CgR CETK SCHOOL.

The city Free School will be continu-
cd, as private school, to the end Of the
regular term, without Encouragement of
classes and without any change in the
curriculum.
The Free term closes on Friday, the
Goth inst, and the Pay term begins on
Monday, the End prov.
1t will be so arranged that each de-
partment will be conducted in a manner
to do away with the bad effects of the
late interruption, and enable classes to
complete the oou1te marked out for the
full term~
We, the undersigned, feeling that
sudden close of the school, leaving clas-
SEES unprepared to enter higher grades at
the next regular term, will be detrimen-
tai to its interests, have determined to
carry it on without allowing it to vary,
a moment, from its usual routine, pro
vidod the patrons will second us in the
movement, by paying low rate OF tut
ton. We, also, propose to connect a
Normal School with the above, and now
invite all teachers who wish to review
their studies, and all those who expect
to become teachers, to attend the school.
Special attention will be given to
Normal pupils, both in the theory and
practice of teaching. The st1iet exami,
nations foresh allowed in n late card from
our County Superintendent, should adj
monish teachers to exert themselves to
attain high standard Of scholarship
before they again apply for Certificates
of Qualification. Pupils throughout the
County are, also, earnestly invited to
attend.

Robbery of Dead Letters.

ARREST OF POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT Ci.gRK.
Thomas M. Baker, second class clerk In The
dead letter Office under the Third Asslst ant
Postmaster General, was arrested at o'c! 1ck
yesterday afternoon by Special Agents Hender-
son and Tidoan, of the Post Office department,
charged with rining and appropriating to his
own use the contents OF dead letters which
passed through his hands. For some time past
complaints have been lodged with the special
agents OF mysterious losses OF money. Az es-
pionage was placed over the clerks, and the
special agents became convinced that the tTou
Die as inside the dead letter of1ice. Since Tues
day last Baker has been under suspicion. A
watch was placed upon him, and yesterday he
was discovered placing two letters In his
pocket. Upon subsequent search OF his per
son by the special agents, the stolen letters
were found upon his person. Baker thereupon
COL Dfessed. admitting that for some time past
he had carried on system OF robbery, tearing
or cutting such letters as passed through his
hands, which. from their external appearance
Indicated valuable Enclosures, slipping them
into his pocket, and after securing the contents
destroying them outside OF the Office. OF the
letters found on Bakers person one was post
marked Oakland, Cal, With the date so blurred
Henry, Moline, H. This letter was torn near
the middle so as to disclose the money it CON
talned. Another was postmarke1 Moorestown.
South Sd street, Philadelphia" and was cut
open. 1t contained 81 so In currency and
stamps. After making confession Baker was
CdhtH OCiOIc StdlSS commissioner Bun
dy, and committed to jail for hearing. which
was SET for Monday next. Mr.. Baker was an.
pointed In the department from Maryland. He
mas been In the postal service number OF
years. having been assigned to the dead letter
Once seven years ago.
BAKER BAILED.
This morning the friends of Baker presented
Mr.. j. p. Appleman as surety In S., 600 for his
appearance on Monday, and Commissioner
Bundy accepted him.
HOW BAKER WAS DISCOVERED.
1t has tranSp1red In this case that the dftec.
uves did not resort to the usual course-sending
decOy letter-but one of them, Mr.. Thos. Troy.
secreted himself In the room and saw Baker
take two letters and examine them and hastily
thrust them in his pocket. Mr. Troy at once
reported this, and searching Baker the letters
were found. Baker has heretofore stood very
high among his associates. and was regarded as
quite wel-to-do man whose necessities did
not require him to resort to robbing letters.
When asked If gambling or drink led MIN to do
thls business. be only remarked that his wife
was eXtrayagant,
