The PosT OFFICE CASE The particulars
in the Post Office robbing case before the U. S.
District Court which resulted as published, in
verdict of guilty ON Mondry. were as follows:
EveIeth belongs in Fort Fairfield, and was ac
no,I 10 n ~,
rey, in his Post-office business. After Mr.. Ca
rey was was removed and another man APP
pointed, Eveleth still remained at the request
of the newly appointed postmaster to teach
him the business and assist him. Eveleth
virtually managed the Office, while the man
attended to his store. One day man came
into the Office with two letters containing mon
ey, one directed to w. f. Phillips & Co., of
this city, and the other to Owen Il Barbour,
and wanted them registered. Eveleth called
in the Postmaster and showed him how to
register the letters They were placed in an
envelope used for this kind of letter, and sent
TO Portland, as was supposed. When the
package arrived here the letter for Philips was
| missing, but it came next day in a money or
| der envelope with the money gone, and some
| paper slipped in to give it about the anne bulk
| as the money.
On investigation the robbery was traced 10
| Eveletb, and he was convicted.
We understand that the Court informed
| Eveleth that if he chose to make restitution
| of the money, some $S2, it would be consid-
| cred ID his sentence. He will be sentenced to-
| day.
| FORD g. GREENS MINsTRELs. This compa.
| ny gave very good entertainment at Port
| land Music Hall on Saturday evening, better
| than any Female Minstrel troupe that has pre-
coded them. Kelley and Mehillo were very
comicaI, and Miss Riddell show ed herself the
possessor OF very pleasing voice. The Irish
Stump Speech was the best thing of the kind
we have beard, and abounded in local hits that
| were received by the audience with roars Of
| laughter and rounds Of applause. The dan
| cling was good, and the burlesque that closed
| the entertainment, funny The company has
gone on trip East, but will return to this city
next week.
| BREAKING AND ENTERING.-Monday night
young man was observed by woman, in the
| act of entering the store of Mr.. Crockett in
Cape Elizabeth, through window. She gave
notice of the fact to her neighbours, who as
| sembled and secured the services of Constable
| Thayer of that town. The young fellow, hose
| name is Frederick Taylor, of Cape Elizabeth
| was found in the store. He was detained in
custody that night and yesterday was brough
over to the city and locked up for examna
| ton.
