BERLIN, N. H., Sept. 24.-YesterdsY the
Republicans Of this town raised beautiful
flag 20 by 50 feet with the name of Blaine and
Logan inscribed thereon. This was done
amidst much enthusiasm and speaking by
several noted politicians Of the State. AS the
weather was fine the flag was not taken in at
dark and during the night it was stolen by
some miscreant, who when found will no
doubt be punished as he deserves. The town has
been in an uproar today The supposition is
that some of the opposition know all about
the matter
LATER-The flag was found this afternoon
in the Androscoggin river, where it was thrown
after being torn down, and it has been re-
placed. Much indignation prevails in the

SIX MONTHS EACH.
A PostOfice Burglar and a Pension
Fraud Each Get a Touch
of Justice.

Clifford Hough, who the other day
pleaded guilty in the United States court
of burglarizing the Crescent City post
office last December, was yesterday SEN
fenced to six months in the county Jail.
This was for the first of the two burglar
les of the postofice there, the second Wis
itation being in January last, while
Hough was in Jail here, 80 hat he was
not concerned in that. The postofice
was located in the store of Mr.. Swanson,
the postmaster, and besides the robbery
of the office, goods were taken from the
store. The six months penalty is for
the plumber taken from the
postofice, that being especially Uncle
Sans business to attend to. The plum
dering of the store forms another charge
under the state law, and young Hough
will have a separate hearing ON this in
the district court.
An old man named Birch also had his
case disposed of yesterday. He has been
longer in Jail here than any other of the
prisoners. He was arrested and locked
up about a year ago for q fraudulent at.
tempt to get n pension. After about six
months delay he was tried and sen
fenced to one year in the p~enitentiary.
His attorneys raised the question OF
Jurisdiction, or some other technical
question, and while this was pending the
court ordered the prisoner kept in jail
here, and his time to go on. Yesterday
the court oyerruled the motion, and Bircf
was ordered taken to Anamosa to serve
out the remaining six months of his sen,
tence. The old man has thus been her,
nearly a year, but during all the jai
breaks and other disturbances has be
haved himself in an orderly manner. IL,
could not, if he had wanted to, take any
very active part in a row, as his eyes ar,
SO diseased that he has almost lost hi
sight.
