On Tuesday Of this week a warrant was issued
by squire Fisher for the arrest of +. d. Xii.
bourne, young lawyer Of this city, on charge
OF forgery. An officer start I'd in pursuit Of bin.
rs he had got wind of ths proceeding and de.
camped, but at last accounts we learn that the
pursuit had been abandoned, rs the notes which
he was supposed to have in his possession had
been recovered. The forgery was committed
upon an int'emnifyinS bond given to the sheriff
to secure possession of certain notes to the
amount Of $500, for which KilbolIrnc had brought
replevln suit. The bond bore The signatures of
Jas. McMichael and Henry Bruney, of the town
oil Rutland, which are declared by these gentle
men TO be forgcries. The notes belonged to Mrs
Gorhit, thcr-in-law of Kilboarne, aud were in
the possession Of Mr.. \. Armour, censcrvalor.
and Mrs. Gorbit had some years ago been declar
ed insane, and ki!bOurne wishing to ret pos--,s
sion of them, took this method of doing. IT, He
subsequently, deposited the notes in the bank and
ere" s25 upon them. and they are now safe, so
that no one Is a great loser by the operation.

CLOSING-OUT SALE AT THE "OLD

Great slaughter of Prices.


Mr. Hugh Gillcn finds his great closing on
sale, commenced some three weeks ago, in sucl
high favor among his customers and the cru
mor' of it so widespread that the more distant
towns are only fairly coming in, and is therefore
induced to continue it two weeks longer. Tt
give the movement every encouragement, he ha:
made another reduction on all summer goods
being warranted in doing so by the reductions OF
the jobbers from whom he is receiving new styles
and lots daily
His new arrivals during the week, besides sum
mer varieties to keep up stock embrace a choice
lot of Prints, Cheviot Shirtngs, Lancaster Gin.
CHAINS, &C.. all Of which will be offered at
slaughter prices.
1t must not be forgotten, in this connection,
that Mr. Gilen is running one OF the heaviest
and altogether most popular grocery establish
ments in the city. Besides every staple article
in that line, he has fresh supply daily Of all
kinds of vegetables, green fruits, dc. He is also
selling large quantities of sugar by the barrel,
coffee by the sack, &c, and calls the special at
tcntiOn of heads of families to the important saw
ing they can make by purchasing of him in large
quantities at the greatly reduced prices he can
thus afford to give them. He runs two teams
and delivers promptly in all parts of the city free

The race took place rs announced on last Sat
to an sccfdent to the boat on the start The
course decided upon was from the island down
to the wagon bridge, a distance of about half II
mile. The boats appeared upon the course at
about o'clock and took their positions at the
starting point soon after At the signal for the
start griffith made Il terrible stroke, which broke
one of bis row locks short Off and il was decided
To make another start, each boat pulling two
oars. We'll ard Harris pulling an oar apiece ana
Hobert pulling pair in the other boat, as the
arran cement of their boat would not admit of
the same arrangement as in the We'll boat The
starr was again made in this manner-the Grit,
nth boat evidently at great Northumberland
the We'll boat reached the end several lengths
ahead Of their competitors, making the distance
in "a minutes The race was given to them, al
though 1t was considered an unfair contest At
the end of this race Griffith pulled a short race
with We'll and Harris, giving about half the dis
lance of the former pull, in which he was beaten
by half a length. In this race Griffith sheercd
out oi his course into dead water and sand, while
the other boat l5cpt to the course and had the
full benefit of tie current
Another boat race will take place between the
same parties -four oars to each boat ON the af-
tcrnoon Of the ljth--thc day of the Old Settlers

The High School Vote.

AS to-day will be half gone before most of our
city readers see this paper, have only time to
urge such as have not already done so, to vote on
the questions submitted by the school trustees
for their determination at the polls to-day. From
the endless conflict Of opinion there appears to
prevail in regard to the proper loc4tion of the
schoo, We have no idea that q majority vote will
be cast for any one spot, that the location will
devoilc by law, as it might Better have done in
the frst place, upon the trustees II they fail to
get tue additional $1,000 asked for us seems
probable, we don't seq but that Me only sensible
thing to do is to accept Mr.. Lefands offer Of u
long and cheap lease Of the lots north of the SUI
prem, court house, and to erect sier building
there. so whether more money is voted o-day
or nos there seems yet to be a cheap and simple
way out.
