PRINCES ExrREss.-This favorite express
company, which has been running for twenty
one years, changes its location to-day and will
be located for the future at SO Exchange St.,
where the facilities are much greater for their
extensive business, which reaches to all points
South and West, than their former quarters
Mr. Prince is a man who is thoroughly identi-
fled with the express business in this city, and
we trust that the same success that has at.
tended all his efforts in the past will be con-
tipued in the future.

The MISSION OF THE FAIRIES. charm

THE MISSION OF THE FAIRIEs.-This charm
ing fairy spectacle, which created SO much en-
thusiasm last Spring, will be again presented
by the First Universalist Society on Wednes-
day next, the sixth of October. There is an
irresistible charm about these spectacles which
have been brought out from time to time by
several of the religious societies of the city, and
the effect they produce upon the youthful
mind is a most healthful one. They present to
children the happiness which results from
obedience, love, charity and all the virtues,
and the misery entailed by selfishness, dssipa-
ton and disobedience. Children are easily
impressed through the senses, where words
and books fail, and we therefore think that too
much praise cannot be bestowed upon those
who devote so much of their time to cultivate
among the young all those virtues which will
render them useful, and christian, men and
women.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT INDIANA STATE FAIR.
INDIANAPoLIs, Oct. IA terrible accident
occurred at the State Fair this afternoon. The
boiler of Tinker & Co. of this city exploded a
few minutes before 4 o'clock There was an
immense crowd on the ground at the time and
it is difficult to get the particulars. 1t is known
that twelve persons were instantly killed and
the number wounded will probably reach a
hundred.
Later.-The accident on the Fair grounds
this afternoon was the most heartrending that
has ever occurred in this vicinity, and has cast
GLOOM over the entire city. The explosion
was at clock, the grounds being crowded.
The boiler was attached to saw mill of Messrs
Senker & 90. of this city, and had just been
fired up for test with another machine, and
arrangements had been made to take it up as
soon as the trial was over. AS far as ascer-
tanned nineteen persons were killed. The ex-
citement and confusion is so great that it is
difficult to ascertain correct list of the
wounded, which will be nearly thousand.

HAGER's ALLEGoRY.- we were
very much delighted with the first performance
OF the Allegory of our Country, yet there were
many little points which naturally escape the
observer on first representation, and several
more important ones also. Then again there
are necessarily one or two bitches which occur
before the performers get thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the stage business, and with the exotic
ment of acting before large audience, al
though we cannot remember among amateurs,
and only in few cases among professionals, AN
occasion where all things worked as smoothly
as they did on Thursday evening.
But last night every thing was as near pei
feet as an affair of the kind could be-. Just
think of what capability there must be in Mr.
Hager for drilling raw recruits, and that too so
large in number, on stage deprived of all the
usual appur tenances that 60 so far to give
effect to spectacle, and yet be able to present
an entertainment that fairly carried away an
audience with delight. And think too how
nice discrimination Miss Peters must have
had to select and induce those young ladies and
gentlemen to take part, upon whose dramatic
and vocal powers the great success of per-
Torrance of this nature hangs
Again last night did the Goddess of Liberty
so gracefully personifed by one Of the young
ladies-rejoice at the allegiance OF States
pledged to freedom, truth and justice; with
dignity did she rebuke the seceders; with
pathos mourn over the dissensions that were
destroying the country; and with joy hail the
return of peace. Truth and Justice also found
most able opponents in two beautiful young
ladies, whose Ducts were sweetly rendered.
The marching and counter marching of the
Union Soldiers, the ludicrous drill of the Black
Brigade, and the comical appearance of Sher-
mans Bummers, laden with the spoils of war,
called. forth the hearty laughter of the audi
ence.
It may be treason to say it but we felt as if
Tirginia was pardonable in going over to the
rebels when we gazed upon the faces of the
seeding States And how we'll did the i'm
portant States of Massachusetts,, South Caro-
lima, Vermont, Ohio and New York, remember
their long parts as also did Liberty ON whom
falls the weight of the dialogue.
The music throughout is very taking, and
the national airs sung by such excellent solo
performers, and such fine chorus, stir up a
responsive chord in every patriotic breast
while the sweet air of "Belle Brandon" only
completes the fascination thrown around you
by the appearance of the fair rebels.
We would compliment Miss Hager again
upon the excellent musical drilling she has be-
slowed on her apt pupils and upon the manner
IN which, singly and alone, she makes her
grand piano do duty for a full orchestra.
We are heartily glad that the performances
have been such a complete triumph, and that
the fatherless and motherless will receive a
substantial return for the charming enter tain
ments they have been instrumental in present.
ing to the citizens of Portland. We shall glad
ly welcome Mr. and Miss Hager again to our
city, for we shall feel confident that what they
offer is worthy the hearty support of US ALL
