"EvANGELINE'' AT Music HALL.-This eve
ming Stetson's company will present Evan
geline' at Music Hall. The company is
good one and the following notice from the
Lawrence Eagle is worthy of attention in this
connection:
Stetson's opera bouffe company presented
the ever-popular extravaganzs, "Evangeline,
to large aud delighted audience at the City
Hall last evening. The piece had better
setting than ever before in this city, and the
dressing was the newest aud the very richest.
The music by the we'll trained orchestra under
the leadership of Mr.. Mullaly, was in itself a
feature, while the singing of the several parts
which go to make up the grand whole of this
bewitching extravaganza was excellent.
OF Mr.. Maffit as the "Lone Fisherman" Mr..
Tarr as "Bazip' and Mr.. Josephs as "Cath-
crime nothing need be said in addition to the
praise which has been heaped upon them, other
than that they fit their several parts if any
thing better than before. Miss Sylvester makes
an excellent "Evangeline," while Miss Lar
kelle as "Gabrier' has won even gre alter dis
tincton than has fallen to her share before
among lovers of the opera bouffe. As "La
Blanc Mr.. Lytell was complete success.
The funny whales and heifer dance were re-
ceived as before with deserved plaudits.

FEELS YOUNG AGAIN.

''My mother was afflicted a long time with
Neuralgia and dull, heavy, inactive condition
of the whole system; headache, nervous pros
tration, and was almost helpless. No physi-
clans or medicines did her any good. Three
months ago she began to use Hop Bitters, with
such good effect that she seems and feels
young again, although over 20 years old. We
think there is no other medicine fit to
use in the family lady, Providence, R. l.

engineers with them. It is proposed to run
about fifteen miles west of Houlton. This
road can be built at a very slight expense, as
the proposed route is an easy one. 1t will be
built by the Boston & Maine, Eastern and
Maine Central roads, and they are the ones
most interested in its construction. AS it is
now, the produce of Aroostook county is car.
ried over the New Brunswick & Canada road

REPUTATION.

First, last, and forever, we are OPP
posed to reputation of an honest
debt of a United States State, coun-
ty, township, corporation or an ihdi-
vidual. During the past few days a
co lvention of delegates from different
counties has been In session In THIS
city to devise the best plan to resist
their railroad bonded Indebtedness.
Different schems have been proposed,
some OF which Will appear in our eX-
tended report in another column. Ii
these debts are fraudulent the law will
protect you. If the law says they
are just, pay them, we don't see hat
all this fuss is about. If your debts
are honest OF COURSE you don't want
to repudiate them. If they are
fraudulent, the law will protect You.
If O can't pay them in full, pay
what you can, be as honest as you
can. COMPROMISE, don't get up IN
convention as a gent did Tuesday
and say that if the bondliolders wonld
not come to your terms you would
tell them s'to 90 to hell That
sounds childish, and besides you
make use of language not at all rhe-
tarical to say the least.
Audrain county has railroads, and
she has paid for them in fall, or rather
will in one year and IL bonds are
now at a premium. If we had dali
lied along and tried to get out Of our
debt we would have been i'll as bad a
fix as some of these burdcned coun-
tvs. We cast no reflection on any
of the delegates at all, when We say,
if your debt is honest, pay 1t like
men, if 1t is not honest the law Will
protect vou. If it is a valid debt and
YOU are not able to pay it, pay what
YOU can and show that you at least
have a desire to be honest and pay
your debts, if your debts are unlaw-
full and fraudulent resist them, II
honest pay them. Give us anything
but reputation and communism.

MIDDLE C ITEMS.

Yesterday we were informed, after
q rest from business of this sort, that
our items (Billy's) to the LEDGER
from this vicinity would be read with
interest, by the members of the Sum
day school of this place if we would
just notice them enough to
state the great progress the school is
making, and the interest taken i'll it
by its members etc. But one par
ticular they wished us to state with
pre~cision--in regard to a Sunday
school pic mic. The following we're
the conclusions of the officers of the
school on Sunday last in regard to
the matter, which we learn from the
Secretary's report. The officers CON
vened after adjournment of the
school.
A motion was made and carried that
this school (NIiddle Lick) hold a
Union pic mic at this place sometime
this summer and extend an invitation
to all the Sabbath schools in the
eastern part OF the county through
the county newspapers means
and ask them to send two or more
delegates to 4 convention to be he'd
at the East Lick school house on Sun
day the 23d day of June, at 20 O'Clock
a. H., to settle the time when the
pic mic shall be to make arrangements
etc. John Coons, w. Ii. Beal and
Elias Cotgrell were appointed to 60
to the said convention as delegates
from Middle Lick. Probably it
would be better to name a few of the
schools that will he expected to send
delegates to the convention above
named. Farber, Laddonia, Johns
BrancL, Beagles, Hickory, Vandalia
and probably others, and this is all
We will say about it this time.
