as Mr.. Augustus Fl. Pnce was saving wood in
his wood yard on Wilmot street, the belt con-
meeting the horse power to the saw slipped off,
giving the former a fearful momentum. Mr.

to stop the fly wheel. The force was SO great
that the wheel broke and the timber struck
him in the side of the head, knocking him
senseless to the ground. He was taken to his
house and physician called, but last evening
he was still unconscious. The exteut of his
injuries is not yet known.

Music HALL.-Last evening "Led Astray''
was produced at Music Hall, with Miss Lizzie
Walton in the leading part. To say that Miss
Walton succeeded better in lied Astray" than
in "Maud's PERIL is but simple justice. She
spoke louder, but she was far from the CAR
mande Chandoce' of Feuillet. While showing
considerable familiarity with the stage business
of the play, she failed to convey the senti-
mental, Maynard, but sincere character of
"Armende." The role is a difficult one, it is
true, and all due allowance should be made for
failure in matters of detail; but Miss Walton
evidently did not understand the part, or under
standing it, utterly failed to portray it, OF the
Frenchwoman, i'll understanding herself, not
content with the honest and homely love which
Rodolph after manner more Saxon than
Celtic entertalns for her, longing for ''grande
passion" and easily misled by the insincere
man who makes phrases, do the part of honest
passion, she conveys no idea. She has yet
much to learn before she should even attempta
leading part
Of the support there is little to be said The
"Hector" of Mr.. Calder, though not the
Hector of the play, is an honest, sincere
attempt at that character, and deserving of
praise for its consistency and naturalness. The
other actors were all very bad. Mr.. Bascomb,
of whom something was expected, "butchered"
a part in which he has formerly achieved toler-
able success. But, considering the surround
ings, nothing better should have been expected
of him.
The play will be repeated until further
notice.

THE TURKEY TRADE.-A very large number

cents, but at noon they dropped to % and %
cents, and at night the best turkeys in the
market could be had for II to 20 CENTS. Geese
were worth 20 to % cents, and ducks % cents,
while chickens could be had for 10 cents by the
car load. The Boston market was overrun
with turkeys, and they sold for Is cents all day.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
The morning after election, when it was sup
posed that Tiden was elected, the news so
inspired some Jealous Democrats of Harps-
well, who felt that in order to prevent bursting
determined to fire salute So to vent their
enthusiasm they went to Brunswick to procure
cannon. While there more news came
leaving the question in doubt So they waited,
and waited. A day passed-another, and they
began to wilt. Aud when on the third or
fourth day the sky was more ayes-y-chesp-
ness and defeat came across t. cir minds
thoughts of home, aud must they go back
without that cannon? Then it was that one of
them declared that if it were not for his family
de would never go back. And still they were
not happy. We have not heard whether they
have burst or gone home. Moral:-Don't be in
too great hurry to crow.
