TuEATRE.-Music Hall was filled with
large audience again on Saturday evening, and
the entertainment drew forth frequent and
hearty demonstrations of applause. The ara
ma OF the Murder at Manchester is one of an
extreme sensational character, possessing no
intrinsic merit in itself, but sffording an ex-
cellent opportunity for Miss FANNY Herring to
display her talent for pantomc acting 10 great
advantage. Her impersonation of the charac-
ter of Tom, the dumb boy, was admirable in
every particular, especially in the scenes where
the dumb boy discovers the murderer in the
act of striking his second victim, and his SUBJ
se9uent terrible struggle with the assassin;
and also in the scene in the last act where he
relates to the chief justice the manner in which
the crime was committed, she displayed pow
er and pathos which fairly enchaiued the audi
ence and elected the heartiest demonstrations
of applause. In this connection we trust that
Miss Herring will produce dcring her present
engagement, the exceedingly humorous come
dietta of Stage Struck, as the admirable man
ner in which it was presented about year
since still fingers pleasantly in our memory
Miss Minnie Gray, as Jane Wilton, displayed
talents which we had scarcely given her the
credit of possessing. Her acting in the scene
in the last act where she pleads for her broth
er's life, and protests his innocence, was pow
erful and pathetic The farce of John Wopps
Kept the audience in the best of humor, and
Mr.. George W. Shields as Wopps, proved him
self to be an excellent low comedian.
The violin solo by Prot. Muller, was as usual
received with an enthusiastic encore, aud the
imi'auons OF the various domestic animals,
was TOO much for the gallery, which was fairly
uproarious in applause. We trust that Mr..
Myers will make his appearance at a very early

SUDDEN DEATH.-Frday evening Mr.. Ed
ward c. Haskell, son of Samuel Haskell, Esq,
of Cape Elizabeth, a young man ahont q years
of age, went to a store near the depot to do an
errand for his sister. Here he met an ac-
quaintance and was persuaded to 60 to another
store near the Kerosene Works. From there
they vent to place in the vicinity where
drink is sold, and HaskelPs companion called
for ale. Haskell eclned to drink, saying he
did not feel very well. He did, however,
drink about half the contents Of his glass. At
ter spending some time at different places in
the neighborhood it was proposed, about 10
o'clock, 10 go home. Haskell got into the
wagon, and his companion, who followed him
a few minutes later, found him fallen forward
in an epileptic fit. He was taken into the
store aad from thence to a shed, where bed
was made for him on the hay and he was COW
cred up, in the expectation that he would soon
recover and return home, as he had long been
subject to such attacks. When they went to
the store in the morning he was found dead.
He had just passed away, as his body was
warm. The first intimaton his parents had of
the sad event was the reception of his body at
the door. Coroner Hall was called in the at
ternoon, and after informing himself of the
circumstances decided that an inquest was I'M
necessary. Young Haskell has been for 9
number of years salesman at Kendall & Whit.
ney's agricultural war ehouse in this city.

AN ATTRACTIVE PLACE FOR LADIEs-The
Far CONFESS in the nick of time for the ladies,
especially those who make visits to the city
whenever some event of more than ordinary
importance is Transporting. The Fair will at
tract great many, who after looking over the
the pretty things in the hall displayed for their
qualification. will very naturally extend their
visits to the stores; and more particularly now,
as this is the season when the female mind is
intent upon becoming dresses, tasty hats and
snowy goods for the fall and winter We can
confidently direct such to the splendid stores
of Mrs. M. A. Bosworth, on Middle and Ex-
change streets. This lady is one of the most
accomplished and popular in her line of trade,
and many pronounce her taste in matters of
dress uuexceptionable. At any rate it is worth
ones while to visit her large establishments if
only to enjoy the lavish display of beautiful
goods, embracing all the richest and most de-
sirable things in the market. The prices will
be found verv reasonable, we can assure our
readers, and the attendants are very obliging
and painstaking, ready to give customers in
formation and assist them in making selections.
