The idea is new; but II strikes us asyery

would be that the legislators, knowing the

CORRUPT legislation would be curtailed.
The discriminating veto in the hands OF

THEATRE.-After an absence of several weeks
Messrs. Myers & Huntley's theatrical company
began short season at Music Hall last even
ing On account of the severely cold weather
the audience was small, but this did not affect
the character of the entertainments The drama
of Little Barefoot is purely emotional in char
acter, and free from the improbable scenes and
incidents so common in the more sensational
dramas. Miss Fanny Herring as Amy, sus-
tanned the character to perfection, and sustain
ed the reputation which she had previously
gained in this city. Mr.. j. III. Huntley as Will
liam Peace, appeared to great advantage, and
the remaining characters were well produced.
This afternoon grand matinee will be given,
at which three fayorite pieces will be presented
The Happy Shoemaker, Why Don't She Marry
and The Brigand's Son. In the evening the
Cabin Boy, the Rough Diamond and Jenny
Lind, will be the attraction. Miss Fanny Her.
ring will appear in all these pieces. Friday
evening is set apart for the benefit of Mr.. j. c.
Myers, when mammoth bill will be present
ed. The famous Warren Sisters will appear in
their double clog and in other performances.
The third, fourth and fifth acts of the Ticket of
Leave Man, the comedy of Jenny Lind, and
the farce of Kiss in the Dark, will comprise
the programme.

CLOSE OF RIVER NAVIGATION.
BATH, Nov. 29.-The weather for the last two
days has been unusually severe for the season.
The mercury at p. m. was 80 above Zero wind
northwest and clear. Steamer Star of the East
encountered much ice to-day, but succeeded in
reaching Gardiner at noon, where she landed
one of the largest freghts ever carried up the
river and Immediately made her way back to
this city, which will be her terminus hereafter
during the winter. The steamer Sasasona from
Boothbay was stopped by the ice at Arrowisc
Bridge, the river above having closed hard and
fast. A boat Oh this line is to run during the
winter from Botthbay to Wiscasset and con-
meet with the Knox & Lincoln railroad.

The POULTRY MARKET.--Early yesterday
morning every market man living within trad
ing distance of Portland started for town with
his load of poultry, thinking the extreme cold
would keep everybody else at home, and he
could have the benefit of high prices. But he
found at least ninety-nine wagons loaded like
his own in and around Market street, and this
combination had a tendency to ease the prices
of the day before. The supply of poultry was
liberal and the quality brought by wagons was
good. That received by cars was gen
orally classed ordinary and sold low The rul-
ing price of turkeys at the wagons was 20 cents
a pound in the morning, and extra nice ones
were held at % 25c; chickens Is lie; ordin-
airy 12c; ducks % 25c; geese II zoe. After
Drawing the cold until the sun went downward
the market-men eased off their prices two or
three cents, and towards sunset lots were bought
by dealers at 14c for turkeys. There was con-
lot of poultry left over for to-day
The receipts probably will be lighter to-day,
which will give dealers who bought on specula-
ton margin for profits.
