THOSE HoRsEs.-In our issue of Wednesday
we copied an article from the Advertiser about
the death of some horses in the Eastern r. r.
cars, consequent upon their not being hitched
or fastenedin the car in which they were placed.
We have been requested to state that these
horses were placed in the car on the Boston &
Maine line and the car was received at South
Berwick junction by the P. s. & P. company,
and that the situation of the horses was dis
covered when the car was so received and the
attention of the depot. masters of both roads
was called to.thelmatter at the time. The horses
then were in the same situation as when they
arrived in Portland. but it was thought best to
bring them on to the owner and let him take
such measures as to him seemed proper to in.
1estigate the matter. There is no blame at all
to be attached to the railroad employees on the
Eastern or P. s. & P. roads.

THE RICHINGs TRoUPE.-The entertainment
given by the Richings Opera Troupe at Music
Hall Christmas night was fine one and de-
served much larger share of patronage tina
it received. The selections from the operas Of
s'Martha" and ''1l Trovatore'' were rendered
with taste and great ability. In the miscslla-
neous concert which preceded the opera Miss
Agnes Palmer showed to the best advantage
the qualities of her superb contralto voice in
the singing of ''Esmerelda," while Steward
sons SIN the days when we went gypsying"
met with hearty applause from the audience.
The spinning wheel scene in 'Martha" was adj
mirably rendered, both acting and singing be-
ing remarkably good and the LAST Rose Of
Summer" was given by Mrs. Caroline Richings
Bernard in a very sweet and effective manner
But it was in the closing scene of ''Il Troya
tore that Mrs Bernard showed her best, ant
had the finest opportunity to display the re
sources of her powerful voice. The "1i ScoStd
non respi,agerine," was rendered marvellously
well. Mr.. Glider is brilliant pianist, excelline
in what may be called tours de force. Tbs
troupe labored under the disadvantages of THU
audience and a miserably ill-heated hail. bu
despite all this the entertainment wus grea
success unsteady considered, and worthy

THE MESSIAH. 1t seems scarcely necessary
to remind our readers that Handels grand
oratorio of 'The Messiah" is to be given by
the Haydn Association, at City Hall next Mon
day evening. The oratoro is to be sung entire,
the first time it was ever done in this country,
as it has been customary to omit several very
fine choruses. The soloist talent Is remarka-
bly, fine. the many-voiced chorus brings out
the work in all it's granduer, and the orchestra
is the Germania. What more could be asked?
| Mrs. Burnham makes her first appearance in
oratorio since her return. Another OF the stars,
Mrs. Barry, is said to be one of the very best
Oratorio singers in the country. The Haydns
always carry out successfully what they under
take, and rich musical treat may be expected
| by our citizens. Reserved seats are for sale at
! Stockbridge's.
