THE RAILROAD THIEvEs-SkM Of Port.
land Detectioe-The detection of the thieves,
who have for more than year been stealing
from the freight trains of the Maine Central, is
due to John S. Head, esq of this city, who
was entrusted with the working up of the case,
by Superintendent Tucker. Mr.. Head was
not long in fastening his suspicious upon' seq
eral employees of the company. Certain kinds
of freight, upon which he placed private
mark, he found was taken from the freight
train run by conductor VIM. Keen, who had
been in the employ of the company long
time. To this train Mr.. Head gave his special
investigation, passing over the road to and fro,
until he fully satisfied himself who the guilty
parties were and how they were disposing of
the stolen property.
Before Mr. Head had worked up the case to
his satisfaction Keen left the road, but one of
his brakemen- Geo. Perry by name-remained
The evidence which Head had procured
against Perry was of such serious and dam
aging character that he proceeded to Skowhegan
where Perry resides, and went to his house.
Instituting search he found in Perry's cellar
one case of lard in small pails one roll OF leath-
err, and what was left of two cans of varnish.
These, and other articles VIII ich Head was sat-
isfed were q portion of the stolen property
were found secreted under pile of some TWEEN
ty-ive flour barrels. Head also noticed that
Perry's house was furnished much better than
consistent with one in his circumstances.
Perry was at home at the time, and while his
house was being searched he at first assumed
an air of innocence, although showing some
agitation. When Head, however, charged
him with guilt, and even went SO far as to in
form him what property he had stolen. the day
he took it, to whom he had sold it, Perry final
ly owned up to the stealing of considerable
amount of freight and implicated others whom
he said were as guilty as himself On the
strength of his confession Head went to Per-
rvs father -in-law's house, man named Pool
er, and there found secreted another lot Of the
stolen property. Perry has already been sent
| to jail The result of Mr.. Heald's sxillful in
vestigations will be the means Of breaking up
nest of railroad thieves, who. had they re-
| NAMED undiscovered, would have robbed the
road of thousands of dollars worth of freight.
The other parties implicated he is after, with
the prospect of bringing them to justice with
| out delay

Fifth Entertainment.

Only small audience braved the raging ele-
ments last night to hear Rev. II. M. Gala
hers lecture on After Clouds, Clear Weather >
There were too many clouds surcharged with
wetness to 60 any distance to hear any gentle
man talk about the clear weather that is quite
| sure to follow. In the course of his remarks
Mr.. Gallaher said that whatever might be said
about fortune and chance, we found out as we
grew older that the talk of chance contained
little truth or reality. What man sowed that
he also reaped. In almost every good fortune
there was some ill luck, and vice versa. The
rich man had a good dinner, but no appetite;
ner. All should be cheerful and good humored
to the world, and the world would be good hu-
mored in turn. 1t was like an echo. You and
1 were as much the results of ourselves as a
house was that of its architect. Character
was destiny What we had made ourselves we
were.
The law of compensation was universal. The
birds of the tropics were the most gaudily
pumaged of any in the word-that was their
advantage; but they could not sing-that was
beautiful but not over sensible. A woman had
the face of Greek statue, but every time she
opened her mouth she put her foot in il! We
heard of the improvements in the arts of war,
such as the Mime rifle and Gatling gun. and
they were Improvements, but never again should
we have CGur de Lion. We admired and rev.
erenced great men, but on every such man God
sent trials which would crush weaker ones
There never would be Washington without
revolution, or Lincoln without slave power
to combat or overthrow, or a Christ without
Gethsemare and Calvary. If man be
genius there went with it greater sensibility
to pain. The suffering which would hardly
move coarser mind tears genius into agony.
Chatterton killed himself for fear meE might
think him poor. Riches do not always bring
happiness. They were always accompanied
with cares.
He was always afraid to be happy for he
knew that gloomy day would pay for it some
time. 1t was the sweat of the brow, the work
with pain ia it, which made men great We
needed not 10 complain of hard work, for it
brought happiness with it He always valued
highest that which he had to work the hardest
for. Men of sense did not value themselves or
pride themselves upon the good their parents
gave them, but what they had earned them
selves 1t was not in prosperity, but in adver
sity, that we develop the nOblest faculties of
our souls. We were not fit to taste the sweet
till we had touched the sour A little matr-
monial difficulty was not always bad thing,
for it gave chance for making up! 1t was by
the attrition of pain and trouble that we were
polished and whitened On the other hand, it
often happened that our very best faculties got
us into trouble. If you had one thing you must
give up another. Goldsmith wrote like an an
gel, but he talked like fool. He concluded
with an eloquent picture of the great successes
and equally great failures of the human soul in
all the past and present, and speculation as to
the end of it all.

,of he loss Of plaintiffs horse by reason of an al
ed want OF sufficient railing on Fore street. at the
DOT OF St. Lawrence street. According to plaintiffs
testimony he left his horse December a. 1873 un-
hitched, opposite the store Of Mr. Lunt on St. Law
renee street, and went into the store. There were
six hundred pounds Of beef in the pung which the
horse was harnessed TO. The horse was kind and
gentle. used to stand without hitchng but on this
occasion ran away going down the hill at the foot of
the street at rate of about ten miles an hour as the
plaintiff testified and twenty five miles as one of the
witnesses for the defense testified; at the foot of St.
Lawrence street, and Fore street, the horse tried
to turn, but the street was glare of ice and the
pung struck the rsdliDg carried away two posts and
about thirty feet of railing and horse and pung went
over the bank. The horse was killed and the pung
and harness damaged. Plaintiff claimed that his
horse was worth S225 or $3.50, although he stated
that he paid but $120 for him.
Tho defense was, that the city was not liable be-
cauee the railing which had been built the August
prior to the accident made OF three by five joist
and two inch plank six inches wide; that there was
rotten post as plaintiff claimed, but which the city
claimed they had no notice or knowledge Of The de-

ing bis horse unhitched, ese something frightened
the horse and in either the city not liable;
and in no event the city obliged to build rail-
ing strong to stand six hundred pounds of beef
slung at it at the rate of ten or twenty miles an
hour nor was the city obliged to provide safe roads
for runaway horses.
The Court instructed the jury that towns were
obliged by law to have safe and convenient ways,
but the words safe and convenient were to be rea-
sonably interpreted. They did not mean absolutely
safe and convenient. but only reasonably SO. Of
that the jury the sole judges That the defend
ants must have had reasonable notice. and the plain
tiff must himself have been free from carelessness.
That if any other than the defect contributed
to the injury, the defendant would not be LIABLE The
jury found verdict for the defendant.

CRANBERRY CULTURE.-Some of the enter
prising farmers who are making money out of
specalties, find in the cultivation of cram
berries most remunerative business. Skill
and patience are required but under favorable
conditions they are certain to bring assure and
ample reward. One of the few who have be-
come conspicuous in the business is Albion X.
Gie, Esq, Of Alfred. He began about four
years since. He OF ned bog Of twelve acres
which by the construction of drains and dykes
he is enabled to flow at will and in such way
as he likes. OF the twelve acres he has ten
set out to cranberry plants. The three first
years he was to considerable expense in per-
fecting his lands and the ingenious methods for
cultivation and harvesting. Mr.. Gile does not
spend time in picking by hand, tedious bust
ness, but he flows the bog and while it is flowed
the berries are detached from the vines by
rakes and foated to house at the foot of the
bog where they are taken in screens and there
gathered. Not only are the berries gathered,
but by an ingenious continuance Of Mr.. Gile
the fruit is sorted by the screens and water the
best going into one apartment and the light,
pinched or unsound into others. Our inform
ant says that Mr.. Gile must have expended
nearly $4,000 in bringing bis lands to their pres
ent condition Of bearing and other facilities
for growing and securing the crop.
This year he harvested 500 bushels at an ex-
pendture of forty-six days labor. He sold
quite early in the season 100 barrels at $40 per
barrel. The balance Of the crop he will sell at
from 81 to S. 30 per bushel. 1t will be seen
that Mr., Gile has small fortune in the bust
ness, the result Of study, patience and brains.
Those who have lands adapted to cranberry
culture will do well to 60 to Alfred and consult
Mr.. Gle.
