physicians who advised her not to have an op-
Grafton performed, as it was feared it would re-
suit in her death. Since that time the tumor
has grown with great rapidly, and at times it

The MusEUM.-The beautiful play of ''Dot,"
The Cricket on the Hearth" was brought out
at the Museum last evening with new scenery,
new properties and novel mechanical effects
The excellent manner in which it was presented
and acted ought to command public attention
and draw very large audiences. The story it.
self, charmingly pathetic and finely harmon
ious, is one of the best Of those with which the
great novelist was won't to brighten up the be-
ginning Of winter. Properly interpreted as it
was last night, and it is very effective as play.
At the Museum Messrs. Richards. Page and
Wallace materially contributed TO the success
of the representation by the fine new scenery
and by the novel mechanical effects the best
which have yet been exhibited there.
Of the actors concerned all deserve praise,
and some high praise. The ''Caleb Pummer''
of Mr.. Wheelock was an excellently conceived
and powerfully executed performance. In the
first scene it was not striking though the make.
up and the general bearing of the old toy
maker commanded attention at once. But the
Characterization, as is usual with Mr.. Wheel
ock. steadily increased in strength and soon
took strong hold upon the sympathies of the
ouetiouoc. IL WAS Especially weil uOue III INC

comforts of his home to the blind Bertha
Every tenderly and gracefully taken by Miss
Cameron) and where he recognizes his son.
Mr.. Calder acquitted himself with great credit
as the bluff, bg-hearted John Perrybingle,''
giving an impersonation deserving of high
praise. Miss Ulmer was a charming "Dot,"
doing the kind, vivacious little woman to the
life. AS "rackelton" Mr.. Ulmer made de-
cided hit, and that gruf, snarling, selfish and
cynical old rascal was adequately portrayed,
the characterization being strong and we'll sus
tanned. Of course Mr.. Curtis was very funny
as ''TIlly Slowboy," keeping his audience in
high delight during all the evening. The part
was forced out of its proper proportion and
trife obtrusive at times, but it was very anus
ing. The play will be given at the special
matinee this afternoon and thereafter until
further notice. Special trains over the Port
land & Rochester run to-day, enabling people
along the line to visit the Museum.
Friday evening Mr.. Ulmer takes his benefit.
On that occasion "Dot' and "The Revolution

agement from the amusement.loving public,we
look to see large house. People will have an

THE CASE OF Mr. HAYDEN. The Somerset

The CASE OF Mr.. HAYDEN.--The Somerset
Reporter says of the result of the trial of VIM.
D. Hay Esq, on the charge of embezzling
the funds of the town of Madison:
"The case was thoroughly and impartially
tried, every opportunity was given to make the
examination searching and complete, and the
result was verdict of not guilty. Many per.
sons who have learned of the condition of
Madison's finances as set forth by the investi-
eating committee, and have unders TODD the
case with which an indictment was procured,
will be surprised to learn of the verdict, but
those who heard of the testimony and so were
able to weigh the evidence, were not at all sur
prised. The prosecution publicly admitted
what was patent to all beholders that Mr..
Hayden's appearance on the stand was decid-
eddy in his favor. He made statements in a
candid manner and appeared DESTROYS of en-
tightening the jury to the extent of his ability.
The last two days of the trial brought Mr. Hay
den many friends, and we do MT believe that
there was a man conversant with the facts
brought out at tine trial but what was glad of
the result

THE HANSON EsTATE.-It is to be regetted
that fellow so Every clever as the writer of
the following letter should not have wider
field in which to give full scope to his magma
tive powers:
PORTLAND, March 9. 1876.
Thomas B. Donaldson, Esq, Enfield Station,
Noya Scotia:
Dear Sr:-I am looking up some matters
concerning an estate in which the name of Han
son is connected, and 1 understand that
branch of that name are at your place. Will
you please forward to me at as early date as
convenient, the names of parents and children,
date of birth, where born, etc, that may COM
pare with records that 1 now have to see if they
correspond with those? State more particular
ly where born. Yours truly,
c. f. JEFFERSON.
This letter will appear little mysterious to
those who know Mr.. Jefferson and never sus
pected that he was an attorney laboring to es-
tablish claims to estates and consequently needs
a word of explanation. Mr.. Jefferson runs the
Democratic machine in Ward 3, AS politi
Clan he is agile aggressive and sharp. At the
municipal election he challenged the right of
officer Hanson to vote, as he did that of seve.
raj other parties. Hanson voted, AMI the fer
tile mind of Mr.. Jefferson hit upon this plan of
getting testimony on which to proceed against
him. Mr.. Jefferson doubtless found out that
officer Hanson and his parents were born in
Maine, and is no longer interested in the Han
son estate.
