Papineau to ride. The pair went to Millbury,
and on their return stopped at house on the
'1sand," where the Spencer man went in, and
Papineau started for a stable with the team,
On the next day the owner of the horse called
at the stable for his team, and was given one
which he Immediately declared was not his.
The stable keeper insisted that it was the one
that Papineau left there on the previous nipbt.
and the latter also was very positive as to the
identity of the animal. The owner, however
refused to be convinced, and had Papineau ar.
rested on a charge of larceny. The case was
assigned for hearing in the central district
court yesterday morning, but Just before it was
reached the stable keeper made his appearance
on the scene, and bya few words of explanation
put stop to the proceedings 1t appears the

FIRE IN SYSTEMATICALLY buildings on
the town farm in Shrewsbury were totally de-
stroyed by fire about two O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. The fire was first discovered in the
roof of the main building, and spread so rapidly
that it was only by the greatest excrtions that
the neighboring dwelling houses could be saved.
The buildings consisted of large two-story
dwelling house and ell, woodshed, carriage
house, granary, and large barn nearly new.
The barn was filled with hay and grain, all of
which was destroyed. Most of the farming
tools and the larger part of the furniture was
saved. The loss will probably reach $4,000, on
which there is an insurance of SS225 in the Old
Mutual company of this city. The roof of the
Methodist church was set on fire by the sparks,
and the buildings of George II. Harlow and the
