The Portland Press gives the Professor
who is well known in this city the following
puff: Prof. T. A. Giraud, who claims TO

Deputy Sterling and officer Fields. both be-
cause he was drunk and because he had in
his possession ine metallic trunk which.
though it had his name painted thereon.
was deemed, with the contents, not such a
trunk as such a professor would likely TO

| quaintance. The Professor was too OBJ
livious last night to converse with that de-
gree OF fluency that might be expected from
| a gentleman of culture.
