INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLs.--A quar-
tesly meeting Of the managers of this institu-
ton was held in Hallowell Wednesday. The
Superintendent submitted his report for the
last quarter, by which it appears that the num-
Der of pupils at the beginning of the quarter
was 80, sent to homes 8. committed to the
school 5, present number-31, number of appli-
cants 8. The children generally submit with
out complaint to the government of the school,
which is parental in its character. Punish
ment is resorted to only when other means
fail. The progress of the children in their
studies has been commendable. The girls sent
to homes are said to be doing WELL The habit
OF profanity which some of the children have
brought with them from their homes, causes
considerable trouble.
Mrs. Hamilton, the Matron, reports that
during the past quarter there have been so
many changes that it has been the most trying
quarter through which the school has passed.
The younger children are making excellent
progress in knitting, sewing and darning. The
children seem to take delight in labor of some
kind. The health of the children, with one
or two exceptions, has been quite good. The
approach of summer is hailed with pleasure, so
that the children can get out of door exercise
There is much to hope for in the work.
The Bylaws were so amended that the
annual meeting will hereafter be held on the
first Wednesday of December, instead of
January, and the other meetings on the first
Wednesday Of March, June and September.

Capt w. E. Dennison dropped his pocket book
in ore of the Spring street horse cars. The
driver found it, but refused to leave it at the
Office of the company, according to the rules
of the road, or to hand it to the Superintendent
even when asked to. He at last however,

On Monday evening Miss Geneveve Rogers,
one of the most charming of our younger
actresses, begins a weeks engagement at
Fanny Marshs Theatre. Miss Rogers is but
eighteen years old, and has already won for
herself an enviable place in her chosen pro-
tession. Gifted with rare beauty Of face and
form, and possessing remarkable histrionic
talent she has gone upon the stage with
advantages which very unfrequently are the
fortune of the debutante to possess. The
warmth of her reception is but just recogni-
ton of her merits.
For the last two weeks she has been playing
at the Boston Museum to crowded houses in
the beautiful dramatic adaptation of Whittier's
famous poem Maud Muller" play in which
she has won her most striking success. The
part seems peculiarly fitted for her, and
she enters into the spirit of the character with
childish abandon which completely DISCUSSES
the actress, and persuades her audiences that
she is in reality the character she personifies
MAUD Muller is great histrionic creation,
and if it meets here with half the success il
had in BcstoD,the play and the artist will have
prosperous run. Miss Marsh has bee n singular
ly fortunate in being able to secure this
talented artist Immediately after her Boston
success. The indomltable energy which
characterizes that lady in her management
must always command the waImest encomiums
of the public and the press.

day morning that Mr.. Ordway of this city and
his wife have recently received letters from
England stating that they have fallen heirs to
100000. Mr.. Ordway knows little or nothing
about the matter. but his wife says that very
distant relative of hers died several years ago
and since that time she has been endeavoring
10 get her share of the fortune left. She has
not had any letters from England in regard to
the matter, but still she is very con6den. that
the money will be received if not for ten years.
1t is to be hoped that this worthy couple will
receive the fortune, bat ii is very doubtful if
they ever get cent.
