Belfast packet she slipped from the gaagway
and fell into the water The captain of the
packet at once threw plank overheard and
sent sailor to her rescue. The woman chung
to the plank The sailor who went down the

struggles and cry of ''Do let my legs alone.
You will drown me-" The captain took in the
situation, called the sailor back, went down
himself, fastened the rope round the woman's
waist, and got her on board the vessel, where
she was cared for. She was badly chilled, but

Howe, proprietor of the Arabian Medicines,
will be at the Sagadahoc House, in that city,
on Tuesday morning, next week, and will re-
main there until Friday evening, flom a. m.
till p. M, each day. He gave last week four
days' receptions at the Falmouth House, in this
city, and as usual his rooms were thronged, and
we'll they might be, for the Doctor makes no
charge whatever for either advice or examina-

picion that their lungs are affected, or who may
be troubled with liver, kidney or blood diseases
should not fail to see the Doctor while at the

Nor DEAD.-The man mentioned in recent
issue as having frozen to death was Ezra Slim
son, butcher from Gray. Mr.. Stimson was in
town yesterday, and vehementy denied that he
was dead, freely inpeaching the veracity Of the
PRESS AS he had been drinking rather freely
his statement must be taken with grain of
allowance, and we are not disposed to make a
correction until we have further evidence He
intimates Ethat some of his total abstinence
friends are responsible for the story of his death.
We had it from an authority which we are not
inclined to dispute. 1t is said that his friends
wished to frighten him out of the habit of
drinking, and so finding him insensble in his
sleigh the other night, endeavored to persuade
him that he was dead, and inserted an account
of the death in the papers, hoping that would
convince him if nothing else would. They
went so far as to provide coffin; but when
Mr.. Stimson gravely suggested that the article
ought to be 'wet down." they gave up their at
tempt in despair. In candor, we are compelled
to say that this story is not so well authenticat-
ed as the story of his death.

INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP CoMPANY.-We
would call attention to the changes to-day in

THE MUsEUM.-Mr. Robinson's impersona-
alton of Hamlet last evening was an excellent
one. 1t was absolutely free from rant and was
pleasant surprise for that reason. Mr.. Rob
inson is wanting in the splendid Evolutionary
powers Of Mr.. Marshall, but his personal APP
pearance and makeup are points in his favor.
In many respects his Characterization. is better
than Mr.. Marshall's. for it is quieter and more
natural. Of special note was his appearance
in the seen where the Queen rushes away af-
ter he upbraids her, and the scene where be
confronts Laertes at the grave. Taken as a
whole it was a powerful and wellconceived
piece of acting, pleasant to witness and to re-
member.
The cast was nearly the same as when Mr.
Marshall played. We, at that time, spoke of
Miss Isadora Cameron as Ophelia, and of her
admirable acting in the trying mad scene; of
Miss Victoria Cameron in her noble conception
of the Queen; of Mr.. Bascomb's meritorious
Laertes, and of Mr.. Calder's excellent grave
digger. Mr.. Richardson assumed the part of
Horatio, and certainly did better than Mr..
Hayden.

everything all their own way. This matter
