20 SEE THE BLOOD HoUNDs.-All those
VINO have not seen the celebrated Blood
Hounds Hero and Jack, now on exhibition at
Old City Hall, should improve the present OPP
.portunity as they remain only through Tues
day and Wednesday. They are great cuIiosi-
ties and should be seen by all. Hero, of Cas-
tie Thunder renown, is an immense dog,
weighing nearly 200 pounds, and measuring
over seven feet from tip to Zip. He is the fin
est specimen of the canine species we ever be-
held. He seems pleasant enough to look at,
but the least irritation turns him to a savage
brute, and we are told that in those moods he
viii bite even his master. He Is treacherous
and cannot be trusted a moment He was
kept at Castle Thunder Prison, In Richmond,
by the rebels, as a fit subject to guard Union
prisoners. Jack is a smaller hound, of the
Cuban species and was one OF seven kept by
Capt Werz at Andersonville prison for the
purpose Of capturing escaped Union prison
ers, and many are the unfortunate soldiers
that can testify to his having done his duty
well. No one should Gail to go and sec them
as this will be the last time they will ever be
exhibited in this city. The price of admission
Is only 10 cents for adults, and 10 cents for
children. Wednesday afternoon, school chill
dren who go in a body, viii be admitted for
cents.

ARREST FOR FoEGERY.-A few weeks
since check for $1S1.30, was presented at the
FIRST National Bank in this city, payable to
and purporting to be endorsed by William
Small Of Fort Fairfield. 1t was paid by Mr..
George P. Barrett, paying teller of the Bank I;
but 1t YVES subsequently discovered that the
endorsement was forgery. 1t appears that
after the check had been drawn it was sent to
Mr.. Small at Houlton, but, at that place, by
some mistake at the post Office, it fell into the
hands of one William Small, Jr., who got one
Daniel Small. to endorse the name of William
Small upon the check, aud to bring it to Port
land, where he received the money.
Mr.. Barrett, the paying teller, upon finding
that the money had been paid to the wrong
person, and that the endorsement was forge
ry, entered complaint against Daniel Small
of Ludlow, Aroostook County, who was ar
rested at Houlton on Saturday the 18th inst
Daniel owned up everything lie knew and
stated that William Small, Jr, who had re
ceived the money, had gone to Idaho. As he
had long before sustained good reputation in
the community where he resided, the matter
was settled by Daniels paying 81, 600.
