Charles s. Hall Arrested for R Receiving stolen Chickens-Other Arrests will Probably Follow - The Recent Theft of Chickens to be Thoroughly Investigated-Edward Baldwin of New Haven the Agent of the Adams Express COmpany-Lively Sport on the Lake Ice Being Harvested other Items.
 Charles S. Hall was arrested Saturday l morning by Officer Reilly and was brought l before Judge Hubbard charged with re- ceiving and concealing stolen property. The case was continued until Monday, February 8. There are several others mixed up in this chicken stealing business and now that the matter is opened it will be pushed to the end and several we'll known young persons in town will be called to &C., count. The business has been carried on for some time and it is about time that the entire business was showed up. The Y. M. 0. A. minstrels had another big house Saturday evening and sent ev- erybody home well pleased. The members have devoted much time to rehearssls and it is pleasing to know that tkeir efforts to please have been successful and that they have had full house both evenings. They deserve much credit for their untiring ef- forts to make the undertaking a success. Many of the members think that the directors of the Y. NJ. c. A. have not rendered the assistance that was naturally expected they would in helping along the good work when the entire work was for the benefit of the Y. M. c. A. building fund, and it has seemed to them that their efforts for the cause were not justly appre- ciated: Friday evenings receipts amount ed to $202.
 There was lively sport on the lake Satur- day afternoon and the iceboat was running 1 for all that it was worth. The wind and weather were all that could be desired, and the speed attained at times by the flying craft was startling. Persons standing on the shore calculated that the boat was skipping across the ice at sudden spurts at the rate of fully mile 8 minute. There | were many young folks of both sexes who | for the frat time enjoyed the novel experi- ence of an iceboat ride and all were well pleased with the exciting sport. l The ice companySwas rushing the ice harvesting on Simpson's pond Saturday, and expect to have the houses filled inside | oI Iour oAys. Ine 1ce on tae upper eno IS l twelve inches thick but on the south end it is ten inches and much better ice, and l will be given the preference as it is con l sidered better thickness for use and to handle in the summer.
