THIEVES ARRESTED Two persons, charged

THIEVES ARRESTED Two persons, charged
with stealing the horse and buggy, taken from
Farnsworth's stable on Tuesday last, mem
toned in our paper of Saturday, were arrested at
Jewett's city on Saturday, and brought to town
by Deputy Sheriff Baker in the steamboat train,
on Sunday morning. The man who hired the
team gives his name Benjamin Cook, and SAYS
he belongs to New Hampshire. He went from
this place to Webster, and there took in two as.
sociates, whence they drove to Middletown,
Conn. The horse there gave out under their
treatment, so they sold the buggy, harness, and
whip, worth 800, for 1926, and led the horse to
Voluntown. The condition of the horse, here
was such that they sold it for SIT, and ride to
the depot at Jewetts city. At that place, the
landlord where they stopped, named Brown
hearing from the man who brought them, the
story of the purchase of the horse, detained
them on suspicion of stealing horse, adver-
tised to have been stolen at Providence
In the afternoon, however, handbills were receiv
ed from this place, describing the team, &c.. and
by means thereof, the rogues and property were
identified, and they were Immediately sent here,
as above stated. The name of the second one is
given as George Andrews, alias Judge. He con-
fesses to the selling of the carriage, &C.. and is
thus implicated in the theft The third was
young man, whose completely in the matter
could not, probably, be established and he was
suffered to go at large They will probably be
examined this morning.

The Transcript and the Firemem's MuA-
ter,
Mr.. Editor The Transcript has seized the
opportunity afforded by the occurrences of the
late Firemen's Muster, to spitefully throw the
whole blame of the dsordeIly proceedings thereat
upon the City Government. The fremen are
simply "softsoaped one word is said in
condemnation of portion of them, the editor had
not the moral courage to do it. His object is, to
do what he can, to break down the present City
Government and the Police Cortland why the
Police Courti Those who know the fact, that
he was an unsuccessful applicant for the clerk
ship of the Court, can easily guess. He says,
give us a temperance City Government, "and we
could do without Police Court one Trial JUS
tee could do all the business of the city" What
glorious project is here fOreshadowed. Give us
a City Government such as he shall select, abol
ish the Police Court, himsel get appointed Trial
Justice by the influence of his City Government,
and then he will be satisfied Let us look at some
of his figures of the statistics of crime for this year
in this city
"Since the first day of January last, there have
been $50 arrests made by the police of this city.
OF this number, 534-nearIy four-ffhs-have
been for drunkenness, disturbing the peace, dis
orderly conduct, and BEING common dTunkards.
All these offences have their cause in the use of
liquor. large per centage of the remaining
number of cases, such assaults, & c., have I'M
doubtedly sprung from the same cause. During
the single day of the Firemen's Muster, AZ were
arrested for various Offences nine tenths of them
having their origin in the free of liquor"
With temperance City Government, says the
Transcript, such state of things could not ex-
ist.
Let us see. We last year had temperance
City Government, supported by the editor of the
Transcript and we find that last year, from Jan.
uary LIST to September 10TH there were I'll arrests,
made by the police ofthe city, For drunkenness
in 1857 during the same time there were 1863 ar.
rests made, to 334 the present year.
During the single day Of the Fireman's Muster
last year, there were twenty arrests made for
drunkenness the same day this year. there were
eighteen. What swelled the total number of ar
rests this year, was the large number of suspic-
ious persons from abroad, arrested and locked up
until they could be sent out of the city.
The above statement will show how much reli.
ance can be placed upon the transcripts stats
tics, and also how much more efficient was the
temperance City Government of last year, for
the suppression of rum selling than is the City
Government of this year.

THE NEwBURYPoRT HERALD, in commenting
upon the late convention of deaf mutes, has in
advertently fallen into some errors, in relation to
the Asylum at Hartford. It says "Mr Gallaudet
died in 1853 Mr.. Clerc succeeded him as
President of the Asylum at Hartford, but, in
consequence of increasing years, resigned his
place in 1862
The facts are, that Mr.. Gallaudet was Prinei-
pal of the Asylum, from its foundation, in 1917
till 1880, when he resigned the situation, and was
succeeded by Rev. Lewis Weld. Mr.. Weld was
admirably adapted to the situation, and 1t was
probably the great confidence reposed in him by
Mr.. 6. that induced him to resign The place in
his favor, in order that his talents aud services
might be permanently secured to the institution
Mr.. Gallaudet continued his connection with the
Asylum-as Trustee, we believe-to the time Of
his death, and often spoke of the high estimation
in which he held Mr.. Weld The latter remained
Principal more than twenty three years, to the
time of his dealh-Dec. 80, 1858. He was sue
ceeded by the present Principal, Rev. William
W. Turner.
Mr.. Clerc nigh: probably have been the Prin-
clpal, but, for the almost absolute necessity, on
account of the details of business that devolve on
that officer, that the Principal should be able to
hear and to speak. We believe, that, during the
whole time of his connection with the Institu-
ton-nearly forty years-he was looked upon
and esteemed more associate and peer of
the Principal, than as a subordinate and by his
fidelity as teacher, his example a Christian,
and the many esumabe traits in his character,
as man and gentleman, he won the conf.
dence and regard of all who were in any way con-
nected with the Institution.

THREE HUNDRED MORMON WOMEN RENoUNc-
ING THE FAITH.-By the arrival of Young
man named Herbert Brandon, we have been
furnished with the following information from
Salt Lake:
"I' (says our informant) ''left Camp Scott
on the 18th OF June. The Mormon excite
meut had been entirely abated. Several
Norman trains had passed Camp Scott on
their way to the States.
They stated, while camped at the above
place, that they would not have been permit
ted to leave, or they would have abandoned
Salt Lake long ago.
On being questioned as to their determin-
alton to resist the entrance Of the United
States troops, they replied that the major
part of the Mormons only awaited the en-
trance of the troops, in order to escape from
Brigham Young and Mormonsm.
On the arrival at Camp Scott, they were
minus the common necessaries of life On
being asked the cause of their destitute con-
dition, they stated that before Brigham Young
had relented from his determination to resist
the troops, he had ordered them to deposit
what provisions they had, in the store house !;
but as soon as he made known his intention
OF going south, those of the Mormons who
refused to go, were deprived of all, and cou Id
get nothing for their outfit. They also stated
that but fer the interference of Gov. Cum
ming, the destroying angel would have forced
them away, and that they did succeed, in
some instances,in driving awayseveral women.
l came down with two Norman trains from
Camp Scott, numbering about three hundred
persons, principally women, who were chiefly
English, and some Scotch and the principal
topic OF their conversation throughout was the
absurdity Of Mormonism and its principles.
They were ali unanimous in their denuncia-
tions of Brigham Young and his apostles, and
talked OF his assassination by the Mormons
who remained at Camp Scott, as a sure event.
They have all (without exception] become
disguised with Mormonlsm and renowned it.
and expressed their determination from hence.
forth TO use all their efforts for the total an
Inhalation Of Mormonism. They express
their desire to return to their native countries.
and would, if they had the means to do so,
in order that they might be instrumental in
saving Others from the banetul influence OF
Mormonism. On their arrival at Portsmouth,
on the Missouri River, they had calculated to
cross over the Council Bluffs but the bad
condition OF tile roads in Iowa changed their
resolve, and they are now dispensing them
selves in Kanzas and Nebraska Territories"

ROBBERS CAUeHT.-A few weeks since the
store of Mr.. A. Il. Willard of Still River,
was entered, and goods taken to the amount
of $500. 1t now proves that one Charles II.

Wheeler went to Harvard and getting knowl-

Palmer then picked up anbther associate,

with loaded pistol, to prevent his outory.
Notwithstanding his submission, he was Of
