! John johnson was arrested on Thursday, in
'inslow, for stealing a horse, carriage and
Eme articles of clothing of a gentleman in
puth Berwick, by whom he had been en-
Noyed, but whose name we have not been
,le to learn. He was arrested by City Mar
bal Hill Of Biddeford, brought to this city
I'D lodged in Jail, and taken to Portland by
early train yesterday. 1t seems, by his
vn confession that he was not very deeply in
I'VE with his employer, and about week ago
fsigned to rob him of his money, in his own
|,use, but abandoned that project for fear of
ieating a disturbance. He then pc, sessed
mself of an outfit consisting of two coats,
cree pairs of pants, and other clothing; went
1 the stable, harnessed the horse into the
[agon, and made for Portland. On arriving
bere he offered to sell the horse for 5000.
from this price he dropped to 500, and then
nally refused to sell at all. These things
I'd to suspicious, and Johnson getting wind
h the situation" slipped aboard the cars
I'd was off. Mr.. Hill took the next train for
hth, hearing that johnson had gone there,
at it appeared that he had stopped over the
liy previous at some way station, and getting
|soard the train as it came along the next
'ay rode most of the way from Portland to
brunswick on the same train with Hill, the
ehcer going through to Bath, while Johnson
'tpt on to Winslow, where he was arrested
u Thursday.

NEWS By MAIL.

The Grand Army. of the Republic closed II.
annual convention Thursday. General Burn
side was elected commander-in-chief to sue
coed General Logan. .-........
The New Haven correspondent of the New
York Herald says: SIT is understood now
that, in view of the fraud which was made so
clear by the affidavits Of the Republicans,
Mr.. English will let things take their natural
course and give Jewell his seat with as good
a grace as possible. G -
The Connecticut Senate has concurred with
the house and declared Marshall Jewell to be
elected governor. Lieutenant-G Governor Tyler
took the oath yesterday, and Governor jew
ell will be inaugurated on Tuesday.
The correspondent of the Boston Adver-
tiser says : The foreign relations committee
met Thursday, and considered the articles of
the treaty embracing the Alabama claims.
After general review of the subject re-
quest was sent to the Assistant Secretary of
State to bring to the committee the journal of
the high commission. This he did, and read
and explained at length each successive step
as the different propositions were advanced
by either side and adopted, modified or re-
Jected, and the reasons which controlled the
action taken. From this journal it appeared
that the American commissioners began by
submitting propositions for the settlement OF
the Alabama claims, which involved all the
positions taken by Minister Adams in his COM
munications to Earl RUSSELL including, OF
course, as one of the main points insisted
upon, the wreng done by Great Britain in
| recognizing the belligerency of the rebels
This the English commission positively
refused, and our commission were obliged to
recede. The journal also showed that the
English members began by refusing to recog-
nize their liability for the losses caused by
rebel privateers, and, in fact, by refusing
nearly all concessions toward such a settle
ment as has been finally agreed upon. After
the Americans had given up the demand con-
corning the wrong of recognizing the rebels
as belligerents, the English members finally
yelled so far as to express the regret contain
ed in the treaty, and to assume such respon-
sibilty for the rebel cruisers fitted out in their
ports, with the offset of the payment of the
claims of British subjects, as is provided in
the text as printed. The record read by Mr..
Bancroft Davis showed that the treaty in near
ly every proposition was acompromise as well
as upon the Alaba claims. The committee
did not expect Thursday night to report the
treaty to the Senate before Monday. The
members cannot yet determine whether it will
be submitted without amendment.

:
connected with the M. E. congregation at
Kendall's Mills, DESTROYS Of expressing their
pleasure at the reappointment of their pastor,
Rev. d. B. Randall, for another year, con-
ceived the idea Of pleasant surprise. But
they were in dilemma, the good Minister'S
wife, or more properly the good wife of the
Minister, was engaged in all the glory and
confusion of 'shouse- cleaning, carpets up
and being beaten, beds, chairs, tables, sofas
etc, all piled together in glorious confusion
But when a woman resolves to do thing she
does it, SO good sister was sent in advance
to reconoiter. In she came, and bustling
around insisted upon helping to put the down
the carpets and arrange things generally So
under her supervision tolerable order was re-
sumed. She insisted that a fire must be built
in the furnace, which on account of the mild
ness of the day had been neglected. sThe
minister and his family would certainly take
cold, 1.-The rooms were SO damp &C." However
she prevailed in her plans in that direction,
for the time. Tea-hour arrived and the
''angels" (women are angels you know began
to arrive at the parsonage heavily ladened
and took possession of the house. The tea
and coffee were soon steaming and the extern
sion table was ''extended" to its utmost ca
pacity and heavily laden with the good things
of life. Soon the ''lords of creation" began
to arrive and at the supper hour the house
was filled with a very happy company. After
the feasting, which was done sin the highest
style Of the art" the evening was spent in
cheerful and happy social converse, closing
with singing and prayer, and all returned
happy in having made the heart of their pas
tor and his family glad and leaving them with
the increased assurance that they were stu
ated among very kind and benevolent people.
So perfectly was the secret kept (notwith-
standing the painful desire of the men to let
out the PLAN that the minister and his family
were perfectly surprised. His good people
will please except the thanks of himself and
family for their kindness and attention and
for the delicate and appropriate manner in
which they performed their work. 1t is just
like them, they are always making their min
lister happy. r.

The Lewiston Journal sayso that the Jury
in the case of DAILY, indicted for. the murder
OF John kenney, went out at IL LIZ o'clock
Thursday forenoon, and were engaged in
earnest elaboration all day and night, with
out being able to agree on q verdict. The
Court took recess during this time. At 10
o'clock yesterday forenoon, the jury intima-
ted to the officer in charge Of them that they
desired an explanation from the Judge on q
single point. Accordingly the Court resumed
its session, and the Jury came in and made
the inquiry and Immediately withdrew again
to the Grand Jury Room. 1t is now thought
that the Jury would soon thereafter be able
to agree.
The Portland Advertiser says that as yes
terday mornings train on the Maine Central
from the Kennebec was between Oak Hill and
Freeport, it encountered an OK team, the dri-
yer Of which barely escaped with his life.
The man was deaf and when the train
whistled he was about on the middle of the
track, holding the rain Of the horse which was
hitched on ahead of the oxen. The whistle
frightened the horse which jumped suddenly
and breaking away from the team, twitched
the driver off the track just in time to save
the latters life. The oxen had barely got OF
the track, when the train which was running
atgreat speed struck the cart and stove It
into splinters. Luckily the yoke broke and
the oxen were not dragged upon the track
but made their way up the road at full speed
The man was terribly frightened, but sus-
tanned no physical injury.
