PORTLAND THEATRE.-On looking over the
bill OF performances at the Theatre Tonight
we see that the company is, as we supposed, a
variety company. There are two light pieces,
one a comedietta and the other farce, with
dancing, singing and acrobatic performances
nterspersed, the entertainment concluding
with pantomime. Such performances we
have often thought would pay we'll in this city.
They do not pretend to the dignity of the le-
Ultimate drama, but they are very entertaining
when the performers are good in their several
specialtes, and prove very taking with all who
seek the theatre merely as place of amuse.
ment Of the several actors and actresses we
are only acquainted with tie names of Miss
Jennie Kimball, Mr.. William Scalan and La
petite Corinne, who are we'll known 10 the
theatre-goers of this city. The house will no
doubt be crowded and the venture of the man
ayers prove success.

of McAllister and Littlefeld corner of Smith
and Cumberland streets, was entered by bur-
glars. The burglary was first discovered by
Mr.. Charles McAllister. who entered the store
about six o'clock Saturday morning and struck
a light when he noticed that three of the
drawers back of the center were open. On
further investigation he discovered the money
drawer lying on the floor right side up with
about two dollars in nickels, which had been
left in it the night previous, undisturbed. A
box of tobacco valued at thirty dollars had
been taken. and another one just like it had
been left. The store was entered by breaking
