Last Thursday afternoon, while two young men
from Farmingdae with their ladies, were sailing
on the pond, their boat, by reason of bad manage
ment. capsized Fortunately, they all succeeded
in getting firm hold on the boat, and the young
men using their paddles freely, finally gained the
shore with their precious cargo. 1t was fortunate
that none were drowned, as it is very seldom that
such accidents occur without loss Of life. This
should teach the inexperienced never to undertake
to sail boat when there is heavy wind blowing.

Policeman Scott, the detective"

Old hummer Scott, who few years ago spent
some time in Augusta, has lately been appearing
at large temperance meeting, in which he told
what he pretended to know about drunkenness
among the women moving in the higher circles of
Boston. lie is so well acquainted with women of
taste and refinement, has been in the habit so
long of mingling with such, that no wonder we
see him reported as saying that the prevalence of
drunkenness among women in the upper strata of
society in Boston twas something beyond the
widest hopes of the most ardent total abstinence
orator" We remember that when old blow-hard
Scott came to Augusta it was as lecturer on the
beauties and moral lessons of panorama repre-
senting something with q title, The New Pill
grim's Progress" He became so much attracted
by the place. that, as the show dsorganized. he
came 10 the unfortunate decision to settle hmse self
down here He had been on the Boston police,
he said, for sixteen years; and never a speech did
Scott make without often reminding his hearers
of that interesting portion of his life His mis-
fortune here, we think, was in undertaking. a job
for which he had ample corporocity, but lacked
most deplorably in brain power. Licensed as an
auctioneer, he was going to put Jones out of the
business in fortnight; relying on his experience
as policeman, Frank harrington would have to
yield to him the badge of the City Marshal in less
than year. Thus the old hummer obtruded
himself in season and out of season. upon the
community, until he disguised decent people, and
rogues didn't want to associate with him, as he
had no money. He preached temperance, he
talked and cried and prayed in prayer meetings,
and gave "illustrated' lectures before Sunday
Schools; but somehow people didn't make any
paying investments in him; and so he left town.
The last we heard of him, before his turning up at
the temperance meeting in New York, be was
travelling with collection Of burglars tools. We
have only mentioned his case for the purpose of
showing how persons engaged in the best of
causes, are liable to be imposed upon

Three Burglaries.

There have been three recent attempts at bur-
glary on Cushnoc heights in this city. No men
ton has been made of the fact until this time, as
it was hoped to capture the offenders. The house
Of George Douty was entered about midnight of
Saturday, the 18th. The burglar was alarmed by
the family awaking. and left without finding any
thing be could take. On Monday night last, an
attempt was made TO enter the house of James
Shaw Mr.. Shaw being absent, while his family
were alone in the house. The person forced the
screen, and was about to enter, when the daugh-
ter, whose bed room is below, gave the alarm to
her mother, which frightened the would-be bur
glar, and he was last seen getting over the fence
in his fight. On Friday night last, about mid
night, the wife Of Hartwell S. Mosher was aroused
by some one trying the knob Of the front door !;
then pass round and try that Of the back door !:
then shove up the pantry window, bending up the
nail with which it was nailed down. Mrs. Mosher
and her daughter were alone in their chamber, and
did not dare go down stairs. Their cries aroused
the entire neighborhood, and the burglar fed. 1t
is supposed these acts are performed by persons
who are familiar with the premises.
