Mrs. M. Lucretia Baker.

Mrs. Baker gave concert on Thursday eve
ming in the Methodist church, Brunswick and
had an excellent audience in attendance, the
lady having long resided there and retaining a
host of warm friends among the people of the
village. Her reception was all that she could
have desired, and it must be said that she
more than filed the anticipations of her earn
est admirers, having, during her few years res
idence in Portland, developed her voice, al
ways rich and musical, and acquired a facility
and delicacy of execution which quite sur
prised those who heard her sing years ago in
Brunswick Modest and unassuming i'll man
ner, yet careful and painstaking in her style,
she sings without apparent effort and enlists
the warmest sympathies of all who lissen to
her. Her execution of save Maria" ana

best advantage. The duet with Mr.. A. =.

evening, the two voices beautifully harmonic

struction requirinl for its adequate presenta-

The quartettes by our well known artists,
Messrs. Colby, Tewksbury Folansbee and
Shaw, were very finely rendered aud the Sc
lectiOns were of the very best. Mr.. Shaws
"Who treads the path of duty" was one of
the most finished solos that we ever heard him
sing. Miss Morse of Bath, las pianist displayed

The New Theatre.

Now that the Deering heirs have decided
not to remodel Music Hallat present, and the
proprietors Of Portland Theatre have decided
not to lease the theatre after this season, as
they desire to use it for other purposes, it re-
mains for the theatre-going public to decide
whether they wish to have satisfactory place
for theatrical entertainments, content them
selves with Music Hall in its presen state.
A better opportunity will probably not occur
again for years, if forever, to erect proper
theatre at a fair price. What would have cost
$4,000 in 1868, can be accomplished for $25,
600 now, and especially is this the case when
we consider the proposed theatre will be per-
fectly plain, rough finished building outside
and the great proportion of the subscriptions
expended on the inside. Already some S15,-
600, have been subscribed, and only $4,000
more are needed.It seems to us that if several OF
our well-known merchants would go and see
others who have not thought much about the
matter, the whole sum could be raised in less
than week. By the first of May, at least
ground should be broken, so that the building
can be ready for occupancy by October. AS we
said before the public must remember they are
not requested to give their money. They are
investing in an enterprise like bank, receiv.
ing their stock, having voice in the election
Of officers, and receiving a regular interest
semi-annually on the stock. 1t is useless te
expect that the best combinations can visit
Port and unless they feel assured it will pay
them to come. To get that pay the audience
must be sufficiently large and great number

May Day FeStiVal.s

The Bosworth Relief Corps is an organiza-
ton of ladies who are relatives and friends,
and members of the Grand Army, and its OBJ
iect is to aid in the charitable work of the lat
ter association. For this object its members
have labored faithfully and well for many
years, having accomplished vast amount in
quiet way To replenish its funds the ladies
propose to hold May Day festival at City
Hall next Saturday afternoon and evening
and they certainly deserve crowded houses.
They propose to give varied and interesting
entertainment comprising many very popular
features, Including singing by excellent talent,
readings by our best elocutionists, and living
pictures The silent drill by forty-seyen young
misses, and also by the Portland Cadets
braiding of the May pole by sixteen young
misses; the whole requiring over one hundred
different characters. The programme offered
should be sufficient to fill the. hall, while the
use to which the proceeds are to be devoted
should call out the sympathy of all our people
in substantial manner. The prices of admis-
sion are placed very low, and no one can ne.
elect to attend on that account. Let the la
dies find that their worthy efforts are appre
ciated

NOTES.
Miss Jennie sHagan, medium and poetical
improvisation, should draw a good audience to
Rossini Hall tomorrow afternoon and eve
ming.
Wednesday night Mr.. George Hoey, son of
the talented retired actress of New York--Mrs.
John Hoey-brought out his adaptation of
Wallack's Theatre, under the title of ga
Child of the State.' Mr.. Wallack took the
principal role, and Miss Emily Rigl the princi-
pal female part. The Tribune says: The
piece is in five acts, and introduces thirteen
characters The scene of it is laid in Holland,
and the story of it relates to the perilous con-
sequences which, under the laws of that re-
markable country, attended any amatory trif-
ling with the young orphan girls who were
wards of the realm. The situations are strong,
and in two or three instances intensely dra-
matte. The piece is interesting, and the spec
tator follows it with much the same feverish
avidity with which one pursues the narratives
of Gaborien. There are several most painful
almost volcanic-crises in this work, result
ant ON the danger that wifes secret of pre-
liminary and complicating maternity will be
exposed to the husband who has welded her
with perfect confidence in her unsullied past
Also these come from the faulty of youth
who wishing to marry one woman, has been
fooling with another. The posture of these af-
fairs is an antique, but, in this instance, it is
brought about by good means, and the emo
tional force of the drama is great.

The Barron Estate.

Legal measures are being taken which will
probably result in Mrs. Barron, the mother of
the late treasurer of the Dexter Savings Bank,
getting the $1,000 bequeathed to her by her
son, as support for her old age.
Treasurer Hamilton of the Dexter Savings
Bank says, in reference to the legal measures
taken to recover $4,000 of the missing funds of
the bank from the Barron estate, that the case
will be entered at the May term of court.
But before the case can be tried the court will
appoint commissioners to examine the books
and accounts of the bank. When the case is
tried the evidence will be given to the public
in legal form, and justice to everybody de-
mands that this should be done to the fullest
extent.

MALT BITTERS.
The Property Returned to the Owners

The Property Returned to the Owners.
The case of the recent seizure of malt bitters
and alcohol from Messrs. Sweetsr and Whip
pie, druggists in Market Square, was brought
before Judge Knight in the municipal court
yesterday morning. Hon. Joseph A. Locke
appeared for the defendants and F. S. Water
house, Esq. assistant county attorney, for the
compliments.
Sheriff Ring testified that on the 10Th in
slant he went into Mr.. Whippes store and
searched for intoxicating liquors. He found
quantity of alcohol in barrel, of which he
brought away about gallon, which amount
he thought would answer just as well as the
whole quantity. He took also several bottles of
malt bitters which were placed in the window
for sale. He found two bottles of sweet wine
which he also carried away. He said that he
couldn't distinguish by the taste whether the
bitters were malt liquor or not. There had
been no analysis and he didn't know of what
they were composed. The wine was simple
sweet wine and not very strong. He knew no
facts in relation to whether it was kept for
illegal sale or not.
He said that the vine was of the kind known
as Malaga, and was used by him principally
for preparing cordials and other medici mes.
The alcohol was used simply for compromising
medicines, and he could not carry on his bust
ness without it. In reference to the malt Bit
tiers he said that he kept them as matter of
course, the same as any other patent medicine.
He knew nothing Of their composition, having
never examined them.
Mr.. Locke said but few words in summing
up his case. He stated that it was evident that
the alcohol and wine were kept for leg itimate
purposes and that his clients knew nothing
whatever about the malt bitters. He there
fore asked that the gentlemen be discharged.
Judge Knight said that no proof had been
introduced to show that these bitters were
malt liquor. They might be and they might
not be. Ale, lager beer, &C., are known to be
malt liquors, and although these bitters may
be, they are not known to be. He said he saw
nothing on which to hold the defendan is and
he therefore ordered their discharge and the
| return of the property seized to its ow ners.
