The Eytinge Bene DIT.

This evening Miss Rose Eytinge takes a
benefit at the Portland Theatre. She is an
actress Of eminent ability who deserves large
houses whenever she chooses to appear Let
us on this occasion at least give her packed
house. The audiences that have greeted her
have been small. 1t would be proper to-take
this occasion to show her that the people of
Portland are not devoid of good dramatic
taste or insensible to her great merits Surely
if We bope in the future to have good acting
here we must encourage good actors when they
visit us. Mr.. Curtis has furnished the best of
entertainments since he opened the Theatre,
and his efforts have received scanty recogni.

The play to be presented this evening is the
new version Of SOLVER Twist" ade express.
ly for Miss Eytinge and in which she has won
her greatest reputation, taking London by
storm. The version while preserving all the
strength and dramatic fire Of the old adapta-
ton, omits the more brutal passages which
characterized that. When it was given in
London Palgrave Simpson wrote to Miss
Eytinge: 81 regard your performance of
Nancy Skies as the greatest piece of acting I
have ever Witnessed and Robert Buchanan
said, in Light:
That her Nancy Skies is great piece of
acting, unapprosched at this moment in Lon.
dop, we do most unhesitatingly aver. No one
should miss it; artists especially should study
it, for its extraordinary capitalization Of
gestures, in themselves vulgar To our mind
there is more royalty of strength in the free
and splendid muscular movement of this
coarse Nancy Skies than in all the statuesqae
attltudinizing of the haute ecole Observe her
closely as she recklessly f1iues her limbs about,
as she reproduces with wonderful truth the
loose and wild gestures Of the class she is
depicting, and yet never for one moment
passes the absolute line of beauty. The
grandeur of physical movement could "no

North Earuanufh.

The friends of the Congregational Society
at North Yarmouth will be glad to learn of the
reopening of the church edi6ce, which occurred
Wednesday with appropriate services. The
house has been closed since the first of Sep
tember undergoing repairs, and so thoroughly
has the work baen done that one would scarce
ly recognize in the present beautiful interior
the dingy walls and unsightly and still more
uncomfortable seats which had become SO fa-
miliar to us in the past.
The frescoiDg Of the walls, which attracts the
eye more particularly as we enter the house,
was done by Mr. Schumacher of Portland, an
meets witch general satisfaction. The old
styled, grained slips have given place to those
of modern pattern, and have been arranged
in circular form, making them thereby more
agreeable for the eye to rest upon, and far more
comfortable to the occupant. Another change,
which is equally as important as either OF the
foregoing improvements. is that of building q
recess on the rear of the house in which to
place the organ, and the forsakiDg Of the old
singing loft in the front of the house for more
agreeable.and accessible position back of the
desk. The former pastors who were present,
Rev. Mr.. Snow of Alfred, Rev. Mr.. Borchers
of Darlington, N. H., and Rev. Mr. Fowler of
Cambridge, Mass. assisted by neighboring
ministers, conducted the reopeping services,
and although the day was not so pleasant as
could be desired, yet the meetings were well at
tended and the people enjoyed an Intellectual
treat, Of which they will long be mindful.
Little more than one year ago the parsonage
underwent thorough repairs, and now with the
improved condition of the church and with
little or no debt few parishes are in a better
condition to enjoy high degree of temporal
and spiritual prosperity.

melodious voice in song, "Sing Sweet Bird"
At the close of the meeting the members of
the club, with their families and invited friends,
repaired to Mission Hall, where they sat down
to good supper prepared by the reform boys.

EGGEMoGGIN SILVER MINING Co. - The
Eggemoggin Silver Mining Co. have leased
their mine and smelling works at Sedgewick for
term Of twenty years, and the Van Wyck
Smelling Company Of New York will hereafter
take charge of the entire works. This COM
pany owns the celebrated Perth Amboy smelt-
ing works in New Jersey, and is a company of
wealth and high reputation. A few months
since DR.. Rae, the Superintendent, skillful
mineralogist, and j. T. Salter, the Treasurer
of the company, with other gentlemen, visited
the mine, and after testing the ore and exam
lining the works made written report to the
Van Wyck Company even more favorable than
that previously made by Prof. Bartlett of this
city, ard upon that report lease was effected
last week by Capt. DeeriDg, Judge Cleaves and
Col. Leavitt committee appointed for the
purpose, which was yesterday ratified by the
company. The Van Wyck Company will COM
mence operating in few weeks. This ar
rangement will entirely supersede any necessi-
ty for smelling works in this vicinity, as the
works at Sedgewick will be enlarged to capac-
ity to treat all the ores that may be mine in
the New England states, and will do much to
develop the mineral resources of the state.

Free Drawing school

In another olumn will be found an announ-
cement of the free drawing school shortly to
be opened by the Maine Charitable Mechanics
Association. The course will be thorough and
systematic and will consist of three classes,
architectural, me chanical and free hand draw
ing. The free hand will bs an entirely new
feature in this school, the want of which has
long been felt. Hitherto ladies have not
attended this school although it has been open
to them yet there were reasons why ladies did
not care to attend. 1t is now to he so con-
Quoted that ladies may feel perfectly free to
attend, and many will no doubt do so. The
school will be under able management and
cannot fail to be success. The teachers are
eminently qualified for their positions and are
undoubtedly the best that could be procured
in the State. Mr.. j ohn c. Stevens, draughts-
man of skill and experience, is to have charge
of the architectural class. Mr.. Wilson
Sprague has charge of the mechanical class.
He is a draughtsman at the Portland Com.
pany's works, and thoroughly understands his
business, Mr.. John B. Hudson, Jr., gentle
man of rare ability and experience, will have
charge of the free hand class, which will of
course be the largest class, as there are many
who desire to acquire some knowledge of the
art who do not desire to become either
architectural or mechanical draughtsmen.
The interests of the school will be well at
tended to by committee of we'll known
gentlemen, either one of whom is in his line a
host in himself The committee ars f. HI.
Fassett and Chas. A. Kimball, the well-known
architects, Chas. J. Schumacher, the fresco
painter N. E. Redlon and James r. Hawkes.,
both mechanics of reputation and well-known
builders. This school Is free to all and will no
doubt be profitable one. ALI applications
should be made as early as possible and per-
sonally to the Secretary Of the Committee,
