The New Valuation

1t is said the tax bill for the current year
will show that the rates are trile higher up
town and correspondingly less in the lower
section of the city, A reason for this has been
suggested which is that the Back Bay nuisance
has affected rents in some localities to such an
extent as to materially lessen the sellin value
of the property. There will be q discount OF 3
per cent on all taxes paid before the 18th of
next month, instead Of the LIST as heretofore
The delay in making out the bills on the new
basis has Jed to the adoption of the change Of
dates.

THE DOUBLE MARRIAGE.
Wednesday and Thursday nights Miss Kate
Claxton will appear with her company in the
''Double Marriage at Portland Theatre. The
New York Herald says:
Miss Kate Claxton deserves not little
| praise for the production, under her manage
| meut at the Lyceum Theatre last evening, of
| Charles Reades dramatization of '.Double
| Marriage" The audience was large, standing
room uncomfortable, and even the veteran
first nighters'' saw much to applaud. There
| is no reason why play SO lull of dramatic in
| terest should not become success. There is
| in it an attraction Of interest that makes every
| person present content to await the denoue-
ment. The piece is destined for run.
wooDFoRD's CORNER.
| The people Of Woodford,s Corner, Deering.
are to have musical treat on Thursday even
ing next, in the concert to be given at Lewis
Hall. The following is the programme:

THE JUBILEE SINGERS
The Grand Army will present the Fisk
Jubilee Singers for their next attraction at
City Hall next Thursday evening. This COM
pany has always had very strong hold upon
the American people, and they have well
earned the reputation they have secured. They
have drawn and will continue to draw largely
from the religious community of all denomin-
ations So popular have they been that scores
of colored troupes have sprungup like mush-
rooms and have endeayored (vanly) to imi-
tate the original company. The Fisk singers
have this to contend against, but their pres
ence, wherever they sing, settles the question
of originality. Their faces and voices cannot
be counterfeited. The great bass voice of
Loudin, the full rich soprano voices of Maggie
Porter, Jennie Jackson and Patti Malone, the
deep, clear sweet voice of Mabel Lewis, with
Ella Sheppard as accompani st, cannot be
mistaken. The tickets can now be secured at
Saockbridge's.
NOTES.
Everybody will want to hear Josh Billings
lecture at City Hall next Saturday night on
''The Probabilities of Life" Get your tickets
at Stockbridge's at once.
Chanfrau will appear in Exit at Portland
Theatre, Friday aud Saturday nights, and
Mrs. Chanfrau in Parted Saturday after
noon.
November Sth, Joseph jefferson will appear
at City Hall in his great specially of Rip Van
Wrinkle His appearance will probably be at
tended by an audience that will crowd City
Hail. The sale Of seats will open next We'd
nesday morning at Stockbridge's and there 4
will undoubtedly be a rush.
The sale of seats for Mr.. Chanfrau's per-
formances of exit will commence at the
theatre box Office this morning.
The sale of seats for Helen Potter's Pleiades
will commence at Stockbridge's this morning.
