LARCENY FROM THE PERsoN.-Last We'd
nesday James Ladd of Biddeford came to this
city and fell in with couple of young fellows
who took him round to various places to show
him the sights. Late in the evening he was
picked up by the police SO drunk that he could
not tell anything about himself. Thursday
morning, when sober, he stated that he had
$40 when he met the young fellows, and that
they had got him drunk and robbed him Of
pearly all of it, as he had but little more than
two dollars when found He did not know
the names of the fellows who were with him,
but could recognize them ii he saw them. Dep
uty Marshal Sterling then commenced to work
up the case, and yesterday arrested Grin Gid
den. By his orders officer Gribben arrested
Dudley Young, and both Glidden and Young
were taken to the lookup. They confessed
having taken Ladds money, but said he drop
ped it on the sidewalk on Federal street and
they picked it up and divided it by the light of
the lamp near Cogia Hassan's store, on Temple
street, one of them taking $35 and the other
$50. They acknowledged they meant to have
Ladd's money, after they saw him display it in
an oyster shop. A small portion of the money
was recovered,

: DRUMMER nov on 4as spy or tai

! DRUMMER Roy Ok THE Spy or TIE
SEGNA..oAH is military drama presented at
the City Hail last evening nnder the auspices
of the G. A. R.; some sixty members of this
Union of the soldiers of the late war partci-
pating in the play. 1t is unnecessary for us 10
refer to the appropriate and elegant scenery
that the Messrs. Heath and Hurd, managers,
have brought with them, or the intense inter-
est manifested by the audience. Suffice it to
say the only criticism that can be affixed is
that the whole play is too affecting. No his
torian or artist has been able to delineate or
describe the scenes of the war with that truth
fulness that is presented by this play-especi-
ally as the actors are those who have been the
defenders of their country in its hour of dan
ger.
Aside from the real theatrical talent that is
exhibited, the scenes of the war SO truthfully
portrayed, the real reason why this enter
tainment presented here for few nights only
should be patronzed is the charitable purpos-
es for which the proceeds are to be appropriate
ed-the assistance of those who are in want
and suffering because they have given their all
for their country.
One of the most prominent features of the
play is that the actors are those who have been
the soldiers in the field-the men who have
participated in the very scenes presented;
scenes which are familiar to them all; for the
gorgeous panorama still floats before their
eyes, the bugle's call and the sound of the roll
ing drum still linger on their ears; the thun-
der of the rushing squadron and, shrill cry of
the bayonet charge, resounds in all the air
about and will follow then to their graves.
But the war is ended. Their creates: object
now is charity for those of their number who
are in suffering and want. Let all who would
assist them fill City Hall with an audience
such as never gathered there before.

1t will be Of interest to the public to
know that A. T. Stewart, Of New York,
has yielded to the general falling ten
dency in prices by reducing all Of his
rents from ten to twenty-five per cent.
It is worthy Of note also that he has
done this voluntarily, without waiting
for his tenants TO move out in conse-
quence Of the continued pressure ofhigh
rents. He thinks il better 10 keep perma-

TBE soLDnRs' CLOTHING COMBINATION
MoSEY.-The Secretary OF War has trans
mitted 10 the Hoube OF Representatives n
report from the PaymRster General, stating
1t is the province OF the ouartermRster Sen
eral to purchase supplies Of clothing for the
enlisted men of the army. To each Is APP
portloned given allowance fer each year
Of his term Of enlistment; when he draws
only part the remainder Is borne to his
credit and paid to him at cost value In
money, as the final settlement on discharge.
During the past few years circumstances
have combined to increase three or four
fold the amount Of this Communication. The
demand for the first large portion Of men
being on the frontier engaged In rough work,
the most costly portion Of the clothing al
loWance remains undnWn aud becomes
payable In money. eeeonay-the very large
accumulation of clothing at the close Of the
war has, by authority, been sold at public
sale 10 prevent damage aud ruiz. Pur.
chasers bought at mere nominal prices
perhaps one fourth-and distributed the
purchased clothing throughout the land Into
the hands OF traders and others, so as 10
find ready customers among enlisted men.
Tho amount OF clothing sold within three
years past exceeds tho amount OF 81, $780,
900. During the past year 1855, 900 were
paid TO 70,246 discharged soldtersi during
this year the number OF discharged will DO
ls,44l, involving, at the same average, Sl,-
100000. The Secretary Of War recommends
transfer from any surplus OF past appTo-
prlatlOn funds TO pay these extraordinary
communication demands. al.
