the lime J and if they
were left all alone much longer they
would starve. lie told his wife he had :i
good mind to go and enter a Complaint

idle person, that rjid'nt provide for his
family. The court sets 01 SacO to-inornw

His wife thought lie had better go
ovcr.firsl .-mil l.ilk with Mrs Guttridge
about it; and if she Was Willing, he had
heller do it. Mr. Frier said ha could go
ever and talk with bet, bat didn't thilili
it would I .• lllO least us.', for she loved
was, and he didn't be.

i|. n, as
for il, I think I should feel it my duly lo
go and complain of biro,
'Well, I don't know but it would be
best' said Mrs. Guttridge, 'and if you
think il would make him go to work,
I'm Willing you should. When will the
court set?'
'Tomorrow,' said Mr. Frier; 'and I'll
give up nil other business, and go and at-tend
lo it.'
'But what will the court do to him,
Mr. Frier?' said Mrs. Guttridge*,
'Well, I don't know,' said Mr. Flier,
'hut I ex;»e.t I hey will punish him; and
I know the*, will make him go to work.'
'I'unish him!' eiclaimcdTrlra. tiutl-ridge,
with a troubled air. 'Seems lo me
I don't want lo have him punished. Dot
do you think, .Mr. Frier they will hurl
him iiny?'
•Well, I think it's likely,' said Mr.
Frier, ' they will hurt him some; but you
must remember, Mrs. Guttridge, it is
heller to smart once, than always to ache.
Remember loo, you will be out of provi-sions
again, by to-morrow. * Your neigh-bors
can't support your family all I he
lime; and if your husband don't go to
work you'll be starving again. Stilt, if
you don't feel willing, and don't think U't
beat, I won't go near the jury, nor do no-thin'
ahoul it.'
"•Oil dear I well, I don't know 1' said
Mrs. Gutlridgfl with liars in her eyes.
•\ .«•: iniv do jest asyou dunk best'aboul
lo auswer lolhe charges preferred against
liim. Mis. Sally Guttridge and Mr. Na-than
Frier were summoned as witnesses.
When Ibe honorable court was ready to
hear ihccase, the clerk called Jerry Gutt-ridge,
«nd bade him hearken to an in-dictment
found against him, by the grand
inqucsl for the district of Maine, now
tolling at Saco, in Ibe following words:
' We present Jerry Guttridge for an
idle person, nnd not providing for his fa-mily
; and giving roproacbful language
lo Mr. Nat. Kiicr, when he reproved him
for his idleness. Jerry Guttridge, what
say you lo Ibis indictment? Are you
guilty thereof, or not guilty ?'
'Not guilly', said Jerry ; 'and here's
my wife can tell you the same, any day.
Sally, haven't I always provided lor my
family?'
' Why, yes,' said Mrs. Guttridge, 'I
don't know but you have as well as '
' Stop, slop !' said the judge, looking
down over the top of his spectacles at
the witness,' slop, Mrs. Guttridge : you
(nils', not answer iiucslions until you have
hnen sworn.'
The court then directed the clerk to
swear the witnesses; w hereupon, he call-ed
Nat. 1'rii r and Sally Gutlrldgc, lo
step forward and hold I'p their right
hands. Mr. Friejrailtnn/led with n rea-dy
liongsj air, anilberaup bit hand.—
Mrs. Guttridge lingered a little bi hind ;
but when at last she fullered along with
Jerry dropped his head, and his face
nsssumed divers deep Colors, sometimes
hading upon Ibe blue, lie tiled to
glance around upon the assembled mul-titude,
hul bis look was very slid pish;
and, unable to Hand the gaze of the hun-dreds
of eyes that were turned upon him,
he seltled back on a bench, leaned his
head on his hand, and looked steadfastly
upon the lloor. Tho constables haling
been directed by Ibe court to proceed
forthwith to execute the sentence, Ihey
ltd him out into the ynrd, put bis arms
round the \vhinp:ng-posl, and tied his
hands together. Ho euhmmjtted without
resistance; hut when they commenced
lying his hands round the post, he began
o crv and beg, and promise bctlcr ftsh

a bag. The entrance is bv a bole at lh«
bottom. The place for l!ie deposit el
the eggs is midway up; and forms a pro-jection
or (welling in ibe side.—It has
been found that the occasion of this mode
of building, is to ovoid the depredations
of a small kind of lizard, which climbs
iho tree, and would pilfer the eggs or
destroy the voting; hul descending the

was too lalo now: the sentence of the
court bad been passed, and the punish-ment
must be infleted. The whole throng
of spectators had issued from ibe court-house,
and stood round in a large ring, to
see the sentence enforcrd. The judge
himself hnd stepped to a side- window,
which commanded a view nf the yard, and
