sagadahoc County Fair.

stock at the Sagadahoc Comfy Show and Fair,

there will be trotting on the trotting course.

Observation-Disclosures
SKowHEGAN, Oct 9.-The weather has been
fine during the second day of the Maine Farm
ers Convention. The principal question dis
cussed and upon which essays have been read,
is whether the changes in our farm practices
within the past twenty years correspond to the
changes in the circumstances and conditions
under which agriculture is pursued. During
the noon intermission the company of Cadets,
composed of the students of the Industrial
College, gave public parade and drill, elicit
ing much applause and satisfaction at their
soldierly bearing and skillful evolutions, cspe-
cially in the silent drill.

THE AFRICAN M. E. CHURcH-Most of our
citizens are aware that the colored Methodist
Society on Mountfort street have for number
ofyears been struggling against great difficult
ties to establish themselves permanently among
our churches. They have, at great personal
sacrifice, constructed and now occupy modest
and unpretending edifice. but it has been the
subject of litigation and there lies hanging over
the society heavy debt, Three Thousand dol
lars of the debt has been extinguished; yet
there remains sixteen hundred dollars due. on
which an extension of one year has been OBJ
tanned. Two gentlemen of this city have con-
tributed $3.50 to this amount, leaving balance
of $3.50 to be provided for. The society ap-
peal to the benevolent people of Portland for
aid. They are deserving of it for they have la
bored increasingly to extricate themselves from
trouble; and aside from the burden of the debt,
they are able to sustain regular services Con-
tributions sent to the pastor of the church,
Rev. j. H. Madison, will be faithfully applied
to the purpose stated.

Ma. BoorH's SHYLocK Mr. Booth means
to give his Portland friends, SO far as the limits
of his engagement will permit, an illustration
of the different passions of human nature. After
Hamlet, Sir Edward Mortimer, Shylock came
into the programme almost unconsciously; and
Avarice was never more strongly personified
than it is by Mr.. Booth. To compare his act
ing with the men who usually attempt the part
on our stage would be ridiculous, for Mr.
Booths conception is different from any actors
whom we have seen, requiring more action,
while he avoids tearing the passion to tatters.
In the trial scene Mr.. Booth stood alone. His
support was not up to the requirements of the
occasion. Miss Champion mouthed Portals
plea badly, and her manner OF reading was ex
ceedingly faulty. 1t detracted from the charm
of the scene. Mr.. Stark, as Antonio, was very
good, and Mr.. Bangs as Gratiano showed him
self to good advantage Mr.. Pateman, as
Launcclot, made very good comedian. To
night the musical play of Don Caesar de Bazan
will be presented An early application to the
box office for seats will undoubtedly be neces-
sarv
