The spring term Of the Fryeburg Academy

Simmons resigned his charge of tie school
some days ago. Probably luo teacher in the
history of the academy ever left behind warm

coupled with thorough knowledge of the
coming wants of everyday life of his students,
he not only gave them thorough instruction in
books but lasting impression of duties which
in after life will be of lasting benefit to them.
Both he and his estimable wife leave hosts of

long resident at the North, they have also es-

''RomeO and Juliet was given at the Mus
cum last evening to much smaller audience
than the fine acting of Mr.. Wheelock deserved.
The tragedy, even if given only moderately
well, should command full house. The ex-
cellent characterization of Mr.. Wheelock ought
to fill the Museum. Of that characterization
as given on former occasion, we have spoken
at length, and have little to add to that COM
mendatiop. Iu the first act Mr.. Wheelock act.
ed with less spirit than he usually displays.
But in the second act he rose to the height
of the situation, and thenceforward was the
ideal Romeo" handsome, graceful passion
ate. He held his audience in close and rapt at
tention to the fall of the curtain.
"Juliet," that child of passion, did not find
in Miss Cameron an Interpretation that meets
the general conception; but her impersonation
was marked by many excelencies She threw
herself into the spirit Of her part was good so
far az gesture and facial EXPRESSION were con-
cerned, and even freed herself in a measure
from her crying fault of voice; but she failed
to convey the passion and tenderness which we
associate with "Juliet.'
Mr.. Bascomb was little heavy for "Mer-
cutio," one of the most difficult parts, by the
way, which is attempted on the stage, but in
the main gave good rendition. Mr.. Reed
had little to do as "Benvoio' and did that
little lily. Mrs. Preston was very bad as the
nurse. Mr.. Gale gave "Paris" with far more
spirit than on former occasion. The other
parts were fairly taken. The play will be re-
peated this evening only, and deserves large
house.
Some seats yet remain for Mr.. Wheelock' G
benefit Tomorrow night On that occasion
only ''Richeleu'' will be produced, the
'fShaughraun" being revived for Saturday
afternoon and evening. As this is the last
benefit of the season, occurring on the last
night but one, and as Mr.. Wheelock is an actor
whose great merits deserve hearty recognition,
we hope to see crowded house.
This morning the sale of seats opens for the
performance of Julius Cesar by the fine
company from Booths Theatre. The briIliancy
of the cast has ELECTED the most fatterine
encomiums of the New York press, and these
have the hearty endorsement of a public long
familiar with the highest order of acting The
genius of Barrett has invested the character of
"Cassius" with SO much individuality that he
seems the very Roman Shakespeare drew
while the classic beauty of Bangs "Marcus
Antonius, the stateliness of the Caesar of
Levick, and the dignified rspose and intellectual
grandeur of the impersonation of "Brutus, %
by the great tragedian, Davenport challenge
the stage of either here or abroad for near
approach. TIE offering will be worthy the
patronage Of the people of this vicinity fond
of exalted dramatic art, and we look to see the
Museum filled to its utmost capacity. The
play will be given for one night only.

CENTENNIAL DAY IN PoRTLAND.-The deco
rations in Portland yesterday were not on an
extensive scale, and no one would have guessed
that it was the day for the opening of the
Centennial Exposition. The store of Deering,
Miliken & Co., on Middle street was the only
place in the city where there was much of
display. This store was decorated with great
care and presented fine appearance The
front of the building was decked with flags,
and on entering the store it was impossible to
enumerate the vast collection. Nearly oppo-
site the entrance to the spacious salesroom,
hangs flag bearing an excellent likeness of
Lincoln. To the left is the shield of Maine
and on another pillar hangs the Liberty bell,
while at the side of the stairs can be seen
Uncle Sam extending cordial welcome to all
nations. The windows were deliberately decor
ated, and every pillar in the long room was
entwined with bunting. Standing at the front
entrance of the store there seemed to be moth
ing but a cloud of little banners in the room
They were very nicely arranged and not one of
them seemed to be out ofplace, Last evening
the store was lighted and presented brilliant
spectacle. 1t was from this store that the
High School boys procured their Centenni al
neck-ties. This firm have large stock of
just such goods which will be in good demand
before the Centennial is over.
Nearly opposite, the store of j. 7. Lewis g.
Co. was decorated but in not so elaborate a
manner. A flag was also hung across Middle
street, frc m Merrill, Prince & Co.'s, and the
flag on the City Building was hoistel DURING
the day.

Next Monday the new route between Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, will
open for the Centennial season. Without any
change of cars, passengers will leave the New
York and New England station in Boston,
either at 8 a. m. or p. M, and 60 by the way
of the Hartford, Providence and Fishkill and
New York and New Haven line to the Harlem
river, where the transfer steamer Maryland
will convey the train to Jersey city. Here tie
Pennsylvania road will be taken and passen-
gers landed at the Centennial grounds in less
than twelve hours after leaving the Hub. On
the day express, Pullman's palace drawing
room cars--made expressly for this route-will
be run, and comfortable sleeping cars on the
night train. Without doubt this new route
will be very largely patronized by the throng
of sght-seers who will go to the Centennial
from New England. 1t will also be taken by
by many Washington and Baltimore travellers,
the arrangement at Philadelphia ensuring an
unbroken journey to those points. Excursion
tickets may now be had at 205 Washington
