Stop Thief.

Moore & Company, the clothiers. are
again the victims of sneak thieves.
About dark on Tuesday evening two
men entered the store and while the re
stole a pair of fine pants. Mr.. Vance,
the manager. detected the theft and pur-
sued the thieves. One ran up the ave-
nue. toward First street and the other
took an opposite direstion and was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Vance to Coffin Bros
store where the thief and the pants were
lost in the darkness. Mr.. Vance started
through the town, visiting the various
saloons on an amateur detective search,
but his vigilance was unrewarded. 1t
was bold piece of work on the part of
the thieves.

Wo0dcoek Academy Notes.

The entertainment given by the faculty
and students Of Woodcock Academy last
Friday night was an unqualified success.
The church was full and the audience
expresse itself as delighted with every
feature presented. Songs were rendered
by girls chorus and young ladies'
quartet. Besides an interesting dialogue
and burlesque Grafton, Jean Ingelow's
"Songs OF Seven" was presented-the
latter by seven young ladies in excellent
character. The main interest Of the
evening. however, gathered about
"Grandmother's Album" in which Miss
Martha Wiley as "Grsndmother" "pre.
scented the likenesses of her many
friends" with appropriate comments.
About twenty people, in costume, sub
fnitted by turns to Miss Wiley's search
ing FIRE and the audience testified the ap-
probation of her numerous "hits" by
prolonged laughter. THE deacon and
the hired man" got it pretty heavy, but
it was all in fun and so far as known
there were no hearts broken. Those
who participated in the program have
been asked to repeat the entertainment
elsewhere, but they will probably not be
able to comply, because in such an af-
fair 30 much depends upon the peculiar
local flavor. About $40 was realized to
apply on the academy paint fund.
Miss Martha Wiley, instructor in
Greek and Mathematics at Woodcock
Academy, has rendered her resignation

At Rich's hall on Saturday evening
was given very pleasant and novel en-
tertainment-s Japanese social-under
the direction Of Mrs. Roberts. The pro-
ceeds, which were enormous considering
the fee charged, go to most praise

is at present in deplorabe condition.
