/ HE MUSEUM.-It DAVID Garrlck 10 s not
! call out full houses at the Museum it will be
because of lamentable want of taste anon G
Portland people. Should this brilliant comedy
| fail to draw, it will become evident that only
| those sensational plays which depend upou
| blue lights and mechanical effects can succeed
in this city.
The rendition last evening, in two of the
roles at least, left nothing to be desired. Miss
Isadora played Ada with an exquisite grace
and admirable fidelity to nature. Her concep
ton of the character was finished and artistic,
and her rendition of the impulsive beauty was
natural and spirited. She was especially fine
in the third act, in Garrick's lodgings and
throughout the comedy her by-play was no.
ticeably good She has never appeared to SO
good advantage in any of the roles she has I'M
dertaken since her engagement here.
Mr.. Bartlett was at home in the character OF
the great actor, and demonstrated that the
cities were merited. He showed quiet power
that belongs only to the highest school of act
ing, and in the second act. where an inferior
player would have been tempted into burlesque,
he made a marked and favorable impression
His Interpretation deserves warm approval.
Mr.. Calder was very amusing as esquire
Chivy," and his impersonation of the horse
loving squire, though open to the charge Of ex-
ageration was in the main very good. Mr..
Oakley gave a commendable rendition of Mr..
Ingot, the honorable and play hating father of
the heroine, The less said of the others the
better. They contrived TO caricature the parlol
scene in manner that battles description.
London trades people are not persons of refined
taste and graceful manners, bat they are not
stark lunatcs. s e!3att
'David Garrick' will be repeated this even
ing and will be followed by the "Limerick
Boy" as an afterpiece, an amusing play which
| is speciality of Mr. Calder's. 1t will doubt
less prove very entertaining fh s3GaA

TEMPERANCE IN DEERING.-The Sunday
evening temperance meeting at the old Bradley
meeting house was well attended. The open

increase, and strong public sentiment is
growing up adverse to the Sunday gatherings

DELAY OF TRAINs.-The storm OF yesterday
made bad work for the railroad tracks. The
Boston & Maine train due here at noon was
an hour and half late, owing to an accident
and the bad condition of the rails. just after
leaving Lawrence the crank of the walking
beam of the locomotive broke and it was some
time before another locomotive could be OBJ
tanned. Consequently the passengers did not
connect with the Grand Trunk train for Mon
treal ......s.. ........s =
The train on the Eastern road was also late,
but arrived in season to connect with the drahd
Trunk train.
The afternoon train on the Grand Trunk ar
rived at the depot about forty minutes late.
The train hands report heavy snow fall along
the line of the road. The track was in bad
condition and the train made slow time.
Several of the other trains arriving in this
city were late, but all made their connections.
