ers arrived from PASSPORT, having under ar
rest William 81. Apt, a young man who has
been acting as stage driver between East
port and Robbinston. When Goulding was
arrested by Inspectors Barrio and Pendleton
lately for robbing the mails, Goulding de-
clared he took nothing but money. In his
possession was a stylographic pen that had
been stolen from the mails. Goulding said he
boughtit Of Apt. Apt was watched and ev-
idence obtained that caused his arrest. He
was brought before Commissioner Rand,
pleaded guilty and bound over in $500 for his
appearance before the United States Court
Apt is young man and lost his father and
mother when very young. He has also lost
an arm by the premature explosion of a gun.

forcible assumption. Mr.. Paige as Bob
Briefly, uses the Lancashire dialect proper
ly, while his acting is smooth and pleasing
Jim Dalton is in the care of Mr.. Fannin ana
receives able treatment, as does Meter Moss
by Mr.. Henderson. Mr.. Chace does very
creditabls piece of work as Maltby, and Mr.
Kingdom is an efficient Mr.. Gibson. The
ladies are unusually pleasing. Miss Glass
ford assumes the role of May Edwards with
good taste; Mrs. Henderson is very amusing
as the laxative Mrs. Willoughby, while Miss
McVeigh captivates all as the mischievous
boy. Sam Willoughby.
The specialties are in themselves worth
the price of an admission.

ical Institutes arrived in the city this morning
with full stock OF practical experience in the
cure Of all chronic diseases, which they pupose to
give gratuitously to all who call upon them for the
next 80 days commencing today, April 1st. AS
this is done to extend this system now so popular

Gen. FL. L. Mitchell, the present brigade
commander of the Maine militia, says that
the plan to abolish the brigade organization,
according to the order passed in the legisla-
ture on Saturday last, will not work we'll.
He said:
81 knew nothing of the new move until
after the order was passed. l know nothing
of the plans, but 1 understal d that they
mean to establish four battalions in the slate
to be under the command Of one colonel
That will dispense with the services of one
of the present colonies and his staff. In my
opinion the moment that this is done it will
take two or three years to get the militia up
to the standard at which it rests today.

company is now strong and healthYn
