Arrest of a gang of Female Thieve*.
It is well known that our citizens of late
have suffered from extensive depredation upon
their clothes lines, and also in various other
ways in which articles have been stolen. They
will be glad to learn that a portion of the gang
who committed these depredations have beeu
arrested.
Deputy Marshal lleald has been engaged
two weeks in working up this matter, and he
has succeeded in recovering a large quantity
of clothing, dry goods, Ac., stolen from clothes
lines, shops and dwelling houses, and has ar
rested four female thieves who have been en
gaged in these neturious opci aliens. The
articles recovered consist of various kinds of
wearing apparel, baby’s clothing, sheets, quilts,
an india rubber door mat. a child's carriage, a
breadth of carpeting, shoes, napkins, table
cloths, bleached cotton, shawls, hoods, under
sleeves, delaines, prints, two tubs, Ac., Ac.
The women arrested are Joanna McGrath,
Helen Murphy, Catherine Tilley and Bridget
ltoouey. Murphy and McGrath are supposed
to be the principal clothes-line thieves. They
would wash for families on Mondays and then
go at night and steal the articles from the lines.
In one case Mrs. AIcGrath went on Sunday
night, knowing where the articles were placed,
and stole the “washing” for the hext day, and
a carpet with it. They were also concerned
with Tilley and Rooney in shop lifting, and,
from appearances, must have done a pretty
extensive business.
The first one arrested by Mr. Heald was
Mrs. McGrath, residing in Canton street. He
went to her house, on suspicion that she had
stolen a hood from the shop of Mrs. Meguire
014 Middle street. Before he could obtain en
trance Mrs. McGrath burned the hood in the
stove. She acknowledged the fact, and he
made her pay for the article, ne then looked
round the house and found a large lot of cloth
ing, Ac., which he was confident did not be
long to her. He took it to the Police office,
and portions of it have since been identified
by parties as liclonging to them.
Mrs. McGrath, on being detected in her of
fences, “peached'' against her opposite neigh
bor, Mrs. Murphy. The Deputy Marshal
thought he would visit that place and see if he
could discover anything of a hood, stolen from
the shop of Mrs. Clark on Middle street. He
found it there—the hood was covered by a
dish on the wall, but the strings betrayed it.
Here he also found a quantity of dry goods,
some of which have been identified as having
been stolen from the stores of Air. Corey, Airs.
Clark and Mr. Little, also two tubs which she
had stolen from somebody.
Mrs. Murphy then turned “informer” against
Airs. Tilley who had formerly resided on
Brackett street, but then boarded with Airs.
McMrath. On visiting the house on Brackett
street where she had resided, a lot of stolen ar
ticles were found.
Mrs. Tilley then “complained of Bridget
DniVtIOV nr It St It a d fitwittneln snsi.lnd ... !<l, li_.
McGrath, but was laiarding on Danforth
street. In her possession was found a variety
of articles which she had stolen. Among
them were rubbers, shoes, <fce.
All of these women have been committed to
jail to await the action of the grand jury.
Mr. Ileald deserves great credit for the suc
cessful manner in which he has prosecuted
his investigation in this matter. That these
women are notorious thieves, and have stoien
every thing they could lay their hands on, is
evident from the variety of articles recovered.
One of them burned a portion of linen goods
■ and other articles stolen from a shop, which
she was afraid to keep in the honse. We trust
all of these characters will receive their just
deserts.
The articles recovered by Mr. Ileald are all
at the Police office. Those persons who have
missed anything are particularly requested to
call at the office to-day to see if they can
identify auy of them as having been stolen
from them.
One of the Signs.—Capeu on his sign
painting shop in Willow street has got out one
of those peculiar signs which shows three
faces. As you pass down, on the opposite side
of the street you see a sign with a blue ground
bearing an Eagle with the motto “Union and
Liberty, Now and Forever.” As you get op
posite the sign, it reads “Sign Painting,” on a
brown ground: passing down the street a little,
and you see on a green ground the name
“William Capen.” It is got up in Capens good
style, and is worth looking'at.
The Steamer that Scared the East
ern People.—Steamer Welland, Capt. Ar
nold, from Montreal for New York, arrived
at this port yesterday afternoon, having put in
to coal up. This is the steamer which so
frightened our people down east, they sup
posing it to be the Alabama. Capt. Arnold
states that he put in to Frenchman’s Bay to
avoid the storm.
Assault.—Early yesterday morning, as a
party of young Irish Americans were return
ing from a dance, they were assaulted in Centre
street, near Cobb's Court by a gang of fellows
who threw stones at them. They defended
themselves as well as they could until the ar
rival of officers Stinson and Williams, when
they turned to and assisted the officers in ar
resting five of the gang, who were taken before
the Municipal Court yesterday and fined.
The First Steamer.—Steamship Jura,
Capt. Alton, from Liverpool 13th and London
derry 14th, arrived at this port about 7 o’clock
Ihursday morning. She brings a light cargo
and 88 passengers. Her news has been an
ticipated by the arrival of the Africa at Hali
fax.
jyThe Thanksgiving vacation in our pub
lic schools expires to-day.
Death of Mrs. Jewett.—With painful
emotions our citizens, on Thursday, received
intelligence of the death of Mrs. Elizabeth F.
Jewett, wife of the Collector of this port.
Very few persons were aware that she was un
well. Her death was quite sudden, she having
been conlined to the sick room but for about
one week.
In the death of this estimable lady the whole
community suffers, for she. has always been
foremost in works of benevolence and kind
ness. In her efforts to ameliorate the condi
tion of our soldiers who have gone to the field
of battle, she had absolutely overtasked her
I belf. The Ladies’ Aid Association will miss
; her more, perhaps, than they would any oilier
one from their ranks, for she was always ready
to do and perform any task which would add
to the comfort of our soldiers, no matter what
it was. Her visits to the sick in the hospitals
were frequent, and everything she could do to
alleviate pain and suffering was not wanting.
1 Her amiable and Christian spirit animated her
to deeds of kindness to her fellow-creatures,
ami multitudes will mourn her loss.
Mrs. Jewett was a daughter of the lateChas.
Fox, Esq. She died in the midst of her use
fulness at tlie age of 51 years. On Thanks
giving Day, when the hearts of millions were
lifted up to God witii gratitude, she departed
to spend, as we trust, an eternity of thanksgiv
ing in brighter realms above. The afflicted
family of the deceased will have the sympathy
of the whole community.
WESLEYS WAR l ABLE.vvx, continues to
attract crowded houses at Deering Hall. Two
entertainments will he given today, this after
noon at 3 and this evening at 7 1-2 o'clock.
The greul success which characterize the rep
resentations of these beautiful paintings, be
speak their high merit, without any further en
I comium on our part, and the public of Port
land seem fully to realize the fact that they
have a good entertainment afforded to them,
by the large crowds which assemble every ev
ening to witness it. The excitement and
eagerness with which the audience gaze upon
these scenes as they glide along show how
they appeal to the hearts and sentiments of
the great, masses ot the people.
This exibition will close on Monday evening
next, and we advise all to visit without delay.
Larceny of Money.—Daniel Ward was
called upon Wednesday evening to stand as
godfather to a child of Mrs. Elizabeth Dona
hue. After the ceremony the parties had a
supper and a good time at the house of Mrs.
I). The lady tell asleep iu one chair, with the
baby in her arms, and Ward full asleep iu
another. Thursday morning, on waking up,
Mrs. Donahue missed $10 from iter purse—
that is between her stocking and leg. Sus
pecting that Ward had stolen it, as he had seen
her take money trom that reccpticlc, site set
Deputy Marshal Iloald and officer Burr in pur
suit of him. They found Ward and found the
stolen money—a $20 and two $10 bills—upon
him. He was locked up to await the action of
the grand jury.
Thanksgiving passed off very quietly,
and with the signs and observances usual on
such occasions. The churches were probably
not over-crowded, though many of them were
0|>ou for religious worship. We saw several of
them, but regret that, we wee* compelled to
confine onr observations to the outside. The
Inside congregations of course were decorous,
the outside ones were remarkable for their
general good conduct. The evidences of dis
sipation were by no means numerous. It is
onr opinion 1 hat for good order and goon po
lice regulations, Portland is a pattern city.
Collision.—British Schooner George, of
and from Nova Scotia, with plaster, for this
port, altout six o’clock Thursday evening, ten
miles east of Boon Island Light was run into
by the schooner Alexandria, from Boston for
this port. The George was injured so badly
that she sunk in little over an hour after she
was struck. She had eight passengers and a
crew of five men. They were all taken off by
the Alexandria and arrived here yesterday.
They lost every thing except the clothing they
had ou.
Company No. 23.—This company of the en
rolled militia of the State is composed of the
citizens of Ward No. 7. It is commanded by
Capt. Harmon, and since the election of offi
cers in July last, has met semi-weekly for drill.
Adjutant General Ilodsdou iias recently grant
ed the members of the corps the use of some
of the State inuskets for drill purposes.
Martha Washington Society.—A ser
mon will lie delivered in behalf of this soeiety
by Kev. Mr. Clark, tomorrow evening in the
Methodist E. Church, Chestnut street, services
to commence at 7 o'clock. A collection will
be taken in aid of the funds of the society.
Diiugo No. 8.—Engine Co. No. 8, with their
friends had a quiet, sociable entertainment
Thanksgiving evening, at the Lowell Street
Hail. Everything passed off in a pleasant
and happy manner.
Additional allotments of companies E,
G, U, I, and K, 13th regiment, for the months
of May, June, July and August, have been
reccivcu aim are payauic ai me l ily treasu
rer's olllce.
The Emancipation Question comes up
again for discussion this evening at the hall of
the Mercantile Library Association, corner of
Middle and Plum Street.
Moiee Fruit.—Ansel Luthrop. Xo. 134 Fore
street, has received a large lot of pine apples
and oranges direct from Cuba. Xow is your
time to get good fruit at extremely low prices.
We trust otr citizens will see to it in
this soft weather that their sidewalks are clear
ed from snow. Do'nt wait for it to freeze hard
and thus make slippery walking.
Attention is invited to the notice or

New Yobk, Nov. 28.
The steamer British Queen, from Havana
22d :ld Nassau 24th, arrived this evening. !
She l>* night no Havana papers. The Nassau
Guari! in states that the rebel Autonica, late
Britis | steamer Herald, and the Leopard, ar
rived fom Charleston on the 20th. Steamers
Ariez and Hero were at Charleston on the
l"th. Admiral Wilkes, with two steamers, ar- i
rived iif Nassau on the 20th. She signalled i
for a i i ot, and a pilot went out and informed !
Wilkes that he could not pilot him in only by j
sjiecial permit of the Governor, who had is
sued a iiroclaination to that effect on the 11th.
The Af .niral replied lie would not ask a per
mit, bit would come in without it. He then
bore a l ly and lay to at a distance of three
miles linn the shore. The Guardian is very
indign | it, and says Wilkes will not tie allowed
to com j in, probably teeling afraid that the pres
ence o| tlie two rebel steamers iu port might
come '!■ grief. The Octora and Sonoma were
at Abif -o on the 15tli, much to the disgust of

Ef" Tin; Newbnryport Herald, an able,
loyal anti-administration paper, referring par
ticularly to the President and his emancipa
tion proclamation, says, “as the official head
of tlie nation, his official acts must be accept
ed and obeyed, even when dissented from. He
must he allowed the exercise of the authority
delegated to him; and the responsibility that
rests upon him witli a heavy weight, must he
remembered as fairly and generously as possi
ble. That is the true doctrine; anythinj else
is to inaugurate anarchy ami violence, and to
jeopardise life and property everywhere iu the
land.”

respect,
A WORK OF ART.
1 he unseemly daubs w hich are generally prodneed

The senior partner of the Company, whose experi- j
euceof nearly a quarter of a century in the Stove ■
Manufacture, says—that by an
AIR T I G II T STOVE
wemeau a stove so perfectly fitted as to place the |
draft of the stove entirely within the coutrol of the |
person using it; enabling him to preserve either a 1
wood or coal tire for many hours, by simply closing •
the draft slide, thus securing great economy iu time, j
and iu cost of fuel, as well as avoiding the dust cuu- j
sequent upon rekindling.
ROASTING AND BAKING.
But the novel—the peculiar feature ot the MODEL i
COOK—that which dibtingtmhe* it from all others—
is the addition of a Ventilated Koastiug Oven withil I
the body of the stove and in front of the fire; so ar- 1
ranged that it can be used separately for roasting, or
(by the removal of a simple plate) in connection with
the larger oven for baking.
Wherever these stove* have been used, they hare
given universal satisfaction.
