Yesterday noon, Henry Burleigh distracted
the sum of $500 from the store of his father,
Josiah Burleigh, the clothier, and left town on
the Doon train over the Grand Trunk. Bur-
leigh was accompanied by young man named
Sheldon, who is alleged to be an accomplice.
The theft was speedily discovered, and an in
vestigation was begun. Mr.. Lawlor, the ticket
agent at the depot. remembered selling tickets
to the young men, and also stated that Detec-
tive Wormell was on the train. Mr.. Wormell
was tslegrsphed and secured Burleigh, whom
he held at some station on the line. Officer
Thrasher was sent after the captured man and
having taken him in charge started to return
to Portland. During the passage he discov-
cred Sheldon secreted in the train and brought
both men in. The money was recovered. The
fellows spent the night behind the bars, and it
is understood that they will be brought before
the court this morning on charge of larceny.

Soldiers Rounaies and .he Monument.

We are informed by Assistant City Treasurer
George III. Libby that the statement published
10 yesterdays PRESS, while correct in one
sense gives an erroneous impression in so far
as it implies that the city hes money in its
hands, which was paid in by the State as reim-
bursement for bounties paid out during the
war. For example, let us say that the city
had three men on her quota, to two of which
she had paid $500 apiece in bounties, and one
to which she had paid nothing; one in fact
who was substitute paid by his employer.
The city we will say was reimbursed 5000 for
those three men, receiving 5000 less than she
paid out. The correct figures on the books are
as follows:
Paid by the city for state and city
Dounues $37 40
Refunded by State........... ........,,.s los 800
Difference against the city 1862 72o
Paid by State equalization of bounties. 10000

This well-known band of Ministries filed Portland

McNish received great applause for his feats of
contortion, and the bicycle clog executed by six
performers, was most attractive feature. A very
funny burlesque closed the entertainments.
THE LITTLE JOKER.
The Lowell Times says: "Carrie Swain drew
another full house at Music Hall last evening, and
won new friends by her vivacity and accomplish
ments. There are few entertainments that would
bear repetition night after night as this does, and
the fact that the coincidence is greeted nightly
with full houses is compliment which she has well
earned. In her popular songs and Dances she was
greeted with applause and the many strong dramat
10 situations were effectively presented and warmly
appreciated. The supporting company is very good.
The play is full of life and NOV ement.'
