thing down. But the thin plated door was
an unlucky thing for their success. The
threads of the screws inserted were so
slight that they evidently would not sus-
tain the force applied, which must have
been considerable as the bulge about the
holes would seem to indicate. Had they
succeeded however, in opening this door,
more and still greater obstacles awaited
them; but failing to do this, they were
obliged to give it up as a bad job without
having accomplished twentieth part oil
the work essential to their success. AS ii
was, they got nothing whatever. They
may have been lacking in sufficient time,
or as there was a party in some part Of

driving into the village as late as two OF

belle, carried her part admirably, and
proved that woman could be dumb for
while at least, even if it did create high
pressure of steam. ii. w. EATON, as
/" Vivian F" also handsomely sustained the
other principal character in this play. N.
w. Wood as O'Smirk of the "Queen's
own 4" was true Irish, frequently exciting
the house to a roar. Miss Hattie PUT
NAM, as Mary" succeeded in keeping up
the strategy between the Dumb Belle and
her cidecam lover. A charm in this farce
was song in sweet, clear, soprano voice
from a hidden source, which we afterwards
learned 10 be by Miss M. A. Sprague.
Nor would we omit Mr.. A. S. HAYWARD,
in this play as "James" the gardener,
and as" Farmer Gates in the Drunkard,
in both of which he bore himself in
manner highly creditable. Other actors
performed their parts equally well but we
have not their names at hand.
The whole exhibition was splendid
success. Their fine, artistic scenery of
course aided much in the effect. We will
only allude to one, that of the scene repre-
senting Mrs. Middleton in the Attic, ply
ing the needle to keep herself and child
from starvation, in which the old timbers,
the windows, dim light, &C., and her
furnishing child on a cot upon the floor
made scene Of true pathos, afterwards
turned with scathing effect upon old
Lawyer Cribs"
In conclusion if any one thinks we have
been extravagant in the above, we can
only say it is not as much so as was the
impression we received during the exhibit
ton, and we can but congratulate the
Chester Dramatic Association upon their
brilliant success, and if they ever give
another, may we be there to see."

'RoBBER FoILED-The Passport (Me.)
Sentenel says that one day last week, while
at Machias, man named Sanders saw
person named Bissell, a pedler, counting
his money, amounting to about $1,000.
Finding that Bissel was about to proceed
TO Lubec, Sanders went on in advance and
secreted himself in the bushes alongside
the road somewhere between Machias and
Lubec. When Mr.. Bissell rode along,
Sanders jumped from his hiding place and
seized the reins with one hand while in
the other he held pistol aimed at Mr..
Bisselrs head, demanding his money or
his life" Putting his hand into his pock-
ct as il to hand over the money, Bissell
withdrew it with revolver and shot San
ders in both wrists. The wounds were
quite severe, making it necessary to have
one hand amputaied, and the other will be
useless hereafter.
