there, is wholly untrue. Of course it is. The
affair took place at a Readfeld depot.

should think not, upon the whole.

PAREPA-RosA's CoNcERT-Our readers will
not forget this musical entertainment at CITY
Hail tomorrow evening. 1t is sci ON that the
lovers OF music have such an opportunity to
crafty their tastes as will be afforded them on
this occasion. We know very well, and so do
many of our readers, that Parepa is indeed the
queen of Song" a name she has acquired by
her own merits. We have no disposition to
bespatter her with fulsome praise for she needs
no such plastering, and any attempt in that
direction would be like an effort to paint the
lily and give it additional beauty. Parepa,
both as an artist and woman, is above the
reach of envy or criticism. All freely &C.
knowledge her moral worth and concede to
her great and surprising excellence in the
profession she has chosen for livelihood
When she tells us that Haydn's Creation and
Handlers Messiah contain the music she loves
best, we find no difficulty in approaching her
tlste and commencing her to the good oraces
of the public.
Parepa was born in Edinburgh 1889. Her
mother was Miss Seguin, sister to the great
basso, whom many of us remember well. Her
father was Greek and a noblesse, whose early
death left widow q years old and her infant
Euphosyne an orphan. Because her mother.
an English woman, married the Baron Boyes-
ka, she was deprived, after his death, of heri.
tage or even dowry, and was compelled 20 sing
In public to support herself and orphan child,
Parepa, under the care of her mother, soon ex.
hibited remarkable gifts of voice and language.
speaking fuently five modern languages, Eng
fish. Italian, French, German and Spanish.
In 1855, a mere girl, she made her debut as
Amina, in "Somnambula," and with remark
able success. Since that time her fame has
become worldwide. Her voice is pure So
prano, round, strong, sympathetic, of great
compass and fexibility, and under peculiar
control. Recently it has echoed along the
shores of the Pacific, and its clear, sweet tones
have been heard across the continent, Such
Is the character of Parepa Rosa.
In the concert tomorrow evening she will
be assisted by j. Lew, the greatest cornet
player in the world, by her husband, who takes
high rank as aviolinist, and other accomplished
artists. If this is not combination of must
cal talent sufficient to fill our spacious hall,
then we know not where to find one. We
speak the words Of truth and soberness. Tick
cts for reserved seats may be had at Paine's
music store. Let US give them hearty well
come,

+ A FAITHFUL DoG.-At Fort Preble there is
a large and splendid dog, Of the Newfoundland
species, between whom and the soldiers mu-
tual as well as strong attachment exists. Last
Saturday one of the soldiers came over to the
city, the dog accompanying him. The soldier
imbibed rather too much benzine while here,
and on his way back, in the evening, sank
down in the snow at the Cape end of Portland
bridge, where he would have persisted but for
his faithful cold water companion. The dog,
perceiving the helpless situation of the soldier,
set up such bowling and barking that at
tracted the attention of residents in that vicin
fty, who fastened to the spot and discovered
the soldier in an insensble condition. They
brought him over TO the police station, he be-
ing insensib,e when he arrived there. On
Sunday the soldier, who, by the faithful at
tendance of Mr.. Burnham, at the station, had
entirely recovered, was discharged and he left,
accompanied by his sagacious dumb compan-
ion, to whom he was indebted for his lie.

The FIRE IN BANaoR.-The Bangor Wing
in speaking of the fire that occurred in that
city Frdly night, says it was the most disas-
trous one which has ever occurred in that
city.
It broke out in the grocery store of Messrs.
Conuor & Fuller, No. 50 West Market Square
having apparently originated in or about the
counting room, which was situated in the rear
OF the store. 1t was but moment, as it were,
before the flames had entirely filled the store
SO tnat 1t was entirely impossible to save any
tnlng from the store. Back of the store was
wooden storehouse, one of a number which ex-
tended the whole length of the wharves from
kenduskeag Bridge nearly to the ferry-way.

their combined efforts, the flames continued TO

PORTLAND BAND.-The annual meeting of
the Portland Band was held Saturday evening
at their headquarters, Market Square, and the
following officers We're alected for the present
year: Conductor, d. Fl. Chandler; Leader, j.
Co'e; Secretary and Librarian, D. II. Chard-
Ter; Treasurer, -. Wiley; Managers, o. B.
Webb, Charles Grimmer, e. G. Pencil.
After transacting the business of the meet
ing, the members sat down to handsome sup
per, provided by Messrs Timmons & Halves.
A happy time was enjoyed.
The past year has been the most prosperous
one the Band ever experienced, aud its finan-
cial condition is in excellent order. The mem
bers enter upon the new year with the deter
mination to add to the Band all the modern
mprovements-such as clarinets, trombones,
&c.-and to render it more worthy of the pub
lie patronage than ever before. Our citizens
have always been proud of the Portland Band,
and this year they will take more pride in it
than they ever have

LOOK OUT FOR HIM.-Mr. Edmund Coles,
manager of the so.called Theatre Royal Com
pany, which has been performing the past
week at Deering Hall, took French leave yes
terday afternoon without paying the salaries
of his corps-dramatique or settling his other
debts. We have also heard that he borrowed
forty dollars in goli of one of the actresses,
which act of meanness we can scarcely credit
A manager may be unfortunate without fault
OF his own, but the course Mr.. Coles has pur-
sued is, to say the least, deserving of the Sc
we're condemnation.

A DESERVED TESTIMONIAL OF Respect
DR.. I. A. Foster and wife were surprised and
gratifed, upon their return from their bridal
tour, at being made the recipients of valua-
be silver se.vice from the physicians of Port
land. 1t is worthy of remark that the rela-
tons existing between the members of the
medical profession in this city are singularly
pleasant and harmonious. Those petty jeal-
ousies and chickering's which sometimes mar
the intercourse OF persons devoted to the same
avocation are wholly unknown. The testimo-
NAL to DR.. Foster, who desires to express to
his professional brethren his acknowledgements
for this kindness aid consideration is but one
of many exhibitions of this very creditable
fraternal feeling. We understand that DR..
Foster, who is now boarding temporarily at
the Preble House, may be found as usual at
his Office on Brown street by those desiring to
avail themselves of his services.

HORSE CAUSE.-THE horse cars appeared on
Saturday upon runners. These new cars are
not very handsome to look at, but they are
very roomy and comfortable inside, and dis
pense with conductors. On entering the car
you deposit your ticket, or fare, in glass box
at the end nearest the driver, after the fashion
of the New Orleans horse cars, and which plan
has been found to work with great success in
that CITY. The only difficulty we can see is in
falling to have the exact change and no one in
the car able to accommodate you.
