Letter from Lewiston.

EDITOR JOURNAL: - We were particularly
favored last week with several different kinds of
performances. The first on the programme was
old Boreas He blew so hard here that there is
not a wind-sght left on one of the rifles. The
next was the Pixley show-and sure enough it
was a show-a /" steamboat" was no name for
it. 1t was not near up to their performance
when they played here before. The chief ap-
pauder was old Pixley, and he did it with a
vengeance. We wound up the bill with dance.
! must tell you little incident OF the night e.
There is "A Freach gentleman of Greek extraction
who is fits generally on the balls. He lost his
coat coming here that night-and as "A general
thing there are not many coats here to share.
He was in a dreadful way to get one so peeping
around in the dark, he spied what he thought
was II nice drab- clored one. Not giving any thing
a thought except the dance on went the coat and
away he put up to the hall. Looking around
he noticed everyone haw, having at some
thing. At last he found 1t out. On going to
one of the young ladies to ask her to dance,
- Sir, j." said she, " ! really can't Look at your
coat" You never saw such q chop-failen
homJre in your life, when he took good look at
his coat. The butchers had been packing pork
with it on and boiling lard, until it got so greasy
it actually ran out OF the skrks. lie made Il
grand rush for the door and that was the last we
saw of him that night We have very little
news. Can't you dish up mess of scon. may
or Il case of erin con. with murder or suicide
thrown in for side dish? 1t would take like
hot cakes here. Yes, we could but don't
like to.-Ed. Jour, DR. WooD.
