who "never say die,' for he has been going,
going, almost gone, like the goods under the
auctioneer's hammer, but still he fingers yet,
and gives this evening another of his exceed
ingly popular entertainments. We can with
safety say that this is positively the last (for
the preselt) as we see by the Bangor papers
that the Doctor opens there on Friday. His
exhibitions improve in quality and quantity
suited with such mass of entertainments for
so low fee must be hard to please. Our
Portland Band furnish the music, and, of
course, it will be good. A full programme can
be found in another column.
