ed that Shea stole lot of leather and unfin-
ished boots from Bachelor at Blackstone, and
from VIM. B. H. Loring of HolIston, last

with his consent, though the defendant claims
that he was informed that they were goods

from his employer, on account of labor per-
formed. G. F. Very, Esq, was counsel for
defendant.

months, This comparative leniency was ex.
tended to him, in consideration that the offence

frenzy, to which defendant was peculiarly
addicted

WEIGH of Milford, and VIM. II. Emerson of
Auburn, the latter "dog law" case, were
dismissed on account of defects in the papers.

FIRE IN PETERSHAM-A Man Burned to
Deah.-About o'clock last Sunday morning
the dwelling house of Simon M. Pike, situated
on the New Salem road, about mile from the
village OF Petersham, was discovered to be on
fire by Mr.. VIM. Merry, who gave the alarm,
and on reaching the house the inside was
found to be burned out, and the walls and roof
Just ready to fall in. After the frame had fall
en-, the body of Mr.. Pike was discovered
among the burning rubbish in the cellar, but
before it could be reached the chimney and a
portion of the cellar well fell, burying it be-
meath their ruins. After considerable time the
remains were taken out, when the head
and limbs of the body were found to be
burned off, and the trunk was a manged
and shapeless mass. The coroner, Cephas
Willard, Esq, summoned jury of inquest
who, after examination rendered a verdict
that "the deceased came to his death from
sutfocation by the accidental burning of his
house, while in Il fit (which he has been sub
Ject toy or i'll a state of intoxication" The re-
mains were placed in coffin and removed to
the grave yard, where funeral ceremonies
were had, and they were inferred Sunday at.
ternoon. MIR. Pike was 60 years old, man
of Incorporate habits, and lived alone, his wife
having left him year or two since to reside
with her friends. DIR. Parkhurst passed the
house about two hours before the fire was dis
covered, and noticed a candle burning in the
window near Pixies bed, and it is probable
that the fire was in some way communicated
from thence to the bed. The high wind of
Monday completely demolished the barn upon
the same premises.

will meet at the headquarters this evening, at
8 O'clock

GENEROUS PREsENTATIoN.-On Sunday,
18th inst, the members of the Father Mathew
Temperance Society, of this city, waited on
Rev. P. T. O'Reilly, and presented to him
purse containing 1925, as an acknewledg-
ment of the high esteem in which they hold
him, and the position he occupies in their af
fections The presentation was made by the
president of the society, John Fahey Esq,
in behalf of the members, to whose remarks
the reverend gentleman eloquently replied.
THE FIRE SATURDAY MoRNING.-The
damage done by the fire at the corner shop of
B. F. Otis & Co., Saturday morning, will not
fall far short of $500. The fire caught in
the attic, and is supposed to have been occa-
stoned by spontaneous combustion The
building was owned by DR.. John Green, and
was insured for 81 200 in Dorchester. The
stock and tools of Messrs. Otis & Co., were
insured for $4,000 in the Peoples office in this
city which will not quite cover the loss.
The PUMP ON THE CoMMoN.-We are glad
to see our tried friend, the chain pump on the
common, again in good working order. 1t
has had long revenge on the depraved ras-
Gals, who, not satisfied with battering the
faithful tin cup attached to it, laid their vandal
hands on its handle in a most outrageous man
ner. Who blames the faithful and torbearing
public servant for drying up after such
usage? But now all is right again, and, like
the pump of Salem, which Hawthorne writes
about, it cries aloud to all and sundry, in its
plainest accents, and at the very tip top OF its
voice. Here it is, gentlemen Here is the
good liquor Walk up, walk up, walk up!
Here is the superior stuff Here is the una
duIterated ale of father Adam-better than
Cognac, Hollands, Jamaica, strong beer or
wine of any price here it is by the hogshead
Or the single glass, and not a cent to pay
Walk up, gentlemen, walk up and help your
selves

The WeStbOro' Reform SchOoI-A Letter
the Boys,


Without the advice or even the knowledge
of Mr.. Starr or the other officers, the boys of
the Reform School have written the enclosed
communication, which they desire you to pub
fish with this note attached. / am not an of
ficer of the school, but believe this letter is
the true sentiment Of the boys. Some of the
boys whose names here appear have had ex-
perience in those "black holes" but they love
the hand that chastened them.
Truly yours II. o. WILEY
Westboro', Aug. 16, 1860.
We, the undersigned, boys in the State Re-
form School at Westboro', having seen and
heard OF the report Of the committee of the
governors council, would like to express our
sentiments through the columns of your
paper.
When we see the character of such a man
as Mr.. Starr assailed, we consider it our duty
as boys committed to his care, considering
that it is on our account that such charges are
made to counteract the erroneous impressions
made in the community, and to use our hum
bic efforts to exonerate him from what we
consider unjust accusation.
We have ever found him to be kind and
humane disciplinarian, honored, loved, and
respected by every well disposed boy in the
institution, and we challenge the committee or
any one else to pick out any BOY who has any
AtS"NA " SNAhANoPSSt " coy any thluB " lle
contrary.
All our necessary wants have been imme.
diatelyi ATTENDED to, on application to him. He
has done everything in his power to promote
our happiness, and make our stay here plea.
SAINT and agreeable one.
We will not at this time undertake to refute
the charges made against Mr.. Starr, but if any
one doubts that our treatment is just or thinks
'the punishments Unprecedented, excessive
and barbarous, not calculated to reform and
amend, but to degrade and brutaize," let him
come up and visit US, and we will show him
that it does not tend "to render the school. its
discipline, and teachings, hateful, nor neutral
ize any good there to be derived"
Though the heather rage and the people
imagine evil things, we want to see justice
done, which we hope will in measure satisfy
the public mind.
In conclusion we would add that some of the
boys who have received such "barbarous treat
mem" reminding the committee of "the dark
and semi. barbarous ages of religious intoler
ance and persecution" have cheerfully and of
their own accord affixed their names to this
paper.
And If the mind Of all the boys was taken
in regard to this matter, it would be unani.
nous and conclusive in favor of our worthy
superinfendant

FITcHBURG.-The new jail in Fitchburg
has now twenty-three prisoners, having re-
ceived an increase at the present session o.
the criminal court. On Wednesday last the
grand jury, after the conclusion of their labors,
made visit to the institution, and found eve
rything there well arranged and in goodorder,
under the judicious management of the Tailor,
Deputy Sheriff A. 2. Kimball On Saturday
forenoon the second (petit) jury made a SINH
lar visit there, and made a similar report On
their return quite an interesting incident oc-
Cured. About midway between the jail and
the village they were met by carriage in
which was one of the convicts Daniel Mulkeyl
IN charge of the officer, on his way to his new
quarters for the coming two years. Just be-
fore coming up to them, however, the convict
managed to seize a favorable opportunity to
elude the vigilance of his keeper, and escaped,
taking to his heels at 2:40 gait. The depu-
ty sheriff pursued him, and, with the aid of
the jurors, the same jury who convicted the
prisoner, he finally succeeded in capturing the
escaped criminal, without any very material
delay in his progress to the Jail.

age when the Hungarian revolution broke
out, yet at that early age he secretly left his
home and presented himself to Kossuth, ex.
pressing his anxiety to do something for his
country. He was with Kossuth when he fled
to Turkey, and came with him to this coun.
try. He is familiar with eight languages, and
is qualified to serve his country either as
physician or as christian missionary. He
gave an outline of the political history of his
fatherland for the last few centuries, and of
the last struggle and downfall of Hungary.
