PORTLAND THEATRE. Although the char
acter of Hamlet has been persOnated by the
leading tragedians of English and American
shool.for generations and its Interpretation
by them has called forth the most extensive
criticism at one time and another, it is impos-
sible that (from the recent great success of Ed
win Booth in the part and the assumption by
Techter of the same character in manner go
foreign to all known precedents) there is no
one of Shakspeare's plays SO fresh in the
public minds to-day. Mr.. MarshalPs is not
exactly that which we should perhaps fully
coincide with, but it is o very finished effort
and we were sorry that, while he had a fair
sized audience at his benefit the house was not
crowded, many probably having been kept
away by the rain. Miss Herring made capt.
tai Ophelia, her voice being very agreeable
and resonant and in the mad scene she was
very touching and impressive. Mrs. Daven-
port was a very excellent Queen, a character
too often sighted. Farwell was very good as
Polonius and the First Grave Digger, Aidrich
and Burns were very satisfactory as Claudius
and Horatio. Tonight is Mr. Marshall and

/, To the Editor OF the Pfess:
am an Odd Fellow, and therefore felt !
| suppose, more pleased at the detection of that
imposter who tried his tricks on Maine Lodge
on Monday evening. rejoice that the lodge
followed him up so sharply. 1t would have
given them much less trouble to have bestowed
upon him trifle and said depart in peace;'
but duty to themselves and others prompted
taken to expose the attempted fraud flor the
benefit of others.
1t was not emily an advantage to Odd Eel
lows, but the city at large. There is quite a
number of imposteIs on various pretences at
work on the public all the time. These Jere-
my bidders say, "the world owes us iv!ng
and we mean to have one.' Some OF them, IL
IS obvious, get better one than honest men ny
their dishonest acts Now, if it be found that
Portland is poor forsgng ground, that its cltl-
zeps are sharp even to suspicion, when an az
tempt is made to play upon their sympathy,
this city will be avoided by these worthless.
This fellow touched on two strings, both of
which gave a discordant sound. One was the
soldiers and the other the Odd Fellows-two
quite sympathetic organizations. They shud-
der at the idea of any member of theirs suffer-
ing by neglect s. this Densmore knew. Tho
soldiers found him faulty in his military cate
chism. The Odd Fellows saw he was we'll up
in his lesson, obtained no doubt'wbile in good
standing in lodge, from which he had proba-
bly, been expelled. With many things in his
favor, the lodge still said, 'imposters are fire.

"a years. Sister Town was one Of the
real mothers in Israel, and one of the pill.
lars in the Elmore church. She was con-
verified to God at the early age Of 90 years,
and united with the M. Z. church, Of
which she was true and faithful MEM
Der, during the full period Of SO years, till
she was transplanted from the church
militant to the church triumphant. She
was member of the first class formed in
Gilmore. In seasons of revival and during
special effort for the salvation of souls,
she was always an efficient worker in the
vineyard of the Lord, and to-day she
leaves an influence behind which causes
her name to be frequently mentioned in
the classroom and in other social means
of grace. Hers was life of deep-toned
piety, exhibiting all the graces of the de-
voted Christian. During the latter years
OF her life affection has always had the
effect Of partially .deranging her mind,
which was also the case in her last i'll
ness. About an hour before she died,
however, sheIwas quite rational and testi-
fed to those around her of her willingness
to die and trust all in the hands of the
Lord, and though she enjoyed not those
ecstacies in the dying hour which are fire.
quently experienced by others, not a
doubt remains upon the mind of any per-
son acquainted with her holy and devoted
life, but hers was happy exit from time
to blissful Immortality. ..-....e
Sister Town was daughter OF the late
Jonathan Sherman of Barre, and sister OF
the late Col Sherman of Plainfeld, and
also of theIlate Smith Sherman, Esq, of
Castleton, both Of whom have passed away
during the past year, within four days of
each other, aged respectively 81 and rs.
There are two brothers still living, Alcott
Sherman, Esq, of Poultney, and Lycur-
gus Sherman of Chicago, Illinois; and
three sisters, Mrs. Pauline Buck and Mrs.
L. Van Dyke of Illinois, and Mrs. Loanthe

4 YER'S CHERRY PICTORIAL,
a
FOR DISEASES OF THE THROAT AMI
LUNGS, SUCH AS COUGHS, COLDS,
WHOOPING COUGH, BRON-
CHITIS, ASTHMA, AND
CONSUMPTION.

Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything woa so widely and 50
deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints
Through long series of years, and among most
of the races of men it has risen higher and higher
in their estimation, as it has become better
known. Its uniform character and power to cure
the various affections of the lungs and throat,
have made it known as a reliable protector
against them. While adapted to milder forms
of disease and TO young children, it is at the
same time the most effectual remedy that can be
given for incipient consumption, and the dam
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. As a
provision against sudden attacks Of Group, it
should be kept on hand in every family, and In
deed as all are sometimes subject TO colds and
coughs, all should be provided with this antidote
for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
durable, still grear numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
by the Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mas
terry over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat,
that the most obstinate of them yield to it. When
nothing else could reach them, under the Cherry
Pectoral they subside and disappear
Singers and Public Speakers find great protec-
ton from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
For Cough and Cold, no better remedy can
be had. Take small doses three times day and
put the feet in warm water at night, until the
disease is broken up.
For Influenza, when it affects the throat or
lungs, take the same course.
For WhOoPing Cough, give small doses three
or four times a day.
For Group, give large and frequent doses until
the disease is overcome.
No family should be without the Cherry Pecto-
raj on hand to protect them, in case of attack,
from the above complaints. Its timely use often
spares the patient great amount of suffering
and risk, which he would incur by waiting until
he could get other aid. Parents, keep ii in your
houses for the exigencies that arise. Lives dear
to you may be saved by it.
So generally are its virtues known, that we
need not publish certificates of them here, or do
more than assure the public that the best quail
ties 1t ever possessed are strictly maintained

Murder and Suicide.

=# PROVIDENCE, Feb. 81.
This morning a man named Rounds
went into the Office of DIR. J. J. Crispen
and shot him twice with a pistol, one ball
taking effect in his leg and the other in his
head. The wounds are not believed to be
dangerous. Rounds alleges that Crispen
poisoned his wife. 1t is thought he is
insane. ....
In Fall River, last night, VIM. Booth,
an Englishman, returned home intoxi-
Gated, and commenced beating his mother,
who kept house for him. She screamed
for assistance, and her son Thomas, who
with his family occupied an adjoining
tenement, rushed in and caused his broth
er to desist, and then returned to his own
tenement and closed the door William
then took up loaded rifle, placed cap
on it and fred at the door. The ball
passed through and lodged in the neck of
Thomas, killing him instantly. William
then drank bottle of poison, and died
in six hours. William leaves a son thir-
teen years old, and Thomas widow and
two children.
