The High school entertainment Thursday
The audience room was filled. The drama
entitled sour Folks" was rendered in
pleasing manner by an excellent cast of
characters, and every act was greeted with
bursts of applause. The play lasted two hours
and is by far the best ever rendered by the
school. An intermission of half an hour be-
tween the second and third acts was made en-
joyable by the distribution of refreshments.
ice cream, and cake. After the close of the
entertainment a private dance of about 40
couples was INDUCED in by the young folks,
and lasted till a late hour. Pullen's orches-
ira of Augusta furnished the music with their
usual excellence, This entertainment was
superior in points of excellence to any ever
given by the High school. About S95 was
the amount of the receipts.
There are two changes of teachers in the
city schools next term; one in the High

either by Common or Tillock, in regard to
their teams. and they began to realize that a
sharp game had been played on them. The
authorizes were notified and an active search
was made, but for long time the matter was
a mystery Circulars relating to the subject
were printed and given wide distribution. and
all possible measures to ferret out the cases
were adopted.
The particulars have now been ascertained
to quite an extent. The fellow sold Tillock's
Sleigh robes and harness to a man in Bangor
named West, for Sl2. He then took Connor's
team and with Tillock's horse in tow drove to
Camden, where he PLACED the horse on board

horses were sold at auction at the stable on
the following day. Tillock's horse was sold
