SMART Young THIEF-The police yesterday
arrested Alice Douglass, colored girl about
Is years of age, for larceny. Alice is hard
case for one of tender years. She came to
Portland from the South about year ago, and
went to work as domestic at the United
States Hotel. Here she stole property and was
turned over to the Overseers of the Poor, who
sent her to the Workhouse. When she was
liberated she entered service in coored fami-
ly on Munjoy. Her light-fngered habits fol-
lowed her and she was sent to the Workhouse
again. When her time was out the Overseers
started her for the South. Arriving in Boston
she met with colored man whom she had
known here, and to whom she told pitiful
story of injustice. He gave her money to
pay her fare back to Portland and she came
back to fall into the hands of the authorities
again. Then q colored man named Armstrong
took pity on her, and offered to give her home
in the hope OF reforming her. He took her home
and afterwards found place for her in the
family of John Neal ESQ.,, where she stole over
$50 worth of clothing and jewelry, and thus
led to her arrest She had also stolen from her
benefactor, Armstrong taking the goods from
his house to Mr.. Meals. and DICE versa. Most
of the etolen property has been iecovered.

The GIRLS AND BOYS AT WEsTBRooK The
Argus published few days ago little story,
telling how the girls at Westbrook put the
boys of that institution to ar open shame
The young gentlemen had always procured
and paid for the services of the indispensable
Chandler to provide music for the weekly $50
ciable, - but being last week oyertaken by a most
reputable and student-like impecuniosity they
had concluded to put up with music at once
less expensive and less appropriate. But the
girls had secretly hired Chandler, and intro
duced him at the most critical moment in
most dramatic way, insomuch that the boys
were overwhelmed with chagriu and confu-
sion. Thus the argus. But now the young
ladies themselves rise to explain, and we are
sorry to say that they do it rather too sharply.
We can't think of publishing their personal
illusions to the reporter OF the Argus, which
are of a more disparaging nature than he prob
ably deserves. Eliminating these sharp little
feminine "digs," IA talent for giving which
our fair correspondents will find it advantage
GUS not to cultivate) this is what they say:
We would inform the gentleman who =
holds the position as reporter
for the Argus, and who so favored as auiM his
presence at our last sociable, that in his report
he made decided mistake, or if not mis-
take, presented it in very different light from
that in which it was received by the young
gentleman, and in which it was intended by
the young ladies. We did not employ Mr..
Chandler thinking that the "boys' slender
purses were nearly Drained" as he asserted,
bat as the young gentlemen have always fur
nished music for the sociables, we, through the
purest of motives, resolved to engage and pay
Chandler ourselves that evening, and by SO do
ing agreeably surprise the young gentlemen.
We would have him distinctly
understand that the sociables are not consid-
cred as public resort, but as an institution
for those attending the Seminary, and it is the
wish of the students, as well as Of the authori-
ties of the school, that the exercises and incl
dents OF our weekly gatherings shall not be
published in the daily papers, subjected to and
criticised by the public.
The gentleman will please stake due notice
and govern himself accordingly"

dispatch states that Ferdinand De Gimmez,

Leila Addison were married on Saturday af-
ternoon, the ceremony being performed by the
