THrArRE.-Mr. Buchanan and his daughter

THEATRE.-Mr. Buchanan and his daughter
appeared last night in their respective roles of
Hamlet and Ophelia. As there seems to be q
great diversity of opinion among those who
have seen Mr.. Buchanan in regard to his act
ing, we can only say to the public that the best
way to judge is by seeing for themselves
While Mr.. Buchanan and many of the papers,
as well as the people, claim that his imperson-
ations are very fne-and that Mr.. Forrest and
himself are the only living opponents of the
old school-there are also many others who
will not admit comparison with Forrest, and
who are not admirers of Forrest himself; who
do not accept Buchanan's Interpretation of
many passages, and especially his exaggerated
style las it seems to them) of acting. Still
every one has his own opinion on these mat
tiers, and therefore those who desire to test the
cTitiques had better go to Deering Hall. This
afternoon grand matinee on which occasion
sUncle Toms Cabin" will be performed. In
the evening "Pizarro" and "Ten Nights in a
Bar Room" Tomorrow night benefit of Miss
Virginia Buchanan who viii appear as Desde-
mona in "Othello."

Faunee ON Monday arrested man calling
himself LETTERS, who has been about town for
a week past pretending to be the agent of a
tobacco dealing firm, and selling superior CT
CARS and tobacco at much lower rates than
their value. Learning from Portland that
several government stores had been robbed
lately, and large quantities of cigars and to-
bacco stolen therefrom, Capt. Faunce tele-
graphed at once for Marshal Head of that
city, who came up on the morning train. Mr.
Head at once recognized the man as an Old
offender who had been out of jail only about
three weeks, and taking him in charge return
ed to Portland on the noon train. The stolen
goods sold in this city were recovered and re-
turned to Portland at the same time.
The Journal says between Saturday night
and Monday morning some burglars entered
the bookstore of E. p. Fuller, Auburn, by
breaking pane of glass in the basement and
raising the window. They then broke open
the cellar door and effected an entrance to the
store. They ransacked the money drawers OF
Mr.. Fuller and w. II Wiggin, who does BUSH
ness in one half the store, and pocketed $15 or
500 worth of pocket knives and wallets be-
longing to Mr.. Fuller. The total value OF
their plumber was perhaps worth $25 to $50

the appointment of Clerk in the State Pension
office, to fill the place made vacant by the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Walker to another position.
Mr.. Page has been employed as Clerk in the

of N. A Foster. of your city. While Mr., Fos-
ter was a member Of the Legislature he made
many warm friends in this community, and he
has left here circle to mourn his loss, A strong
element of his character was his reliability; he
was never reckoned on both sides of ques-
ton, and consequently was not the prey of the
lobby. As a Legislator he was conscientious
to nrinciple. He was not debater, but when
ever question arose which involved the rights
of the Iaborer or the oppressed his voice was
always heard on the side of justice and human
ity. To him the path of duty seemed plain;
and he persistently pursued it, His death is
public loss as well as a private athiction.
