Larceny in Gray.


Two charcoal teamsters were arraIgned at
Gray yesterday before Trial Justice Charles
Cobb of New Gloucester, one on the charge OF
larceny of pocket-book containing $225,
which he picked up in the road, and recog-
nized in the sum of $500 for his appearance in
January; the other for receiving $1O5 OF the
money, knowing it to be the property OF
Ferdinand Winslow of Falmouth. He was
rearrested on the additional charge of stealing
800 from the finder, and was ordered to find
sureties in the sum OF $500 on both complaints,
failing to do which he was committed to jail
to await his trial November 10th. The prln-
cipal witness in the case was Albert Grant OF
Dry Mills, who received S5 as hush money,
and afterwards turned States evidence. j. ID.
Anderson appeared for the State, and w. I'll.
Vinton for the defendants. 1t appears that
Winslow, who had just drawn $3.50 from the
bank got out of his carriage in Falmouth, on
the Gray road, and paid a party $25, returning
his pocket-book as he supposed to his inside
pocket He simply placed it between his coat
and vest, and on ascending to his carriage it
dropped out unobserved by him, and was not
missed until he reached hom. He made a
visit subsequently to Dry Mills where these
men live, hut all denied any knowledge what
ever of the matter.

colennn Re0uien Mass.

Yesterday being the fifth anniversary OF the
death of Bishop Bacon, the occasion was suita-
bly observed by very impressive services at the
Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. A
solemn Mass of Requiem was celebrated at a.
M. by Rev. C. w. Doherty, assisted by Rev.
Fathers Linehan and Madam as Deacon and
sub-Deacon respectively. The grand altar was
deeply draped in mourning, as was also the
.catafalque which was arranged at the mead Oh
,tbe broad aisle in front of the altar. At the
CLOSE of the Mass the Rt. Rev. Bishop Healy,
who was attired in his pontiicals, pronounced
the absolution, the choir responding. Inc
large congregation present was an evidence
that they still revere the memory OF their de-
sueaSed Prelate.

Mr.. EDITOR: The school opened at
8 a. M, with all Ipresent and several
new additions. The subject of letter
writing was discussed this morning
instead Of the regular recitation in
Grammar, and proved very interesting
and profitable. We are to be graded
for to-day on letters to be written and
handed in to Mr.. McSpAdden by to-
morrow. 1t is woefpliy amazing how
few there are who know how to write
any kind of q letter correctly.
In regard to the Importance of the
Norn1Al School, We would like to
msRe suggestion to the school direc-
tors of the county. We understand
the directors of the l2ih district, the
banner district OF the county in many
respects, iutend to visit the Normal
School next week to see how the
teachers they are talking of employ
ing are progressing, and perhaps, if
not TO their satisfaction, they may
change their minds. This would be a
good plan for all the directors of the
county 1t might be better plan
than is now pursued that the directors
do not make their appointments until
after the Normal School. G..
