John Boylan of Brooklyn, New York, who
has been at work for w. II. Harvey, Esq. for
a few days past, started to walk down river
yesterday afternoon for the purpose of obtain
ing employment at some of the ice houses in
Pittston or Dresden. On his way he called
at the house of Mr.. John b. Norton, who re-
sides near the Insane Hospital, for drink of
water when he was attacked by large coach
dog, belonging to Mr.. Norton, and very Sc
verely bitten in both legs, it requiring very
severe measures to drive the dog away from
the man. Mr.. Norton took Boylan into his
house and called DR.. Martin who dressed his
wounds, which are not considered dangerous,
though they will doubtless be rather trouble
some for some time. The dog was at once
killed. He has never before shown anything
like a savage disposition. Mr.. Boylan is
native of Dublin, Ireland; his mothers maid
en- name was Winslow, and he has gone by
that name. To-day Mr.. Norton will aid him
in reaching Boston, where he has friends.

capped from the Insane Hospital in this city,
a little more than year since, and to whose
case we have several times referred, was re-
captured few days since in Worcester,
Mass, and on Saturday brought to this city,
by the City Marshal of Worcester. He was
lodged in his old quarters. He is about
twenty five pounds lighter than when he went
away, but is in good health. He continues
demented and exhibits about the same symp-
toms of insanity as when he left. He seemed
glad to get back from his wanderings hither
and thither, and begged the officers to let
him remain until his own folks came for him.

Where are the Boys, and What has be
come OF the Girls.

where are the Boys, and What has be-
come OF the Girls:
1t is a marked fact that the attendants at
the annual examinations and exhibitions of
the high schools in this State, have been
forced to ask the question, ''Where are the
Boys?" The girls who entered the lower
classes four years previously have persevered,
gone up the ladder Of knowledge, round by
round, and finally reached the glad examina-
ton day, when they so proudly receive their
parchment and blue ribbon but the boys have
faltered on the way, fallen out of the ranks,
and the fourth year finds one or two holding
on heroicaliy, where dozen began the race.
And SO the question is repeated, "Where are
the Boys?' The Calais Advertiser partially
answers this question by saying that most of
the boys are DESTROYS of getting old as rapidly
as possible, SO they may enter stores or learn
trades, and few of them have a chance to
graduate even if they have desire to do so.
With the girls, however, it is different
Long after the boys are put to work the girls
are kept at school. 1t is no wonder, there
fore, that the graduating classes are entirely
composed of girls. The wonder is, what be-
comes Of the smart girls who graduate each
year? Where are they? What are they do
ing with the brains they used so well in
school? Why does their ability cease to be
manifested as soon as they vanish from the
high school? They have time, opportunity,
and brains. Why do they sink into insignifi-
cance? We don't know how it is with the
girls down east, but the female graduates of
the Augusta high school have not passed into
obscurity, but are filling places of honor and
usefulness. Three of these graduates are
teachers in the schools in the village district,
three are brilliant scholars at female colleges
and seminaries, and others preside at the
heads of households where their lights are not
hidden under bushel. The history of these
graduates would reflect credit on the school
that has sent them out.
Mr.. EDITOR Having occasion to stop at
Augusta for short time this summer, by ad-
vice of friend l made the Hartford House,

commodations, pleasantly situated, near the
