The Little Game of the Greenback Party
Mr.. EDrToR.-The Greenback party in this
state are busy at work to add to their numbers
and hope to have strength enough to sell out
to advantage to the copperhead element of the
Democratic party" Before Republicans unite
with this party it will be well for them to un-
derstand the feast they are invited to in this
state and to the soft money Republicans this
communication is addressed.
There are Of course quite number OF sore
heads in this and every other community, men
who have been kept in Office by the Republican
party until the people have become completely
disguised with them and drove them out OF Of
fee. Then there is that large class OF dlsap-
pointed "ofice seekers who have tried for
years for place and who, the people not see
ing their merits as they sac themselves, have
grown sore and wish to join their fortunes WIN
the new movement in the hope that sometnlng
will turn up to their advantage. 70 the ex.oihcial
and disappointed sorehead we have nothing Dut
this to say. viz: Stay not upon the oIuef 1 VI
your going but go at once; you have worn OUT
the patience of your few friends in your walls
over your supposed grievances and bored the
indifferent to death with your button-holing
until your presence has got to be nightmare.
Yes, respected bore, go! never show yonr nun
cry face around hepupican caucus VI JUL
vention again. 80
To the large class of true-hearted Republi-
cans who are ''soft money" men and upon
whom the times rest so hard that they are
thinking of joining this new party we say stop
and consider; look at the feast prepared fol-
YOU in this First District for an example. The

| inwardness Of this movement in the past few

G. A. RAT the gathering of the comrades
If Post Bosworth to entertain Commander
aamlin he called their attention to numerous
matters connected with the welfare of the
organization. Among others he asked that
they consider the advisability of having a
grand reunion this fall of all the Posts in the
DEPARTING MT of Maine. He thought it should
be in the vicinity of Rockland so as to be
ached by both rail and steamers.
He also referred to the fact that the National
Encampment of the Grand Army Of the
Republic will be held in Springfield on the
fifth of june AS this is the nearest that the
Encampment will come to Maine for several
years it is quite desirable that there should be
full delegations from the several Posts, It is
thought that a special train can be arranged
for that occasion.

value Of which this suit is brought and gave there
for horse in exchange aud check for the balance,
and that the sale and delivery was completed be-
tween those hours; that he had no knowledge at the

An EmbIczz.er Caught.

State Detective Hersom of Boston arrived
in this city yesterday noon in search of an
embezzler named Thomas Trainer. alias
James johnson. With the assistance of Officer
Rice the man was found at the Friendly Inn
on Fore street, and taken to the police station.
The detective had warrant for the mans
arrest on ten different counts for embezzle-
ment. Trainer is a young man about % years
Of age, who for several years has been head
clerk in the large grocery store kept by Coun-
Gilman Wilkinson on Hazard street Cam
bridge. The proprietor has given the affairs OF
his store bat little attention for some time
being an active politician. Mr.. Trainer has had
almost complete control of the affairs.
Several times the accounts did not come out
quite right but another clerk was suspected of
the mischief and watched. AT last It became
evident that Trainer was the dishonest man in
the concern, and an expert was engaged to
look over the books. When Trainer discovered
that he was suspected about ten days ago he
disappeared and could not be found. Suspect
ing that he was in Portland spy was sent
here and be was discovered. Word was sent
to Detective Hersom who had the case in
charge and he came down and arrested the
man., When at home he dressed well and
moved in good circle and was thought to be
very promising young man. When found at
the Inn he was almost ragged having pawned
the most of his clothes. He did not have
cent of money and it is thought that he had
spent it as he states in gambling. He never
took any large sums at a time, the largest
amount known being $40. Just how much he
bas taken is not known.
He was greatly surprised when confronted
by the officers and asked how they found him
and how they knew his name. He manifested
great disgust when Rice put the iron on his
wrists and asked to be alone for moment
Detective Hersom took the prisoner to Boston
on the midnight train. 1t is thought that he
can be connected with recent breaking and
entering affair in the vicinity of Boston.

RICHMOND, April 10, 1873.
The ice-laden schooner John D. Williams,
Capt Pierce, in casting off from the Lincoln
Co.'S wharf at low water Tuesday, swung on to
a sunken rock and stove hole in her bottom,
requiring constant work at the pumps to keep
her afoat. She was towed to Portland yester-
day for repairs.
A movement is on foot to purchase suita-
BILE lot on which to erect building for the
primary and intermediate schools. Better
school accommodations have been needed here
for a long time, the present quarters being linn
tied and lacking ia nearly all the modern school
conveniences and requirements. We hope to
see speedy change for the better, and have no
doubt that such would be welcomed by parents
whose children have to go to the present school
rooms, which are a discredit to the town.
