The verdict of the audience at Gran
lite Hall last evening, on the success of Mrs.
Macready in undertaking to impersonate the
most difficult character of all the immortal
bards creation-''S hy lock"-must certainly
be one of approval. A professional critic might
detect points of weakness or seeming failures
in the portrayal of the servile, crafty, re-
vengeful Shylock, and lack Of masculine
attributes, but the ordinary spectator can
only sit and admire the mastery performance.
We are inclined to the opinion of the Spring
field Republican, after witnessing the repre-
sentation:
Mrs. Macready certainly deserves all the
praise she has received for her impersona-
ton of "Shylock" in the Merchant of Venice.
Wonderful, the word used in the play bills
is perhaps n little too strong to describe it,
but as presented last night, it was at least
remarkable and worthy of commentator.
The character of the old Jew, with all his
avarice, bigotry, intense hate and ungovern-
able rage, was interpreted with the fidelity to
such nature, that was as strong as if it was
original. Mrs. Macreadys rendering of the
part of ''Shyiock" in the dialogues with "Sa-
larino" and "Salanio,' in that with "Tubal,"
where certain news Of the disaster to Anto-
MOS feet is received, and in the final court
scene, were given with power and intensity
not soon to be forgotten, and were received
with well merited applause.
On this evening MASKS and Faces" will
be given, which is pronounced one Of the
best plays upon the boards.

EDITOR DAILY KENNEBEC JOURNAL; Miss

from religious meeting on the evening of
Tuesday, the Goth inst, was very agreeably
surprised to find her house illuminated and
to hear the sound of happy voices and merry
laughter ringing through the halls. On
entering, she was most affee tionately greeted
by multitude of old friends and many
smiling, blooming maidens, who had joined in
the good work of giving and receiving pleas
ure to one, who, though alone, is not alone,
thus verifying the prophecy of the 54th chap
ter of Isaiah. In the paror large number
of useful and beautiful articles were placed,
which proved the good taste and common
sense of the donors. After the greetings
were over, and sufficient examination of the
donated articles by the company, they passed
to the dining room, where daintily spread
disposed os in the usual manner, after an ap-
propriate grace by Rev. E. Martin.
The company preceded by Mr.. M. and Miss

usual happy style, concluding with the wish
that the receiver might not lay them up for
her childrens children; but make them use

While Mr.. Charles II. Davis of Sidney. was
attending meeting on Tuesday evening, leav-
ing his wife and child alone in the house, a
couple of ruffians, entered and ransacked the
house, staving in the doors, and staving
things up generally, and stole about fifty dol
lars in silver and gold which Mr.. Davis had
quite recently brought from California, and
also some valuable papers. Mrs. Davis
heard the men breaking into the house and
escaped out of the back door with her child.
She did not wait for many preliminaries, but
ran, half bare-footed, to the house of her
husbands father, who was the nearest neigh
Dor. At the time the house was entered
gentleman acquainted with the family, was
passing by, and saw two men standing in the
front door talking loudly. He could not mus
ter up courage enough to hold up and ascer-
tain what was the matter, but proceeded on
to the meeting house, almost a mile distant,
to inform Mr.. Davis what was transpiring.
Mr.. Davis and his brother, after returning to
the house and witnessing the work of the
house breakers, started Immediately in pur-
suit of the offenders. They soon came across
two men, more than half drunk, who said,
they had just passed Davis house and some
one was breaking into it. Mr.. Davis went
Immediately to Belgrade where he procured
an officer and had them arrested. They had
probably disposed of their spoils, as none
were found shout them. No doubt exists that
these men are the guilty persons. Their
names are Packard, q miserable, worthless
fellow, living in Sidney, and Haskell, of Bel
grade, another Of the same sort. They had

Inc semi-annual meeting of the State Den
tai Society commenced in Portland, Tuesday
afternoon, Henry j. Leavitt of Skowhegan,
Vice President of the society, In the chair,
with E. j. Roberts of Augusta, as SECRETARY.
The roll was called and thirteen members
answered to their names.
Geo. NJ. Twitchell, Charles p. Sawyer and
0. T. McAllister were elected members of
the Society.
DR.. Haley made a statement in regard to
what is being done to relieve the dentists from
the imposition practiced upon the profession
by Josiah Bacon & Co., who tax $50 or more
per annum for the use of rubber. Goodyears
patents expires in May, while the Cummings
claim extended seved years longer. A case
was decided against the dentists in the Su-
perior Court of New York, and it was pro-
posed to carry it up to the L. S. Court. The
attorney agreed to carry it through for $1,000,
so confident of success that if successful the
profession will agree to pay $4,000. 1t was
proposed by the profession to give mite of
the amount that would go to J. B. & Co., to
make good remuneration, and give notes
subscribing certain sums upon condition of
success. The Society signed to the amount
of $25 90 each which amount will aggregate
the sum of 100000 if paid by all the pro-
fession.
Discussed the subject, How shall the de-
cidious teeth be treated and the year old
molars?
DR.. Haley said that many teeth were neg
lected until too late to save them. DR.. Bacon
thought it was best to put in soft filling
when possible, but when the teeth ached it is
Lest to treat or extract them. DIR. NcAllister
thought if these teeth were extracted contrac.
ton of the jaw would be the result, but if re-
tanned a natural expansion of the jaw would
afford proper room for the permanent set.
DIR. Fillebrown thought that every possible
thing ought to be done to preserve the first
teeth till the permanent are ready to appear;
and SO with the six year old molars but in
the case Of nerve exposure extract the six
year old moar as it had but half and might
produce abcess, while in SO young . subject
the space will close up between. DIR. Lom-
bard said when the first teeth were developed
and the roots filled, that the natural absorp-
ton of roots would not ensue and many times
would form abcesses. DR.. Haley said that
dead teeth ulcerating produced pus; the re-
tanning this would have no effect to expand
tho jaw any more than if extracted; while
the liberation caused waste of tissues and
the pus taken into the circulation acted as
poison.
At the evening session the best treatment
subjects were also discussed, among them the
best kind of rubber to be used as base for
artificial teeth; the dark rubber as used by
the profession, or by the black rubber.
Adjourned to Wednesday.

A Field Day in the Senate.

A Field Day in the Senate.
This has been field day in the Senate
Chamber. Few ladies have visited the Cap
itol during the recent gay season; but this
afternoon, there being no reception, the
bright sunshine attempted hundreds of them
to the Senate to hear the brilliant oratory of
Carl Schurz. The galleries were packed
like fg boxes before the rose to speak and
then the courtesy of Senators admitted ladies
in the cloak rooms, from whence they grad
ually insinuated themselves on the floor until
they were in ma ority there.
The presence Of so many ladies soon at
tracted the more gallant Representatives
from their own deserted hall, and when MIR.
Schurz at last took the floor he had an audi
enee that must have served as powerful in
centive to exertion. Right calamity did he
acknowledge the compliment by dashing into
the arena of debate just as one of the Uhlans
from his own Fatherland must often last
year have charged about in some defenceless
French village, exciting the admiration OF
the girls and receiving the imprecations Of
the old women as he dealt some stupid lout q
rap with the back of his sabre or punctured
the vanity Of another with the point of the
weapon. The war horse which Mr.. Schurz
bestrode was the hackneyed resolution abou,
the sale of arms, but all were so inter ested
in the rider that but little was seen of the
charger, and less was heard of it. His man.
ner was electrifying, his elocution was me-
l)dious, his delivery was earnest, his sarcasm
was scathing, his language was classical, but
those who listened heard no new reasons for
his crusade, no additional arguments, no new
facts, except a letter written in English,
which had been translated into French, and
which Mr.. Schurz translated in his adopted
tongue. 1t was one Of those intellectual re-
pasta that reminds one of dish prepared by
