ROsedaIe,

"Rosedale," as brought out at the Museum,
deserves as long run as "The Two Orphans"
for it is, with the exception of that drama, the
best play ever put on the boards at this popu-
lar place of amusement. 1t has all the ele-
ments of popularity. The plot. though srifle
obscure, is well managed and excites vivid
interest from the start. There are two remarka-
bly, effective situations. The dialogue is viva
cous and natural. The play is admirably
mounted, and shows all that attention to detail
which characterizes the Museum stage man
agement Two scenes, the ''east room,'' and
the 'gipsey camp" are of great excellence,
and are certainly credit to the scenic artist.
The interior is the handsomest which he has
painted. The acting is good, some of it very
fine.
The most noticeable part is that of "Elliot
Gray" taken by Mr.. Arnold, who presents one
of his most finished and effective characterize.
lions. The cool, easy, devi.may-care manner
OF the young officer, his courage, his rollicking
spirits, his absence of all pretence are pictur.
esquely set forth. Mr.. ArnoId's undaunted
front when the ruffians bind him in his chair,
audacity in the gipsey camp, his cool impu-
dence in the love scenes with s'Rosa'' miss
Waldron) are jail bits Of accomplished acting.
His fine voice is of material advantage to him
and a delight to the audience in the two songs
he has to sing. In the loye-making he is charm
ingly seconded by Miss Waldron, who gives
throughout natural and effective impersona-
ton. The support is good, noticeably in the
cases Of Mr. Sutherland, who has something of
Wallack in his makeup, and Mr.. Snyder, who
gives forcible and strongly drawn characteri-
cation of "Mies McKenna.'' Mr.. Curtis as
"Bunbery Kobb, is very amusing whenever he
appears, and is especially funny where he es-
capes from the closet with mouse traps cling
ing to his fingers and rat-traps clinging to his
toes, and in the dancing scene Miss Preston
gives an entertaining impersonation of the
sharp-tempered and warm-hearted "Tabitha.'
A special Thanksgiving matinee will be given
this afternoon, and the house should be crowd

SUFFERING AMONGST THE MEDIA ge n
tleman in Deering went to one of his tene-
ments to collect his rent, and found young wo-
man who had been confined to the house for
two years and three children, one aged eleven,
who had done the work. This family had not
had square meal for more than week, all
the fire they had in the house was what the
the children had been able to make from chips
and old wood they had been able to pick up.
These in a measure have failed on account of
the storm. Her husband had become embar-
raised for doctor bills, medicine, groceries, &C.,
of which he could not meet Last spring some
of the bills were sued, execution issued and
threats of Jail on them. He stepped out, went
to Haverhill, Mass. During the summer and
fall he sent money enough for them to live
comfortably. He is now out Of work and un.
able to send anything for their support. His
former employer here is willing to employ him,
but if he comes he is liable to be put in Jail,
and it is safer for him to be in another state.
The circumstances were related in the market
yesterday, and.a generous collection was taken
up, and provisions, wood, &C., will be forth
coming, so that the family will not suffer if he
is able to get work soon.

Commemorative are credibly informed
that our item yesterday in regard to Mr.. AL
phonso Davis of Benny Eagle does injustice to
him. The separation between him and his
wife is said to be no fault of his, but is rather
the result of incompatibility of temper and was
as much desired by her as him. Instead of
leaving her destitute, he has given to her about
all his earthly possessions, and she has no
claim to any special sympathy. Mr.. Davis is
spoken of as a young man of responsibility and
we regret that any injustice has been done
