OwENs,-bfr. John E. Owens closed his very
successful engagement at Music Hall Satur-
day evening with "Married Life,'' and ''Solon
Shingle." The comedy of married Life" is
farcical in the extreme, and it is hardly posi-
BILE for the actors therein to deal too much in
burlesque The company seemed to be as much
amused by its extravagances rs the audience,
and found it difficult at times to keep in coun-
tenance. OF coarse Owens was irresistibly
funny as Henry Dove, the promoted footman.
The unconcealed anxiety with which he follow
ed and initiated every movement of his liege
lady and mistress in order to guard himself
against solecisms in manner, his difficulty with
his 'we's" and his s'h'aitches," and his ungov-
ernable impulse to run at the sound of bell
were effectively portraed Mr.. Ward as Cod
die, came out strong, and achieved most
marked success From the moment at which
he appeared in overcoat and muller to the
time of his last entrance, in the most airy of
suits, he was an object of continued mirth to
his audience. His inability to Withstand the
| violet flames which shot from the eyes of his
beautiful and high spirited wife, was lud-
icrous in the extreme. Stuart, as Younghus-
band was a model of careful and conscientious
acting. Miss Flood, who has been steadily
growing in favor since her first appearance be-
| fore the Portland public, gave finished and
well studied rendition of Mrs. Henry Dove.
Miss Williams showed her admirable capacity
for pathetic roles in Mrs. Lynx. The others all
| did well.
! Of ''Solon Single" it is scarcely necessary to
speak. The play itself is the merest twaddle,
and one can't help wishing that the goody
Charles Otis might be immured for life within
| the walls of prison; for such prig would be
| utterly insufferable in daily intercourse. Mr..
Owens exquisitely finished conception of the
old farmer, with his "reminiscences of country
digntaries and his fondness for rum toddy, is
| of course the life of the play. People endured
the rest of the play for the sake of Single.
| The one unreal touch about Owens admira HE
| impersonation is that frisky totter across the
stage which suggests the idea of a rheumatic
with the jlmjams This is surely blemish
npon the great merits of the rendition.
| AS will beseen by the correspondence in an
| other place, Mr.. Owens will present Poole's
| comedy of Paul Pry ON his return next Satur-
day evening None who have ever seen him in
! this great part will neglect to attend

RIPENING PEARs.-Josiah Hopes lurn-
ishes some excellent directions for picking
and ripenng pears. After abiding to the
common test of ripeness for picking, name
ly, gently raising the fruit 10 see it it will
readily detach itself at the stem, he directs
that the specimens be placed thinly and
evenly on the floor Of cool room, on a
.banket previously spread and then cover
ed with blanket. He says in short time
the effect of the second treatment will be
apparent in the most golden colored Bart
let's, and rich and ru1dy looking S,ckle's
Imaginable. Pears perfected in this man
ner rarely have the mealiness of their nat
urally ripened companions; nor do they
prematurely decay at the core as when left
on the tree.
ARREsTING DECAY IN PoTATOEs.-Va-
rious plans for arresting decay in potatoes
after digging have from time to time been
made public, such as busting with quick
lime, gypsum, charcoal dust, &c. Prof.
Church of Cirencester, England, the emf
nent agricultural chemist announces that
sulphite of lime appears to exercise very
remarkable influence in arresting the spread
of decay in potatoes affected by the potato
disease. In one experiment the salt was
busted over some tubers, partially decay ed
from this cause, as they were being slowed
away. Some months alterward tho po-
tatoes were found to have suffered no fur
Their injury. A'similar trial with POWDER
ed lime proved to be much less effective
