BREACH OF TRUsT.-Some week or two since
two young men came over to this country in
the steamer in charge of man who had been
here before, and to whom had been entrusted
funds for their support until they could find
employment. One of the young men had
ticket through to New York, which the CON-
panion obtained after their arrival here, on
pretence of finding employment for them. He
returned from New York and told them there
was nothing there for them to do, and sent
them out on the Ogdensburg railroad. The
young men went out but returned, not finding
employment, and discovered that their COM
panion was missing, with their funds The
police were informed of the circumstances and
last evening officer Slower arrested the COM
panion on board the Boston boat and took him
to the lookup. He pretends that he lost their
funds on the passage from England.

The two or three thousand people In

noon were doomed to disappointment. The
|prediction of the weather-clerk in Wash
ington that 1t would be "cloudy and
rainy in the Atlantic States was fulfilled
with relentless fidelity to its letter and
spirit. A dash Of sunshine now and then
gave birth to hopes in the hearts Of those
be clear; but these hopes had to be
given up, however reluctantly, when, be-
tween l and 2 O'Clock, sthe time for
the meeting of the societies proposing
to join in the procession, the rain came
down IN perfect torrent. a hurried con-
sultation was then held between the COM
missioners, and couriers were sent around
Ito the various lodge-rooms to announce
that the affair had been postponed indef-
nitely in consequence Of the inclemency OF
the weather. Tbs Sons Of Temperance, we
are informed, were gathered In larger force
than any other organization, and some of

Mr.. Rufner was most cordially received

says that the officers Of the schools In New

says that The higher branches are taught
