academy team.
Chas. Grow, constable, received des-
patch one night last week to stop one OF
the through freights and search it for Geo.
Champion, the supposed murderer of the
Goodwin family IN Maine. Grow found a
fellow in one of the cars and arrested him,
but as he did not resemble Champion &C
cording to the description given, he was
allowed to depart in peace.
Several from here were in Newport last
week. Some attended the meeting OF the
Congregational society and it is not I'M

on purpose to see the circus were anxious
parents who dared not let their children
go alone, neither did they feel like denying
them the pleasure of seeing the clown,
hence this sacrifice on their own part.
