A Word from Old Falmouth.

AT public meeting held at Falmoath on the
18th February, 1875 on notice duly given, the
following preamble and resolution were unani-
mously adopted:
Whereas, The use of alcoholic liquors, as a bever-
age, has direct tendency to destroy domestic hap
piness, corrupt society, encourage crime, and drag
men down to poverty. pauperism, degradation and
ruin; and
Whereas, The continuance of intemperance among
us, except on very limited scale would be impossi-
BILE, without the secret liquor traffic which gets lq-
uors among us; therefore
spectfully demand of it, that we may be protected
from the malignant influence of that traffic, by
whatever further pains and penalties of fine and i'm
prisonment may be necessary to that end.

Royal Harry.

Last evening the Rignold combination pre-
sented "Henry V" to a fair house at the
Museum. The presentation of the play was an
agreeable surprise to most of the audience, and
an unspeakable relief to all who ever saw it
properly presented in large theatre. 1t had
been feared that representation undertaken
in place SO obviously unfit for the display of
pageantry or the production of spectacular
effects as the Museum boards, would prove
travesty. But the difficulties were wonderfully
well overcome, and the result pleasing rendi-
ton. not free from faults, but so far lettering
expectation that faults were readily condoned.
Mr.. Rignold's impersonation of the English
King is a marvellous piece of art. His impos-
ing presence, the grace and dignity of his car
riage. and his handsome person quite meet the
physical conception of the conqueror of France;
while his rich deep voice and finished elocu-
ton give to the lines all their proper influence
and effect. He is in appearance ''the man
born to be King" and one can easily fancy
that brave and warlike race would hasten to
raise him upon their shields, and thatsfairies
clustered about the cradle of the young hero
with their gifts The charm of his acting is as
great as that Of his presence. His interpreta-
ton of the character is in all respects satisfy
ing, ample in breadth, vigorous in action, and
with sustained dignity and reserve which
lends to it charm entirely foreign from most
of our actors. Mr.. Rignold seems TO have lost
little of his fire and vig0r, but the impersona-
ton is still Incompatible, and the only one
which gives an adequte conception of the most
complete historical character which Shakes
peare ever painted.
The support, though quite as good as that
which usually travels with star, was made
quate. 1t would be of course unreasonable to
expect cast like that in which Messrs. Thorne
and Bishop played "Fluellsn" and "Pistol'', or
hundred supernumeraries on SO restricted
stage as that of the Museum. Indeed the SOL
diers, citizens, &C., were if anything too num-
erous, crowded the boards, and gave to the play
graEdiose effect. That however, was the fault
of thetheatre, not Of the company. But the cast
was weak. The dauphins, dukes, earls aud lords
were horrible beyond description, and the
"Pistor' of Mr. Meade was bad Mr. Tanna-
hills "Fluelen" was, however, good perfor-
nance. and the woman who took the parts of
the "Boy" and the "Princess" discharged the
offices creditably. Miss Marie BFabrook was
handsome "Rumor' The scenery was, con-
sidering the limitations of the stage, good. The
"Harheur" scene, "Agincourt'' and the sentry
into London" made handsome and striking
pictures. The trained horse acquitted himself
with great credit.
The play will be given every evening this
week ard at the matinee Saturday.

A WONDERFUL EscAPE.-Yesterday morn
ing as Mrs G. P. Mattocks was making calls
on Congress street, in one of j. w. Robinson s
fine landaus, the driver left his seat to leave
card. The horses being near their stable start
ed as soon as he dropped the reins. From a
walk they soon Increased to much faster gait
aud when they reached Milett's store were go
ing at high rate of speed. There tbs car
rage struck stone post with such force as to
take the hind wheels out from under it. Mrs.
Mat.ocks chung to the inside and the disabled
carriage was dragged across the street to the
head of Green street. Here the landau struck
lamp post with such force as 10 throw Mrs.
Mattocks through the side window to the ave-
ment. Strange as it may appear she was not
injured in the least, although the carriage was
ruined. If she had tried to escape when the
horses were running she would doubtless have
been badly injured. So much for presence of
mind

Reasons Why All Should Use the
Reactjonary Health Lift.

1t makes strong appeals to the common sense of
furnishes an exercise which may and should be in
troduced into every house; which may be practiced
at all seasons, in all kinds of weather. by persons of
both sexes, all ages, and degrees of strength or
weakness, alone or in company. No one can say too
much in praise of it, and no one can afford to do
and consider it invaluable and indispensable. 1t is
the safest, simplest, cheapest and most efficient
medicine ever discovered No claim is set up for it
which is unscientific or impracticable.
Generai.-It is the best of rest. 1t is perfectly
safe. No harm ever came from its use. 1t strains
no portion OF the system. 1t directs the vital forces
to the affected parts. By its the health is easily
maintained. The purchase of Reactionary LITTER
is the best kind of economy. The convenience of
having one in the house is very great.
Mind and Brain. - 1t invigorates and
strengthens the brain, and renders it more active
and efficient in all its operations.
Sieep.-It is the simplest and safest narcotic. 1t
is the most natural and probably the best means of
inducing sound and refreshing sleep.
Nerves.-It is a wonderful tonic to the whole
nervous system. 1t is a most eficaeious remedy in
paralysis, if taken in time.
Lungs. Throat and Voice.-It gives special
expansion and greater mobility to the chests en-
larges the lungs; increases the volume of respira-
ton, and brings the voice more fully under control.
As preventive and cure of lung diseases it has no
equal.
Exercise-It is the most perfect exercise for man
or woman, furnishing the best form of physical
culture and development in the safest, easiest.
most thorough and expeditions manner. 1t is
better than the gymnasium, and free from its
than boating, and infinitely better than drugs in
majority of chronic diseases. 1t rounds and harens
the muscles, and educates them into ever ready,
faithful and efficient servants of the will.

John Young the colorcd brute who was ar
rested last Saturday evening for making an
indecent assault on lady named Mrs. Susan
Taylor, was arraigncd in the Police Court yes
terday. The prosecuting attorney stated that
he bad prepared two informations, one charg-
Ing assault and battery with intent to commit
a rape, and in case the evidence was not sutli-
cient on this charge he had another against the
prisoner for assault and battery. Mrs. Taylor
was the first witness called, and positively
identified Young as her assailant. She was
subjected to a rigid cross-examination, but her
testimony was conclusive aud could not be
shaken. John Davis, a colored man, who saw
the prisoner running down an alley from the
scene OF the outrage, was next called, and also
Identified Young Officers McMahOn and
