ATTEMPTED RoBBERIEs.-Late last
night burglar entered the residence
of Mr.. James Allen in West End, near
the Stone Bridge, by cutting through q
slat in window blind. He went to
the room of Mrs. Allen and took there
from dress which he brought down
stairs evidently supposing there was
money in The pocket, but in this he was
mistaken. The burglar before entering
the house went to the wood-shed and
secured an axe which he carried in the
house with him, presumably to protect
himself if discovered. So far as known
nothing was taken from the house. The
house of Mr. Norman Curtis, short
distance from that of Mr.. Allen, was
also entered by a burglar last night but
nothing was stolen.

ARLINGTON INsTITUTE.-The Goth
session of this school closed pleasantly
on Wednesday evening last, when It's
forty pupils, large and small, came
docking, like gay birds in bright plum
age, to hear the results of years
hard work within its walls. The eXer-
cises opened with appropriate religious
service. This was followed by reading
the report for the year and giving the
testimonials to each pupil according to
her grade. This report showed mark
ed Improvement over the preceding
year, no pupil who had been two
years in the school falling below 30 per
cent, and many attaining from so to
100, which entities to the lst grade. Al,
ter this FIVE young ladies were called
to receive the silver medal whose motto
is "Nulla die dcfui." Their rosy checks
and sparkling eyes were good witnesses
to the fact that regularity in school du-
ties is no hindrance to health and hap
piness. The five, who were not alb
sent a single day during the term were
Miss Mary Ramsay, Miss Mamie
French, Miss Sarah Howard, Miss

ladies have gone through the entire
course of the school with great credit
to themselves and to the satisfaction OF
their teachers, and their interest in the
sorrows and joys of the younger pui;;
pills has won loving response in all
their hearts. The graceful val
edictory of Miss Hill ended the
grayer duties of the evening, and
after refreshments and an inter-
change of congratulations and regrets,
the happy band separated with bright
anticipations of meeting again in the
near future.

His voice fell again, and for some mo
ments it was go low that no one could hear
him. Then he would burst forth with some
dramatic exclamation plainly heard
throug hout the room. 1t was this way all
through bis harangue. After Harris had
spoken OF the affidavit OF Juror Mason, that
he che juror would have given different
verdict if the evidence presented by recent
nfidavits had been before him. he turned to
MIR. Howe, his counsel and said: Don't

tears ran down his cheeks. After address

Harris had spoken for an hour and 40 min
