THEATRE.-A full and fashionable audience
greeted the dramatic company last evening at
Deering Hall. SThe play was Richelieu, or the
Conspiracy, drama most admirably written,
and requiring much talent to perform it well.
The character of the Cardinal is one difficult
to represent. No ordinary actor ever under
takes it. Mr.. buchanan fully enters into the
spirit Of it, and personates it in fine style
We think Bulwer, the author Of this celebrat-
ed drama, would be perfectly satisfied with
M. Buchanan's representation of the cunning,
coughing old man. Virginia Buchanan sus-
tanned her part remarkably well, and Flora
Myers acted the Page to the life The play
went off to the satisfaction of the audience
Tonight Mr.. buchanan appears in enother
and quite different role-Sir HarcoVrt, in Sion
don Assurance, land his daughter acts Lady
Gay, "a character which requires good dea
of energy and fine acting, and Miss buchanan
is fully equal to the task. London Assurance
is a popular play, and we think it will pleas
the audience even better than Richelieu
There is more fun in it, and that is what thu
people are after now the war is over; for they
have had enough Of treason and tragedy dur
ing the past four years to last them a lifetime
We expect to see the Hall filed in every part
Of it this evening. Procure your tickets II
season and make sure of your seats. saiai iia7
HORSE THIEF.-A man calling his name
Peter 4. Giles, and claiming to belong to De
troit Maine, came to this city Tuesday with 9
horse and top buggy. Wednesday he sold the
team, but at so low price as to create a sus
picion that he had stolen it, and he was arrest
ed by Deputy Marshals Wentworth and Irish
He told the officers that he hired the team il
Augusta. and named the person of whom h,
had it. Upon telegraphing to that city it wa
found that no such person resided there a
Giles had named.
Subsequently it was discovered that tn
team belonged to Col. Golden at Parker
Head Phipsburg, and Giles acknowledged tina
he hired it from him. The owner has bee
telegraphed upon the matter, and will probah
iy be here to-day. sam %
Prior to stealing the above mentioned horse
Giles stole one at Lewiston and sold it i
Bath. His business in this line is cut off fo
the present.
