HIEvING.-Last fall, one d. L.
Beausipaus was sent to Island Pond.
by the Supt. Of the G. I. Railroad,
as night agent to keep the men from
stealing from the company. For
some time past cars stopping there
over night have been opened and
goods taken therefrom. On Friday
night, September 20, Harry Parrot,
switchman, on going to the upper
end of the yard saw Beausipaus ell
ter one of the freight cars and soon
came out with a chest OF tea, which
he deposited behind "a pile Of wood,
and started for the depot. Parrot
at once went into the telegraph OF
fee, wheE b. Sool came in. Parrot
told him he was going up on a train
that was about to start, and come
back on one due there in about an
hour. Parrot got upon the train, but
rode only to the vicinity of BIS. house,
jumped of, and laid in wait for the
thief. He soon discovered B. coming
with his tea, stopped him, and made
him carry it back to the depot. Dur
ing Saturday and Sunday, two chests
of tea, two thirty gallon wine casks
and fifty pounds Of nutmeg5 were
found concealed i'll the wood about the

TOUCH CUsToMERs.-Charles Ran
som and Albert and Daniel Maran-
vile, of Salem, have evidently been
carrying on the thieving business tor
several months on an extended scale.
Early in the summer there had been
considerable property and money
stolen in Bloomington, Coventry and

of Coventry, lost $500 in the follow
ing manner. One Edgar Clark, at
the instigation of Ransom, and Al

ed in Burroughs family, gained access
to the bedroom on pretense OF chang
ing his clothes. Knowing where the
money was kept he took it, and i'm
mediately FASTENED to the sugar-house
of Mr.. Burroughs, where he found
his companions. But they not pos
sessing the usual amount of honor
said to exist among thieves, drugged
Clark and stole his portion of the
money. Clark awoke the next morn
ing to find his friends and money gone.
Pursuit was made and though traces
could be found the thieves were not
captured till about the 1st of Sept,
when authorities in Rochester, n. H.,
found and arrested them On hear

The MARYLAND MILITIA.-Much
attention has been drawn to this sing
ularly constituted body by the excited
declarations of Senator Thayer re-
specting the revolutionary designs of
President johnson. But aside from
this association, there is certainly
something rather curious about the
organization of such a State militia
at this time. Instead of drawing on
the General Government for muskets,
of which it has an abundant supply
Of a quality good enough for all ordi-
nary militia purposes, Maryland has
reduced the value of its quota into
artillery and made its requisition for
that arm alone. 1t orders new Spring
field muskets, together with equip
ments, at a cost of twenty-three dol
lars per man. The uniforms already
ordered amount to over $iS8,OO0 and
the arms swell the expense to above
$23O.OOO-and this in a State bur
dened with a debt of nearly four mil.
lions of dollars and having hard work
before it to escape bankruptcy.
The total of the organized militia
is about ten thousand; four thousand
six hundred being in Baltimore alone
The artillery companies are almost
entirely composed of returned rebe
soldiers. The Commissary General
whose saddle-cloth was got up at al
expense of eighty dollars, was th,

He dictates the terms of reconstruc-

and not a servant of the people, as
though he were the law itself and
