A FALSE PRETENDER-Jamcs j. Hogan,
young man with good trade and a father who
has given him every opportunity to make
man of himself was arrested yesterday for
obtaining goods under false pretences, and
locked up to await examination. He has for
several months past been practicing deception
among Il certain gullible class by representing
himself to be detective, secret member of the
state police force, or policeman of the city,
whichever character best suited his purpose at
the time. On his person was found a loaded
revolver, books containing the names of some
fifty or seveny-five liquor sellers, and varou,
letters written by himself to Major Jones and
Others. The letters were curious producHons
written evidently 10 show to ignorant parties
as proof that he was an officer as be pretended
but never sent. The complaint on which
he was arrested came from II. p Fellows,
boot and shoe dealer at 800 Nam
street, where Hogan obtained goods by repre-
sendng that he was to be appointed on the pc.
lice force. He has cost his father many dollars
AMI much trouble in the last two years, by his
wrong actions, aud finally became so indolent
that his friends Withdrew their assistance, see
ing that it only encouraged his rascalitv. He
boarded on Austin street, where he agreed to
pay more than the ordinary price, saying that
he desired room by himself, as he had large
amount of private writing to do in his capacity

Some Worcester manufacturers viii be inter-
asted in the following, received among our New

motive works, Jersey City, have stopped work,
on account of the strike. The strike is because
of the companY's failure to pay wages due.
The works for the last three months have been
run by the New York and Boston railway COM
pany, which alleges that the cause of the failure
is with the superintendent of the works, who
has been running them on private contracts, in
his own interest, and charging the labor 10 the

The diseases called nlantile are mostly of
children under the age Of five years, and those
who died of cholera nfantum so called, are
mostly under two year. The statistics show
singularly disproportionate mortality with the
children among us of foreign parenage, most
of whom are Irish; for instance, those of this
class under five years of age who deceased last
year number 400 out of the 553, or more than
three-quarters of the whole number that did
under that age. There would seem to be some
special causes for this.
Among the premature" deaths were three
pairs Of twins aud one pair of triplets, all of
foreign parentage.
OF those deceased last year, 573 were inferred
in ST. Johns cemetery, in Hope cemetery 215,
Rural cemetery 100, St. Anne's 8, Tanuck /,
Quipsigamond 1, and Almshouse 1 three

mainder were sent to various towns in this

lent nv love a book one day.
She brought it back, laid IL pyi
Twas little either had to say
She was 80 strange, and 30 shy'
But vet we loved Indifferent things
The snroutipg buds, the birds in tune;
And TINE stood still and wreathed ms wings
With rosy links, from June to June.
Far. her. what task to dare or do?
What peril tempt? what hardship bear?
But with her, ali! she never knew
NV heart, and what was hidden there.
And she with me, so cold and coy,
Seemed like maid bereft of sense;
But in q crowd, all life and joy,
And full Of blushful impudence.
She married! well, woman needs
A mate her life and love to share
And little cares sprang up like weeds,
And played around her elbow-chair.
And wears rolled on, but l, content,
Trimmed my one lamp, and kept it bright,
Till ages touch my hair besprent
With rays and CLEANS OF silver light.
And then it CHANGED, took the book
Which she had read in days gone by,
And as l read, such passion shook
My soul, needs must curse or cry.
For here and there her love was writ
In old, half-faded pencil-signs,
As if she yielded, bit by bit,
Her heart, in dots and underlines.
All? silyered fool! too late you look;
know it; let me here record
This maxim, "tend no maid q book,
Unless you read 1t gfterpdrd."
