HE wasn,t a Subscriber.

Country editors occasionally have strange,
not to say comical, experiences. One of them
has related the following and as the victim
can't read it won't do any harm to print it,
notwithstanding he said it must be kept pri.
vate as it would make his subscribers mad.
The editor was sitting in his sanctum when
a Granger of tall anc lank appearance entered
the door and the following conversation fol-
lowed:
Granger-Be you the editor?
Editor-I am sir; can be of service to yon?
CT want to know what yon sent me bill
for tother day.
E-Tbe bill was sent, presume, to inform
you that you were owing for the paper.
G-But don't take your darned old paper
write nor there isn't any of my family th at
kin read or write, and when you sent that
darned old bill had to walk mile and a half
to get fellow TO read it to me.
E-There must be some mistake, sir. IT you
do not take the paper of course you will not be
required to pay for it.
G-Mistake: l should think there was.
Don't you suppose ] know whether take the
paper or not? Here Bill calling to friend at
the door, kin any of my family read or write
and d. they take this darned old paper?
This capped the climax. The friend replied
that the family aforesaid could not read and
never took paper, and the editor was con-
WINGED, notwithstanding the fact that the
family name had occupied 8 conspicuous place
on his subscription list for the last five years.
An investigation revealed the fact that there
were two men in a neigh5oring town Of the
same name and while one got the paper the
other got the bill

A SENsATIoN.-On Thursday last the famil Y
of Mr.. Noah Hooper, who live on Frye's Is.
land in Lake Sebago, saw well dressed fe-
male come from the woods in the vicinity of
the house, who sang parts of several songs,
Her head was not covered nor her hair put IN,
but was hanging loose over her shoulders. In
her hand she carried a white handkerchief
When an attempt was made to approach her
she fed to the woods. She has been seen once
since. Her tracks are plenty on the shore
made by well formed foot, and we'll written
disconnected letters are seen on the sand.
Mr.. Hooper's cows have come to the barn hav.
ing the appearance of having been MIXED land
pan of milk has been taken from the cellar
Friday party searched the island without
discovering the mysterious lady. The island
is three-fourths of mile from Raymond Cape
about three miles from the "Outlet'' and about
the same distance from the railroad station
Mr. Hooper's family is the only one living CT
the island, which contains about 900 acres
nearly all wooded. Of course tha stranger
and her mysterious behavior cause much ex-
element and speculation among the inhabi
tants in the vicinity of the lake.

THE GREAT REruB11c.-As the Allegory

THE GREAT REPUBLIc.-As the Allegory
was SO successfully given in Portland, only last
season, and in view of the fact that several
new and pleasing features have been added
since that time, public expectation was raised
very high. The Alegory illustrates in song,
defamation, dialogue, tableaux, &C., the i'm
portant events in our national history, from
the landing of Columbus to the present. Over
500 of our youth participated and rendered
their parts to the entire satisfaction of the
large and appreciative audiences Saturday af-
ternoon and evening.
The living pictures and massine tableaux
were very fine and brilliantly lighted. The
solos by the Misses Waterhouse, Perry and
Dresser were beautifully rendered. and both
ladies and gentlemen displayed much talent in
their speaking ana personation of their various
characters. Miss Susie Josephs as Indian
Princess and Goddess of Liberty delighted the
audience, her voice is full and pleasant and
well modulated, and her acting and gestures
are elegant. She was finely supported by
Misses Noyes and Greeley as Truth and JUS
tice, rendering several duets and SOLOS
charmingly. The military composed or
100 boys from the High School, marched and
drilled like veterans. The Colored Brigade
was very funny, bat rather long Saturday night.
The final grand tsbleaux, in which over 500
are grouped is simply immense. In short the
whole is a grand success, and something that
no one can afford to miss The Allegory will
be repeated at City Hall tonight for the last
time.

PORTLAND Observation-Disclosures evening
of this week theatre goers will have the oppor-
tunity of seeing one of the most popular of re-
cent plays produced by company of admitted
excellence. The play is Frederick Fosters
comedy, "a False Title,' and the company is
the New York Standard Theatre Company,
embracing such well-known and meritorious
actors as Eben Plympton, Gustavus Levick,
Ben Maginley, B. T. Riugold, Charles Sellsry,
Miss May Davenport, Mrs. Rose Osburn, Mrs.
Mary Hill and Mrs. j. W. Brutane. From a
powerful cast like this perform nce of undis.
puted excellence can only be expected, and the
encomiums passed upon the play lead US to be-
lieve that it is worthy of the actors engaged in
its Interpretation. There is every promise of
one of the finest theatrical performances to be
given here this season. The cast. with the ex-
caption of Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Bgutane, who
take the places of Mrs. Charles Poole and Mrs.
