On Friday of next week the annual conven.
ton of Young Mems Christian Association of

The Universalist State Sunday School con-
vention is to be held at Lewiston, October 18th
and 18th, and not Auburn as has been an

The ceremony of ''blessing the bell'' was

The Museuv,,.

The Ticket-of- Leave Man was put upon the
boards at tie Museum last evening, and, not
withstanding the rain, there was very fair
house. The play is one of which the public
never tire, and will always keep its hold upon
the stage. From the rising of the curtain to
its going down at the close of the last act the
interest never flags, the plot is so admirably
conceived and so skillfully worked out. Last
winter 1t proved one of the most popular plays
OF the season, and certainly it is lacking in no
element of success as presented by the present
company.
MIR. j. A Arnold sustains the part of Bob
Briefly, and to say that his success is equal to
that OF last season means high commentator
70 the Portland public. Miss Waldron in the
part of May Edwards successfully portrays the
trusting, loving, stout hearted but gentle girl
who. clings to her husband through all his
troubles, and saves him from falling by her
words of hope and encouragement. Into some
OF the scenes she throws, perhaps, too little
energy, her grief is little too undemonstra-
tive, but an error in this direction is much
preferable to those excessive outward mani
festations which render pathos ridiculous.
Miss Preston as Mrs. Willoughby was suffi-
GENTLY garrulous, though the higher walks of
life are much better adapted to her talents. In
the character of Emily Miss Ulmer was as
bright and pquant as ever. She has already
ma lie herself great favorite with the public,
by the air of naturalness which runs through
all her acting.
Mr. Norris in the part of Hawkshaw, the
detective, more than met expectation, throwing
himself into it with an energy and self
forgetfulness of which we had supposed him
incapable. In the bar room scene, where he
reveals his presence to Robert, he was really
very effective, Notwithstanding he had bad
voice to contend with
OF course Curtis was irresistibly funny as
Green Jones. Snyder found in Jem Dalton
part well suited to his capabilities and made
the most of it, while Switzerland as the sneak
ing Moss was in dress and manner and voice
sufficiently repulsive Clara Drinkwater sus-
taiEed the part of Sam in very creditable
manner.
Notwithstanding it was the first night, the
play ran smoothly, and there were none of
those delays which frequently render first
performance tedious. The play will be repeated
at the matinee this afternoon and again this
evening.

case goes up to the Law Court on report. When
the matter was brought up in the Superior
Court yesterday, Judge Symonds remarked
that if he had been called upon to rule upon
the merits of the case, he should have held
that Mr. Weeks was legally appointed; that
when he was City Solicitor, some years ago, the
same question was presented to him, and he
had at that time furnished a written opinion.
which he had since examined, in which he ar
rived at the same result as the present City
Solicitor, Mr.. Reed. The Judge added that
from what examination he had since given the
question he saw no reason for changing his for
mer opinion, but as parties interested in the
prosecution seemed to desire the opinion of the
Law Court, and as ruling in accordance with
the opinion expressed would be final and not
subject to exceptions, the City Solicitor, at his
request, had consented to report the case for
the decision of the Law Court.
The County Attorney added that his ex-
animation of the case had led him to the same
views as those entertained by the court but
he had no objection to this being made test
case.
Mr.. Reed said that the question had been
submitted to many city solicitors, and. was
constantly arising. Although all of them, in
GLIDING his. Honor and Mr.. Drummond, had
taken the same view of the matter, it might
nevertheless be as we'll to settle it finally if pos

Cumberland Countv Fair.

Mr.. EDITOR. did you know that there is to
be County Cattle Show and Fair this fall?
Wei. there is, and it is to be hold at West
Cumberland in connection. with the Cumber-
land Farmers Club, commencing next Tuesday
and holding three days. There is first class
trotting park, completely fenced. Within the
bounds of the same the members of the Club
have erected as good, aud perhaps the best,
building for the purpose there is in the state.
This building is 43 80 feet and two stories
high. The first floor is to be used for the exhi-
bition of the pr )ducts of the field, the garden
and the dairy, and is splendidly adapted to
that purpose. The second floor is to be used
for dining room, kitchen, &C., and is first
class in its appointments. This building is
built to stand the test of years, as the Club in
tend to locate permanently here. Much credit
is due to W. L. Prince, Esq.,, M. w. Hall, M.
D., Mr.. Merrill, President of the Club, and in
fact to all members of the same, for the energy
and determination with which they have met
and overcome all obstacles which usually arise
in such cases. The prospects now are that if
the weather should prove to be favorable, this
exhibition will be at the top of the page. The
entries in the various departments are quite
numerous already, and am informed that for
the horses some the best stock in the state has
entered l will close by asking you and all
your friends to come out and visit the said fair.
