pO 5e5sed great deal OF merit and secured abun-
nant applause ana several calls before the curtain.
1t was far from perfect, however and was marked
by some OF the ady's worst faults OF style. In the
tempestuous of the last three acts Mrs. SID
dons did little more than attituduiZe and rant, and
she appeared TO be utterly Incapable OF expressing
strong emotion without shouting with all the power
OF her lungs Now, the part uf Julia" is not one TO

ance was marked by a hle woman!y feeling, and
many OF the best points in the play realized in
a very telling manner.
Mr.. w. s. FredercSs was very heartily greeted
by he audience when he made his appearance as
''Master Waiter" ana he gave, as might have been
expected from an actor of his ability aud experience
an intelligent and artistic presentation OF the char

"Helen," possesses the advantage OF
an engaging personal appearance and
q lively, animated style that in the scenes with
'MOdus" especially made most favorable impress
sion on the audience. The "MOdus" OF Mr.. Daven-
port was al admirable bit Of acting, the small and
com larsttveiy unimportant character being made
one OF the chief attractions Of the piece by the
artistic manner in which it was represented. Mr..
Charles Thoruc's "Sir Thomas Clifford" was un-
even, and it frequently lacked animation where ami
nation was needed. Portions OF it, however, we're
well done, and the performance altogether tended
TO confirm the favorable impression made by Mir.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. II, 1870.
At meeting OF the Board of Directors of the
Union League of Philadelphia, held Tuesday eve
ming, December 10, 1870 the following preamble
and resolutions were unanimously adopted
Whereas, The Republican Convention OF the
First Senatorial district of Pennsylvania has nOmi-
mated JOSEPH X. LGNDAIL, a lifelong resident
of the district, as candidate for the Office OF State
senator to i'll the vacancy occasiOned by the death
OF Mr.. Natt 9nd
Whereas Mr. IYNDALL, while in the Office of
the people, proved himself to be one OF the most
faithful and conscientious of our public servants,
in all the relations of private life is universally
acknowledged to be a just and upright man. and
Whereas, We regard it as a public duty where
honest competent, and tnCOrrup tibe men of sound
political principles presented TO the people for
positions of public trust to manifest our approval
of such nominations by suitable Efforts to promote
their election therefore
Resolved, That this Board heartily approves the
nomination Of JOSEPH X. LINDALL as caudi
date for the ONCE OF State senator for the First
Senatorial District and does most earnestly recon.
mend him to the support and confidence of the indie
pendent voters OF the district
Resolved, That we invite public attention to the
fact that the political character or the Senate will
dep nd upon the result of tue special election to be
held on TUESDAY next; because the Senator then
elected may control by his vote the action OF the
legislature: and il is therefore Important that such
a power should not be conferred upon The Demo-
cratic party, which, as believe, is perSStentiy
hostile now as fl has ever been TO the advance OF
society and the highest interests Of the working
classes.
Resolved, That the Secretary be instructed TO
make publication OF the above preamble and rcso-
lutiOns
by order OF he Board OF Directors.

FROM PORTLAND.

PORTLAND, Nov. l6.
The hearing of the Railroad Consolidation
case was continued all day.
The arrival of the steamer Chase, due
from Halifax on Monday, has created SO
much anxiety that the "New Brunswick" is
to go in search of her tomorrow morning.
Tuesday night schooner Albert, Capt. Ma
louey, and schooner Oregon collided off Port
land light. The Albert had her port bow
badly stove in, and received other damages.
She filled with water, but being lumber laden
did not sink. The Oregon lost a jiboom and
some fore rigging. Both schooners were
lowed into the harbor to-day. The Albert
was from ST. Andrews, n. b., for Boston, and
the Oregon from Boston to Rockland.
Nothing had been heard of the steamer
Chase, OF the Halifax line, up to midnight to-
night.

Teachers' Institute.

The sessions of the Teachers Institute for
Kennebec County began at Meonian Hall,
Monday afternoon, agreeably to the notice
which had been previously given. The Con-
ductor of the Institute is Prof. +. A. Allen,
of Pennsylvania, veteran and most success
full worker in the field of common school ed
ucation. He is assisted by Prot. j. S. Wood
man who was formerly Professor of Mathe-
matics in Dartmouth College, but has for
many years had charge of Drawing in the
Chandler Scientific School, connected with
Dartmouth College. During the sessions of
the Institute he will give instruction in Free
hand Drawing, branch of study which will
probably be required to be taught before long
in the public schools of this State, as already
required in some other States. Prof. Allen
is also assisted by c. b. Stetson, Supervisor
of Androscoggin County. All the exercises
of the Institute are open to the public. Par
ents are especially urged to attend. The fore
noon session begins at o'clock; the after
noon session at 2 o'clock; the evening ses-
sion at Z o'clock. Each evening of the In
stitute, which continues until Friday night,
there will be an address, beginning at
o'clock, and without charge. The first hour
of the evening session is devoted to the call
ing of the roll, with sentiments" in response,
and to the discussion of questions from the
Query Box.
On Monday afternoon the Institute was or
ganized, and Prof. Allen gave an address on
tha thaory opd proctira If taacbipU
On Tuesday forenoon Prof. Allen gave
lesson on the course of study, and also one
on primary arithmetic. Prof Woodman gave
his first exercise on the elements of freehand
drawing, embracing positions, directions,
and divisions" In conducting these exercises
he used dots and crosses and explained the
proper method of conducting the exercise by
training the hand and the eye. The exercises
concluded with spelling.
In the afternoon Prof. ID. M. Watt of the
Dirigo Business College, Augusta, gave a
lesson on the elements of writing, after which
Prof. Allen took up the subject of elementary
grammar. His first point was to teach chill
dren to converse; second, the correction of
false syntax in the school room and play
yard; third, to require written requests in
the school room, explaining the method of
conducting them; fourth, oral composition,
in which the pupil is required to produce the
facts of that which is recited; fifth, written
compositions describing pupils in school and
places and people with which the children are
acquainted, and concluding with the subject
of letter writing

Free Hand Drawing.

Here is something that every man who
works with tools greatly needs. Free hand
drawing has for its object the training Of the
eye to see correctly. Heretofore our schools
have only attempted to educate the brain;
they have wholly neglected the hand and eye.
without the training of which there can be no
successful execution. We observe that the
agents and master mechanics of the various
manufacturing corporations in Lewiston issued
a circular advising all mechanics and manu-
facturers who could do so, to attend the lee
lures on free hand drawing, given by Prof.
Woodman at the Teachers Institute which
was held in that city last week. Many did as
they were advised.
There can be no question that every per-
son, especially one who works with tools.
would be greatly profited, in dollars and
cents, by thorough drillin free drawing, such
as Prof. Woodman has only time to indicate
in the Institute. 1t lies at the basis of all the
most successful mechanical drawing and de-
signing; and even if one neither designs nor
draws, he can. if trained in free drawing, a
all children may be, learn to use tools in
much less time and to use them better.
Prof. Woodlands exercise come at III
O'Clock in the forenoon at the Teachers In
stitute now being held in Meonian Hall.

Supreme Judicial Court.

No. 303, Joseph Chandler vs.. George
Mosher, was tried yesterday forenoon. The
action is brought upon witnessed note Of
hand given nearly Is years ago. The de-
fence, supported by the deft's affidavit as re-
quired by the rules of court, and by his testi-
mony on the stand, was that he never signed
the note. But after hearing the whole case
the jury thought he must have forgotten the
fact. and they gave the ptf. verdict for the
amount of the note and interest. Bean for
ptf., Titcomb for def.
No case ready in the afternoon, and the
court adjourned to nine o'clock this morning.
