THE MUsEUM.-"Damon and Pythias"
called out a large audience last evening not
withstanding the bad weather. The paraphre-
MALTA of the order of the Knights of Pythias
was worn upon the stage to some extent, with
fine effect. The colors of the order were taste.
fully hung about the archway of the stage, the
coat of arms in The center, while their large
flag was pinned to the gallery with crossed
spears and shield. The first act caught the
attention of the audience and the interest in
creased in intensity to the end. Mr.. Proctor as
Damon, wore senatorial robs of blue trimmed
with orange in honor of the occasion. In the
second act where Damon intrudes upon the
deliberations of the senators in the senate
chamber, piece of intense and sustained act
ing is demanded. Mr.. Proctor was equal to
the occasion and was repeatedly applauded in
this scene. When the time came in the third
act for Pythias to assume Damon's penalty of
death, that the latter may once more see his
wife and child, Mr.. Waldron, as Pythias, gave
Mr.. Proctor able support. The effect was all
that could be desired Inthe scene at the cod of
the fourth act where Damon learns by the false
ambassador of Dionysius of the supposed exc
ouIou VI L ytuiaS MI IEoCtor gave d uuo tA-
hbition of deep feeling and received an en-
thusiastic call before the cartain. The play
was well rendered throughout and if the
Knights of Pythias have felt any responsibility
as to its reception their anxiety is certainly at
an end With the delegation of this order
from out of town tonight the house will be
crowded. Friday night ':Othello'' will be pre-
sented, We learn that next week Mr. Whee-
lock, who recently played few nights in this
city, will begin an engagement at the Museum
to continue the remainder of the season.

METHODIST DISTRICT CONFERENCE AT COR
HAM.-IueSday afternoon Rev. d. b. Ran
dell read paper on "What Notifications if
any, are desirable in the Office of Presiding
Elder, or in the manner of its appointment"
The paper assumed that the church had reached
point where some modification in the Office
was demanded, maintaining that the Office in
some form was an essential feature in Meth
odist economy. The essayist favored the cleo
ton of Presiding Elders by the members of the
annual conference. The discussion on the
above subject awakened good deal of interest
and indicated that the conference was about
equally divided on the question of the election
of the Presiding Elders. An able paper was
read by Rev. j. R. Day of Biddeford, on the
sabbath dissertation by corporations and indi-
viduals." His plea for the sanctity of the Sab
bath, and his protest against Sabbath desecra-
ton on the part of railroads and other corpora
tions, were heartily approved by the conference.
The conference protested also against the hold
ing of camp meetings on the Sabbath day.
Rev. T. P. Adams preached an excellent Ser
mon on Psalm LIST, Tuesday evening.
Wednesday Morning. Three brethren were
HCouseu DIS loCdl predCuoTS Inree were TeC0m
mended to annual conference for ordination as
local deacons five were recommended for adj
mission on trial in the travelling connection.
The following resolutions were passed unani-
mously:
ResolUed.-That the manufacture, sale and
drinking of spirituous and malt liquors, wines
and cider-except in cases of extreme necessity
lis violation of our rules, aud no person can
be member of the M. E. Church in good
standing and continue the practice. That we
greatly rejoice in the deep and wide spread in
terest manifested in the cause of temperance at
the present time, and we pledge ourselves to
further and greater efforts to make the move
ment an entire success.
Resolyed-That we look with alarm upon the
efforts which are made to remove the Bible
from our public schools and the appropriation
of public school funds for sectarian religious ed
ucation-as designed to utterly destroy the gen.
eral education of the people.
The resolution on the taxation of church
property discussed affirmatiyely by Rev. j. w.
johnson and negatively by Rev. G. Il. thinner
man, ELECTED quite an animated debate in the
conference. The conference was about equally
divided on the subject.

Balancing Accounfs.v

There was not large audience at the vestry
Of the First Baptist church last evening to lis
ten to the lecture of M. L. Stevens. Esq, on
Balancing Accounts owing to the weather,
but those who we're present were amply re-
warded for their pains. The members of the
Literary Society, under whose auspices the lee
ture was given, decided for comforts sake to
invite their friends into the smaller vestry, and
this was full. 1t is an injustice to Mr. Stevens
to attempt 10 give an adequate idea of his lee
ture in the brief space allotted us, but a few
prominent thoughts may be of some service.
He began with the old adage "there is no great
loss without some small gain" This is the
teaching of the past. But born of our civilza'
ton and profounder knowledge of the various
phenomena of existence we can go still further,
there is no loss without an equal gain" From
this he dwelt upon the correlation and conser-
walton of physical forces and the relation of
vital forces to each OTHER and to ply steal forces.
Experiences and sensations are also subject to
this proverb individual experiences, wit, humor
and natural experience. In the bookkeeping
of nature and of Providence there is no forcing
OF balances. no attempt at making two and
two three or five. Our lives are reservoirs of
vital forces that will be expended whether we
will or no. We can determine the direction of
the expenditure and, therefore, the nature Of
the income. No event should be looked upon
or thought of as isolated or separate These
forces should be studied that knowing their
nature we can control them. We are to accept
the present now as result which is the out.
come of the forces that have come to us in the
past. The close was an earnest appeal for US
to improve our condition by the daily work OF
transmitting these results of the past into causes
for the future.
The lecture evinoed close thought, and was
remarkably clear aud logical. Scientific truths
were presented in simple language, and forced
home to the understanding by apt and pleasing
illustrations, and the inspiration of e'oquence
was By no means wanting.
