Mr.. AND Mrs. HOWARD PAUL.-The Army
and Nauy TTniop int od tho first of fhoi
series of entertainments last evening with the
delightful and unique selections and imper-
sonations by Mr.. & Mrs. Howard Paul. There
was large audience in attendance, and we
can only echo the general verdict Of the press
elsewhere when we say that we have rarely
been more amused, or passed an evening more
agreeably. Mr.. Howard Paul was very COED,
his best impersonation being when "George
the III. was King" but Mrs. Howard Paul is
the feature of the performance. Her dream
of the Reveller" was splendid piece of dra-
matte acting, and was the selection of the even
ing, while among her comicalities, her Gun
protected Female" was as good bit of come
dy, or rather of broad farce we ever saw. Her
representation of "Sims Reeves" the great
English tenor, we are told, by those who have
seen him, is wonderful it is so true to life. But
where all the selections were SO good, and the
impersonatiOns so excellent, it is difficult to
praise one above the other, and we would urge
upon all who wish to enjoy one of the pleas
antest evenings they ever spent, to attend the
performance tonight Mr.. Pratt accompanied
on the piano very acceptably. This evening
there will be an entire change of programme,
and the committee of arrangements have also
made an engagement with Mr.. Patterson,
gentleman who is totally blind, to vary the en-
tertainment with a violin solo.

THE ROBBERY ON SOUTH STREET.-It will
b. remembered that we mentioned in Mon
days paper the robbery of some clothing from
a Mrs. Stevens on South street, and that girl
named Cornea Mclaughlin had been arrest
ed for the theft.
1t seems that this girl whose name is Della
Mclaughlin, was employed in hotel in East.
port, aud, only 16 years of age, came from there
with Mrs. Stevens family some time ago to
take care of Mrs. Stevens little child. She
had always behaved herself up to the time of
the robbery. On Thursday night last Mrs. s.
retired about IL o'clock. The family, by the
way, occupy the lower part of house on
South street. Shortly after retiring Della en-
tered the room and saw Mrs. SIS watch on
the dressing table. She remarked to Mrs. s.
that it was dangerous place to leave so valu-
able an article,and slipped it between the beds.
She then started to 60 into the back room, or
kitchen, when Mrs. S. told her the back door
was fastened. Della replied she was going in
TO warm herself. Mrs. s. heard the bolt slip
but thought nothing of it, slept very sound. as
did her child but remembers hearing a win.
dow lifted in the night. The next morning the
given Deputy Marshal Perry by Mrs. Stevens
She did not suspect the girl until series of
questions put by him to her opened her eyes to
some things in connection with the affair she
had not before thought of. Deputy Perry then
arrested the girl. She said she met girl
named Abby O'Brion on Congress street, who
walked down to the house with her, and then
rushed up stairs and soon after went out.
Abby O'Brion was arrested and Della allowed
to go. On Mr.. Stevens conversing with Della
on the subject, Della said Abby had nothing to
do with 1t, and told such confused stories that
Mrs. Stevens told the officer about it and he
arrested Della the second time She then said
she secreted man, living on Pleasant street,
in the cellar and then threw the clothes out of
the window to him after letting him out the
front door. The man was arrested yesterday.
We should judge from all accounts that the
girl is crazy. She tells new story every
little while. Sine wrote partial confession of
her crime and tried to snatch it from the
officer on her way to the station, but failed.
She also slipped on the ice on the way to the
lookup, and previous to being taken there
drank lot of paragoric mixed with some
harmless medicines. Altogether it is very
queer affair." We understand that Mrs Stew
ems does not admit that she was drugged, al
though she slept very soundly, but she does
admit having seen a clairvoyant to discover
who stole the property. The above story is
authorized by the police authorities.

LARCENY.-Last night sailor fell into bad
company in the Strafford Block, at Mrs.
Poole's. When he went into the establish
ment he had sixty dollars in fves, and two
tens aud one twenty dollar bill, besides seven
dollars in small bills He treated the girls in
the place, but all at once, while treating for
the third time, he missed the 500 bill. He
thought perhaps, he lett it at another place in
the same block where he was wel-known, and
enquired there. They remembered that he had

POole's and told Mrs. p son it had better be
returned. Mrs. P.'s son said it should be look

man who said at first he remembered his hav-
ing the money in the house and then said he
didn't The sailor, while walking with him
suddenly found that since his second visit to

ARREST OF THIEvEs.-On last Thanksgiv ing
Day, Jordan Rolf was robbed of a watch val
ued at $50. Officer Cammett suspected two
boys of the theft and kept his eye on them,
one of them being named Flaherty, and yes
terday discovered that they had tried to sell the
watch to dealer on Fore street. The dealer
told them they must bring an order from the
person to whom the watch belonged before he
should buy it, the boy having stated in the
first place that he was Office boy to w. w.
Thomas, Jr. The boys shortly returned bring
ing an order written in one handwriting, re-
questing the man to give the boy all the watch
was worth, and with the name of Mr.. Thomas
signed in another hand writing The officer
then said he guessed he would go with them
and sse Mr.. Thomas, but Mr.. Thomas office
was locked. The boy then said his father
owned the watch, and that he was a marble
worker on the new Pos.-oAice, but the father
said he never owned the watch, and at last the
boy confessed he snatched it from Rolf.
THE NASHUA & ROCHESTER, RAILROAD
It will be seen by special dispatch in our tel
egraphic columns that Rochester has sub
scribed $4,000 to the stock of the Portland &
Rochester Railroad. This favorable action
will give new impetus to the enterprise. The
contracts for the completion of the road
bed of the Portland & Rochester Railroad
from Alfred to Springvale, taken by Messrs.
Hitchings, Wood & Co., limit the time for the
work to be done to the first of June, 1870, and
the contract for grading the road from the lat
ter place to Rochester, taken by the same par
ties, requires that to be done by the first of
September, 1870. 1t is very probable that both
will be complied with within their limited
time. A large force is at work now grading
the road between Alfred and Springvale

PORTLAND THEATRE.-Yesterday morning
we dropped into the theatre for a few minutes
to see new drop curtain that is almost COM
pleted, the work of Mr. Low, OF Boston, who
also assisted in the painting of the scenery at
the Adelphi Theatre in that city. The drop
is supposed to represent villa on the lake of
Como, and evinces great deal of ability in
the artist. The proprietors are also having
several new scenes painted, new tormentors,
etc. Our citizens will no doubt appreciate
these efforts to make the theatre worthy of the
city, and we hope to see first class companies
make it point to give their performances
here.

This road runs through the richest and most
thckly settled portion of this magnificent
| State, and is the only link wanting to connect
st. Louis and st. Paul by a direct line, 147
miles shorter than any other.
1t runs through the great coal fields of South
ern Iowa to the North where coal ia indispcn-
~~bio and De carried.
1t runs from the great lumber regions of the
North, through district of country which is
destitute of this prime necessity.
IT DOES NOT RUN THROUGH A WILDERNESS
where it would wait for years for population
to give it business, but through tier of coun-
ties which are now producing about twenty
million bushels of grain, most of which is freight
for railroads.
Forty-fve miles are Just diminished, and the
Superintendent reports that on the portion
open for business the net earnings are more
than the interest liabilities.
| Sixty miles more are graded, and million
and half of dollars have already been expend-
| ed on the work.
The mortgage is made to the Farmers Loan
and Trust Co., and bonds can be issued only
at the rate of SIG 900 per mile, or only half the
amount upon some other roads. Special secu-
rity is provided for the principal and for the
| payment of interest.
First mortgages upon most railroads are the
| very safest investments, and so far as we can
learn, there is not single completed line in
the Northwest which is not only paying its in
terest, but good dividend upon its stock
| The immense grain and other freights to be
carried away, and the domestic supplies to be
brought in, ensure profitable business.
-Fi-st Mnrt9age Bonds for SO small an amount
upon road running through such a rich and
already wellsettled part eff Iowa, can well be
recommended as perfectly safe as we'll as very
profitable investment. At the present rate
they pay about ten per cent. on the invest
ment. Over $4OO, 900 have been taken by the

Ter, of Middlebury. The Rutland Her.

"Capt. Southland saw service during

wound IN the foot. He was recommend
ed for the position, we understand, by
nearly all the prominent men in the
State, presenting a petition that could
not fail to be recognized if any changes
