MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.

-Wehl, the pianist, is in New York, having
left Chicago in disgust He was engaged by
Grover to play between the acts of the German
opera; but some person jealous of his success
performed the contemplate trick of greasing
the keys of his piano, so that when he came out
toplay they had to be wiped, and even then
could scarcely be used Wehli, however, play
ed, and the next day gave up his engagement.

be made admissible as evidence, which the de-

To the Editor of the Press.

EJff8NgLl BAR MILLS, JAN A. 1866.
Your readers in this vicinity, 1 think, will be
pleased to sec brief mention made in your
paper of famous entertainment which came
off at the house of Mr.. Darrah, Buxton, on
New Yeers' Eve. 1t was in every respect a
splendid success. The ladies of Hollis and
Buxton combined in this affair, for the benev-
olent object of procuring funds as tribute Of
affection to their minister, the Rev. Mr. Bart
! lett The supper was after the manner of the
ancients, and after the manner of We ancents
the guests deyoureJ the same. Mr.. and Mistress
Grasp, from Saco, dispensed the inequalities
IN truly antique and jovial style. The fes-
tivities comprised an "Old-fashioned We'd
ding" "The Hutchinson Family" (slightly ex-
agserated), "Gipsy Fortune Teller" "Tambo-
rine Girl" and many other amusemepts of
which we cannot speak in detail. The "Wed-
ding" and the Hutchinson Family" were
done to the life. F ANN -zorrff-
The house was densely packed, and the sum
realized amounted to $4,000, after deducting
all expenses.
The ladies who got up this entertainment de-
serve much praise. There was great deal to
be done which would have discouraged those
less ambitious; but what these ladies under
take, we may be sure will always prove sue
cess. 80 YE SCRIBE.
