A YoUxo EIENp. --The Boston police haye
arrested Jesse Pomroy, aged IA, on a charge Of
mutilating Robert Gould, aged five years
Pomroy enticed the other boy away from home
on Tuesday afternoon, and by threats compelled
him to go with him (Pomroy) to an obscure
place where he made Robert strip himself OF
his clothing, when Pomroy tied him to a tele-
graph pole and cut him with knife about the
head Soon after the arrest was made Harry
AUSTIN, another YOUTH residing in South Bos-
ton, was brought to the station house, and inn
mediately identified Pomroy as the party who
stripped him on the 4th of August and inflet-
Ell three wounds in his back and one in his
groin. These disclosures at once led the officers
TO suppose that Pomroy had committed the as
saults in Chelsea, Somerville and Charleston,
which had so excited the people of those cities
on account of the brutality exhibited. Revela-
tons we're made which mark Pomroy, young
as he is, as most deliberate fend, and the an
nails OF crime will hardly furnish a parallel
case. Several weeks ago two boys in Chelsea
were found in an clubhouse on Powder Horn
Hill, in nude condition, and tied by the hands
to beam above. Their bodies were badly lac
Grated by the lash o. whip, which had been
used by third party several years their senior,
whom they described to the police. Pomroy
was identified by these boys, after his arrest,as
the one who committed the outrages on them
Other boys also identified Pomroy, who subse-
quently confessed to having been the author of
numerous outrages. He said he was very sorry
for what he had done, and could not tell what
prompted him to do it. He has always borne a
good reputation as quiet and peaceable boy,
and would hardly be suspected of committing
such offences as those with which he stands
charged. He appears to be perfectly
rational, and has not the least indication of in
sanity. In several instances he has cut small
holes under each of the eyes of several boys
faces, which leaves them disfgured for life,
while in other cases he stabbed them in the
thighs and other portions of the body. He
seemed to delight in torturing his victims, and
taken altogether his case is one of the most re-
markable on record.

appearance the Post says: -
Miss Annie Louise Cary we think has great

and her vocalzation last evening was sweetly

The Times says of her appearance at the sec
ond concert on Wednesday evening:
Miss Cary, had she returned to us unchanged
since last years concerts, would have been
deserving of a hearty welcome. Her rentree,
however, has revealed her possession of the
superb organ admired since Miss Missions

mental fact that her style has been much bet
