He Fell Among Thieves.

Patrick Fitzgerald belongs in Augusta
Several days since, while on his way to Bos-
ton he fell in and became quite intimate with
William Dorman, fellow traveller Dorm an
said he was on his way to Providence, R. l.,
in search OF employment, and, being short of
funds, Fitzgerald promised, upon his arrival
in Boston, to advance money for his car fare
to the place of Dorman's destination. After
alighting from the cars both men wandered
around until they arrived in close proximity
to the Boston and Albany railway tracks,
when Dorman proposed taking drink. Fitz-
gerald consented, but after taking one glass of
beer he remembered nothing until the follow
ing day, when he awoke to find that his
friend, silver watch and chain, and $45 in
money had disappeared. The police were no.

New Music.

Oliver Ditson & Co. sends us six songs and
piano pieces, which seem to be good hot
weather music, and arc suggestive of summer
sights and sounds, How Molloy's "Great
Grandmother" suggests these is not so clear,
but doubtless she lived in tae country; there
can be no mistake, however about "The
Death of tho Nightingale" by sHenschel, who
takes the words from the Persian of Hafz;
and "That Traitor Love- by J. Roeckel, is
especially busy in summer. when fragrance is
in the air and lanes are shady, cool and dim.
The "Dream of the Shepherdess," by Labitz-
ky, piano piece, is surely Summer idyl;
and that triumphal march, "Al the Rage"
by Artus, and tho "SkyRocket Galop," by
Kieber, are July pieces if they are anything.
a copy of the weekly Musical Record comes
with the music.

A Suspicious Failure.

A meeting of the Boston creditors of Charles
L. Todd, furniture dealer, of Newport, Me-,
was held Wednesday at 1872 Hanover street,
Boston. A large portion of Mr.. Todd's in
debtedness to firms in that city was represent
cd, but little was done except to interchange
opinions upon the aspect of affairs The fail
ure took the Boston creditors by surprise, and
it was thought best to have meeting immedi-
ately. though it was not expected that the
debtor would be present or that any statement
from him would be submitted to the meeting
The failure is looked upon as suspicious one
by the creditors in Boston, and some of its con-
comitants are pointed at as justifying adverse
criticism. For example, the Boston Herald
says the first of last month Mr.. Todd was in
Boston to make purchases, and on the demand
from firm, Of which he was seeking credit
for statement of his finances, he made an ex-
hi5it of his liabilities and assets, from which
the latter were shown to be more than seven
times the former. About three weeks ago he
was again in Boston to make purchases, and,
it is said that he bought an unusually large
quantity of goods, and also bought OF firms
with which he had never had any dealings be-
FORE In Mr.. Todd's statement of his affairs,
above referred to, he represented his stock,
etc., as free from encumbrance, but it is now
learned that there are two mortgages, amount
ing to $1,000, upon the property. How long
these mortgages have been in existence is not
known, but it is supposed that they have Just
been put on record, as, otherwise, the creditors
would probably have known of their existence.
Beside the mortgages. the property has also
been attached by parties in Newport. AS soon
as the failure was known in Boston, Mr.. Hoop
er, of the Bay State Caslzet Company, started
Immediately for Newport, at the request OF
several firms interested, and without waiting
for the action of all the creditors, and it was
voted by the meeting Wednesday to await Mr..
Hooper's return before determining upon a
course Of action in the premises. 1t is learned
that Mr.. Todd says that, when on his last trip
to Boston, he was robbed in sleeping car OF
$500 or $500 somewhere between Portland and
Somerville.

Mrs. Emma Wilson.

A correspondent of the Union Advocate of

reference to Mrs Emma Wilson, wife of AL
len Wilson Of Arson, who died in this city
July Goth, aged 2S years:
Mrs. Wilson (1oee Emma Bryant had been
sick for nearly year when she was taken to
Portland few weeks ago for medical treat
ment, her home physician having done all he
could to save her: but for her disease
(Bright's diseaselthere is seldom, if ever, any
remedy. Mrs. Wilson endured her suffering
with singular patience and met her terrible
affiiction with cheerfulness. She passed the
education in the district schools and the aead-
envy. she always ranked among the first in
scholarship, particularly in mathematics, in
which she had few equals among tie young
ladies that have lived there. For several
years she taught in the district schools in this
vicinity, and was always successful. She was
preceptress at Oak Grove Seminary two terms
in 1875, and in that position her anxiety and
conscientious endeavor to do good resulted in
great benefit to those under her instruction.
Her amiable disposition and stainless charac-
ter are known to every one that knew her.
Her funeral was attended by large number
OF the young ladies with whom she had passed
many a happy hour of youth, and their floral
tributes symboliZed the sweet memories of
by-gone hours in school Fand society. Though
the sun of her life set before its noon, the fra
GRANGE of Its morning added to the happiness
of the world. On the stage of life she acted
well her part; and when the scene closed she
entered upon happier one, .where she waits
for those that are dear to her. -
