and goes through many other wonderful per-
formances. The feats performed by the pro-
fessor are still more marvellous. He seats HIM
self in chair, places his hands within those of
| one of the audience, and calls for the lights to
belowered. In trce they are turned on again,
| and an iron ring is found upon his arm. There
seems to be no possibility of trick or deception
in these performances, and those who have
witnessed them are completely mystifed.
BATTLE OF NEwBURN-This evening the
Post Bosworth, G. A. R., will bring out the
''Battle of Newburn' in frst.class style at
Music Hall. The appointments of the play are
all fine, and the rehearsals testify thst the act
ing will be excellent The Grand Army are
bent upon surprising themselves, and promise
us something better even than they have yet
given. The proceeds of the entertainment will
go to swell the Hospital fund, and those who
wish to contribute to SO laudabe an object and
enjoy pleasant evenings entertainment at the
same time will do well to attend The addition
OF the battle scenes, and better plantation spec
facles, will make this far better than the Union
Spy, which was presented some time since.
AN OLD ADAGE.-It is an old adage that the
receiver of stolen goods is as bad as the thief
Should the spirit of this be acted upon there are
many persons in Portland who would be under
arrest to-day. Nearly all the articles, such as
lead, copper, iron, etc, which SO many young
boys plter find their way into the hands of
men in this city who purchase them at mere
~ nominal price, knowing that they are stolen.
This receiving of stolen goods is q crying
evil. and our police are determined to suppress
it. They are ON a sharp look out, and unless
our fences mend their ways they will be
brought before Judge Morris some fine morn
ing. In that quarter they may expect no
mercy.
The MUSICAL CLuB.-This association of
young amateurs gave one of their elegant en-
tertainments at Rossini Hall last evening.
Everything was done with the exquisite good
taste which chara.terizes the club, and some of
the parts evinced remarkable musical talent
and culture. The same retiring modesty which
prevents the assumption of distinctive name
for the organization leads the young ladies to
object TO the introduction of their names in q
detailed report; SO we are compelled to be con-
tent with a general statement of the excellence
of the concert, which was given for the benefit
of the Maine General Hospital We append
the programme.
