The Western Settlers Chosen specific.

With every advance of emigration into the far
West, new demand is created for Hosteter's Stom-
ach Bitters. Newly peopled regions are frequently
less salubrious than older settled localities, on &C.
count of the miasma which rises from recently cleared
land, particularly along the banks of rivers that are
subject to freshets The agricultural mining emf
grant soon learns, when he does not already know
that the Bitters afford the only sure protection
against malaria and those disorders of the stomach
liver and bowels to which climatic changes exposure
and unaccustomed unhealthy water or diet subject
him. Consequently, he places an estimate upon this
great household specific and preventive commensur-
ate with its intrinsic merits and is careful keep on
hand restorative and promoter of health so impc-
lily to be relied upon in time of need.

MECHANICAL DRAwING.-The free school for
instruction in mechanical drawing under the
auspices Of the Maine Charitable Mechanic
Association will close this month after term
of about twenty weeks. The school has been
under the instruction Of Mr.. Alexander Dem
nett draughtsmau at the Portland Company s
works, and the result has been very satisfacto-
ry. About sixty young men who propose to be
mechanics have attended and their progress
has been very rapid. The first of the term was
used in getting acquainted with the imple-
ments, after which pencil drawing was adopt
ed. At present the school are using ink and
are practising in shading. The association fur
nish everything except the tools, thus the cost
to the students is very little. The school is d.
vided into two classes, one of which meets
Wednesday and the other Friday evening. The
association has done good work lin the main
tenapce of this sch DOL.

IHE MUsEUM.-The play upon the boards
last evening, 'Green Bushes" was we'll pre-
| sented and very favoraby received. The seats
were fairly filled, and the audience manifested
deep interest throughout Mr.. Richards has
been exercising his brush to good effect and
two or three new scenes were used for the first
time. AS for the play ITSELF The scene of the
first act is laid in Ireland; in the second we are
carried among the Indian tribes on the banks
OF the Mississippi; while in the third and fourth
we find ourselves again in Ireland. This ar
rangement affords opportunity for great diver
sity of character, and the author has sustained
his situations with well conducted dialogue, fire.
quently sparkling and often rising to considera-
BILE dignity. The first scene opens upon rus
tic fair in Ireland, with Mr.. Calder as leading
Irishmap, who afforded considerable amuse-
ment. Two songs and dancing are introduced
in this act, in which Miss Ulmer as "Nellie
ONear won the hearty approval of the audi
ence. Her dancing was charming, and her
acting throughout winning and spirited, such
as cannot fail TO please the most fastidious At
the beginning of the second act the curtain
rises upon new scene, showing the interior of
a log cabin, and it is well done. Here we find
Miss Miles as the balf-bred Indian huntress
miami" Her part is somewhat difficult, but
she enters into it with perfect abandon and the
general effect is good She is continually throw
ing herself into some unaccountable attitude or
posture that bids fair to be awkward, but re-
covers herself in some unexpected manner
and comes out triumphant. Such acting de-
mands the closest attention on the part of the
audience, and in the person of Miss Miles is
certainly very satisfactory. The character of
'Connor OKennedy," sustained by Mr.. Wal
dron, affords but little scope for dramatic pow
er, yet Mr.. Waldron made it interesting. Miss
Cameron as ''Geraldine,'' was successful, but
the part calls for no sustained effort in which
the artist may work it up. To the lovers of a
laugh. Mr.. Curtis and Mr. Snyder, in the char
acters of "Grinnidge" and Jack Cong" boon
companions, are irresistible. Mr.. Curtis has
ample occasion to display his talent and the
audience is eager to testify its approval.
This play is one of the best recently present.
ed. 1t is exciting from first to last, and affords
pleasant evenings entertainment.
