LARCENY OF CIGARs.-Mr. George S. Hunt
on Commercial street, has missed cigars from
his warehouse for sometime back. Last Fri
day he informed Mr.. Head, the City Marshal,
of the facts, who, after some enquiry as to who
had access to the premises, ordered the arrest
of George NJ. Coburn, young man about IS
years of age, who has recently been discharged
from the employ of Messrs. Yeaton & Hale.
Coburn owned up, and implicated Charles r.
Woodsum, 10 years old, and John Dahany, IL
years old, as accomplices. One of these was in
Lmington and the other In Baldwin. Deputy
Marshal Wentworth aud officer Pickett went
out and arrested both of them, Tuesday night,
and brought them to the city.
1t appears from the confessions of the par
ties that they entered the store of Yeaton d
Hale by removing the grating on the sidewalk I;
then they went up into the third story and let
themselves down into Mr. Hunts premises by
the wheelrope They had stolen about 1000
of the best Spanish cigars, 1900 of which were
recovered from the persons to whom they had
sold them. The purchasers at once identified
the rogues who had sold them the cigars. All
three OF them were locked up to await the
