THEATRE.-Music Hall was well filled Oh
Saturday evening, and the performance gave
good satisfaction. The beautiful pastoral dra.
ma of DORA" appeals strongly to the fine1
sensibilities of our nature, and teaches a pure
and healthy lesson. Miss Flora Myers as "Do-
ra," rendered the character with grace and dra.
matte power. The Farmer Allen of Mr.
Walter Purcell, was splendid piece of acting,
perfect in all its details, while Miss Edwina
Grey as MARY Morrison" was equally good
In the farce of Barney, the Baron" Mr.. G. A.
Hill as Barney" kept the audience in con-
tinual roar of laughter by his admirable imper-
senation of the 'Irish Baron" The company
start to-day for st. John, N. B., and will return
early in the month of February

BY w. Il. Walker, VI, ID,

from the Medical Record of November 1st 1871
Having been requested to state what know
therapeutically of Kennedy's Concentrated Ex-
tract of Pnus Canadensis, and Furthermore be-
ing requested to send it for publication in the
columns of your journal, I beg leave briefly to
tax your patience and generosity.
For the past six months l have used this ex-
tract in many cases affecting the mucous menu
branes, and in almost every case it has given
entire satisfaction. In abrasion of the os and
cervex uteri, when applied in its full strength
by means of pledget of cotton, have found
1t far more satisfactory than tannin or iodine
In endometritis it has proved equally satisfac-
tory. have used it with perfect success in
acute and chronic vagnitis, by applying it in
its full strength every other day. have also
used it in several cases of gonorrhea, and must
say that vastly prefer it to the Wanted rem
edy of clafet and tannin.
1t is certainly most valuable astrngent and
tonic; and doubt not that it will very soon
nave its place in our Materia Medica

UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO ROB A SAVING
BANK AT GREAT FALLS.

BANK AT GREAT FALLS.
GREAT FALLS, Jan. 13-An unsuccessful at
tempt was made last night to rob the Great
Falls National and Savings Bank. An entrance
to the building was made through window
which is accessible by an alley leading from
| Prospect street, between the bank building and
| DIR. Elliotts office. From the room they first
entered, which is used as Directors room,
three wooden doors leading to the banking room
were pressed open.
The first operation seems to have been to cut
away the brick work ON the front of the vault
until they reached heavy granite WALL the
lining of the vault, which was too hard for
Them Then two heavy jacks were applied to
spread apart the walls on either side of the iron
doors. By the aid of wedges the first door was
opened. The second door, which is made of
steel, with combination locks, was untouched,
and it is doubtful if the rogues could have brok-
en- it, as they are evidently not experts; much
less could they have reached the valuables in
the steel chest within. They evidently left in
haste, as their curtains and tools, consisting of
the two jacks mentioned, heavy bar, wedges,
pliers and tongs and heavy sledge, were left
behind. 1t is said a clue is in the hands of the
police.
MORE ABOUT THE BURGLAR.
| PORTSMOUTH. Jan. 13.-The carryall and pair
of horses which were hired in this city by the
| attempted robbers of the Great Falls bank were
| found by farmer in South Berwick this morn
| ing in turn in the road near the Goodwin
farm, the carriage having been tipped over and
| down high bank. The four Burglars then
found another man, probably neighbor who
brought them to this city, but arriving here just
too late for the first train they went toward
Boston in the next at half past o'clock.

TRANSFERRED to-day This morning the streets
and approaches to the State House were guard
ed by militia and police. Carriers party sent a
committee to the House, but it was not received
and would have no communication with the
men as committee from Carriers House. The
committee returned and Carter declared that
his House would adjourn from day to day. Let
tiers were addressed to the Governor and the
House by Carriers committee, asking the with
drawal of the military force, pledging no vio-
lence but still claiming to be the legal House of
Representatives. Gov. Yarmouth replied that
SO Representatives and II Senators had request
ed him to protect them and he should do so,
though he would admit the members and those
expelled from seats. The letter to Brewster,
Speaker of the Yarmouth House, addressed
him as chairman. Brewster's answer was not
conciliatory. Later crowd repaired to Gen.
Emory's quarters and demanded martial law.
He informed them he would give the ''grape
and canister" and told them to send a deputa-
ton if they wanted anything. The crowd left.
Later in the day Governor Yarmouth requested
Gen. Emory to send the Federal troops into the
city as he had reason to fear that the mob would
carry out its threats, mot to leave one stone of
the State House upon another" Gen. Emory
sent the troops as requested.
Latest-All is quiet in New Orleans at latest
date though storm seems to be brewing. Gen
Emory informs Carter that he will not order
