TEMPERANCE IN FREEPoRr.-The temper
ance reform movement in Freeport is proving
great success. The meeting last Sunday af-
ternoon was of more than usual interest, the
hall being filled to its utmost capacity. The
meeting was addressed by Mr.. Hillman, of the
Auburn Reform Club, who stated in very
feeling manner his experience with intoxica-
ting liquor, showing its tyranny and despotsm,
and that the intemper ate man who thinks he
will not die drunkard only wakes to find
himself sinking to the lowest depths of vice,
shame and misery. At the close Of Mr.. Hill
mans rem arks Mr.. Thurston, the popular prin-
cipal of the high school, came upon the stage,
and asked the audience to give him $500 toward
furnishing club room. His request met with
so much favor that he soon had $3.50 pledged.
The hall will be Immediately fitted up, and will
be supplied with daily and weekly papers and
the leading periodicals of the day. The club
propose to make it "the most attractive and
popular loafing place in the town."

HORSE STEALING.
The Thief Captured i'm this CITY.

Last Monday morning VIM. Whitney, a
young man well known about town, went into
the livery stable of B. FL. Scribner on Park
street, in Lewiston, and engaged team for a
short time. The team was given to him with
out any suspicion as he had a good reputation.
After he had been gone several hours the pro-
prietor made inquiries and learned that he had
left town. This intelligence excited suspicion,
as the team was let TO be used in the city, and
word was at once sent to the police station.
The matter was given in charge of Deputy
Marshal Snow, who at once sent word in all
directions to keep lookout for the team.
About noon on Tuesday Whitney arrived at
the hotel in Yarmouth village with the stolen
team. He stopped over night and yesterday
morning tried to sell the team. No one want
ed it and he tried to get an auctioneer to sell it
at auction, but he was not successful in this,
and taking the team he was about to proceed
when tie landlord suggested that he had not
paid his bill He pleaded poverty and agreed
to leave the team for security. In the mean
time Mr.. Carswell, the depot master at Var
mouth, had received word to look out for W hit
ney and the stolen team. His information was
rather late, for Whitney had just left the vii
lage for this city. Without delay, however, he
telegraphed to officer Snow in Lewiston that
the team was there, and the man had departed.
The officer received the despatch just in time to
take the afternoon train for this city. At Var.
mouth he learned that the team was safe and
that the man Was in this vicinity. He arrived
here and at once went to the police station,
where, as usual, all the aid possible was grant
ed him.
Just before o'clock Deputy Snow in compa-
ny with officer Place visited the steamer For
est City which was about leaving for Boston.
After careful search they found the object of
their visit slowed away in one corner of the
saloon. He confessed the whole thing and was
taken at once to the police station, where be
spent the night. He Is the last person who
would be suspected of horse stealing Although
he says he is q years old, he does not look to
be Is. He says he walked in from Yarmouth
and not having any money he pawned his coat
at store on Middle street. He was greatly
surprised when arrested and said he supposed
he could reach Boston without trouble
