THEFT.-On Friday last young man, who
gave his name as Chandler, applied for board
at the house of Mrs. Charles Davidson, on
Brown street. He was accommodated tempo
rarily with room belonging to Mr.. George
Moody, one of the boarders, as no other one
was vacant and Mr.. Moody had no objection
to taking him for little while as chum as the
young man gave good references. Chandler
said he had sent wagon to bring his trunks
and in the meantime would go to his room.
After little while Mrs. d. remembered there
was no fire in Chandler's room and went up to
invite him down to the sitting room. No
Chandler was found in the room, but Mr..
Moods trunk had been broken open and some
five or six dollars in silver taken, besides val

MURDER AND LYNCH LAW.

CHICAGO, Feb. GA saloon keeper named
Yeck, at BardstQwn, ILL.,, was shot dead on
Thursday and his! partner, Becker, dangerously
wounded by nah named Wilcox. The muir
derer was arrested on Friday. Yeck was bur-
led after dusk. A large crowd, fully five hun,
bred strong, gathered around the Jail, and
without employing force took the keys from
the sheriff, put him under guard, entered the
jail and seized a prisoner whom they supposed
to be the murderer and got a rope around his
neck. They then discovered that they had the
wrong man. Meantime the murderer, in anoth-
er cell, chained to the floor, was made aware of
the designs ofthe mob, and possessed himself of
an iron bar.
AS the leaders of the mob prepared to open
the cell door, the prisoner warned them that
he would sell his life dearly. This demeanor
produced change Of action but did not defeat
the purpose OF the leaders. A pistol shot
through the head of the murderer killed him.
His body was then taken out of doors and
hanged by the neck to tree.

The steamer Peruvian, in coming up to her
dock at the Grand Trunk wharf Sunday night,
encountered a severe wind squall and ran into
the wharf, making bad hole in it; she also
injured two of her boats and smashed boat
davit.
Mr. James S. Gonld has been re-apponted
Deputy U. s. Marshal for the district of Maine
in which capacity Mr.. Gould has served under
ex-Marshal Clark very acceptably for several
years.
1t was Capt w. H. Smith who commanded
the Peruvian the last trip. Capt. Ballantine,
her former commander, and the Commodore
of the Allan line, will command the new and
elegant steamer scandinavian, nearly ready
for sea.
We were shown yesterday station stake
which was numbered in red chalk 1852, and
which was put down at West Baldwin at the
time Mr.. Hall made survey from Saco to
Fryeburg, in 1851. 1t was found by Mr. L. ii.
Stone, civil engineer, in an upright position
and we'll preserved, on Jaa. 10Th, 1870. 1t was
made of white pine
We learn from Tobias Lord, Jr., that no
damage was apprehended on the Saco at steep
Fails, as the great quantities of snow there
had soaked up the rain. The river rose at that
point about foot
