two boys about IL years of age, were
arrested yesterday afternoon by Off

guilty of shooting holes through one
of the windows at st. Mary's church.

bile repeatedly, and it is likely that he
will be sent to the house of correc-
ton. Magistrate Johnson this morn
ing bound both over in the sum of
500.
