THE MUsEUM-Mr Marshall labors under
decided disadvantages in face, form and age in
playing Hamlet, and does not approach the
general idea of Shakespeare Dane. But We
doubt if the large audience last evening kept in
mind his deficiencies in these respects after
the opening of the third act. From that time
he had his audience with him, and the deep
interest then awakened was sustained to the
close We are disposed to quarrel with his
conception of the sad prince, but the concep-
ton is carried out masterfully.
Miss Isadora Cameron did excelently well in
the arduous role of Ophelia. The mad scene
in the fourth act, which so tasks the abilities OF
an actress, was rendered with close fidelity to
the requirements of the part.
Miss Victoria Cameron was fine Queen
Gertrude. She looked the royal lady, and
played her part with simple dignity and ease.
Mr. Bascomb made good Laertes. Mr..
Calder was of course excellent as the grave
digger. The ghost was very funny. We re-
greet to notice that he was laboring under an
irritation of the bronchial tubes.

zens of Nashua, N. H., in celebrating the COM
pletion of the Nashua & Rochester Railroad.

ton of the Nashua Reception Committee, who
extended the courtesies of the citizens OF

the party were received by the full committee
and were conducted through the Works OF the
Nashua Lock Co., the Nashua Iron Works, the
Nashua (cotton) Manufacturing Co., the Indian
Head Manufacturing (cotton) Co., and other
manufacturing establishments of the city.

the party arrived at the City Hall, where
magnificent banquet had been spread
After the edibles had been fully discussed,

McKeen of Nashua, who. in brief and fitting
speech, welcomed the visitors to the city.

half of the guests present from Portland. In

Stevens, ESQ.,, of Portland, N. V. Whitehouse,
ESQ.,, of Comic, Stephen Holt Esq, of Eppipg'
Major A. II. Dunlap of Nashua, and OTHERS
The hearty spontaneous character OF the cele-
braton is seen in the fact that the splendid
banquet was net the work of a caterer, but was
provided by the ladies of the city, who person.
ally assisted in serving it.
The hall was finely decorated with flags,
bunting and painting, excellent music was fur
nished by the Nashua Band, and the galleries
were filled wit b the first ladies of the city.

MEETING OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY COUNCIL
OF PATRONS OF HCsBANDRY.-The Council met
Tuesday evening at 9 o'clock, at Arcana Hall.
After appointment of a committee on order OF
business for the Grange department, the busl-

the several committees in this department were
made and unanimously commended as highly
gratifying to the order. The committee on
tools, machinery, and seeds reported that in
their opinion the matter should be referred to
the annual meeting, to be held the first Tues
day of February. The Importance OF this
branch was considered as demanding the most
careful investigation and mature action. AT
o'clock the Council sat down to dinner, and the
cold morning ride made deliberation extremely
distasteful and difficult, but with the Doctor at
the head of the table, to divert with his win
ming talk, no one but brother Deputy got too
full for utterance After dinner the matter
specially assigned for discussion came up, and
an interesting debate followed, and the resolu-
