BURGLARY AT OLD ORCHARD.

MIR. R. B. Carpenter, the Portland
barber, has a shop at Old Orchard for the
summer. Monday night he had visit
from burglars. They gained admission
by cutting piece of glass from the front
window, by putting piece of paper,
smeared with lnolasses on the pane and
cutting around it. They then proceeded
to loot the shop, stealing and carrying
away every movable thing except the
chairs. They took every razor, towel,
brush, several pairs of clippers, scissors
combs. bay rum, cosmetic, hair dye, &c. !,
in fact everything of any value that they
could transport. Mr.. Carpenter had no
shop to work in yesterday morning and
had to come to Portland for complete
new outfit.

IN THE UNITED ESTATES COURT


In the United States District Court, be-
fore Judge Webb, yesterday afternoon,
Edward McAttee of Hodgdon, was brought
up, charged with smuggling some so
barrels of potatoes across the border from
Canada, and in the Circuit Court, also
before Judge Webb, Benjamin Wiggin of
Mars Hill, was brought up for smuggling
80 barrels. 1t seems that it is quite an
inducement to smuggle the potatoes as a
duty of 50 10 cents is levied on every
barrel brought across the border. Both
men pleaded guilty. MoAttee was fined
$50 and sentenced to Portland Jail for 10
days, and Wiggin was fined $50 and sent
enced to five days in Portland Jail. Hon.
Geo. E. Bird appeared for the prisoners
