While serving at the head of the High school MT. Thomas gave some highly instructive lectures on different authors, which were quite largely at tended, not alone by teachers and scholars, but also by others outside of the school.
 With his familiarity with the subject in hand and his clearness in expression the lecturer should meet with great success.
 After the first talk, which will be in. troductory, each one will be partly de- voted to a careful examination of some | important poem or poems, with illus, trative reading.

BACK TO COUNTY JAIL.

Lynch Bound Over to the Superior
 Court by Judge Platt in Meriden--
 Stole an Honor Medal.
 Meriden, Nov 24.--Martin Lynch, who was brought from New Haven yester- day by Captain Van Nostrand, having just served term in New Haven jail for vagrancy, was charged in the police court this morning with theft of the goods of D. J. Donovan and entering house with intent to steal.
 Lynch pleaded not guilty One of the state's important witnesses, Detec- tive H. J. Donnelly of New Haven, was not present and court was adjourned to meet in Judge Platts office at il o'clock, at which time Detective Don- nelly was present.
 When court convened D. J. Donovan from whom medal and watch a."l several other trinkets were taken last September, was the first witness. When Lynch was arrested in New Haven on the charge of vagrancy the medal which had been given Donovan was found on his person, and the Meriden police thought this sufficient evidence to ask Lynch's detention.
 Detective Donnelly testified as to his arrest of Lynch in New Haven. Judge Platt ordered the count charg- ing Lynch with theft be stricken out, and found probable cause on the other. Lynch was bound over under $500 bonds. Lynch's bad record, together with his having so much stolen proper ty in his possession, was very much against him.
