The play of "a Celebrated Case" enacted al
Granite Hall, last evening, was one of the fines
perform noes ever given in this city. The play is
intensely thrilling and emotional in all its details
and requires first class talent in the leading char
acters. These were fully supplied by the Union
Square Theatre Company. The acting, the cos
tumes, and every thing connected with this emo
ton drama, holds the attention of the audience

We found the business in a deplorable
condition. Mr. Mann, who had been in
charge of the business, had collected

state of things by his Incorporate habits aud care

Manchester Locals.
Manchester has done bravely in the fuanc iAl
war which Was fought at the polls on Monday
last, between the advocates of sound money, and
he iag-meu, plus the democracy, Although a
small town Manchester has valiaUtly upheld the
republican banner. while sister towns have al
lowed 1t to tail PROSTATE among the filthy rags
Of greeubacksm.
1t is now a self.evldent fact that the democracy
and the rag merchants have united. Stop, unit
ed is not the word. 1t is a chemical combination,
not simply solution Of the two parties, bat it is
genu inc chemical combination and from the two
parties there has appeared Tuning and sedtious
faction, who boast that they will destroy at one
tell swoop the financial honor aud integrity of
great nation But let them beware, they have
reckoned beyond their strength. On the lst day
of January A. ID. 1879 the wave Of honest mon
ey will roll in upon them in manner which
will not he conducive to their ragged apparel
and which will add a lustre to the supporters of
honest money, which shall penetrate to the fur
hermost corner of our nation. The greenback-
ets were very active At the polls, one of them
came from Monmouth and worked oil day to
get republicans to vote the straight republican
ticket with the exception of representative
Frost the greenback candidate, being substituted
10 place of Martin. The democrats did not have
much to say as they were not particular wheth-
er their men voted the democratic or green
back ticket. Ia conclusion we would say that
Manchester is the banner republican town in
keunebec county, having cast larger republi-
ban vote as compared with the combination than
any other town in said coanty

). j. Alexander was nominated for

adopted declares that the damages sus
tained by the people of the States lately in
rebellion against the Union shall not be
paid out of the National Treasury, and that
the raid of the solid South in anticipation of
Democratic control of the National purse,
must be met with the same unfiinching
spirit of resistance which foiled the attempt
to take possession of our property by force
of arms that the faith of the Nation shall
be sacred, and its contracts redeemed in
the spirit and to the letter, and the
Nations honor shall be held invio1ate

Love Me, Love NV Dog.

Love me, love my dog" was the
motto of loving woman whose hus-
band predeceased her. When her own
time came, she left f65 a year for the
support of his favorite cob, and 95 a
year for that of his greyhound. specially
ordering that the frst-named was to be
kept, as it had been kept since its mas
ter's death, in a warm, comfortable
loose box, and not put to any work,
either in or out of harness, but to be
ridden four times week at a walking
pace, for one hour, by person of light
weight, with the proviso that its back
was never to be crossed by any member
of her husbands family. Pet animals
have often figured as legatees. Lord
Chesterfield provided for the mainten-
ance of his cat; an example followed
by Mr.. Harpur, who bequeathed one
Fannie Hodges the dividend accruing
from s100 in the three per cents so long
as his young black cat should live; an
excellent way to insure puss from being
cheated out of any portion of her nine
lives. Still more secure of effecting her
object was the dame who left two hun
dred guineas year to the caretaker of
her pet parrot SO long as she could give
ocular demonstration of Poll being in
the land of the living.
