VANDALISM. The most fragrant case of
vandalism that has occurred in this city for
long time was at the Upper Grammar
schoolroom the morning of July 4tE. After
the night police had gone home and the city
was normally quiet for the 4th of July, some
boys broke into the schoolhouse by break
ing glass and unlocking a window sash. In
side they committed acts for which there
could be no possible excuse. They destroy
ed a skeleton used in illustrating anatomy,
threw books about the house, broke furni-
ture and spattered the walls, books, desks
and seats with ink. The matter was re-
ported to Mayor Shales and City Marshal
Mcdonald; and the School Committee,
through chairman Bickford, presented it
to the City Council. Mr.. Mcdonald is in
vestigating the case with view to bring
ing the perpetrators to justice.
