LARcENY.-Saturday officer Smith arrested
Charles w. Gilman, about Is years old, for lar
ceny of $5S from an old man named Porter,
who obtains livelihood by saving wood. 1t
was all the money he had. He boarded with
Gilman's mother, and the boy taking advan-
tage of his absence went into his room, I'M
locked the chest and stole the savings of the
poor man. Gilman had been enjoying himself
in sleigh riding, and having been up before for
larceny was suspected. On being arrested by
ohcer Smith he owned up, but had spent all
the money. --.-

BAR MILLS, Jan. 8, 1862
Mr.. EDIToR,- Really, the heretofore quiet
little town Of Hollis is getting to be of some
notoriety, and hardly day passes but some
thing exciting happens Lately we have been
having series of burglaries which terminated
in the capture of the rogue. Wednesday night
the grocery store of Mr.. Daniel johnson
at Salmon Falls was consumed by
fire with all its contents. Everything
indicated that the store had been enter
ed and set on fire within, as the door was
found to be unlocked, and some planks cover
ing an aperture in the CELLAR wall were re-
moved. The goods amounted in value to about
$4,000. Insured for $500. The store of
Messrs. G. G. Leavitt & Son, near by, was con
siderably injured, and it was only by the ac-
tive exertions OF the crowd that it was saved
from being entirely consumed.
A brass band, consisting of sixteen pieces,
was organized in this village about two months
ago under the instructions of Warren York of
Biddeford, with Mr.. Henry Sawyer as leader,
Andrew Berry, Treasurer and John Meserve,
Clerk. Last evening it made its first appear
ance in public, serenading several of the citi-
zens of the village. Considering the time of
practice, they executed remarkably well, and
gave all a pleasant surprise at their rapid pro-
press

SENATORIAL CoNTEsTs.-The present year is
extremely prolific in Senatorial contests. In
New York Fenton is contesting the election of
Morgan with so much spirit that there is some
probability that Marshall o. Roberts will be
brought forward as a compromise candidate.
The Conservatives headed by Raymond favor
Morgan, while the Radicals under the lead of
Greeley are for Fenton. Mr.. Greeley, howev-
er, has recently joined the Roberts. move
ment.
The contest in Missouri attracts even more
attention than that in New York, owing chiefly
to an ardent desire on the part of the radical
wing of the Republican party throughout the
country to see Gen. Carl Schurz member of
the Senate. There is the same feeling in this
matter that was excited by the contest between
Hamlin and Morrill,, disinterested parties eve-
rywhere favoring the selection of the former
as they do that of Schurz. Opposed to this
gallant General are the recreant Senator Hen
derson and Gen. Loan, both of whom are can
didates. 1t is curious enough to find Senator
Drkae opposing Schurz on the ground that the
latter favors the Acknowledgement Of Rebels in
Missouri: but Schurz' explanation Of his pc
sition on that subject in speech before leg
islative caucus at Jefferson City, Friday night,
completely refutes that charge.
In Michigan Senator Chandler has been re-
nominated after contest with distinguished
opponents. Chandler is rich, festive and radi-
cal, and it is to be feared makes sort of pock-
ct borough of the peninsular where he dwells.
AT any rate the grief OF the nation would not
have been very poignant if new man had
been sent to Washington in his place. The
State of Nevada has done well in renominat-
ing W. H. Stewart by unanimous vote. A
brief sketch of the unknown John Scott whom |
Pennsylvania sends in place of Buckalew will |
be found elsewhere. Senator Sumner will re-
ceive a reelection without opposition. In
New Jersey Robert Stockton. King Of Camden
& Amboy and Copperhead Democrat, will
probably take the place of Mr. Frelinghuysen.
Senator Upton hopes to be returned from Ne
braska, but there are multitudes of opposing
candidates, as there are for the places soon
happily to be left by Doolittle OF Wisconsin,
and Hendricks of Indiana. Ramsey OF Min
nesota, will hardly secure another term. In
West Virginia the election of a successor of
Van Wrinkle will take place on the ID of Feb
ruary. In New Jersey and Wisconsin the
election will take place on the Goth Of Janua-
ry, and in ali the other States mentioned above |

The NEW PENNSYLVANIA SENAToR.-The
Hon. John Scott, who has been nominated by
the Republican caucus of the Pennsylvania
Legislature to succeed Mr.. Buckalew in the
United States Senate, is not well known out
side of his State. He has had little experience
in public affairs, it experience means the hold
ing of office. He was member of the lower
house of the Legislature; but beyond this has
not held any public position. He studied law
with the Hoe. Alexander Thompson. He mar
ried at Chambersburg, but afterward removed
to Huntington where he commenced the prac-
tice of his profession, in which he met with
great success. His ability as a lawyer recon-
mended him to the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad Company, and he has been counsel
for that corporation in their most important
causes for a number of years. Mr.. Scott is an
eloquent as we'll as an able lawyer and a gen.
ial and unobtrusive gentleman. He is still a
young man, and is Radical Republican of
the strictest type. 80

REV. Mrs. Hannaford of Massachusetts,
yesterday We had the pleasure of hearing
her in the afternoon. She is decidedly an ad-
mirable speaker Possessing clear, full voice
and power to articulate distinctly, she easily
keeps the attention of her audience. Her ges-
lures were graceful and appropriate, and she
speaks with much earnestness. True, the pic
ture she painted in the afternoon had no dark
shades in it, but all was sunshine and happi-
ness. Such is her doctrine, and she breaches
it clearly and distinctly. She hesitates not to
declare the whole council of her Heavenly
Father as she understands it. There was
large congregation present on the occasion and
all appeared highly gratiied. We are rather
inclined to the opinion that such woman
could vote quite intelligently, but she did not
allude to women's rights, nor to any of the po-
litical questions that now agitate the public
mind. We believe st. Paul himself if he was
on earth would not object to such woman
standing before the public and preaching the
gospel. s HsaA-
The P1LGRIM.-Are the public aware what
a meritorious exhibition is presented for their
admiration at Deering Hall? We are afraid
not or else Mr.. Balm would find his audiences
largely increased. What has got into the peo-
pie of Portland? The different entertainments
with the exception of the Mercantile Library
Association and Grand Army of the Republic)
have been very poorly attended this winter,
and yet Portland bears the reputation of
first rate patron of public amusements. Is it
owing to stringency in the money market, or
apathy? Experience, it is said, has proved
that when the times were hardest the people
sought relief from business anxities in the
theatre and concert room. We therefore pre-
sumo it must be apathy. Wake up, then, and
visit the "Pigrim." Your eye will be delight
ed by the beautiful scenes depicted on the can
vas by the best artists, and you will come away
with the resolve to induce all your friends to
attend. f% ...

ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATIoN.-The Odd
Fellows of York county had grand celsbra-
ton on Thursday night last at Kennebunk.
The occasion was the installation of the officers
OF Mousam Lodge, No. g. The installing
officers Of the Grand Lodge of Maine, from
this city, were in attendance, viz, j. 81. Has
eltine, D. G. Master; Charles N. Rich, Grand
Marshal; Stephen K. Dyer Grand Treasurer;
o. B. Written, Grand Secretary, and Grand
Representative Ladd. Besides these there was
quite delegation of Odd Fellows went out
from this city. The installation and other SER
vices were in the elegant Town Hall, recently
elected. 1t was performed in solemn anu
impressive manner, the style of whicn cannot
be surpassed. Brother Haseltine ana MS as
sistants were in fine condition, and the work"
was done well. The hall was crowded to re-
pletion. and hundreds could not get in at all.
The people of Kennebunk seemed to have felt
as much interest that it should 90 off in good
style as the Odd Fellows themselves. Every
lodge in the county was in attendance, viz,
Mousam of Kennebunk, Olive Branch of So.
Berwick, Saco of Saco, and Laconia of Bidde-
ford. They were escorted to the hall by the
Band, and the entire exercises occupied over
two hours. Besides the installation, there was
prayer, an address, and singing interspersed,
by as charming band of singers as we desire
to hear. The whole performances were OBJ
served by the audience apparently with as
keen relish as though the hall was not
iammed full and the heat quite oppressive.
After the services the company adjourned to
the hall below, where an ample and rich COLA
ton was served up, the abundance of which
seemed endless.
Meantime the hall above had been cleared
for the grand ball which to close, and the COM
pany returned to enjoy it. 1t was gay time
and the floor and gallery were crowded with
the brethren and citizens, who participated
heartily. When we left, at in the morning,
appearance were that the Oriental sun would
look in upon this lively scene and find it still
in motion. The citizens took hold with will,
and did much to make the event success.
Grand Master Sargent was an inspiring genius,
and appeared to be wherever he was most
needed to make the occasion delightful.
The officers installed were Orrin Ross, N.
G.; VIM. E. Towne, V. G.; Robert A. Shack
ley, Secretary; Simon L. Written, Treasurer
1t was a great event for the Odd Fellows Of
York county, one that will give powerful i'm.
pulse to the cause, and one, also, that will not
be forgotten very soon by the people of that
town and vicinity.
