Justin Albee, who has been engaged In
South Londonderry for the last two
months, in the manufacture OF spring bed
bottoms, with Richard Buxton, brother
in-law, leit there some three weeks ago fol
Grafton, ostensibly to sell beds, but found
1t convenient to go further. He was next
heard from in LeOminster, Mass, where he
borrowed S25 of Willard Buxton, another
brother-in-law. From thence he goes 10
Worcester, Mass, and next turns up in
Boston, in company with Cortez Farnum,
an old and disreputable chum. From Bos-

In sonorous tones and with gesticula-
tory emphasis Col Dickey, late democratic
candidate for congress in this district, pre-
sented long array of distinguished men
dead who would be democrats now if they
were alive, and also the names of some,
formerly republicans, who are now for
Tllden. In his list he put special signia-
canoe upon the name OF Robert Lincoln,
who is quoted simply because he bears the
name of the illustrious republican martyr,
Abraham Lincoln. The story that young
Lincoln was a democrat and was stump
ing for Tilden, as Dlckey stated it, was
many times denied during our canvass,
but democratic voters would not believe
the denials, so long as democratic orator
saw fit TO assert The assumed fact. But
really there never was word OF truth in
the report, as no one knew better than
Dlckey, and 1t had not a shade of founda-
ton. Robert Lincoln is an earnest repub.
lican, is for Hayes, and has been stamping
Indiana for the republican ticket Wood
stock Standard.

From the official report of the recent riot
at Cainboy, South Carolina, 1t seems that
the white Democrats and black Republic
cans held union political meeting. The
white orator was permitted TO present his
views undlsturbed, but as soon as the
champion OF the blacks commenced, the
Democrats opened an indiscriminate
firing upon the unofiending Republicans,
killing one old man. This naturally exas-
perated the negroes, who seized their guns
and retaliated, killing six of their would
be murderers. Marshal Wallace with the
aid of United States troops, succeeded in
quellng the disturbance.

Fire Alas.ssss Yesterday.

The irem6h were kept pretty busy yes
terday by the frequent, alarms which were
sounded during the day, but all of them
with one exception proved false alarms.
I The greatest excitement was caused lAte
in tho afternoon by the news which came
to the companies that the Opera House
was on fire.. and The streets about the
Masonic Temple were black. with people
brought there by the alarm. The reported
FIRE seems to have been caused by the smoke
which was seen to Issue from the engine
room on King street, caused by the burn
ing Of a mattrass in that part of the build
ing, but there was absolutely no danger to
the Opera House, as the, room was not
properly connected with the building prop
er, being beneath the King street pavement
and was separated from the Opera House
by very thick walls. The mattrsss hhd
been purpossly set On are in order to burn
1t up. The room was flooded with water
by the tlremen, but no damage was done.
'A slight 6re occurred late in the evening
near Fifth and Washington, but NO danage
was accomplished before the flames were

kept in succession of delight by tho

Before Esquire Frazer last evening, John
Arthur Willis Green, colored, was arraigned,
charged by his father, William Green, with
breaking open desk, and stealing there
from two silver half dollars, two silver
quarters, and two silver half dimes. He
was arrested by Constable HickhRaD, and
at the hearing the father appeared 80 evt-
dence against his son. The elder was OF
opinion that Arthur was yet under age,
and therefore subject to his Jurisdiction.
Arthur insisted upon bis being Of age,
whereupon the old gentleman produced the
family Bible containing the dates of the
births Of his children; the youth q birthday
was dated in 1855, but upon examinati0a
Mr.. Frazer discovered that the date had
been tampered with. The young tlsn
stated that his father took all the money ID
made, and allowed him nothing for clothes.
He admitted to breaking open the desk, but
said that he did not take the money, as 1t
was not there to take. After considering
the circumstances, Esq. Frazer discharged
the defend ant in the case, rv .rc.r.
Arthur then brought suit against his
relative, accusing him Of threatening to
take his life at one time with 1Ha1S IL
cause he left with his employer 81 Of his
wages, one week, for the purpose Of getting
a pair OF shoes. The father, further told
him if he aid not in the future bring home

In the sum of 500 to keep the peace, in

When the Jail was visited by the Building
Committee of the Levy Court, on last Fri

room accom- mediation would require four
cells additional, one each for the women Of
the two races, and the same for men. Ad-
mftting the necessity for such provision, 1t
is impossible to execute tho suggestion for
the want of space, for the jail Is greatly
crowded. There are now one hundred and
twenty prisoners I'm thirty-six cells. In
most; Of them there are five prisoners, and
1t is necessary to put such as are confined
to be tried with convicts, and United States
prisoners insfhe~aame cells with county
prisoners, The Building CoWmittee. with
the jail Com missioners, arrived at no def
mite conclusions in their recent visit, but
have determined to look at other prisons to
assist their judgments. Or Thursday next
they will visit Pottsville, Pennsylvania, to
examine the jail located there, and 1t is
supposed that when they return the much
needed Improvements will be made. There
is talk also of applying to the Legislature
at its next session for legislation to convert
the prison into p psniteptiary or convict
