Thursday afternoon, officer McGrath met
two boys on Elm street, carrying a gun, which
they said they had found in vacant lot near
the Natural History Society's building. The
gun appeared very old, and was taken in
charge bg the officer. 1t is curious old wea-
pom. about as long as mans arm, with a
heavy wooden stock, and large brass barrel.
modern lock appears to be an addition to
the original piece. On the barrel is stamped
the word London, and what seems to be coat
of arms, although SO small as to bs hardly leg
ible.. On the lock appears the incription "R
& r. Sutherland A sight at the end OF the
barrel has been removed or broken off, and
the stock is here bound to the barrel with wire.
Apparently the gun has been carefully pre-
served until within short tiae, when the
rust gathered, 1t is suggested that the piece
may have been stolen from some collection
and thrown or hidden where the boys found it,
If the owner desires to recover his property he
can do so by applying to officer McGrath,

Miner Notes.
The Aroostcok Times says The appointment of
W. Cram, Esq, as general manager of the New
Brunswick Railroad meets with general favor
among the business men of Aroostook, with whom
he is held in high esteem. MIR. Cram was for &
number of years superintendent and practically
sole manager of the European and North Amer lean
road aud the ability with which he managed that
property AIDE valuable and led TO its absorption
by The Maiue Central. OF late ne has acted as
general eastern freight agent OF the Maine Central
Railroad. Mr. Cran as general manager of the
New Brunswick road, will have nearly 46o miles
of road under his charge, and that he viii add
largely TO its value there can be no doubt.
