queen" was repeated at Music hall on
Wednesday evening last, to q small but ap.
preciative audience, G. Il. 5. Pierce of Yer
genncs, acting as manager. The part OF
the king was again filled by Mr.. =. al
though New York gent this time was
billed for the royal position, but failed to
come to time. We wish not TO add, detract
nor diminish from the statement given in
TIE GLOBE last week, but wish to particu-
lariZs more fully as our motto is to give
''honor to whom honor is DUE We
would say first that it vas no more source
of qualification TO know that the efforts of
Mr.. Pierce were appreciated, than it was
that the talent of our musical ladies and
gentlemen OF our town was appreciated.
The musical talent of this town never
sleeps, therefore needs no awakening, and
the foundation of it was laid long ago
King Ahasuerus as acted by Mr. p. was
not failure, but it was plainly visible that
it was not his forte. The part Of Nor
decai as rendered by him was good. We
think him especially adapted TO that part.
Mrs. A. d. Austin as Queen Esther was
splendid success in every respect and Just
our ideal of the queenly character she per-
sonated; her stately, graceful and dignfied
person, her rich, full soprano voice, the
perfect confidence she displayed, blended
with all due modesty, might well lead the
observer to say, she is indeed the queen.
In her pleadings before the king for the
lives of her people and her stern rebuff of
the wicked Humans entreates for mercy,
the most relenting spirit shown toward
the little child Kalma pleading in behalf of
her father, were truly affecting. Zeresh,
| or Mrs. Haman, was finely personated by
Miss Helen Black. Mrs. t. p. Hoyt Of
New York as Mordecai's sister, with little
| more confidence, would have been perfec-
ton. Mr.. A. d. Austin, with his rich
tenor, did Haman in manner that ref C.
| ted great credit upon him. Had The char
acer of the king been assigned him VIC
think he would have carried off the palm.
| Mrs. Edith Beach, the prophecies, ID
sweetness of voice has few peers.
The chorus acquitted themselves nicely
and many fine voice clearly indicated
that they had received superior training at
an earlier period. s.A.

The suit of j. G. Williams, G. Il. Emer-
son and +. Bond, vs.. town of Tinmou,h,
was heard last Tuesday before A. S Baker,
esq. } N. Phillips was counsel tor the
| plaintiff and George CaprOn for defendant.
The suit was brought to recover reward
of 500 offered by The selectmen, for the
apprehension and conviction of the bur
glars who broke into the house of Tru-
man Young, in the west part of Tinmouth,
last year. A verdict was rendered in favor
| Of the plaintiff, and the case appealed.
The defendant claimed that the selectmen
cannot bind the town by offering reward
in such cases. We have never heard of a
case of this kind being tried before, and a
verdict from the supreme court will be
looked for with interest by many.
Two of the bridges on Mill river are CON-
pleted and the other will be ready for travel
